Chapter 9
"This is it, out last chance!" Said Marie nervously. "Do this right!"
The girls strolled coolly over to their chairs, straight across from where the boys had their chairs. They all sat there for a minute, wondering who was going to make the first move. Eventually, James nudged the other guys into talking to them, mostly because he wanted to talk to Patti. Luckily, he could serve as the ice breaker.
"So Patti, a blue shirt and khakis then?" He said, standing up.
"Yep. I've got a a blue skirt, so we'll match. Are these your friends?"
Patti asked, even though she already knew the answer all to well.
"Yeah, this is Logan, Kendall, and, Natalie, you already know Carlos."
Natalie gave big smile and did a cute wave at Carlos. Playing it up a little, and remembering what Carlos was like, Ember said to Marie,
"I hope we get dates as nice as them to the dance."
"Yeah, me too."
Carlos gave his squeamish puppy look. He turned his head to Natalie, and said,
"Can we bring them too? I bet we could all have fun together."
Natalie rolled her eyes with a gentle, yet goofy grin, and said,
"Sure, why not?" And Ember, Natalie, and Marie all jumped up and gave Carlos a big hug, Carlos grinning like a little kid. From there, the groups mostly dispersed. Joyce, eventually came down, and Kendall decided to leave after that. Two hours later, everyone was back in 2J, and there was a "Group meeting." James got a big whiteboard out of nowhere. He started scribbling, talking as he wrote.
James-Patti
Logan-Camille
Carlos-Ember, Natalie, Marie
Kendall-?
"Okay Kendall, you still need a date. May I suggest Joyce?"
"No." Kendall got up and left. He admitted that he was on good terms with Jo, but he still didn't want to take another girl to the movie, Jo okay with it or not.It was 7:30. James and Carlos went to 2K and met up with their dates, then walked down to the park. Carlos may have had three dates, but it went more smoothly than you'd think, at least for Carlos. James, of course, charmed Patti, so no problems there. Camille arrived at 2J, and there was a happy smile shared. To Logan, it was the best felling in the world to have his girl back. Kendall just sat on the couch, the door open, watching everyone leave in pairs for the dance. If Jo just showed up, so much would be fixed for him. But no one was walking down that hall, until hedid hear someone walking down the hall. A gorgeous brunette, at least gorgeous to Kendall. Joyce, though he felt stupid about it. Subtract three letter from Joyce, and you get Jo. He wished it was Jo, but whoever she was, she was standing in the door, and Kendall had to snap out of it. Joyce paused and said,
"So, you're not going to the movie then?"
"Nope. You?"
"Nah, I never got a date."
"Me neither." There was an awkward glance between them, and then they both shook their heads, like they were blowing off the idea, and then they laughed. Kendall mustered up the courage and asked, as if he didn't know,
"So where are you from?"
"Florida. I lived right by Disney, and no I didn't go there a lot, if you're going to ask."
"What makes you think I was going to ask?" Kendall stood up, and walked to about four feet away from Joyce.
"I just get asked a lot."
"I actually had something different I was going to ask you."
"And what would that be?"
"I was going to ask you, if you wanted to go the movie with me."
