Seaview High- Gymnasium- Homecoming Dance
Derek's POV
I'm happy to finally be at the homecoming dance. Its been cancelled and postponed about 5 times and its already early november! The reason why the dance was postponed was because the game was because of conditions on the field. Gophers had decided that football field was their new home and because of that gopher holes appeared all over the field. So, finally, after the gophers were placed in a wildlife preserve and their holes being filled the homecoming game took place, but we were minus one player. Last month, October, when Kyler was running to catch a pass he stepped in a deep gopher hole and broke his leg. Its been in a cast even since and every girl is treating him like a star, except Kali, which I'm glad for. She played a great game earlier but she left before the dance. I hope it was just to go home and get changed because even though the dance had been cancelled time and time again I still didn't have the guts to ask her. Right now I was sitting at one of the tables with Kyler and Crystal. Alex and Candri were slow dancing and Crissy and Austin were flirting back and forth on the other side of the gym. Kyler was sitting with his cast proped up as he let a bunch of girls sign it. I noticed Crystal hadn't yet and I noticed she looked kinda jealous. I looked up when I heard the gymnasim door opened and my eyes widened when I saw Kali.
Kali's POV
I went home right after the game still debating whether or not I would go to the dance. My mom had a beautiful red dress and red heels so I asked and she lent them to me for the night. I let my hair down and shook out my curls and I applied light make-up. My mom drove me to the dance and now I was walking through the doors of the gymnasium only to find everyone looking at me which made my face match my dress with a blush. I spotted Derek, Kyler, and Crystal and I walked over to the table.
"You look beautiful..." Derek said softly. I smiled up at him.
"Thank you." I whispered sitting next to him. "You look hot-I mean nice." I silently cursed myself. He smiled lightly. Crystal looked over and smiled at us. The song changed and the tempo slowed and I watched Crissy and Austin start to dance and I looked to Alex and Candri who were kissing. I made a face clearly grossed out.
"Kinda gross huh?" Derek commented lightly. I nodded and Crystal agreed. "Do you..uh.." Derek started and I looked over at him. "Uh...wanna..you know..dance?" he asked. I nodded trying to hide my smile as he took my hand leading me to the dance floor. We were inseperable the rest of the night.
Crystal's POV
This dance is so stupid! All I'm doing is sitting across from Kyler, who flirts with every girl that comes up to sign his cast. He doesn't care that I haven't yet, because I'm still thinking what I should write. I sighed, I hadn't even danced yet. I think I'm just gonna leave. Before Derek asked Kali to dance I told him I was leaving and I would see him at home. I headed down the street when I heard my name being called and I turned to see Kyler following me on his crutches.
"Don't leave yet.." he said when he finally reached me. I just looked at him and shook my head.
"Why should I stay? I'm bored and there's nothing to do there." I said then I ran ignoring him calling my name. I ran four blocks to my house and ran upstairs to my room and I didn't open the door later when my mom said someone was here to see me.

"Who should I audition for?" Crystal asked. Derek, Candri, and Kyler all came over to there table

"Why?" Kali asked.
"Because it would be fun!!" Crystal said.
