Author's note: thank you to those of you who've have submitted reviews. It's good to know I'm on the write track and rest assured Misty will get what's coming to her.
Also, I wanted to say that this story is actually not being mapped out; whatever comes to mind is what I write down. It's nice to see that it makes sense to someone other than me. "Smile"
Chapter 8 Afterwards
Kendrix could only stare at Leo, the rest of the dining hall ceasing to exist. Did Leo just kiss her? Did her lips tingle and her hart race?
"I think," He began trying to catch his breath. TRUE he'd not kissed anyone but was his heart supposed to be racing as if he'd run a marathon? Should his lips burn like this?
Man, what was he thinking he was a boy...
Misty was fuming, her blue eyes shooting ice at the pair. How could that have happened? Worm was so scrawny, so wimpy, why would he want to kiss have
"CARE to take back that bet?" Ashley asked and Misty looked over at her friend.
"Not on your life. I will get him to ask me to the dance." She snarled and then plastered a pleasant smile on her face. Oh yes she thought, she'd get exactly what she wanted, just like always. A wicked smile crossed her face.

"I um..." Kendrix looked at her plate and suddenly dove in. What else could she do? Lao, her only friend had just kissed her. She still couldn't believe it. He still hadn't said much was just looking at her. What did he think she would turn into a toad? A little giggle escaped her lips and he looked at her in question.
"Sorry, I was just thinking."
"Oh, what about?"
"Toads." She giggled after and his puzzlement deepened.
"Ok, what about toads?"
"I'm a toad." She was no longer giggling but really and truly laughing. He felt a little smile crossing her face.
"Ok, um have you lost it?"
"The frog prince but I'm a princess." She replied.
"Oh, well I..." Then he too was laughing. Heavens he loved how her mind worked. He'd kissed her, so she'd started thinking of the frog prince, changed herself into the frog. He liked how she thought.
"You know Misty's smirking."
"Hmmm, well she won't be fore long. So do you want to go to the dance with me?" He asked and her eyes widened.
"Leo…" She realized then why he'd kissed her and why he was asking and felt as if a lump had just dropped her heart into her shoes. True she understood the reason but it still hurt that he'd not told her the reason first.
"Well, she managed to slightly push back the hurt and smile at him. ""I'd love to!" She squealed loud enough for the whole room to hear and he grinned at both her realization and her acting skills. He was also happy to see Misty's eyes narrow angrily. Yes, this would be fun. Going to a dance with Kendrix wouldn't hurt either. Heavens she was so sweet and funny and… Oh, there he was again waxing poetical again. Ug, he thought, I gotta do something else. He then saw the odd look in her eyes and realized that her ankle must be bugging her.
"Hey, is everything alright?" He asked and she nodded as if not really paying attention and he knew that something was indeed wrong.
"Ok brains, fess up. What's going on in that head of yours?"
"I um, was uh just thinking about…"
"Hey Leo, Kendrix.' The sugary sweet voice said and both looked up to see Misty standing beside there table.
"Misty, now what do you want?" He asked annoyed.
"Nothing, I just heard that you're going to the dance together and I wanted to say I'm glad, you two are perfect for each other." She told them.
"Oh?" Leo asked knowing she was up to something again. Glancing at Kendrix he saw she knew it to. Her blue eyes were narrowed in suspicion.
"Thanks." He said and she nodded saying.
'Kendrix if you'll need help with picking out an outfit or doing your hair I'll be around.' She told her and left with a smile still on her too red lips.
"Ok, what was that all about?" Kendrix asked frowning now?"
"I'm not sure but you better be careful." Leo warned.
"I will." She replied and he nodded and finished his dinner.
