Chapter one: The Dance
It was the last week of term and, as usual, the Winding Circle Dinner Dance was coming up. The thing is, it's not usual for The Four, as it's only for fifteen year olds up. So this was their first time going. Naturally Sandry had been to loads of dinner dances before so it wasn't much of a deal to her, but all the same she was looking forward to it.
Last week they picked out what they were going to wear, Sandry got a royal blue dress with a V-necked back, Daja got a red sleeves dress with a black backless back, Tris got a brown skirt with a white string top to match last but not least, Briar got a black tuxedo. None of them had dates, as they were too nervous to ask anyone.
Until Briar's emotions got the better of him.
"Sandry, I was wondering if, ahh, maybe, ahh, you'd like to, ahh go to the, ahh Winding Circle Dinner Dance with me?" he asked. " Briar, are you asking me out", said Sandry, curiosity and hope were going through her at the moment.
"Well, yes," he answered, " but you don't have to if you don't want to," he added quickly.
"No I want to, I mean I'd love to go with you," she said.
That night they went to the dance, Daja paired up with Kirel as neither of them had dates and Tris, who didn't like the thought of dancing at all, brought Little Bear, who in himself was possibly the best dressed at the whole party with his cute little doggy tux that Sandry made, was quite happy to go out on to the dance floor and get his groove on!
When they got their it hadn't started yet so they all sat down. Both Briar and Sandry looked extremely embarrassed and could hardly look each other in the eye; however, they did manage to stare at each other while the other wasn't looking. When the music started they got up and bumped into each other and both started splurting out apologises. Then they looked at each other and burst out laughing, at that moment their nerves left them at once.
When they got on the dance floor Briar stopped to ask Sandry a very important question.
"Sandry, I'm going to ask you a question now and if the answer is no, then I'll never ask again. Okay, here goes, Do you like me like me? Or do you only like me as a friend like me? Or if you only like me as a friend like me, do you think there's any chance of you ever liking me in the way I like you? You did know that I like you like you, because if you didn't then I just made a huge fool out of myself? He said all that so quickly that it took Sandry a few minuets to get what he meant.
"Yes I do like you like you, yes I did know you like me like me, no I don't think you could ever make a fool out of yourself and.yes I would like to go out with you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Well it's about time!!!" a voice from behind them shouted out. It was Tris, "What? Oh come on I was NOT the only one listening in on ye!"
"Well we were going to find out in a few minuets anyway," said Daja, coming out of her hiding place of behind the jug of punch.
"They've got a point!" Sandry and Briar said together. Then they started to dance again.
Tris and Daja decided to sit down to talk about their foster siblings' love life.
"Hey Daja, while we're on the subject of love life, what's the deal with you and Kirel?"
"Since when have you become so interested in my love life?"
"Since now, so?"
"Look I don't really know, I mean, I suppose I kindo' like him but don't tell him 'cause I know he doesn't like me back, I mean, he's WAY older and." but she never got to finish as at that moment Kirel walked right past.
"Did you see the way he looked at you?"
"What way?"
"Don't pretend you didn't see it! He HAS got the hots for you!"
"Do you think so?"
"Oh, I know so!"
