"Are you guys talking about the dance too?" Bree asked as we walked up to the boys together.
"Why is everybody making such a big deal out of this stupid dance?" I said.
"Nobody's asked either of you yet, have they?" Chase said with a smug smile on his face.
"No." Bree whined and looked towards a guy who was stood a distance away from us. "I really wanna go with that guy."
"His name is Ethan." I said.
"We sit together in Chemistry. Coincidence? I think not! Chemistry!" Bree exclaimed and I giggled.
"And I don't want to go with anyone because dances suck and they're boring." I drawled.
"What should I do?" Bree asked.
"I got this." Chase said. He brushed some hair away from his ear and stood still, looking over at Ethan. "He's talking about a girl he thinks is cute." He paused. "Ew! He's talking about you." Bree got a really excited look on her face. "He's coming over here right now to ask you to the dance."
"What? No! Now? Why? Really?" Bree stammered.
"How's it going?" Ethan said to Bree as he walked up to her.
"Ethan!" Chase said. "What a huge surprise! To see you here! For reasons we do not know..."
"Hey Ethan!" Bree yelled and then started stuttering, trying to get her words out. She pointed in one direction. "What is that over there?" Ethan fell for it and Bree flashed out of the hallway in the other direction.
"Where'd she go?" Ethan asked.
"Uh... more importantly, what is that over there?" Adam pointed and Ethan fell for it again. We all quickly made a run for it.
"What the heck are you guys doing?" I asked as I saw Adam trapped under a row of lockers.
"Getting Danielle to go to the dance with Leo." Chase said excitedly.
"You know, the kid could just ask her." I told him.
"Yeah, but that's way too difficult." Chase laughed and then turned towards Leo. "Ooh, they're coming! Commence phase one of Operation Lady For Leo!"
"Oh no! This man is trapped. He looks like he needs a hero to save him. I will take charge and heroically do just that." Leo said fakely, his acting terrible.
"Oh no. We're running out of time." Adam said boredly. "Save me before the alligator comes-"
"Wrong rescue!" Leo hissed after kicking the lockers to shut Adam up.
"Idiots." I muttered.
"I will lift these lockers." Leo said. "One, two, three." Leo grabbed the lockers and 'lifted' them, even though I could see Adam pushing them up with his arm. "So heavy."
"You're a true heroic take charge hero." Adam panted after getting off the ground.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe that just happened." Danielle said.
"You know, it takes a big man to do something like-" Leo stopped talking as Danielle pushed past him to talk to Adam.
"How are you not hurt?" Danielle asked. "You must be so strong."
"Wait, what?" Leo exclaimed. "No! He's not the strong one! I'm the strong one!" Leo threw up his arms in a muscleman pose. "Hero!"
"Maybe I should walk you to the nurse's office." Danielle smiled.
"Uh... what about Leo?" Adam said.
"He's not hurt!" Danielle said stupidly.
"Look at me!" Leo said. "I'm an open wound!"
"Really, I'm fine." Adam tried to stop Danielle from paying attention to him.
"Okay, good, 'cause the dance is Saturday and I love dancing." Danielle laughed. "Maybe we could hang out." Adam nodded at her and Danielle left.
"Great plan, Chase!" Leo said.
"What are you talking about?" Adam said. "That didn't go at all like we thought it would."
"You stole my woman!" Leo exclaimed as the four of us walked into the lab. "Where I come from, we call that a love crime!"
"It's not my fault I look brave under lockers." Adam said. "I was trying to help you!"
"How?" Leo said. "By saying you'd go to the dance with her?"
"I'm keeping my options open." Adam excused. "It's the first time a girl's interested in me, and it's kinda nice."
I looked down sadly. I was actually kinda interested in him. He was cute and strong. If I was even remotely interested in the dance, I would have actually asked him.
"Ooh, it's kinda nice." Leo mocked and then jumped on Adam's back, trying to hurt him.
"Stop it, little man." Adam said awkwardly. "You're gonna hurt yourself."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Chase said, walking over and pulling Leo off of Adam. "Guys, this is getting out of hand. It's like watching a chihuahua fight a horse."
"Is Danielle really worth all of this?" I asked.
"Yes!" Leo and Adam said at the same time.
"Adam, you cannot go to the dance with Danielle." Chase said.
"It wouldn't be fair." I said. "Leo wanted her first."
"Hey, all's fair in love and fake locker accidents." Adam said. "Fine. He can have her."
"It's too late. The damage is done." Leo said sullenly. "I'll never love again."
"Leo, I'll talk to Danielle." Chase said. "I'll convince her that Adam's not an option and that she should be with you."
"Yeah, go to the dance with her." Adam teased. "But everyone's gonna think you're dating your babysitter."
Leo tried to launch himself at Adam but Chase stopped him. I reached up and slapped Adam on the back of his head.
"Moron." I murmured.
"So, here's the deal." Chase said solemnly as we walked up to him. "Danielle's not going to the dance with either of you."
"What?" Adam asked. "Who's she going with?"
"Me!" Chase exclaimed happily.
Leo launched himself at Chase and started roaring, trying to pull Chase down. I quickly grabbed him and pulled him off.
"You guys have seriously got to stop fighting over this one girl." I told them. "It's ridiculous. There's more than one blonde beauty in the entire school."
I'd actually decided to go to the dance. I had picked out a knee length pale pink dress that complimented my skin tone and some pretty silver ballet flats. I felt hot in it and I was going to amaze the guys at the dance.
When I had walked in, the guys were staring at me. I smiled and shrugged at them.
"I thought you weren't coming to the dance." Chase stuttered.
"Well, I knew that sitting at home was going to be boring so I decided to make myself look even prettier and come put all these girls to shame." I grinned.
"That is what you are certainly doing." Adam muttered. I blushed profusely.
"Well, you look beautiful, Mia." Chase smiled at me.
"Thank you, Chase." I smiled back, flipping my blonde hair over my shoulder.
I looked to my side to see Bree looking beautiful in her dress that was different. It had a flowing blue skirt and a patterned top with sleeves. She wore blue heels that looked hard to walk in. She strutted over to the other side of Leo, almost falling over.
"Okay, if you're going to dance in those shoes, I suggest wearing a helmet." Leo said.
"Well, I'm going to find the next available guy and dance with him." I said to the guys. "I do not want to be lonely tonight."
Turns out, no guy other than Leo and Adam were available tonight. But it was funny watching Chase dance. He had done moves that made him look crazy. Then Adam had swung Danielle around and threw her into the rafters. Finally, Leo had got the girl with a choreographed dance number with his Aunt Janet's book club.
"Hey, Mia." Adam said nervously, his hands stuck in the pockets of his jeans.
"Hey, Adam." I smiled at him.
"Um, would you like to dance?" Adam asked.
"I'd love to." I said. "As long as you don't throw me into the rafters."
"I promise." Adam grinned.
"Do you know how to slow dance?" I asked.
"Uh... no." Adam stuttered.
"I'll show you." I laughed and grabbed his hands, putting them on my waist. I linked my hands around his neck and grinned. "Now you sway with me."
Adam started swaying and so did I. The song was slow and smooth and it felt good to dance to. My heart was thumping loudly against my ribcage as I laid my head on Adam's chest. I could hear his heartbeat pick up as I performed the action.
After what felt like hours, the song stopped and I looked up at Adam. He smiled down at me and I couldn't help but return the gesture. He was leaning close to my face and my breath hitched as he was inches away from my lips. He closed the gap and he was kissing me. Adam Davenport was kissing me! I kissed him back softly and I could feel eyes on us.
When we pulled away, Adam was blushing hard. And I think I was too.
"I... uh... gotta go." Adam stammered and ran out of the gym.
I watched him leave and sighed dejectedly, sitting down on a bench.
"Well..." I muttered to myself. "That was different."
I am so sorry for not updating so soon! Like, really sorry! But here is Leo's Jam! Also, Adam and Mia kissed! But Adam ran out on her! What do you think will happen in Rats on a Train? Also, I hope for my Mighty Med fanfiction to be out next week and my Kickin' It fanfiction to be updated soon! Please review this chapter, it would make my day! And I'm sorry this was one was shorter than usual. I didn't mean for it to be. And if you have seen the Kickin' It episode, The Wrath of Swan, Mia's dress is Kim's dress exactly. Just imagine that.
