A/N: I don't own anything, except my ideas.
I have been updating a lot these first two days. I just can't get enough of
this story. I know some of you might not like it because it has nothing to
do with the band playing music. Well that is going to change. Also! Thank
you for your Reviews. In reply to nanners-77, I know that this 13-year-old
thing is a little out there, but I do have friends who do masturbate and
change in front of each other. That is where I got it. And as for the
paragraphs I know about the new paragraph every time someone new talks but
I didn't want to for a couple reasons, 1) it would make it longer page
wise, 2) I was just to lazy, but after this chapter I will start doing
that. (This was written before I got the review).
This chapter takes place on the Saturday before the pool party.
The 'roadies' were setting up the mics and amps for the bands show. The band was going to be playing at the Middle School's dance. It was their first show in over 3 months. "Leo, man. Gimme a mic right here, this is where I'm going to be SINGING." Dewey emphasized. Leonard ran off the stage, even though he wasn't a roadie, to the storage room and got a mic. On his way back he overheard Tomika and Alicia talking. "I like Freddy, but we don't hang out a lot." Leonard peeked his head inside the classroom door a little more. "So you like Leo more?" Tomika asked. Leonard's eyes lit up. "Yeah, and I was just telling you because I knew you had a crush on him a while back." Tomika put her hand on Alicia's shoulder. "Thanks," she paused. "I appreciate that but I don't like him anymore. You should ask him out." Leonard's eyes opened even wider. He has had a secret crush on Alicia for along time. No one knew except for Marco, his best friend. The two girls started leaving the class so Leonard started leaving to. "Hey! Leo, wait up." Alicia said as her and Tomika tried to catch up. He thought that she was going to ask him out but she only wanted to walk with him. They walked onto the stage it was almost time for the dance to start.
The gym was packed and no one was on stage. Dewey then walked out. There was an uproar when he came on stage. The band has become quite popular ever since the battle of the bands a yearish ago. "All right boys and girls!" he said as the crowd screamed. "Get ready to learn from the School of Rock." The three back-up singers came on stage. All dressed in black dresses. Next came Lawrence, in black pants a white shirt and black vest. Then came in Katie the bassist, in black pants with white stripes and a white dress shirt. Next came Freddy, the drummer, in white pants and a white shirt. Next came out Zack, in a black suit. He came out playing the new song, "Gotta Be Me" He shredded on guitar then Dewey kicked in. Katie then played a melodies riff, and Freddy kicked in the drums.
They played the next hour and a half magically. They closed their set with there usual; 'School of Rock.' The place went crazy when they played it. After they were done there was a tape playing so that the band can enjoy the last 30 minutes of the dance. "Alicia." Someone said tapping on her shoulder. She turned around to see Leonard. "Wanna dance?" he asked. "Ok." She replied. They went onto the dance floor and started dancing. Freddy asked Michelle to dance and Summer asked Lawrence to dance, since everyone was paired up. The last 'grouping' to be 'paired' was Zack and Katie. "Uh Katie," Zack started nervously, he had a crush on her. "Wanna dance?" He gulped. "Of coarse." She replied cheerfully. He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Just when they got on a slow song started. Just Zack's luck. She leaned in closer he felt her breast rub against his chest. He liked that a lot. As they were dancing he looked deep into her eyes. They got very romantic, their cheeks rubbed up against each other's. Later she put her head on his shoulder and he smelt her hair. "It smells like coconut." He said inhaling. H He loved the way she smelt. The song ended. Katie looked up and thought, "To bad it had to end, I was wishing that song never ended." Luckily for her 2 songs later, another slow song came on. "Oh this song is so pretty." She said to him. He smiled back. They went on dancing like they were the only two in the gym. Katie then realized that she liked Zack, again.
"I'll walk you home." Offered Zack as they left the gym. Katie, Zack, Michelle, Eleni and Freddy were walking home when Michelle said, "That was magical." Then Eleni added, "I know it was so pretty." Freddy looked disgusted, "It was just a dance." He said looking at Eleni, noticing how pretty she looked that night. He has had a difficult time with the girls. He has liked every one. He most liked Eleni, Michelle and Alicia, but after tonight Alicia seemed out of the picture since she looked so happy with Leonard. "I think Leo and Alicia should go out don't you guy?" he asked. Zack looked at him funny, it was a weird thing for a guy to say. "Yeah totally." Katie said agreeing. "It's weird." Eleni said. Michelle asked, "What is?" Eleni took a long pause before saying, "That someone in the group might actually be a couple." Katie chuckled, "Really I think that there are, like, 3 couples that would be perfect." She added, "But I'm not saying, I don't wanna jinx them." The rest of the group laughed at here superstition. "I hoped she thinks we would make a good couple." Zack thought to himself. They passed by Michelle's house so they were one less person short. Soon later Freddy and Eleni were in their houses. Katie and Zack were walking home. "Nice night out tonight huh?" Zack said nothing the clear sky. Katie looked up, "Yeah it's very beautiful." Looking at Katie's deep chocolate hair Zack mumbled, "So are you." Katie looked at him startled, "What Zack?" Zack quickly recovered by saying, "I said, 'You're so right'." She didn't believe him. They were right outside her house, and she gave him a hug. "Goodnight see you tomorrow maybe?" she questioned. "Yeah maybe." He hoped. She walked into her door; Zack was left to walk home alone.
"Why didn't I just say I thought she looked beautiful?" He thought aloud. He walked home in disappointment. "I wonder if she likes me?" he asked himself as he replayed the night. He loved how she felt in his arms when they danced. He started kicking a rock, still thinking about Katie, he didn't even realize he was in his house. "I wonder what Katie is doing?" he thought.
A/N: cut back to when Katie walked into her house.
She closed the door behind her a leaned on it, biting her bottom lip. "This night was so romantic." She squealed. She started walking to her room with a glazed look on her face. "Hey honey, how was the dance?" her father asked her. She didn't even notice him. "Katie how was the dance?" he said a little louder. She snapped out of her trance. "Oh it was perfect." She kept walking to her room. She took off her top and pants and looked for her pajamas. She was standing there in her black panties and white bra when her mom knocked on her door. "Katie can I come in?" She scrambled through her drawer, "Hold on, I'm changing." She yelled back. She took off her bra exposing her brown nipples and she put on her tiger print pajamas. "Ok come in," she said.
Her mom walked in the door and sat on Katie's bed. "So wanna tell me how the dance was?" Linda pushed. Katie sat on the bed in excitement. "It was SO romantic. After we got done with our set Zack asked me to dance. When we got on the floor it was a slow dance." She started. Linda added, "That's so wonderful." Katie went on with her story, "Then we were walking home and we said how beautiful the night was, and I thought I heard him say so was I. But I'm not sure." Linda put an arm around Katie, "Sounds like you had a perfect night." Katie smiled, "Almost, if he asked me out then it would have been perfect." Linda looked down at Katie, "I'm glad we can talk like this, I remember when I was our age I never talked to my mother about boys. So, are you going to ask him out?" Katie shrugged. "I don't know. I don't think I'm ready yet, but if he asks me out I'll say yes. But if he doesn't I'll wait until I'm ready." "Good for you." Her mom said as she got up and was leaving and then Katie added, "Or in two weeks, whatever comes first." Her mother laughed.
That night both Katie and Zack dreamt about each other.
