My Childhood Friend
Chapter 11: Let's Dance
Me, Gltich, Layla and Mo arrived at the arcade using the fashion designer's car. The other members passed cause they have things better to do they said. It's nine in the evening but the arcade was still full of people.
I looked around and I saw my best friend calling me while Mo already bought tokens and waited for the others to finish in DC 2.
Suddenly, as I watched two people playing the video game, I saw Lil T with the other girl. He called out to Glitch and Mo looked at the young protégé with horror.
"Help me…" Glitch said to his mentor but he doesn't know what to do and the girl was walking closer to me and my best friend.
"I heard your crew won in a duel earlier." Lil T said and I stared at her serenely.
"Oh… wow, the news spreads fast." He said while scratching his black hair with green highlights. The girl looked at me from head to foot which made me irritated. The Asian boy moved a few steps backward when he saw what Lil T.
"Wanna dance?" She asked with a peculiar grin. I looked at my best friend who was about to talk but little T raised his hand signing my best friend not to talk.
I got angry and feigned a smile at her. I crossed my arms and walked closer to her. My best friend covered his face and peeked a little.
"You're on…" I said coldly and my eyes became sharp and serious. Glitch's jaw dropped when he heard what I just said. Mo smiled with relish to see how I'll handle the Flash forward. He asked the others to give us some space when I and my rival stood in the middle of the floor.
"You pick…" I said with a creepy grin and Glitch suddenly whispered in my ear and lil' T glared, "What do you mean she'll pick. Her style is so different from-"
"Shut up and watch." I said annoyingly and looked at my best friend's green eyes. His eyes widened when he saw the way I look at him and he hasn't seen that look for a long time.
He grinned with exitedly and stood beside his mentor. Mo suddenly got curious about his young protégé. For a minute there he became serene and he looked at me with a peculiar grin on his face.
My rival picked whip my hair by willow smith and my lips turned into a rare smile cause I know that she's going to pick that song, obvious about her style and the way she's dressed.
"Is your best friend going to be-"
"She will be more than fine…" Glitch said cutting his mentor off. Mo blinked twice and watched to attentively. The song started and we both copied the starting move.
"I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth…."
"Don't blame me if you don't know this song…" Lil T said with a grin and I just uttered a laugh which made her to feel troubled and nervous.
"Who says I don't?" I said coldly and gave her my scary grinned that I haven't showed in a while until today.
Me and Lil T mirrored the steps and my best friend took his phone and recorded it while fighting with the Flash forward. Mo watched me attentively and smiled. He noticed that I moved like his young protégé but also have my own style that makes it different from Glitch.
"I hate dancing this song…" I said trying to faze Lil T, "It's always giving me a bad hair day…" I said and I heard my best friend laughed behind me.
The chorus was up and I glared before doing it. My rival got irritated but realized that I'm dancing better than her and got different style but perfectly copied the dancer's move in the video game. It's time for the sunny skip and the girl was pretty surprised and became curious.
"Are you a dancer?" Lil T asked inquisitively and I looked at her and smiled politely.
"Yes… yes I am, and my mentor is a young protégé of his mentor." I said and little T blushed and felt bashful about looking down to me.
"Oh God… this is the dizzy part one…." I said with a smirk and breathed deeply afterwards.
'I whip my-' the song stopped and I won in the end. I reached my hands to the girl but she didn't reach back. I raise my brow and looked at my best friend who was giving me a sweet grin.
"Mind if I challenge you?" I asked him and he glared and walked closer to me.
"Psh…. Why not?" he said and laughed. I grabbed Glitch's comb in his pocket and brushed my bad hair but it's back in shape in no time and I put his comb back in his pocket.
"Song?" Glitch asked and I gave him bright smile and he glared with a grin. "Any, I got it…" he said.
I laughed and he picked sexy chick and my lips curled into a smile. My best friend looked at me and I glanced back.
"Head in the game Glitch… If you don't want to be defeated by a girl."
The Asian boy blushed and looked at the T.V screen and at the end he won and I gave him an angry face when he's mocking me about my defeat.
"Ha! I won, I won!" He shouted with a weird laugh and I just stood there while watching Mo and Layla playing.
It's already eleven in the evening so Mo gave both of us a drive home using his friend's car. While I and Glitch sat in the back seat, I fell asleep and I leaned on my best friend's shoulders. I got home and Glitch didn't want to wake me up; so he carried me gently and I didn't realize that I wrapped my arms around his neck as he sent me to my room and laid me down properly.
"Thanks dear…" my mother said when my best friend put me in bed.
"No worries Pat…" he said as he brushed my hair and went downstairs and said goodbye to her and went straight back home.
Glitch was already done changing and he lie on his bed while looking through his phone and saw some of my videos that he recorded earlier and played it.
He laughed when he saw my irritated face when I lost. He grinned when he watched the video when all of us ate. I was looking through the window and when I turned to him, I covered my bashful face.
He didn't noticed that he fell asleep while the video was playing repetitively and his mom entered his room when she heard someone talking and realized it's just a record.
Her mom took his phone and looked. She grinned when she saw Glitch was having a great time with me. She kissed his son's forehead and turned on his night light as she turned his light off and closed the door gently.
