You Can Have The Best Of Me
Chapter 4: Dance Fever
The week had past and it was Friday night of the dance. Conner was home busy trying to get ready, searching through his room, through his mess to find something nice to wear. He opened the dresser drawer and through all his shirts and pants out till he found what he was looking for. He pulled out a long red tie with a mix of black. He went over to his closet and found the white button shirt he was going to wear. He put on the white button dress shirt over the shirt he was wearing and pulled the tie over. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. He grabbed his black leather jacket and stuck it on. Then he heard the door bell ring. Added last touches to his hair, he walked out of his room and towards the front door. His parents were out for the night and he was all alone in the house. He opened the door and there stood Ethan, wearing his blue jeans, jacket and a white shirt.
Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering my heart's jittering
Just you and i
Not tonight come tomorrow
When ev'rything's sunny and bright (sunny and bright)
No no no come tomorrow 'cause then
We'll be waiting in the moonlight
"Hey Ethan. What are you doing here?" Conner asked.
Ethan shrugged and took a step inside, "I decided to go the dance. Thought I catch a lift with you." He answered.
Conner chuckled, "You're going in that?"
"I said I will go, not dress up for it. Come on man, can't be late." He told him and pushed him out the door.
They both walked over to Conner's car and got in. He pulled out of the driveway and began driving towards Reefside High. They drove under the archway, Ethan spotted tons of students walking into the building. The music was blasting from inside. Ethan and Conner walked up the steps and inside. Crowds of kids were hanging out in the hall way. They made there way through and into the large gym where the dance was held. The music was loud, and strobes lights were flashing everywhere. Everyone was dancing and screaming.
"Oh sweet food." Conner spotted the refreshment table in the corner. They both walked over and Conner grabbed himself a drink.
"Hey Conner." A feminine voice from behind her spoke.
Conner turned around, and dropped his drink at what he saw. Kira was standing there in front of him. She was wearing a glittering yellow strapless dress that went down to the knees. She also had two silver earnings in each of her ears and her hair was curly and down towards her shoulder. Conner quickly picked up the plastic cup as Kira giggled.
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay awhile
"Kira.. You look beautiful." He whispered.
Kira blushed, bitting her lips. She tried to hold back a small laugh and insult. Conner smiled, but it faded away when Trent walked up next to her and put his hands around her wait. He was wearing a white suite and black tie.
"Hey Conner." Trent spoke up.
Conner tried to act tough, "Yo." He replied.
Trent turned to Kira and she smiled at him.
"Wanna dance?" Trent asked her.
"Sure. Why not." She shrugged and pulled him onto the dance floor.
Conner and Ethan watched as they began dancing to an extremely upbeat song. Kira wrapped her hands around Trent's neck and hung herself off him as she danced. They were beginning to define the whole meaning of dirty dancing.
You know I never could forsee the future years
You know I never could see
Where life was leading me
But will we be together forever?
What will be my love?
Can't you see that I just don't know
"Oh man, Kira looks fine tonight." Ethan said astounded.
Conner glared at him, "Oh shut up."
"What? You blew your chance." He laughed.
Conner sighed and handed him the cup he was holding.
"Maybe not." He replied and walked towards them. Ethan set the cup down on the table and gave a puzzle looked. Conner walked over there and broke them apart.
"You can't dance Kira." He smirked.
Kira jaw dropped, "Excuse me? Wanna bet?"
Conner grinned and extended his hand, "Prove it. Show me what you got."
Inside, Conner could feel the heat rise. He couldn't believe he was doing this. This was the craziest thing he has ever done. Normally, he would never have a problem with a girl, or asking them something, but Kira was different. He couldn't quit put his finger on it yet.
No not tonight not tomorrow
Ev'rything's gonna be alright (sunny and bright)
Wait and see if tomorrow we'll be
As happy as we're feeling tonight
We'll go walking in the moonlight (we'll be happy)
Walking in the moonlight
Kira laughed and extended her hand to reach his, "Oh I'll prove it Wonder Boy, and when I'm done with you, you wont be able to stand."
Trent step aside and watched as Kira pulled him to the center floor. Ethan couldn't believe that he actually convinced her. Maybe he wasn't dumb after all, or maybe it was just a fluke. Either way Ethan, was impressed how he got her to dance with him.
Conner took his leather jacket off and tossed it to Trent before wrapping his hands around Kira's waist from behind her. The upbeat music began to increase as they began to dance. Conner placed his chin on her shoulder as they both began to dance. Kira was moving like crazy, Conner doing the best he can to keep up. Kira broke away from his grip, spun around and wrapped her hands around his neck and continued dancing. There body heat began to intensified as they move their body to the beat. Conner closed his eyes and felt as if they were the only two in the room. There was no music, no people, no lights. Just them two. Sychronizing as one. Kira felt a strange feeling come over her. She looked up at Conner, who smiled at her. She couldn't help but laugh a little as she movied part of his hair out of the way to get a better look at him.
"Well Conner, your not so bad of a dancer then I thought you were." Kira laughed.
"Guess not. Its hard to keep up with you." He replied with a smile.
She chuckled, "Haha, Conner. You're the last person I thought would make me laugh. I'm astounded, guess the whole ranger thing changed you."
Trent glared at the both of them. He was a little jealous of what was going on. He threw the leather coat on the ground and walked towards them.
"My turn kiddo." He pushed him away.
Kira smiled and Trent wrapped his hands around her. Conner stood there as they began to dance. After a few minutes he interuptted and grabbed Kira to dance with again. At this point, Trent and Conner were both competing over one dance with Kira. She did the best she could to dance between them throughout the long song. After a while, Trent got annoyed and pushed Conner away.
I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where we lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
(just you and I) just you and i
Just you and i
Can't you see that we've gotta be together
Be together just you and I just you and i
No more questions just you and i
"Get your own date jock boy." He sneered at him and turned to Kira.
Conner glared at him as Kira gave him a small glance of sympathy.
"I'm sorry Conner." She whispered as Trent pulled her away.
Conner groaned and turned to walk off. He picked up his jacket and left the gym with haste outside. He was so angry at the results that just happened. He walked into the parking lot, when he noticed head lights coming towards him at high speed. He turned and his eyes widen.
"Oh sh-"
