Chapter 10: Dance?

Well then...

Perhaps it was worse, but Kenny was in class every day for the next few days. He did his work, quietly, and never acted out. Surprisingly he never did anything to draw attention to himself, and seemed to fade easily into the back of Craig's life. The raven wondered why he cared. After all, the blonde had fucking molested him. Heshould be the one feeling guilty.

But the expression he'd seen on Kenny's face flashed in front of his eyes every time he closed them.

'Damn it…'

He sighed. Kenny had kissed him. But why? Probably just to mess with his head. That was something that kid would do. If that had been Kenny's objective, he had achieved it.

Craig's eyes slid across the room to rest on Kenny's writing form.

He sighed again. He didn't understand; there was no other reason for that damn blonde to kiss him, no other cause that showed itself to Craig. Yet the blonde had looked honestly hurt after when Craig had punched him.

Maybe Kenny was a better actor than he thought.

Worse of all, he was beginning to feel…strangethings for the blonde. He had dreamed of kissing the other boy last night and it left him more confused than ever. He didn't know what to think now.

It was quite possible that he was attracted to Kenny. Fuck. He never really considered the chance, but now that he thought about it, it made sense. He wished it didn't. Why couldn't it have been anyone else but Kenny?

He stood up as the bell rang eager to get to lunch. Maybe he'd be able to forget about his problem for a little while.

The lunchroom was loud and hectic, perfect for distracting him from his thoughts. Craig snagged a table by the windows, dropping his things in the seat next to him wanting to be alone and not be with his friends. He was one of the first people to see what was happening at the front of the room.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" It took a few minutes, but eventually the noise settled down.

"I have an announcement," The principal said. People looked at him expectantly.

"Well, what the hell is it?" someone yelled.

"A dance," The principal replied. "South High will be hosting a dance for you students. You will be allowed to go to town in groups if you need to get an outfit, or whatever it is you all wear. You are also allowed to bring a date. That is, if you can getone." The man smirked. "That is all. Have a nice lunch."

Whispers broke out as soon as the principal left.

'Seriously,' Craig thought, 'you'd think there were any attractive girls around this school with all of the chatter going on.' He shook his head. He wasn't going to go, but he wouldn't say no to going to town without having to chase a certain blonde there.

Kenny.

'Shit…'

Without thinking, Craig's eyes searched the room for the blonde. He found him rising to dump his tray, a look on his face that Craig couldn't realize. Finally understanding what he was doing, Craig dropped his eyes to his food again. Let the idiot do what whatever the hell he wanted.

Craig certainly didn't care.

He told himself he didn't watch Kenny's retreating back as the boy hurried out of the cafeteria.

The week leading up to the dance was chaotic. The teachers eventually gave up on getting anything done, because no one was really paying attention, anyway. So all talk turned to the dance and which 'hot chicks' people had scored as dates. Craig rolled his eyes as strains of conversation floated over to him.

"I swear man, she has the biggest—"

"She's got the best…figure to look at."

Wow really? We don't give a fuck.

Kenny wasn't in class, but he wasn't skipping. His group number was in town right now, as Craig's group would be when they came back. He heard the familiar sound of a bus pulling up outside the gates.

"Group 16, please report to the main office. Group 16 to the main office, now," the loudspeaker blared. Craig rose from his chair, the sound of the legs scraping over the tiles lost in the din of voices. He quietly took his leave out the room.

He joined the group of kids in the hallway heading toward the main office. There was a lot of babble here, too. Craig could feel the headache coming from a mile away.

His shoulder rammed into someone moving in the opposite direction. He turned to snap at them to watch where they were going, but he heard a familiar quiet voice, "Sorry," stopped his rant before it left his mouth.

"Yeah, no problem," he said, but the blonde was already gone. Craig exhaled sadly and turned to walk with the crowd again. Those had been the first words he and Kenny had said to each other in the few days following the kiss. At least they were making progress it seemed. And it wasn't like he missed Kenny or anything.

'Nah,' He knew he didn't miss that annoying blonde. Not at all.

Craig shook his head sighing and boarded the bus. The teacher chaperone nodded to him, seemingly content to have at least one calmed kid on his shift. Craig nodded back apathetically like always flipping him off as he looked away. Sliding into his seat, he took out his iPod and slipped on his headphones, losing himself in the abyss of his music.
