Dancing In The Rain

Chapter 2

She Said Yes!

No One POV

Dana was running to go tell Michael that she did want to go out with him. Boom! She ran into...Michael! "Oh! Michael! I wanted to tell you yes! Yeah I will go out with you!" Dana said quickly. "Really?" Michael said, excited. "Yeah!" Dana said, happy. "I was wondering, since we're getting out for Thanksgiving this Friday, do you want to come and meet my family? We usually have big Thanksgivings at my house, and I'm sure my mom would love for you to come!" Dana said excitedly.

My Dad on the other hand... Dana thought to herself.

"Well..." Michael thought out loud. "My mom would want to see me first, but she could probably drive me to your house...I mean we only live like a county apart." "Yeah." Dana said to him. "Well, call my cell and I'll give you directions." She gave him a peck on the cheek and went to her dorm.

My dad is going to kill me. What do I do? Dana thought.

"I'm sorry, we can't come to the phone right now. Please leave a message after the beep." Beep.

"Hey, Mom. It's me, Dana. Well, my boyfriend is coming to have Thanksgiving with us. Well, I'll see you when you come pick me up. Bye." Dana said, and she hung up the phone.

What have I done? Dana thought as a tear ran down her cheek.

"I can't believe she said yes!" Michael said excitedly to Logan and Chase, while they were all packing. "I know," Logan said, frustrated, "you've told us at least a billion times. We're getting sick of it." I'm done packing," Chase said as he climbed up his bunk bed, "I'm going to bed.

"Zoe, I'm nervous about Michael meeting my family. Especially my Dad. He's really overprotective of me, especially with blacks. I know it's stupid, but he doesn't think that blacks are as "caring and loving" as whites, and according to him, he's always right." Dana said hopping into her bed. "Dana, stop worrying. If you're Dad really loves you, he'll like Michael. You know that." Zoey said, trying to calm Dana down.

"Whatever, Zoe." Dana said, and she turned off the lamp

Dana POV

I was in a cab, going home. My dad knew someone was coming to my house the next day after I arrived. I was going to be in so much trouble. Why can't my Dad be like me and accept blacks? It's so stupid. I want my dad to be happy that I found someone I liked. I'm seventeen. He should be happy with my decision. I think. I just want my dad to love me. Oh my gosh. The cab driver was listening to some Hilary Duff song called Hide Away. Wow. It sounds like what Michael and I should do. No. We should let my Dad know. My dad's going to kill me.

"Dana! Sweetheart, over here!" I heard someone call. "Mom!" I said, and I ran up to hug her. "Mom, I missed you so much!" "Come on, Dana, let's get you home." She said as she picked up one of my bags. She let me drive home. She even listened to The Killers. That is amazing.

Michael POV

I was home with my mom. It was good to be home with my mom. Nice homemade ice cream, her special pot roast. Life with my mom was good. She was going to take me to Dana's tomorrow. I could have driven, but I wanted to spend some time with her. I love my mom so much. After dinner, I went and took a shower. Tomorrow was a big day. I spent a little time with my mom, racing on video games, checkers, just the usual. Then I went to bed.

Dana POV

Today was the day. Michael was coming. I was so excited, but scared at the same time. Thanksgiving was in three days. Michael would stay for five days. After those five days, my dad would kill me. I heard my dad mowing the lawn. He would see Michael first. Oh no. I heard a car come up. I heard the door open and close.

"Dana!" my dad yelled, angrily. Uh oh.

Author's Note:

MrsLoganReese: Thanks! I like that chapter, too. It's going to get a lot better, Dana's going to get in big trouble, Michael might get hurt, Dana's mother and father are going to have a fight. So trust me, you'll like those chapters way better than you liked the first one.

seanny22: "Why the hate" is what you say. Yeah, I'd like to know that too. It's stupid how some blacks and whites can't get along. Thanks for the review!

Chris3137: Thanks! This story is a lot better than my other one by a long shot.

Keep reviewing everyone! Keep reading!
