Finding Each Other
Chapter 4: Wanna Dance
It was 3 more days until the dance and Nikkie still didn't have a date yet. But one thing that made her forget about it was her birthday. Nikkie was turning 16. On her birthday when she went to school she found her locker covered in silly string and banners and all of her friends signed the banners.
Nikkie walked up to her locker in dark blue jeans, a pink shirt that said stop staring, and her favorite jean jacket and boots. Nikkie dug through the decorations and opened her locker and pulled out three notebooks. When she looked to the side she saw Emma, Manny and J.T. walking up to her.
"Hey Nikkie, Happy Birthday!!!" Manny said
Nikkie smiled and J.T. went to his knees and grabbed Nikkie's hand and kissed it saying "Happy Birthday, and pleasant days" Nikkie raised her eyebrows and said "Thanks J.T" in an awkward tone.
"So, are you going to the dance" Emma asked Nikkie
"I'm not sure yet, I might end up staying home with my sisters" Nikkie replied
"Oh well that's cool" Manny said
"So who are you guys going with" Nikkie asked them
"Sean asked me yesterday, I mean of course he asked we've been together for a while" Emma answered
"I'm still going solo" Manny answered
Then J.T. spoke up and said "That brings me to my point girls,..Manny wanna come with me to the dance, I mean were both single for the dance and..., Manny interrupted him and said " I'd like that J.T.
J.T. smiled in excitement and so did Manny. Nikkie and Emma looked at each other in shocked looks and laughed.
"That was sweet" Nikkie said
"Yeah J.T. who would of thought you would of ended up with Manny" Emma said
They all laughed and started walking down the hall. Then Nikkie saw Craig at her locker and ran ahead of them and said " see you guys later"
"Hey Craig" Nikkie said
" Hey Nikkie whats up" Craig asked
"Nothing really" Nikkie said in a tone like that she was upset he forgot her birthday
"Oh yeah, you really think I'd forget" Craig said sarcastically and handed her a birthday card
"Thanks Craig" Nikkie said laughing she gave him and big hug and a kiss on the cheek, leaving Craig with a blush. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile Jimmy had been staring at their friendly hug.
" So Jimmy thinking about asking Nikkie to the dance, coz if not give me the shot" Spinner said
" Nah, I think she id going with Craig" Jimmy said
"AAAAWWW, cheer up" Spinner said sympathetically putting his hand on Jimmy's shoulder
Jimmy shrugged his shoulder making Spinner's hand fly off. Paige appeared and went up to Spinner.
"Hey guys, um..Spinner pick me up at 7:00 on Friday for the dance, ok" Paige said and walked away to Nikkie to say Happy Bithday
"Oh, give me a shot" Jimmy mimicked Spinner " I thought you didn't have a date"
"Hey I was playing around plus Paige is my girlfriend, I would'nt do that, but Nikkie is still looking good, you should try asking or at least say Happy Birthday to her" Spinner said walking away toward Nikkie. Jimmy didn't know what to do, but he knew he should at least get the guts to say Happy Birthday. So when it was just Craig and Nikkie standing there, he went up to her.
"Hey Nikkie Happy Birthday" Jimmy said nervously
"Oh yeah ..um wanna come over this afternoon..my mom and dad are like having a little party for me and I was hoping you would come" Nikkie said.
"Yeah sure I'll be there" Jimmy said he smiled and walked away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emma, Manny, J.t. Toby, Sean, Ashley, Terri, Spinner, Marco, Jimmy, Paige and Hazel where at her house. Nikkie opened her presents and got a lot of stuff. A few CD's from her friends two shirts from Hazel and Paige (Of Course), a few birthday cards, and J.T. gave her a box full of hershey kisses with a note saying "Trade me back with real kisses". This note made her laugh. And she got a few other things. When she went into the kitchen to get some soda. Craig had just walked in apologizing for being a little late. Nikkie was leaning against the kitchen counter sipping on a can of Coke.
"So, this is a nice little party" Craig said
"Yeah, it was my parents idea" Nikkie said
" Well Happy Birthday" Craig said handing her a small brown paper shopping bag.
"Craig, thanks what is it" she asked
"Open it and find out" Craig insisted
Nikkie opened to bag and pulled out a black tiny box. She looked up at Craig with a surprised look and then back at the box. She opened the box and to her surprise it was her favorite thing. Turquoise jewelry. It was a silver and turquoise necklace.
"Craig I can't take this, its too much" Nikkie said
"No, its not....just take it as a way of me asking you to the dance on Friday. Nikkie looked at him and smiled at him. "So how about Nikkie" Craig asked. "Yeah Craig, I'd love to" Nikkie said and gave Craig a hug and a thank you for the necklace.
The whole entire time Jimmy had been looking for her and he had been watching them. He had her birthday present which was a medium but rather large sized white teddy bear with a red heart shaped nose and red scarf around the neck with and birthday card, telling her how he felt about her. He had been holding right up but when he saw them hug he dropped his arm hanging the bear down by an arm. He was so upset. He left the house upset walking quickly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paige, Emma, and Manny were at Nikkie's house upstairs in her room getting ready for their dates. Paige came into the room from the bathroom getting dressed. She came out in a long black shirt with a light purple tank top/turtle neck, and light greyish, purplish heels, and her hair tied up in a bun with tiny little curls coming out.
"Wow, Paige you look great" Manny said
"Thanks, you look great too, oh yeah and no hard feeling for the name calling right" Paige said
"Not at all" Emma said
Manny was wearing a red skirt and a white tank top, with black flat heels and her hair tied up in a ponytail. Emma was wearing a black dress with flat shoes and her hair in a ponytail with braids coming out. Nikkie left the room to get dressed. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Nikkie yelled out from the bathroom "CAN YOU GUYS OPEN THE DOOR, I'M NOT READY YET". Paige, Emma, and Manny ran downstairs knowing it was their dates. Paige fixed up her hair and opened the door. There stood Sean, Spinner, and Spinner. Behind them was Craig.
"Paige, you look great" Spinner said
"Not so bad yourself, Spin. Come in guys" Paige said
Everyone came in and stood in the living room. J.T and Manny were talking and Paige and Spinner were talking and Sean and Emma were talking to each other.
"Hey Emma, where's Nikkie" Craig asked "Turn around" Emma said
He turned around to find Nikkie standing right behind him wearing a dark blue mini skirt, a black fat strapped tank top that had a letter N in rhinestones, a pair of back flip flops, and hair was straightened out into a ponytail with two pieces coming out in front. She was even wearing the necklace he had given her.
"Nikkie..you look...great" Craig stuttered
"Thanks" Nikkie replied
"Nikkie you look awesome that skirt is very pretty" Paige said.
When they arrived at the dance everyone was there. Ellie with Marco, Terri with a very sweet guy, and just everyone was there.
J.T. and Manny started dancing to this slow but nice song.
"J.T. I'm glad you asked me because if it weren't for you I'd probably be sitting down, watching TV." Manny said
"And I'm glad you said yes because I liked you for a while and I." J.T. was interrupted with the kiss Manny gave him on the lips and he was stunned. When she pulled back she looked at him and kissed him on the cheek and leaned her head on his shoulder and kept on dancing.
Emma and Sean were in the hallways talking and of course doing what all the other couples were doing on Valentines Day.
Paige and Spinner were also dancing and were whispering little thing into each others ears.
Craig and Nikkie were sitting down and staring at everyone dancing.
"Want something to drink Nikkie" Craig asked
"No, you asked me that 4 times already" Nikkie said
"Oh yeah I did" Craig said
"Craig you wanna dance" Nikkie asked
"Yeah, sure, ok" Craig said
Nikkie pulled Craig to the dance floor and put her arms around Craig's neck and his arms on her waist. They danced for a while until the song had stopped. Craig pulled Nikkie into the hallway for a talk. They sat on a bench far down the hallway where it was empty.
"Craig it was sweet of you to take me to the dance but why aren't we going to stay in there" Nikkie questioned''
"Because I want to talk to you" Craig said
"Ok were talking" Nikkie said
"Look Nikkie, I've liked you for a while now and I thought we wouldn't make it as far as the V-day dance. And I really thought you came with me for reasons of you liking and I see that..." Craig was interrupted because Nikkie put her finger on his lips.
"Craig, I liked you too, but now its only as a friend. and I hope you don't take it personally. I mean I like you but as very well trusted friend. I mean who knows what will happen in the future but for now...it will stay like this. And I will only do this once Craig ok so." Nikkie closed her eyes and kissed Craig on the lips. Craig pulled back and opened his eyes.
"Ok, so lets finish up this dance and have fun" Nikkie said
She got up and walked and turned around realizing Craig wasn't following her "Come on Craig" Nikkie said. He got up and grabbed her hand and went inside. The whole time Spinner had been in the hallways and saw everything.
Spinner ran into the gym and saw Jimmy sitting by himself.
"Dude, I thought you weren't coming" Spinner said
"Nah , I was bored so I came" Jimmy said
"I have to talk to you" Spinner said seriously
"What" Jimmy asked
"Um...Craig and Nikkie...kissing. I saw them. Sorry dude" Spinner said
"Figures, I was looking for her" Jimmy said calmly
"Your taking this better than I expected" Spinner said
All of a sudden Hazel was on stage announcing the Couples dance. Spinner looked at Jimmy and said "I've gotta find Paige see you later"
"Yeah" Jimmy said
Nikkie was sitting down alone. Jimmy was wondering where Craig could be. He looked in the dance floor and saw Craig dancing with Ashley. He looked back at Nikkie whose elbows where on her knees and her chin in her palms, looking down at the floor. Jimmy worked up the courage to go up to her and ask her to dance.
He stood in front of her. "Nikkie, where's Craig" jimmy asked
Nikkie looked up and said "With Ashley, what you thought we were.....No, were just friends"
"Oh because Spinner said you guys...never mind" Jimmy said
"We what" Nikkie asked
"Nothing...um do you wanna dance" Jimmy asked her
"But we aren't a couple, I mean it is a couple's dance" Nikkie said
"Well just pretend it wont hurt right" Jimmy said
She got up and grabbed his hands and followed him to the dance floor. Her favorite song was playing which was "U got it bad, by Usher" She put her hands around his neck and his hands wrapped her waist. All of a sudden a loud noise interrupted the dance. It was Kayla. She busted the gym doors open. She yelled out Nikkie's name.
"Mom" Nikkie yelled standing next to Jimmy
"Nikkie come we have got to go" Kayla yelled
"What..why ...what's going on" Nikkie cried out
"Your dad, he had a heart attack, come on we have got to go now" Kayla said
Nikkie grabbed Jimmy's hand and said "Ill call you later" and she left. And said sorry for not being able to have the dance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` In the car Kayla was driving crazy. She was to worried and upset. When all of a sudden when she got on the highway big and unexpected problem occurred.
