Chapter 1:

*Elynn's POV*

Sunlight hours turn dusk hours. My body grew tired and sore from practicing so much. I don't care. I have got to everything I can to get into my dream school. Cannot afford any mistakes. Actually I cannot afford to do anything since I am a greaser.

I spin a move, but end up doing it a little too fast. Making me to loose my balance.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed surprised, waiting for the ground.

"Hang on I gotcha!" a very familiar male voice speak and a pair of strong arms caught my fall.

Looking up, my hazel eyes meet the dark eyes of my best friend from elementary school. Darrell 'Darry' Curtis, the star athlete of our high school's football team. He's a senior and I'm a junior. Also the love of my life.

"Thanks Darrell," I thanked him, out of breath.

"There's no need to thank me Elynn," he chuckles, helping me back up on my feet. Base on the sweat covering his long, greasy hair and neck, he must be coming from football practice. "Are you alright?" he asked sounding concerned.

"Yea I'm alright for now," I smiled to him. "I think I'm done for the day."

"Football practice is done for the day as well," Darry says. Then he looks nervous and scratches the back of his head. "Umm Elynn?"

"Yes Darrell?" I asked curiously to the six foot tall senior.

"Do you want to get some coke now?"

I hummed, pretending to think. "You know what," I smiled to him, "I would love to."

"Really?" he smiles back.

I nodded my head, still smiling. "Allow me to get dress in normal clothing and we can leave together."

"Of course."

I walk towards another room of the dance studio and change into my normal clothing. The dance outfit turns my black pants and long sleeved black and gray striped sweater over my black tank top. My dark as night hair has fallen down to my hips from it's bun.

"I'm ready," I smiled to him once I got my boots on and my bag across my body.

He smiles, seeing me.

We head towards his car. Darry takes my bag and place it in the backseat before opening my door for me. He gives me a smile while he's being a gentleman to me. I smiled back, liking this behavior.

Soon we arrived to the Dairy Queen. Darry holds my hand which makes me blush as we enter in. He orders for the both of us. Turns out we are both hungry and thirsty as well.

He and I order sandwiches and soda which he happily pays for it.

"So how's your dancing going?" he asked with a smile, sitting across from me.

"If I get my dancing done by next year's audition to Dance Dance Academy," I explained, "I should make everything perfect by then."

"Base on what I have seen, you are perfect," my childhood best friend smiles to me, gently placing his hand over mine.

I blush as I feel his thumb making circles on my palish peach flesh.

As time goes by, Darry notice that it's getting late. Which I agree due to the dusk hours turn evening hours.

He takes me to another location that the evening made it more beautiful. A small river flows underneath a small bridge in the nearby forest.

"This is so pretty," I commented with a smile.

"I'm glad that you liked it," Darry smiled back. "Umm Elynn?" he sounds nervous.

"Yes Darrell?" I asked, looking up to his amazing eyes.

"For many years now since we first met, I have fallen in love with you and it grew everyday," his confession shocks me in a good way. "You're so beautiful Elynn and amazing in every you do for everyone and yet you follow your own dreams on your own."

"Darrell, I have fallen for you too," I smiled, knowing this is for real.

After hearing these words, he smiles more and gives me a kiss on the hand. We hug each other before looking deep within each other's eyes.

"Will you be mine?"

"Forever and always."

He leans in which I meet him halfway into our first kiss. A romantic, sparkly kiss.
