Hello all ye people out there! I'm back! (Yes, this is the part where you run away screaming and begging for mercy.) Thankyou to all my reviewers, you are what keeps me posting stuff, otherwise I wouldn't bother! (Btw, the person who said that STLD CH 1 was too simple, how so? And needed more about feelings? What the?)
This fic is belatedly dedicated to Stephanie Kwok, thanks for all your support and suggestions. (I still think you're a maniac ^^)
Gee, I seem to have run out of things to say, so, on with the story!
SAVE THE LAST DANCE CH 2
All the students were sitting outside on the grass in small groups, talking amongst themselves.
"Hey guys! Over here!"
TK and Kari turned in the direction of the voice, and spotted a frantically waving Yolei, sitting with a group of their friends. "Hey," TK responded, as he and Kari reached the group and seated themselves.
"So," Yolei began. "Who are you guys planning to ask to dance?"
"I'm not graduating," Cody said with a shrug.
"I know you're all expecting me to say 'Kari'," Davis said. "But I know she'll say 'No', so I think I'll ask Mina for most of them. She's really nice. But maybe you'd agree to just one friendly dance?" he asked Kari, hopefully.
Kari smiled. "Sure thing, Davis."
"What about you, Yolei?" Cody asked.
"Ken," Yolei said firmly.
"What about me?" Ken asked, appearing out of nowhere and sitting down next to Cody. Yolei went bright red, and everyone laughed.
"What about you, Kari?" Yolei asked, quickly changing the subject.
"Well, I can dance with friends for most of the dances, but I'm not sure about the last dance."
"Ahh, the dance for lovers," TK said, raising one eyebrow. Kari nudged him in the ribs with her elbow.
"Well, who are you planning to dance the last dance with?" she asked. TK smiled mysteriously.
"That's a secret."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kari walked home by herself, thinking. "Why wouldn't TK tell me who he wanted to dance the last dance with? We've never kept secrets from each other before." She kicked a pebble and watched it bounce up the footpath. "And why do I care so much? What's gotten into me lately?" she asked herself furiously. "If TK doesn't want to tell me who he likes, he doesn't have to. I should respect his privacy."
She reached the apartment block her family lived in and took the lift to their floor. After reaching their door, she fumbled around in her pockets for her key, and finding it, she let herself in.
"Mum, I'm home!" she called.
"Kari! Did you have a good day at school? Dinner will be ready in about half an hour."
"Ok. I'll be in my room," Kari answered.
She collapsed onto her bed and dumped her bag on the floor near her. The room was all hers now, she no longer shared it with her brother. He'd moved out a few years ago and was now living in an apartment of his own, one he shared with Matt. Kari let out a sigh. It must be all the extra stress of getting everything ready for the graduation dance, that must be why she was seeing and feeling strange things. She couldn't possibly be falling in love with her best friend, why even the idea of it was ludicrous. And then she was struck with an even stranger idea. "Maybe you haven't just fallen in love with TK," a small voice in her head commented. "Maybe you've always been in love with him, and just didn't know it."
Kari forced all such thoughts out of her mind.
"TK is my best friend," she told herself. "My good-looking, sweet, perfect best friend perhaps, but still just a friend." She raised her voice and said firmly, "TK is just a friend, nothing more."
But even as she said it, she knew it wasn't true.

Very short, very short, I know. Sorry!
So? Comments? Feedback? Flames? Anything? R+R, people! You did it once before, you can do it again!
So until next time, God bless!
