Chapter 6: Pre-Dance Excitement
Beep! Beep! Beep! Katie's alarm clock rang loudly. The alarm had woken up the same dream Katie had the other day, except this time the grim reaper killed her right in front of her friends and they just pointed and laughed. They watched her die and did nothing. She shivered and put on her uniform, like she had done every school day of her life. Katie flew downstairs, grabbed a banana, and dashed out the door.
"Hey Katie!" Katie turned around to see Freddy standing behind her breathless. A blonde girl who looked about 12 and another blonde girl who looked about 6, trailed behind him.
"Yeah?" Katie smiled and tilted her head the right
"I was wondering....." Freddy stopped. Suddenly the older blonde girl came up behind him.
"Freddy..." the girl mumbled
"I was wondering....I was wondering....would you like to go to the formal with me?" Freddy looked away. Katie was shocked, she just stared at the blonde drummer. Did she hear him right?
"Ummm..." Katie's mind went blank
"Never mind." Freddy began to walk away
"Wait! Freddy!" Freddy turned around at Katie's call. "Sure. It's nice to go with a friend. I never thought of that."
"Great. As friends. So I'll pick you up at 7?" Freddy asked with a frown that Katie disregarded
"Awesome! So I'll see you then. Don't worry about dancing with me the whole time. I mean since we're just going as friends we can dance with other people. Right?" Katie said with a smile
"Right. See you then." Freddy said blandly as Katie walked away
"Sorry Fred." Grace said from behind him
"Sorry Freddy." 6 year old Anna said. Anna was Freddy's littlest sister who was in 1st grade, and very proud of it.
"Thanks. At least she's going with me." Freddy said slowly before running the rest of the way to school.
.........................................................................................
The hallways were abuzz with talk of who was going with who to the big formal. Katie passed Eleni and Michelle, otherwise known as the "Gossip Queens".
"I hear Summer's going with Jake Ellington! You know that football player! He is so hot!" Eleni squealed
"Oh yeah, I know. She's so lucky. Alicia's going with Leonard. Isn't that cute?" Michelle shrieked
"Yeah it is. Is Katie going with her lover boy, Zack?" Eleni mocked. Katie stopped dead in her tracks. Ugh! Just when her life was going well, something had to go screw it up again! There was nothing she could do now though. Once it had gotten through to Eleni or Michelle, it was pretty much public news. Katie returned to walking to her 1st period class, Art. When she arrived the Horace Greene art teacher greeted her.
"Good Morning, Miss Brown." Mrs. Stewart said with a smile
"Morning, Miss Stewart." Katie had been taught to answer adult politely when they spoke to her
"As many of you know, tomorrow is our spring formal. Since we are the art department, we will be providing decorations." Mrs. Stewart said with another smile. That woman smiled so much, it was sickening. It was like her mouth was frozen like that. From there art class was spent, well, like the rest of the day had been. Much talk of the formal. A girl named Kelly turned toward Katie.
"So Katie, are you going with Zack?" Kelly raised and lowered her eyebrows. News travels fast! Katie thought
"No." Katie said coldly
"Oh, then your going alone?" Kelly sounded disappointed
"Actually, I'm going with Freddy, but just as friends." Katie scrunched her nose and smiled.
"Oh, how fun!" Kelly walked away and sat in her seat. The bell rung minutes later, time for second period. Katie walked down the decorated hallway, administration decorated the hallways before formals every year. She had her 2nd period with Eleni and Michelle, which meant that either Eleni or Michelle would probably "accidentally" tell everyone in the class who Zack was going to the formal with. Michelle came in handy every once in a while. Katie moseyed into her Science class and took a seat near the back. Michelle walked into the room and took a seat next to Katie.
"So, Katie...did you hear who Zack was going to the formal with?" Michelle asked as she propped herself up on her right hand and stared at Katie.
"No I didn't." Katie loved it when she was right.
"Oh, well you can't tell anyone this, but I heard...." Michelle started softly. "that he was going alone!!" she screamed the end of her sentence. Eleni ran over.
"No! Oh my God! Is that true?!" Eleni's eyes were the size of golf balls. A girl named Jackie, who was friends with Michelle and Eleni, walked over.
"Yep, it's true. He told me himself!" Jackie said with a smirk
Katie grimaced realizing what she had gotten herself into. A gossip circle. She tried changing seats but the "Gossip Queens" just kept following her. No one left the "Queen's court". Finally after 45 minutes of who was dating who, who was wearing what, and who cheated on last Friday's math quiz, class was over. Katie flew out of the classroom and took a seat in her 3rd period class before Eleni, Michelle, and Jackie could catch her to tell her more about other people's lives. The rest of the day was pretty much the same. Bubbly, ecstatic pre-teens that all have one thing on their minds. The formal. Except for one girl. Katie. ............................................................................................
