Here we go again

"Hey! Serena I didn't know you were old enough to come to these dances." I looked up to see Ken. He was 6 of a large family of 13, but that's in 9 months. Right now he has only 10 brothers and sisters. With him it was an uneven 11.

"Oh hey Ken, how's it going?" I asked happy to see some one I knew. Ray hadn't asked me to introduce her to Diamond and his friends yet and I was forever glad to see Ken.

"Good, good. So what's with Ray this time?" he asked turning over to look at her.

"Oh my you don't want to know." I answered. He pulled over a chair and sat down with me.

"Yes I do could you tell me…. Please?" he was begging, but who could resist those blue eyes.

"I meet Diamond at the last dance. Well Ray found out about it and is going nuts trying to find out how I got a 'cool' kid to notice me."

"You got to dance with Diamond?" he looked at me like I was kidding.

"Yes I did. Now could you tell me why, you are making a big deal out of this?"

"Oh Serena. I am so sorry."

"What?"

"Diamond and his group only hang out with those who they feel sorry for." He paused and my heart fell. "Hey why don't you come and hang out with my group."

"No thanks I don't want to be a 'groupie' if you know what I mean."

"Ok then I'll make a deal. I'll introduce you to my group tonight and tomorrow I'll introduce to another group. That way you can be the only one at the dance who knows everyone."

"Ya but tomorrow is Sunday. We have church."

"Yep and there is another group there that you might want to meet."

"Ok Ken I'll do it."

"Okay, but first… Can I have this dance?"

"That depends have you been prancing?"

"Yes and all my sister are sick of me."

"Then I will be honored to dance with you." The song was slow, but fast. One of those songs you aren't sure how to dance to, but we made up some moves our self. Ken introduced to a whole group of boys. I had seen them all at school, but they never saw me. Well all but one, in Orchestra class he asked me for a pencil.

"This is Andrew, Greg, Chad, and Endymion, but we call him Eddie. Guys this is Serena. Now be nice."

"Hi." I said like a mouse.

"So Ken why another girl?" this was Endymion, Eddie asking. He squeaked when he talked. I couldn't help but laugh, and for some reason I wanted to call him Squeakers. He was tall with blond hair, his face well you all know teenagers in that strange stage. He also hunched over.

"I'm trying to get you guys to dance. And I don't mean tapping your foot, Chad." He then looked over Greg who looked like he was going to say something. But then stopped. "Why do you come to these any way?"

"To please our parents." This came from Greg. He was also tall, but not as tall as Eddie. He had black hair and his nose was in the air when the talked. Almost like he knew he was better than every one.

"I come for the Music." This was Chad. He was about my height, blond spiky hair, and big ears. He had a silly smile, but cute and a lisp, but not so bad that one could notice it. You had to train your ear to hear for it. I was surprised I even picked it up with the music playing.

"What about you Andrew?" I asked.

"Oh Serena, he won't talk to you." This was Eddie.

"Why not?" I asked.

"He knows you and he talks to us about you all the time."

"What has he told you?"

"Oh how you were about to sit when someone pulled the chair out fro under you and you almost broke your Violin. Or the time you-"

"Okay! Okay! I got it. I thought I knew him from somewhere. Andrew I'll see you Monday in Orchestra class?" I looked just in time to see him blush. I didn't know he paid any attention to me. Good thing I'm not into guys yet. He had the nicest bowl cut brown hair I had ever seen. When he got up to walk away I saw his soft blue eyes and that cute butt. Oh if I could remember my first crush here it is. If only I got that one kiss of those sweet plush lips of his. Oh right back to the story….Sorry.
"Oh there you are Serena." Oh no with out turning around I knew who the voice belonged to. It was Diamond.

"Oh hi Diamond. What brings you here?" I asked.

"This slow song and you! Would you like to dance?" I turned to plead help for the guys, but they all just sat there Ken left to see what happened to Andrew. So I was out of luck.

"Sure," I said turning back around to face him. 'Oh please don't smell like a monkey.' The song was long and it stopped then started again. It was a very pretty song, but I wanted to run and hide. we talked about this and that all I could do was stop breathing. 'He smells like a skunk. I think I like the monkey smell better.' I turned to get some fresh air when I saw her. Ray was dancing with Ken and they were making there way over to us. 'Oh someone help me.'

"Hey Serena."

"Hi Ray and-" I started, but Ken shook his head so I added "Dancing friend."

"Um… Serena who is this?" Asked Diamond.

"This is my older sister, Ray. Ray this is Diamond." The two shook hands.

"Oh this is…. I forgot you name again." Ray turned to look at her dancing friend.

"Ken," Came his answer. "My name is Ken."

"Oh that's right and you are looking for Barbie," my sister and her stupid jokes. Oh I wanted to kill her right there, but the song ended and to my relief Ray asked Diamond to dance and I took off as fast as I could, with Ken on my heals.

"Oh Ken I'm sorry for that rude remark my sister made." I apologized when we were away from the crowd.

"Oh no I told her I was looking for Barbie, it was a code for you."

"What?"

"Serena you look like a Barbie."

"Ya sure just smaller and flatter. Right?"

"That's right. Now your sister looks and acts like a blond Barbie. At least you have a brain."

"Please tell me what that means."

"Well when I went off after Andrew, I ran in to her. She flirted with me like crazy, it was insane and nuts. And then when I saw you dancing with Diamond, I asked her and we made our way over to you. I was trying to help you out."

"Well thank you. Oh thank you so much." I gave Ken a hug and together we walked back to the dance hall. Ray and Diamond were laughing at something. I wish I knew what they were saying.

Diamond and Ray's dance.

"So Diamond, why were you dancing with my sister?" asked Ray.

"Well she pretty. I like her, and I want to be her friend." Answered Diamond. "but she shows no interest in me. Why is that?"

"Well Serena is confusing. She hasn't really found herself yet. She's not into boys, but I'm sure she has a crush on someone I know, I just don't know."

"Ya I see what you mean." He answered. Ray looked at him confused. "What I have 2 sister of my own. I know what you mean by that."

"Wow that's! Wow!" Ray became speechless. "So you want to know how to get to Serena?'

"Yes please."

"Hang with her. Do what she doses if she tells you about some boring book read it. And then tell her about a book you like."

"She likes books?"

"Yep."

"What kind?"

"History at the moment last week it was fairy tails and the week before that it was something dad gave her from the readers digest."

"Hey thanks Ray. That's awesome."

"Ya I know. Now to get you to hang with her." Ray went on to deep thought. "I know I promised my parents something, and I'm going to keep to it. Diamond there is only one thing to do. Hang out with me and my friend's and I'll hang out with you and your friends. No matter what she'll want to hang out with me where ever I am."

"Do you really think it will work?"

"Sure! Now introduce me to a hot friend of yours."

Back Home

Before I even got in the door mom handed me the phone. "Hello?"

"Serena it's me Diamond. Just making sure you got home alright."

"I did thanks for calling. Good night Diamond." I never did like talking on the phone I don't believe I ever got there. Mina and Amy were already a sleep so I just went to bed.

"Serena who was that nice young man?" asked Mom

"Oh that was Diamond. I meet him at my first dance." I answered.

"And he has our Number?" she asked.

"Don't ask me that one ask Ray. Good night mom. Love you."

"Good night sweetie." I was a sleep before my head hit the pillow.
