Dining Hall and Ballroom: 8:00 pm

Dinner on the first summer night of the club, is always…well, hectic. Once we entered, the ballroom, everyone was on the dance floor, paired off. The Kid was supposed to meet me by the enterence, so we can go to the dance place across the lake. Finally I saw him, waving me over.

"Hey! Sorry, I'm late! Um, I could, kinda use your help, with the watermelons".

"What? But, I just helped you carry them over, not long ago-"

"I know, I know. Sorry". He helped me down the stone steps. "But, NOW I gotta put them in the shed. Look, I'll carry one, and you carry the other, alright?"

I sighed "Oh, alright".

"With much grumbling aside, I carried the one (but heavy) watermelon, in my arms.

By the time we reached the shed, my arms were achy and sore. "Kid? Where is this 'dance club', exactly?"

As the Kid , locked the back door, he pointed to the front door. "Closer, then you think".

He pushed open the door, and what I saw, was pretty much...interesting. People were dancing close, while a record player was playing jazz in the background. But in the center, stood dancing a tall dark haired young man, with tiny spikes in his hair. His partner, looked Latina, with dark brown curly hair, and was lazily holding into his neck.

Despite the music, they were pretty much well….making music of their own, by the looks of it.

The Kid noticed them. "That's Ryan Castle, and his dance partner, Gloria".

I nodded. "Oh".

"He's been here, since the spring. Every female here, seems to have a crush on him".

"Really?"

"Yup. Gloria, here, has seem to taking a liking to him as well…."

They did seem cozy…

Just then, the record changed. The Kid grabbed my hand. "C'mon Renee! Lets go dance!"

I followed my best friend to the dance floor. As we were grooving along with the music, I felt two pairs of eyes, on me. I turned around for me to come face to face, with Ryan , and Gloria. "Hey". He said nodding at me. He held out his towards me. "Wanna dance?"

I slowly took his hand. "Uhh , sure". As soon as his palm made contact with mine, I felt a little pressure, in the back of my skull. He led me back, to dance floor. Once we were in the middle of it, the record had changed, to "Do You Love Me" by the Blues Brothers.

Ryan pulled me close to Him. "Relax", he said. "Let the music, guide you. Don't guide the music". I let his words melt in my ears as the song sped up. Then, all of a sudden, Ryan took my hand and spun me out of his grasp, and spun me back in.

It continued on, for awhile. But not for long, because pretty soon, the song had ended.I was sweaty, and sore, and Ryan looked equally the same.

But nonetheless, I had fun. I think Ryan did too.

He held out his hand. "You were pretty awesome out there"

I smiled. "Thanks"

"What's your name, Doll?"

I blushed. "Renee. Renee Sands"
