Thanks for reviewing!
Ren saw Twitty sitting on her front porch, looking disappointed. Ren realized what had happened with Louis.
"No luck with Louis?"
"No. He told me to get out. Same thing with Tawny?"
"Yeah. She told me to get out too. I swear, Louis and Tawny want to be miserable or something! They won't listen to a word we say!"
"Who knows, Ren? Maybe those two aren't meant to be."
"Not meant to be? Louis and Tawny? No. They're just being stubborn," Ren answered. All of a sudden, an idea popped into her head. "I have it! We have to get them both to go to the dance! You make sure Louis goes, and I'll make sure Tawny goes. It will work perfectly!"
"I dunno. Are you sure Ren?"
"I'm positive! The music, the dim lighting, it will all work wonders for Louis and Tawny. They'll be back together before the end of it, I'm sure."
************************************************************************
The next morning at school, Louis was feeling even more miserable then before. He'd had a dream the night before where he and Tawny were still going out, and he'd woken up feeling happy to realize it wasn't real. The dream had put him in an even worse mood.
Twitty noticed Louis's unhappiness the second he saw him standing outside. "Hey, Lou! You know what sounds really fun? The dance this Friday. I think we should both go. We'd have a great time!"
"No, Twitty. I don't want to go to the dance. I think I'll sit at home on Friday and watch TV or something. I really am in no mood to go to any dance."
"It'd be good for you to go to the dance, Louis. Just think about it, ok? You don't have to go, I just think you should because it would probably be good for you." Twitty saw Tawny walking toward him and Louis. "Oh, I just remembered! I have a science quiz to make up! See ya!" Twitty ran away as fast as he could. Ren had told him that maybe if they left Louis and Tawny together alone something might click, and they could get back together. No one was around outside today; everyone had gone in already, so maybe…
"Hi, Louis," Tawny said quietly.
"Hi, Tawny," Louis mumbled in response. "What'd you have for breakfast this morning?"
"I wasn't hungry."
"Oh. I didn't eat either." 'Tawny didn't eat breakfast? Maybe that's a good sign!'
"Oh."
"So, um, want to sit together at lunch?"
"Louis, I always sit next to you and Twitty. When have I ever not?"
"Oh yeah! Sorry. I'm a little forgetful today! Oops! My memory's slipping a little."
"Yeah." 'Is it just me or is Louis really nervous?'
"Well, um, Tawny, are you going to the dance Friday?"
'Is that why he's been so jumpy?' "Um, I don't know yet. I think so, but I haven't decided. I'm not too sure if I want to go or not. Are you?"
"I think so. Maybe we'll see each other there." 'Why not just ask her out? Honestly! Maybe we'll see each other there. I sound so stupid!'
"Maybe."
The bell began dinging.
"Oh, there's the bell."
"Yeah. We should get to class."
"We should."
"Or else we'll be late."
"We don't want that."
"No, not at all."
Louis and Tawny couldn't force themselves to leave; they just kept staring at each other. They kept talking too.
"Hey, you two! Get to class now!" a teacher called. Her shout broke Louis and Tawny's stares.
************************************************************************
"Lunch! Finally!" Twitty said. He sat down with a full tray loaded up with a burger, fries, and a soda. He noticed Louis and Tawny next to him, picking at their trays with barely anything on it. 'Man, we need to get those two back together now!'
"Yeah, lunch. Woohoo," Louis answered sarcastically.
"Louis, you going to eat those chips?" Twitty asked. As long as Louis wasn't eating, he could take advantage of it. Sure, he knew it wouldn't last; he and Ren were formulating a plan to get Louis and Tawny together. But as long as Louis wasn't eating, and Tawny wasn't either…
"Tawny, you want those cookies?"
"No, you can have them, Twitty."
"Excellent!"
Ren walked by right then, and flashed Twitty a glare. He realized he better start working. "So, you know that social studies assignment? The one where we have to pick partners? Who are you two going to pick?"
"I dunno," they both responded.
"Well, I figured I'd work with Tom," Twitty said.
"Tom? Twitty, now I have no one to work with!" Louis hissed angrily.
"You can work with Tawny, Lou."
"Ok. Tawny, you want to work together?"
"Sure, Louis."
"Well, that works out fine now!" Twitty exclaimed.
Ren nodded at him from the table next to theirs and started to pretend to applaud.
************************************************************************
Tawny was lying on her couch, feeling thoroughly unhappy. This whole thing with Louis was making her depressed. Her parents had noticed and had asked her about it, but she had lied and said everything was great. She heard her doorbell, and knew it was Ren, probably wanting to talk about Louis. She frowned and went to answer the door.
"Hi, Ren."
"Hey, Tawny! Are you going to the dance on Friday?"
"I have no idea."
"You should! It's going to be lots of fun! You'd have a great time if you went!"
"I'll think about going."
"Well, if you do go, remember, it is a formal dance!"
"Formal? As in, dresses and nice shoes?"
"Yeah. That's the only bad part. Otherwise the dance will be awesome! There's going to be a contest, and there will be refreshments. Think about going, Tawny. You'll have a really good time!"
"I suppose. Well, Ren, I have some homework I have to go get to, so bye."
"Bye, Tawny!" Ren said as the door shut.
'Well, hopefully it worked.'
Ren saw Twitty sitting on her front porch, looking disappointed. Ren realized what had happened with Louis.
