Chapter 2: Bon-Diggity Dancer
Kim walked out into the cool air of the night. Gathering her nerve, she said, "Enjoy the Spirit Dance Josh?"
"It was cool," he replied casually.
After walking a little further, Kim spoke up again as the school started to disappear over the hills, "Sorry again about destroying your first banner and all. The second one was pretty sweet. Where did you come up with the idea for the dancers you painted on the banner?"
"Actually it came from your friend, the guy at the cheerleading practice."
"Ron?"
"Yeah him. It was that phrase, Bon-Diggity Dancer."
Kim slightly cringed at that memory. Especially, how Ron with no shame practically announced to everyone in the gym that she was crushing on Josh Mankey. "Well, Ron does have his moments," she replied.
"I was surprised he wasn't at the dance. Do you know why he wasn't there? He seemed very spirited about the whole thing this week."
Realization flashed across Kim's mind. Ron was still in that closet. I left Ron locked in the JANITOR'S CLOSET!
"Ron's still in the closet! Sorry Josh, but I gotta run. Catch you later."
Josh simply replied, "Sure thing," as Kim took off towards the school grounds.
Quickly going through the fronts doors, she made her way to the janitor's closet. As she opened it, she immediately starting saying, "Ron, I'm so sorry I…." Kim trailed off as she saw Ron asleep, using a mop head as a pillow. Only Ron could fall asleep like that, she thought to herself. Walking over to him, she poked his head. "Sleepyhead, rise and shine."
Rolling his eyes open, Ron sat up and said," Oh, hi KP."
"Sorry about..."
"Don't worry about it. It's their loss that they couldn't see my bon-diggity moves," Ron said as he gave a quick dance pose.
"Oh, I'm sure the loss was epic," she replied as she controlled her sarcasm.
Following some awkward silence as they walked out of the school, Ron looked over at Kim who seemed to be lost in some thought. He asked, "So, how did things go with Mankey at the dance?"
Kim's voice went perky as she said, "Fantastic. It was spakin' the whole night. Didn't even have any missions come up to ruin the mood."
An ear to ear smile appeared on Ron's face as he replied, "sounds great." At this point, they had reached Ron's house. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow Kim."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow Ron."
As Kim walked away, she thought to herself, WHEW. Glad he wasn't upset about getting locked in a closet.
As she walked away, Ron thought to himself, she looked like she really enjoyed herself tonight. Her eyes really shine when she's happy. Ron did a little dance jig as he made his way up the driveway to his home as he said aloud "Bon-Diggity Dancer."
