Part VIII
[8 PM, Saturday, at the dance.]
Tallie left her house, all dressed up. She didn't know how to impress a guy so she just put on some decent clothes that matched. But at least she tried.she was feeling absolutely the best in the whole world that evening. She arrived at school on time, right when it about to begin, she met John and they went in to the gym. She had no idea what wrestling was all about because she had never seen them wrestle before. They were on the floor now, an opportunity for her to see what John was talking about. But for some reason, her attention kept on shifting to Sky who was wrestling first. It seemed like Sky put his whole soul into it. Tallie was seeing a whole new side of naughty boy Skyler Dane. But then again, she thought about what that bastard did to her few days ago. He stole her first kiss ever! She wanted to receive it from a handsome, fine, tall guy of her dreams when she grew up. Not some short monster that used to beat her up all the time. She got angry all over again, and resumed her attention back to John and others, trying to ignore Sky as much as possible.
After they were done, people cheered. Tallie herself was amazed as well. John came out of the locker room and came up to her. "Sooo.what did you think?" John scratched his head, asking shyly. "J, you guys were so awesome! I had no idea.I guess all those hours of practicing really paid off!" "Naw, we still have a long way to go. This is a secret but." John leaned closer to her and whispered, "We contacted Vince McMahon from the WWE." "Wow, for real?" Tallie was astonished. "We didn't got the call back yet, but I hope it all works out all right. Gosh, I'm so thirsty!" John was sweating like crazy. At that moment, he finally noticed that Tallie was nicely dressed, with a blue flare skirt and white shirt. It was simple but cute. "Oh, I forgot to say this. You look.real nice today." John noticed that his heart was beating fast. "Thank you. Did you say you were thirsty? I'll go get something to drink if you want." offered Tallie. "Sure, I'll be over there talking to the guys. Thanks!" John smiled and walked away. That heart pounding moment disappeared. He knew inside that he shouldn't feel like that.
Meanwhile, Melissa and Sky were standing in the line for food. Sky was trying to find John and the others but they took off right away! Darn it, now I'm stuck with her alone, he thought. "Sky, you were so awesome up there," complimented Melissa. "Oh, thank you," replied Skyler. "Can you excuse me for a sec? I must go talk to a friend of mine over there," Melissa requested. "Oh, yeah. Sure, go right ahead. Take your time!" Sky was now content that he got rid of her for a moment. Just then he saw Tallie standing in the line next to his, for the sodas. She must have noticed him too, for she turned around and their eyes met. Sky's face turned bright red, not knowing what to say. They both felt very awkward. They haven't talked to each other since that incident. 'I have to apologize to her,' he thought. Tallie was blushing as she saw Skyler but she tried not to make it noticeable. She turned away as the line moved up. 'God, she must really be mad at me, I'm not surprised.' Sky was caught in a desperate desire to apologize, but he didn't know how. Too late, she had gotten out of the line with her drink already.
John and Tallie were talking about many things as John was trying to finish the drink. Tallie was glad that she came; it's been quite some years since they had a "real" conversation. Right when he finished his drink, a slow song came on, one by Trace Adkins. "Perhaps you'd like to dance wit me?" John offered her his hand. "Sure." Tallie held his hand and moved closer to him.
"Sky, would you like to dance?" asked Melissa. 'No way,' thought Sky, but dared not to say so. "Sure why not." Sky pulled Melissa towards him and got in a slow dance position. He looked around, trying not to meet her eyes. He spotted Tallie dancing with John at that moment; he couldn't help but to keep staring at them two. She looked so happy in John's arms. He thought about how he could make Tallie as happy, but it seemed that everything he did to her was wrong and bad. "Umm.will you go out wit me?" Sky was thinking too hard that he didn't even realize Melissa was talking to him. "Yeah.what, what?" Sky shifted his attention back to his own girl in his arms. "I said would you go out wit me?" Melissa felt uncomfortable about having to repeat the same line. Sky knew that this was going too far, and that he had to turn her down then. He carefully thought out a line, and replied, "No, I'm already taken." "By who?" surprised, Melissa inquired, "is it Tallie Anderson?" Sky felt like saying yes, but he knew he shouldn't. "No, it's not Tallie," he said, "Rather, it's someone else. She's very pretty and I see her everyday.in my dreams. But I can't touch her. She's too far away. I only think about her. Melissa, you're a very nice girl and I'm sure you can find someone else more compatible to you. You don't deserve a loser like me." Skyler was imagining Tallie in his mind. "Okay, I guess," said Melissa, "Well, the song's over. I had a great day. Thanks for everything!" Melissa smiled and walked away. Skyler stared at her back for a few seconds, then quietly murmured to himself, "Yes, it's Tallie. She's the angel in my dreams."
