Before You Read
Not really much of a story. I was bored, so I wrote. And here is the fruit of my boredom... kinda... And I'm going to rewrite it, I just need some critisisam before I rewrite it.
To Ask To Dance
I stood at one end of the hall, gazing apon the flashing lights and blaring music. My head ached, my stomach spun from the over-eating I had done... and I was enjoying every minute of it. The bliss of the lights flashing to the beat of the music, the doubles of people dancing on the floor, chatting, eating, drinking-oh, a party is a delightful thing. Especially in my home village.
Zola had gone and danced with Jibral to a fast pace song. Those two had so much fun together. Maurmaro hadn't yet gotten enough food in that boulder-sized stomach of his. Shu was talking to Kluke in the corner. I? I was sitting on the bench at the sides, watching people dancing.
My eyes rolled back to Shu and Kluke. I yawned and watched Kluke nod in hyper agreement to whatever Shu was saying. I yawned again and Melody came into view. She began to get into conversation with Shu and Kluke and I just stared at them blankly. Shu turned to Kluke, waved, and walked off with Melody to the dance floor.
I yawned and watched as Kluke smiled when Melody and Shu danced. I just watched them blankly. I wasn't sure what to think. My head was too spinny from the flashing colors and crazy music and over-dosed food to actually begin to think. After a moment, I processed that this song was a slow song. "Lips of an Angel" by Whoya? I couldn't remember the stupid band's name. And I really didn't care at the time.
I switched my attention to Kluke. She was alone now. My head finally cleared up and I was able to think, Hey! Shu just abandoned her! which was probably my most delayed thought in my head ever. It also occered to me that if I was going to ask Kluke to dance, now would be my chance. Never at a dance was she alone. Never. She was always with someone.
I really didn't want to miss my chance. But, as I went to move to ask her, I stopped. My leg were shaky, my forehead was sweaty, I was a mess. She wouldn't want to dance with me like this. What if she said no? What if she didn't want to dance with me? Would it make our friendship shaky? Ruin it even?
I looked back at Melody and Shu, dancing in the middle floor. My mind drifted off to imagining to if Kluke said yes. I would be dancing with her in the center floor. Our friendship would be stronger, and I could finally tell her my feelings (as if I hadn't already). I turned back, summoning all my courage and hopes whileso, and looked at her.
My hopes dashed. Kluke was talking to another boy. Kage was it? She went into the middle floor with the "dashing" young man and smiled as Kage took her hand and grabbed her one shoulder and they began to dance. My head fogged up and everything went back to the way it was before. Confusion, dizzyness, and nausea, flashing lights, clones of people, blaring, misunderstanding music. I leaned back on the bench.
I had missed my one and only chance.
