Finally... The Christmas dance
"All the darkness in the world could not put out the light of one small candle."
The day after the dance...
What on Earth have I done?! Did I start a war triangle? In Chemistry...
Hwoarang: Good morning nude boy!
Jin: Not now Hwoarang.
Hwoarang: What's the matter? Can't handle it?
Jin: Leave me alone will ya?
Hwoarang (smiling): Thought so.
Jin: What the fuck do you want ... punk? Use your pikachu against me? Go ahead! Where is it?
Hwoarang: Right here in my fist.
Me (holding Hwoarang's arm): Stop it you two!
Kazuya: Is everything ok here?
Jin (glaring at Hwoarang): Yeah...
Kazuya: Well if it is, why don't we take a little break for education?
Hwoarang (sitting and glaring at the furious Jin): Coughcoughjerkcough.
Jin (glaring at Hwoarang): Coughfreakcough.
I can't bare this fights anymore... Why can't we be friends like the first days? But... This is getting so difficult now that I'm losing my hopes on the three of us... Oh well... Anyway, It happened a lot during the Christmas dance that I don't know where to begin... Good idea, from the beginning! Here we go! The Christmas dance night (It's more like a Winter dance since Christmas is next week... But, well, who am I to judge this?):
I was waiting for Hwoarang to pick me, he was late ten minutes, typical! My mother couldn't stop giggling looking at me.
Me: What?!
Michelle: You look so adorable in that dress!
Me: Mother! It's just a dress!
Michelle: A very cute dress!
It was a shoulder straped long red dress. I must say though that the dress it's gorgeous. Anyway, enough with the dress... HWOARANG was late twenty minutes! Then, he finally arrived.
Me: Where the hell have you been?
Hwoarang: Sorry!
He gave me a red rose! That was so sweet!!!!!! He always gets away with everything...
Hwoarang: Julia! You look splendid!
Me (blushing): Oh... Thank you! You look great too!
At the dance...
Xiaoyu: Julia! Hwoarang! I was worried! For instants I thought you two wouldn't come.
Me: We're here now!
Xiaoyu was wearing a blue dress that ended just above her knees. It looked great on her. Jin was right next to her wearing a tuxedo which made him look really handsome... I can write my opinions! But Hwoarang was more sexy with the two last buttons, of his shirt, undone. Miharu was there too, with Eddy. They seemed to be having a nice time. Well, Miharu didn't stop staring at Steve who was dancing with Christie, but Eddy was really enjoying being with her. The huge gym was full with different colours of the dresses. On the corner of my eye I saw Anna with Lee glaring at me and Hwoarang. What is their problem?! I saw some teachers there too. Jun was with Kazuya, as I could notice they were having a great time dancing. Nina was with Bryan in her arms. Lei Wulong was with a chinese woman who I supposed to be his wife. Craig Marduk was next to a blonde woman! Way to go Marduk! And Heihachi? Oh, he was surronded by women and they were yonger. That Heihachi is a comedy...
Hwoarang: Do you want to dance? Or just sit somewhere?
Me (staring at him): Sit somewhere?! No way! We're gonna dance!
Hwoarang: Are you sure? I mean... The other day... And... Well... You... And...
Me (holding his hand and pulling him): Sheee. Come on!
So there we were! Dancing! The song was a kindda waltz I don't know. But we were dancing perfectly! Xiaoyu is the best of my best friends. I was so happy that moment that I didn't notice Jin and Xiaoyu dancing next to us.
Jin: Julia! You're dancing!
Me: Well... Isn't that a surprise? Jin!
Later on the wonderful night...
Miharu (sitting next to me) she was wearing a long white dress by the way: So, where's Hwoarang?
Me: I don't know. I think he went to the bathroom I didn't understand him! But he will be here soon!
Miharu (trying to find Steve): Oh ok! I don't know where Eddy is too...
Me: Yeah right! Where did you leave him Miharu?
Miharu: What do you mean?
Me: I mean you ran away from him!
Miharu (gasping): Wha- No way!
I just looked at her.
Miharu: Oh... ok! I needed to be away from him a second.
Me: Just admit it! Everybody knows you fancy Steve!
Miharu (in a british accent): Fancy him? Me? I do not! Where did you get such idea?
Me: Gee... I wander where!
Miharu (sighing): Ok... Maybe I fancy him... A little!
Me: A lot!
Miharu: Julia!
Me (giggling): Sorry!
Hwoarang "arrived" seconds later.
Hwoarang: Yo Miharu! Eddy is looking for you!
Miharu (changing looks with me): Really?
Hwoarang: Yeah! What are you girls up to?
Me: Nothing! Oh, have you seen Xiaoyu? I can't find her!
Hwoarang: Last time I saw her, she was with Jin outside.
I got up and headed for the doors, followed by Hwoarang.
Hwoarang: Where are you going?
Me: I need to speak with Xiaoyu!
Hwoarang: Wha- Now?
Me: Yes!
Hwoarang: Tha hell? Why?
Me: Girls talk!
Hwoarang: And you're going to interrupt them?
Me: What could they possibly be doing Hwoarang?
Kissing... I opened the door and saw them kissing outside. I turned very slowly to leave them but Hwoarang came from inside and collapsed with me causing some noise.
Xiaoyu: Julia!
Me (turning at them): I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt you.. I didn't know you two...
Jin (rolling his eyes): It's ok.
Me: I'm really sorry... I just needed to speak with Xiaoyu and I... I'm sorry... I... And... What did you say?
Jin: It's ok!
Me: You're not gonna shoot me?
Jin (laughing): Well... I've felt like shooting you several times, but well... Since we're near Christmas...
Hwoarang: Julia... I think we should go.
Me: Yeah... I'm sorry again. We'll be going now!
Xiaoyu: Wait Julia! I have to go to the bathroom... Will you go with me? Jin, do you mind?
Jin: Not at all.
Me: I'll be right back Hwoarang.
Hwoarang: Why do they have to go in pairs to the bathroom?
We left the boys and went to the bathroom. It was really hot inside.
Xiaoyu: Julia... What you saw was just a kiss and-
Me: You don't have to explain it!
Xiaoyu: Yeah... But... I think I'm in love with him...
Me (stunned): You... What?!
Xiaoyu: That's right! But I'm not sure yet... I've never been in love and I'm a little scared about what may happen if I go on with this feeling.
Me: Xiaoyu... I'm not the right person for you to talk about this...
Xiaoyu: Why? You've been in love. You told us! Maybe you can help me! Plus you're my best friend!
Me (smiling): I know but... my situation was different...
Xiaoyu: Why?
Me: It doesn't matter. Love him? Jin?! Jin Kazama!?
Xiaoyu: I know you hate him-
Me: It's not that I hate him!
Xiaoyu: Yeah right! Anyway... What did you want to tell me?
Me: Me? Oh... I wanted to thank you! For teaching me how to dance! It was really important to me.
Xiaoyu: I'm so glad about you and Hwoarang.
Me: What about me and Howarang?
Xiaoyu: Oh nothing!.... Listen! You heard something?
Me: Something like what? All I can hear is the music.
Xiaoyu: It went like "Paaa" coming from outside.
Me: "Paaa"??
We looked at the wooden door.
Xiaoyu (whispering): Don't tell me it's the boys...
We opened the door suddenly to find Hwoarang and Jin in front of us.
Me: Well?!
Hwoarang: I told you this was wrong!
Jin: What?! Now it's my fault!?
Me: Why am I not surprised?
Xiaoyu: Boys! WHAT DID YOU HEAR?????
Jin: Nothing much really!
Xiaoyu (sighing): Can't we just kill them?
Hwoarang: Oh! First you're in love and now you want to kill-
Jin: Shut up!
Xiaoyu (turning red): SO YOU DIDN'T HEAR??!!!
Me: Oh boy!
Xiaoyu (running away): Aaarrrggghhh!!!!!!
Jin: Was that a good "oh boy"?
Me: I don't think so!
Hwoarang: Ooops!
Jin: You had to open your big mouth!
Hwoarang: I didn't mean to!
Me: Jin?
Jin: Of course not! Now she's mad at me!
Me: Jin?
Hwoarang: I'm sorry!?
Me (yelling): Damn it Jin! Go talk with her!
Jin: But-
Me: NOW!
And the poor guy went to speak with Xioayu.
Hwoarang: Are you mad at me?
Me: A little!
Hwoarang: I didn't mean it! Well... Maybe I meant it... But...
Me: Hwoarang? You are a bad guy!
Hwoarang: Is that good?
Me (sighing): Forget it.
I found Xiaoyu sitting on a bench of the school later on the night. Jin told me to go see her.
Xiaoyu: Julia...
Me: Are you ok?
Xiaoyu: I don't know...
Me (sitting next to her): What happened?
Xiaoyu: I talked with Jin.
Me (staring at her): .......... So?
Xiaoyu: Julia... He... We... He....
Me: Yes?!
Xiaoyu: He asked me to be his girlfriend!
Me: Ha... He did?
Xiaoyu: Yeah...
Me: I'm not sure if I want to hear the answer but why are you with that sad face?
Xiaoyu: Because I'm not sure if that's what I want! Understand?
Me: No!
Xiaoyu: You see... What do you think about him?
Me: Do you really want to know?
Xiaoyu: Better not!
Me: Listen... Do you like him?
Xiaoyu: That's the point! I like him as a friend! I don't know if I'm ready for a serious relationship!
Me: What did you say to him?
Xiaoyu: That I needed time to think.
Me: Then, think about it, ok? I'll leave you now. You do what you think it's best for both of you.
Xiaoyu: Julia... Thank you. I'll think about it!
I went back to the gym. Hwoarang was waiting for me at the entrance.
Hwoarang: Is she ok?
Me: Yeah... She is fine. She just needs some time to herself.
Hwoarang: Everybody is leaving. Should we go now?
Me: If you want to! Where's Jin?
Hwoarang: Inside.
Me: I just need to say something to him. Will you wait for me?
Hwoarang: Of course!
Jin was... drinking orange juice like crazy. Cup after cup. I hesitated a little before talking to him.
Me: Jin?
Jin: What?!
Me: I... just wanted to say that Xiaoyu is more calm now. When you're ready, you go talk with her. Ok? Bye!
Jin: Julia! .... Thanks!
Then, he did it! He looked at me with his sweet mysterious deep brown eyes... He wasn't looking at me with those mad eyes like he used to do. He was looking at me in a gentle way... Oh stop it Julia!
Me: Bye Jin.
Jin: I'll miss you! I mean.. I'll miss our argues!
I just smiled at him... Was that what Jun Kazama was speaking the other day? Are me and Jin gonna be friends again? ............ Naaahhh!
Hwoarang came with me to my house... Well not inside because it was late and he had to go back.
Me: I had a great time tonight. Thank you.
Hwoarang: Yeah me too...
Me: Well... I guess this is a "See you in January"!
Hwoarang: Yeah... Bye then!
Me: Hum, Hwoarang?
He turned to me again and I kissed his cheek. He smiled and left. He is so sweet... Ahem... Once inside I heard a strange noise in my mother's room. I headed for her room very carefuly just to see if she was fine and peeked inside. Well, I could notice she was more than fine! It was dark but I could see them. My mouth opened and I remained stunned looking at that vision. Michelle was sleeping right next to... Baek Doo San! I closed the door slowly. I needed a few screams on the pillow to help me with that shock. I'll just pretend I didn't see them. Who am I trying to fool? I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT I SAW THAT NIGHT!!!!!!!!
Breath Julia breath! Ok... Christmas is at the door and I have to do some shoppings!
I can't believe it! Xiaoyu's mother just called my mother! I'm spending Christmas at Xiaoyu's house! Yay! Yay! So... I guess this is it! What about New Year? I have to speak with my mother. I hope I don't have to spend it with Baek! That would be terrifying!
