We now turn our attention to Diego just a little bit. I know the story involves the Mosley's, but maybe Diego can experience what going to these dances is all about. Hope ya'll don't mind taking a huge risk here.
Chapter 10: Diego's First Dance
Later, Diego sees all of his friends just dancing with their dates and he's just sitting there, drinking some punch as he was looking. He sighs heavily and didn't know that this was something that actually occurs and it's the first time he's ever seen this kind of dance. He reverts back memories of being cooped inside of the dark room back at group home and never really wanted to see what actual fun is like until today. He sighed heavily and figured that he never asked a girl to dance with him, because he is who he is. All of a sudden, a girl-15, 5'4, 144 pounds, blue eyes, brown and grey striped fur, dark hair with a few bangs on her eyes, wearing some blue jeans and a green T-shirt-comes through and sits down on her seat, unaware that someone else is sitting next to him.
She looks at him and then looks back, thinking that she might bother him and everything. Then, Diego looks at her and she asked, "Is this seat taken already?"
"No." Diego answered.
The girl sighs softly and asked, "Having fun?"
Diego just looks at his cup and answered, "Not sure. This is my first dance and I'm not so sure if I can dance with anyone yet."
"Me neither. To tell you the truth, this is my first time also and I can barely ask a guy to dance with me."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You from around here?"
"Sorta. I'm kinda new here in this school."
She looks at Diego and sees the piercings on his face and looked a little nervous about it. She then said, "If I'm bothering, I can like..."
"Oh, no. You're not bothering me at all. I'm just looking at my friends and my brother and it looks like they're having the time of their lives."
"Yeah, I know."
Then, Diego looks at her and he quickly looks back at the table and felt kinda nervous. He then introduced himself saying, "I'm Diego."
"I'm Jennifer Banks."
It became silent for a while and then Diego asked, "So...you wanna...dance?"
"Sure." Jennifer replied.
Both of them got up from the table as the DJ plays another slow song and they started slow dancing together. Diego chuckled nervously and said, "I've never slow-danced before."
"It's kinda my first time dancing. I've done some slow dancing before, but not with dances like this."
They both danced and it was sorta awkward for both of them, but there was a small spark between them, even though it didn't even occur. For the first time in Diego's life, it seems as though it could be something new and it was something for him to be getting used to.
Noah looked around and sees Diego dancing with a girl and he smiled a little bit and he was very surprised about what he saw. He chuckled softly and kept watching them dance together.
As Diego and Jennifer danced, he looked into Jennifer's eyes and said, "You have beautiful eyes."
"Thank you. Yours too."
"Thanks...I think."
"I bet you've been to dances before."
"Never."
As soon as the slow jam starts to end, both of them looked into their eyes and it seems as though there's a spark, but it was a very awkward spark, because it was the very first experience both of them have. As it stops, both of them stopped and Diego cleared his throat and said, "Nice meeting you, Jennifer."
"You too, Diego. Thanks for dancing."
"You're welcome."
Both walked away and Diego walked back to the table and he saw Noah sitting down on the chair and he looked at him with a grin on his face. Diego looks at him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I saw you dancing."
Diego chuckles nervously and said, "Well, it's no big deal."
"Who's the girl?"
"Jennifer."
"See, if you're dancing with a girl for the first time, everyone will dance with you as well. Looks like you have a very first valentine's day dance."
"Yeah, I guess."
"You having fun now?"
Diego smiled a little and said, "I guess you can say that."
Jonah, Travis, Max, Frankie, Cody and Mike came to Diego and Mike said, "We saw you dancing. Didn't know you had it in ya."
"I didn't." Diego asked.
"Looks like you're having fun." Cody said.
"Well, I wouldn't say that."
"Don't give us that. You were having fun. I can see that smile on your face." Jonah said.
"What smile?"
Diego suddenly feels happy and he chuckles softly and then said, "Well, I guess you're right. I think I'm starting to have fun."
"It only gets better."
So, what did ya think? Anyways, I'm gonna wrap this up with an awesome ending!
