Chapter 11
When Opal got home, she immediately went to her dad, and told him about the dance. "You're on the dance committee, good for you sweetie." said Mr. Lancaster. "Thanks, Dad. And I was wondering do you think you could supply the treats for the event?" asked Opal.
"Well, I can't say no to that. Just take a menu, and let me know how many of each thing you want." Opal took a menu, then went upstairs to the apartment. Up in her room, she was doing her homework, while Zha Zha was sitting on her lap.
"And that's the last of it. Okay, Zha Zha, you gotta get up now." said Opal. The kitten opened her eyes, and jumped off her owner's lap. Opal got up, and lied on her bed, she was still thinking about the dance, and Cole.
"Well I am his friend, maybe he would want to go with me. But then again there are tons of other girls who are more fit to be his date. Why must high school be so complicated?" she said to herself, tossing her pillow over her face.
"Opal, dinner." called Mrs. Lancaster. She got up, and Zha Zha followed her to the kitchen. After filling Zha Zha's bowl, Opal sat down at the dinner table. "So how is it on the dance committee, honey?" Asked Mrs. Lancaster.
"It's pretty cool. The theme's gonna be Alice in Wonderland." Opal answered. "That sounds like fun." Said Mr. Lancaster. "Yeah it'll be fun." "And I'll be there watching." Said Mrs. Lancaster. "What?" Asked Opal, confused.
"I sighed up to be a parent chaperone. And the school thought it would be a good idea to have a nurse there." Mrs. Lancaster explained. "Oh great." Opal said in her mind. First she had to worry about asking Cole to the dance, now she had to worry about her mom embarrassing her.
The next day at school, Opal showed her friends the menu. "I think we should have these chocolate chip cookies." Said Kai, circling it on the menu. "We should definitely have brownies." Added Jay.
"And as an extra let's throw in some mini eclairs." Said Nya. "Great, and about four dozen of each should be enough." Said Skylor. "I can already taste the treats." Said Cole. "Thanks for giving us hook up, Opal." Said Zane.
"No problem. Just as a heads up my mom's gonna be a chaperone for the dance." She said. "That's cool." Said Skylor. "I just hope she doesn't embarrass me." Said Opal. "I've been there. My parents chaperoned the dance last year." Said Jay.
"(Chuckles) yeah, when the dance music started, they showed off their moves." Cole told Opal. Opal giggled, as Jay blushed. "If it makes you feel any better, Opal my mom volunteered to be a chaperone too." Said Lloyd.
"Thanks, Lloyd that helps." "So are you gonna get a date for the dance Opal?" Asked Pixal. Opal's face turned slightly red. Luckily the bell rang, alerting students that it was time for classes to start.
"Saved by the bell." Opal whispered.
School went on as usual, and when it let out Opal left with her mom. "Now I just have a quick stop to make before heading home." Said Mrs. Lancaster. "Okay, Mom." Opal replied. They drove down road, and stopped in front of a tea shop.
They got out of the car, and walked inside. "Now your father asked me to pick up some green tea. Now where is it?" Said Mrs. Lancaster. As her mom looked for the tea, Opal thought about the dance and Cole.
"Maybe I should just forget about it." She said to herself. "You shouldn't step out of battle before you even strike." Said a mysterious voice. Opal looked up, and saw Master Wu standing behind the counter.
"Oh, Master Wu. Hello." Said Opal. "Hello Opal, nice to you again. Is something troubling you?" Asked Wu. "I don't want to bother you with teenage girl problems." Said Opal. "I'm a old man, I've heard tons of problems, and I've also provided advice." Wu told her.
Opal looked at him, and saw he looked sincere at wanting to hear her problem. "Well, Master Wu I have this thing for Cole, and I want to ask him to the dance. But I don't think he'd want to go with me." Opal explained.
"And why not?" Asked Wu. "Because I'm just a wallflower he's the Earth Ninja and one of the most popular guys at school. Guys like that usually go out with cheerleaders, queen bees, and other popular girls." She answered.
"Well Opal, here's what I see. I see a kind, bright, beautiful, sensitive young lady. Who's just as good as any popular girl." He told her. Opal smiled, if that's who she truly was then she did have a chance.
"Opal, I found the tea." Said Mrs. Lancaster coming over. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Lancaster." Wu greeted. "Oh, Master Wu hello. You shop here?" Asked Mrs. Lancaster. "I happen to own this place." Wu replied.
"Really?" Asked Opal, surprised. "Hey, an old master's gotta make a living." Wu replied. Opal and her mom chuckled at that. Mrs. Lancaster paid for the tea, and the two left. "Have a nice day, ladies. And remember what I said, Opal." Said Wu to them.
"Thanks, Master Wu." Said Opal. They got to the car, and drove back home.
Up in her room, Opal was talking to Zha Zha. "Master Wu said himself I'm just as good as any popular girl. So I'm going to ask Cole to be my date." Said Opal. Zha Zha just meowed, and then there was a knock at her door.
"Come in." she said. Her mom peered into the room. "Hey, sweetie. I was just wondering what were you thanking Master Wu for?" asked Mrs. Lancaster. "Oh, he was just giving me some advice. To...asking Cole to the dance." Opal told her mother.
"Aw Opal, that's so sweet." said Mrs. Lancaster, hugging her daughter. "Uh, yeah, but can you do me a favor and not tell dad just yet?" said Opal. "Why?" asked Mrs. Lancaster. "Well it may just be me, but I don't think he's gonna take the idea of his only daughter asking a guy out very well." Opal explained.
"Well, I'll let you tell him when you're ready." said Mrs. Lancaster. Opal smiled. "Thanks, Mom."
