She's The One
The cheerleaders started doing their chant, and Amy and Ben were watching. "You like the party so far?"
"Uh, yeah." She screamed over the voices and music. Ben started staring at her hair. Amy noticed him looking and started grinning. "Yeah, Ben?"
"Oh, nothing." He couldn't take his eyes off her until she looked away. Ben touched her a little bit and held her hand. She smiled as if she liked him already. Ben took her to the food table, taking everything they had there while she only half a hamburger bun. "Are you sure you don't want anything?"
"No, it's ok. It's just that I don't have that kind of appetite. It might change soon."
"Why?" he asked looking at her eyes.
"Um, never mind that. I don't even know why I even said that." She smiled at him.
"Are you nervous, am I making you nervous, because I'm nervous."
"No, I'm fine."
"I think so, too. I mean you're talented, you're pretty, and you got to be smart to play that French horn. How long have you been playing that thing?"
"The 3rd grade."
"Why the French horn?"
"I don't know, I was too small to carry the tuba?"
"Ha, funny, too. What a dame."
"Dame?" Ben turned around and saw the counselor.
"Um, will you excuse me, just a sec?"
He walked away leaving Amy alone. He started talking about letting him into the band and noticed the band's drummer looking at Amy with her two friends that Ben has no idea who they are. He gave Marc his food.
"Whoa, be cool, it's your first date." He said tugging his arm.
"Yeah, I'm cool, but I hate that guy." He started looking at them talking. He was glad Amy didn't talk to him, but getting mad because he was still talking. "That's it, I'm going over there."
"Ben, it's only been a minute."
"A minute too much." He started walking over there.
"Hey, do me a favor and dance with Grace's brother so I can dance with Grace."
"The only one dancing with Amy is me." He said stepping up to save Amy's back.
"Oh, I'm surprised you dance. Come on, with your no sense in rhythm and all, see you at band practice." He walked away to Grace.
"I think someone feels threat." Amy kept looking at him laughing a little bit. "So you dance?"
She shook her head. "No, not really."
"Neither can I. How hard can it be?" He took her hand and led her to the dance floor dancing along to the music. "So, Amy, tell me about yourself."
"Well, I like chicken wings. I could tell you that."
"I was right about the funny thing, wasn't I?"
"Yes, you were, I like you."
Suddenly, the music changed to slow dancing. Before they could do anything, they noticed Ricky with Grace. Ben sighed but calmed when he put his arms around Amy's body.
Amy held on tight thinking about what she was going to tell Ben. A few moments have gone by with her chin on his shoulder, but she heard someone screaming Grace. Ben and Amy first looked out seeing who it was but realized they have each other and continued dancing.
Everyone had left by now, but they were still there dancing. They stopped when the music stopped. "Good night, Amy."
"Good night, Ben, thanks for everything. It was fun." She went to the exit. "Aren't you coming home?"
"Um, yeah. I just couldn't stop looking at you."
She waved goodbye and laughed playfully. "See you at school, Ben." she whispered to herself.
Thanks for reading, and please review! I'm kinda new here...
