Save the Last Dance

"Look, Jamie, your really cute and all, but we just can't go out." Catie Roth tried to explain to her best friend Jamie Waite.

"But, why?" Jamie asked questioningly. He stood up and walked across the EMS lounge, "Why can't we exactly go out. We confessed our love to one another last month. We should have been going out a long time ago."

"Whatever Jamie, but I better be getting home, I almost got grounded yesterday for being fifteen minutes late for my cousins wedding. Oh, and plus I have to stop by Val's."

"Oh, yeah, Val took today off, Emily's filling in for her.

" Wait, wait, wait, did you say wedding?" Jamie swallowed hard.

"Yes, wedding, and don't you be getting and ideas. Your to young." Catie smiled and teased him as she tried being funny and wipped his chin apposing he was still a baby.

Jamie laughed, "Get out of here, Short Fry." he teased.

"Short Fry? Yeah right. At least I wasn't two feet taller than everyone else in the second grade, like some tall, dark haired, guy in the room." She teased, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear.

"And what may I ask is so wrong with that?" Jamie asked sarcastically.

"Well, Jamie, I really have to go. Val is trying to get me to go to the crashbomb dance Friday."

"Oh, so your going?"

"Probably, I mean if she really wants me to go to one of those happy go-lucky goody girls dances, I'll go and waste my time at some dance with all those cheerleaders, football players, and teachers pets. But hey, I con't have anything better to do. You going?" Catie asked rolling her eyes and throwing her hands in the air for most of the time.

"I - I'm not sure." Jamie said. He rubbed his chin suspiciously and turned away, "See ya."

Catie walked down the street with her black backpack and holding her coat. Why does Jamie really want to go out? Or was he just playing?, She asked herself. She looked at the ground and looked up when she reached the end of Vals driveway. Her moms car was gone and Vals room light was on. Catie walked into the driveway and up the porch steps, she knocked lightly, but she knew she didn't really have to. Val opened the door with a half eaten apple in her hand, "Oh Catie! What's up?!" She smiled and let her best friend in, "Catie, you have to go to the dance! Tyler told me Jamie's going."

"Val, umm sorry to burst you bubble but, I can't go out with Jamie."

Val ignored her best friend because she knew Catie would eventually end up going out with Jamie. Val grabbed Catie by the arm and dragged her upstairs to her room. "Okay, we have to figure out what your wearing."

Ten minutes later Catie was standing in front of Val's mirror trying on a flowing white dress with a tight belt that just wasn't Catie. Catie liked black.

"Val, get me out of this..... white dress!" Catie acted like she was going to die if she wore that any longer.

"Oh come on Catie it's not that bad." Val said putting her hands together.

"Well, then what are you wearing?" Catie asked putting her hands on her hips.

Val smiled an evil smile and walked to her closet and showed pulled out a long, black, no sleeved, dress. It was definetly Catie.

"Look, I thought me and you could exchange styles for the dance, and we can change personalitys, ya know, like trick the guys." Val suggested, smiling.

"What?! Are you like, so totally crazy?" Catie freaked. She looked at herself in the mirror while Val was quiet. She had to admit, she didn't look all that bad in that dress.

"Okay, Val, you got me on this one..." she began, it was silent, she rolled her eyes, ".... okat I'll do it. But, only because I wanna make the guys so totally freaked."

"YES!!" Val was perky. *lol typical cheerleader ;-)*

Catie had to smile. She looked into the mirror and said, "The new Val Lanier." and Val looked in and said "The new Catie Roth." giving and evil smile like Catie did when she was seriously mad at Jamie or something.




It was Friday night driving to the dance. Jamie and Tyler were in teh backseat, Hank was driving and Val was in the middle of Tyler and Jamie, everyone thought Val was crazy, she dressed, looked and acted like Catie. Hank looked back and said, "Val, come on. You have to quiet down."
"I'm sorry." Val said singing to the music.
"Man, this is way funner than going to the dance dressed as a cheerleader." Jamie said, he was wearing black dress pants and a nive sweater.
They were on there way to pick up Catie. When Catie was walking out to get into the car Jamie was shocked she looked beautiful in the tight long silk white dress, it was Val's, with her hair up and pieces falling down to the front sides.

"Hey Jamie, Val, Ty, Hank," She said as jumping into the front seat with Hank.

" I wanna yeah from your head to your toes and I wanna..." Val was singing Ludacris.

"Val, I don't like being you. Dressing like you, acting happy like you, ect." Catie whispered into the backseat.

"Too bad because I love being you. WHOOOO!!" Val screeched.

Jamie cringed at the sound of that scream in his ear.
