A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. Again the title sucks but I'm not that good at making titles. Anyway, I've almost finished the other chapters so they should be coming soon.
Chapter 11
The rest of the week was just a big snore fest to Tommy. The only thing that they did in classes was to study for finals. Like he was gonna pay attention to that. Tommy was extremely smart (with an IQ of 180). He was considered the school genius and remembered almost anything he ever read, saw or heard. So the need to pay attention was virtually eliminated for him. So the week dragged on for him. All of his friends were paying rapt attention and busy studying so he had nothing to do all day. But finally, Saturday had arrived and he was excited because the dance would give him something to do.
He was kinda glad that it was a formal though. Now he didn't have to spend any time trying to figure out what he should wear, it was already decided for him. They had gone to get him dress shoes and tie yesterday. He was supposed to pick up Lil at seven thirty and it was one, so he had plenty of time to get ready for the night. So, he devoted his time to showering and deciding what to do with his hair. He had purposefully slept late until one so that he would not be tired before the night was over. For his hair, instead of just leaving it the way that he had found it when he woke up, he decided to spike it up. It made it look like he has spent time in preparation, though he had only spent about ten minutes. He wondered what Lil was doing to get ready. He also wondered what Chuckie was going to do. They had argued a few days ago about the dance at school.
Lil:
Lil woke up early on Saturday even though she was tired from trying to study for finals and was burnt out from having to actually pay attention is classes this week. She normally would have used the weekend to sleep until two. "I wish I was as smart as Tommy so I didn't have to study" she thought to herself. She had to get up early to prepare for the dance. There were so many things that she needed to do. Take a long shower, do he hair, her makeup and to dress. "Guys have all the luck," she thought. "All they have to do is shave, throw on a suit and comb their hair. Oh well."
Phil and Kimi were going to the dance together as well. Phil hap hopped into the shower immediately after she got out. "That's strange," she thought. "Normally Mom and Dad have to blackmail him in order to get him into the shower. He must want to make a good impression tonight. But then, who doesn't."
After she finished her shower, she combed her hair and went on with all the necessary preparations she had to make. At seven, she was ready. And, for once in his life, he was actually read ahead of schedule. "Wow!" she thought. "Kimi really has him whipped." Phil and Dad drove off to go and pick up Kimi while she would wait here for Tommy.
Tommy:
At 6:45 he was already to go. He wondered if Chuckie was going. He had mentioned something yesterday that he wasn't going. Tommy pulled out his phone and called Chuckie. He answered the phone. "Hey Chuck, it Tom." He said.
"Hey Tom. Shouldn't you be picking Lil up right now?" Chuckie asked.
"No, I still have a little bit of time. I just wanted to ask if you were going. Are you?"
"No I am not going. I don't have a date and even if I did ask someone they probably would have said no."
"How do you know if they would have said no?"
"I just do."
"The answer is always no Chuck if you don't ask. I think that you should go anyway."
"No, I will look like an idiot."
"And staying home, cooped up in your room is better?"
"Yes."
"Whatever dude, stay home then." With that Tommy immediately hung up. He did not want to listen to anymore of Chuckie's excuses.
Their conversation had lasted 20 minutes. That mean he would have to leave in ten minutes. Plenty of time to grab a quick bite and brush his teeth. He ran into the Kitchen and found Dil eating ice cream. "Hey D. Is there any left?" He asked.
"Yeah plenty." He replied.
"Good, I need a quick pick me up."
"Don't they feed you guys at this dance thing?"
"Yeah, but I want to leave something for everybody else, so I am gonna eat something now and then brush my teeth really quick."
"Whatever man. This seems like a lot of work just for a dance."
"It is, but it's worth it. You'll see that next year."
"I guess. Don't you guys have finals on Monday?"
"Yeah we do, but I don't study for anything, you know that."
"Your right."
"Anyway, see you later D." Tommy put his bowl into the sink and ran into the bathroom to brush his teeth before leaving to pick up Lil. His Dad was already ready to go so he drove the car into the Deville's driveway while Tommy walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. Lil answered the door. She looked absolutely gorgeous in a long, tight silken black dress. "You ready to go?" He asked.
"I'm ready," she replied. He took her hand and walked her to the car and being the chivalrous man that he was, opened the door for her. He shut the door behind her and took his seat in the front. When everyone had their seatbelt one, Tommy's Dad drove off.
