It had been a few days since I actually thought of putting my plan into action. First off, I had to figure out where my target was and the best time to attack. But after a bit, I had it all planned out.
BRIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGG!
The bell clanked, and all of us started to pack our things away, as the teacher continued to talk.
"Okay class, bring you books tommorr--"
I dashed out of the classroom, not catching a single word my teacher had said. I was running after someone.
Suddenly, I spotted my target. I ran towards her, trying to have her within my grasp. I held her leather-covered wrist in my hand.
Crystal looked at me. People were walking past us, eager to get to lunch, but we just stood there, my hand around her wrist. Some of them looked at us with odd looks. Whispers flew about, and we continud to stand there.
I struggled to catch my breath. I looked her in the eye, and Crystal returned the gaze. She blushed slightly, embarrassed at the situation.
"What do you want?" She asked me tentatively.
"W-we..." I struggled for air, and finally, I took a deep breath, and spoke. "We need to talk."
"Umm... all right..." Crystal looked at me with a confused look, and I dragged her into an empty classroom.
We looked at each other for a bit, and finally she sat down on a desk, putting her backpack down. "What do you want?"
I stared at her, and then the ground, and finally spit it out.
"I need you to teach me how to dance!"
An eerie silence filled the room. I looked up at her. She had an odd look on her face.
"...How ... to dance?"
I looked away from her, and I felt my face get hot. I was being stupid again.
"W-well," I said, trying to get myself out of the messy situation, "You're a good dancer. I need to learn how to dance."
She tilted her head to the side. "Any good reason for this? Wanting to learn how to dance, I mean."
"I..." I couldn't tell her that I had a crush on Rika. I mean, they were cousins, after all. I made up an excuse. "I want to go to the dance, and I don't want to look like an idiot."
"Ah. Good reason," She replied. Crystal looked at me with a thoughtful look.
"Well... I guess it's okay," She said. "But you HAVE to do what I teach you, okay?"
"All right," I replied. "Don't tell the others either, okay?"
She looked at me with a questioning look. "Well, all right. It starts tommorrow, after school."
Crystal got up, and slung her backpack over her shoulder, she walked towards the door, then stopped, leaning on the side of the doorway.
"See ya later," she said, and winked. She walked away, and as I watched her leave, I wondered what I had just done.

Sorry that this one was laaaaaammmmeeee. I couldn't think of any ideas for this chapter, which explains the shortness. Next one'll be better, I swear.
