M -

My eyes immediately popped open as I heard my phone ring. I snatched it off the side table beside the bed. I hoped it was Derrick. I knew it would not be.

I pressed answer, and tried to sound non-groggy. "Hey?"

"Derrick? Where are you man? Class is going to start in like 10 minutes." Josh said frantically. "Come on, you said you would!"

I groaned, and took a quick look at the time. 11:48? "Crap, sorry. Pick me up?" I asked jumping out of bed. I heard Josh groan but he gave a quick reply of yes. I mean why wouldn't he? I was doing this solely for him.

-five minutes later-

I was somewhat dressed neatly. I wasn't sure what to wear for a dance class-when you're a boy. I just put on some dark jeans and a white t-shirt. I ran downstairs and grabbed the milk carton. Mrs. Harrington frowned as I started drinking.

"Where's the fire?" She asked.

"Dance class, got to go!" I said, running out the door and at the same time wiping my mouth. Josh was waiting for me, and impatiently gestured me into the car. "Yeesh," I muttered to myself and got in.

"You could have been on time you know," Josh said, speeding.

"I see the real gratefulness in you. How about a nice 'thank you, I owe you one'? I'm doing this for you, you know that." I said, glaring. It's a good thing boys don't PMS, or there would be a lot more fighting.

"Thank you Derrick, the awesome, the greatest, coolest, amazing, nicest person, no wait, god ever," Josh said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Much better," I said grinning. After this whole switching bodies business was over, I am somehow going to become Josh's friend. He's creepy, but funny. Talking about switching bodies, I wonder if Derrick's coming today. I wonder if Claire told Alicia.

Josh quickly parked into a parking space right in front of a dance studio. I took a deep breath, and got out of the car. "Josh you owe me big time." I said, pushing open the door of the studio. Girls were giggling and stretching. They were all mostly ninth and tenth graders thank gawd. I saw Alicia, Claire, Dylan and Kristen whispering in a corner. I frowned to myself. I didn't see Derrick.

Josh nudged me, "There she is, Alicia. What should I say?"

I rolled my eyes, "Josh, did you just really ask me that? Like really? You're the damn flirt, man." Josh at first scowled, thinking I insulted him, which in a way I just did. Then he nodded.

"You're right. I'm the man." I rolled my eyes, but at this second, he was. I tried stop the chuckle that was coming up, but it escaped. "Shut up Derrick," he said. I followed him, for one, to be able to talk to my friends, and two, to crack up at him flirting with my best friend.

"Hi, ladies," He said, leaning on the wall. Alicia and the others watched him, with a hint of a smile on their faces.

"Hey," I said, trying to not draw attention to myself. I didn't want to be rude though. Claire noticed me, and gave me a wide smile.

"Hi Derrick!" I nodded at her.

"Hi there," Alicia said, scooting next to Josh. "Mind if I'm you're my partner?" She asked, winking. Josh smirked, trying to seem not as happy as he was probably feeling, and shrugged.

"Sure, so what's you're name sweetheart?" He asked, even though he already knew her name. I guess it made sense; he didn't want to seem like a stalker.

"Alicia."

"Josh."

They wandered away, leaving me alone with three girls, who I am best friends with.

"So," I said awkwardly. "Um, so where's um, Massie?"

Kristen and Dylan raised an eyebrow, and Claire frowned. "She said she would be here." Kristen said. Thank Gawd, Claire didn't tell them!

"Cool," I said and took my phone out. I started to type. I knew the girls were with out a doubt reading over my shoulder. Some how…

Hey Mass, Be my dance partner. Come quick.

I hit sent. I hope he would receive it. After he received it, I hope he would read it. And after that, I hoped he wouldn't be so mad.

-10 minutes later-

I watched the door like a hawk. Lots of girls came in, but none of them were Derrick. Claire was still trying to flirt with me, and I didn't know how to make her stop. I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

At the same time though, I was majorly creeped out. I don't want to be a lesbian, not that I'm against lesbians or anything, but I'm straight, and proud to be so.

"Derrick,"

"Yeah," I said, trying to sound uninterested. I looked through the apps on Derrick's android. He had angry birds. Yes!

I clicked on the app and started playing, causing my hair to fall in my eyes. I watched Derrick enough to know that I looked absolutely hot right now. I couldn't help but grin now.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Claire asked, scooting closer to me.

"Um yeah," I said, awkwardly. I checked my texts, nothing. Maybe he's not coming.

"Will you be my dance partner?" Claire asked, her blue eyes shining.

I sighed, if I had to have a girl dance partner, I rather it's Claire, even if she does hate 'me' now. "Su-"

"Derrick!" I heard a familiar voice call. It was Derrick. Calling me Derrick, but whatever! He came!

"Sorry Claire," I said, "I kind of promised Massie," Claire looked sincerely sad, and nodded and walked away, toward Kristen.

"Derrick, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have erupted on you like that. It's a girl thing." Derrick said with a slight grin on his face.

I smirked, "It's okay, I know just what you mean." I coughed to cover up my laugh. Derrick smiled.

"You're my partner, or else, I'll feel really awkward dancing with like someone else." He said. I nodded.

"Attention students! I am Madame Kyro, and I will be teaching you all to dance. We will learn an assortment of dances, but today we will work on ballroom dancing. Please partner up, and we will begin."

I held my hand out, and Derrick took it, having a ridiculously girly smile. I chuckled. This felt so wrong. But it felt so right.

~TO BE CONTINUED~

Hope that was okay! I'm sorry for the delay once again. Today is the first day of summer for me! Updates will be much faster and faster yet, if all my wonderful readers review! :D
