Getting up Again - Chapter 4
This was the moment both Lena and Ice had been dreading. What was Kai going to say to them?
An uncomfortable silence fell between both groups of friends, most of whom were wondering what was going on. After a minute, Bryan stepped up, cleared his throat, and gave a sweet smile. "Well, well, ladies. Glad to see you in such fine shape."
Did Kai or Tala tell them?- thought Ice sorrowfully. -Do they all know..?-
Bryan raised an eyebrow as blushes started to creep into the girls' cheeks but smiled even wider. -Well, well! It seems they're quite shy around me! Oh, they're into me! Score!- "Now, now. No need to be shy, ladies. Now, I have a surprise for both of you. I'm hosting a party on Saturday night, at seven. Hope you two fine ladies will be there."
Ice and Lena exchanged glances. "Uh, I don't know..." Lena trailed off, unsure.
Bryan pouted, "Well, at least think about it. For me?"
Ice sighed in vexation, "Alright, we'll think about it. Tomorrow night at seven?"
"That-a girl! You got it right. I hope to see you two there. My house is number 786 Waterway Avenue." winked Bryan.
Yeah... right...- was all that ran through Lena's mind as another silence fell.
"Um, Lena... Ice... could... I talk to you for a minute?" asked Tala with a nod from Kai.
Shit...- thought Ice as she lowered her eyes. "Sure."
Tala led both girls into an empty classroom, followed by Kai. They received odd looks from Kai and Tala's band of friends but ignored them all together.
Kai softly shut the door behind him once everyone was inside the empty classroom. They had five more minutes until they had to be to second period. Both girls stood side by side, eyes downcast.
Tala and Kai exchanged another look. Taking a deep breath, the red head started. "Look, Ice... Lena... we haven't told anyone about what... happened last night, and we plan on keeping it to ourselves.
Both girls were now blushing furiously, still mortified at what their mothers had done. "We don't blame you for what they... said." continued Kai. "We won't hold it against you either. I mean... uh..."
"What Kai is trying to say is, we see you for who you are and not... what your mothers do... ummm..."
"Look, all we want to say is that we've decided to forget it had ever happened. It would be easier on all of us." finished Kai.
Lena and Ice stared at Tala and Kai with shocked looks. "You mean... You'd do that?" breathed Lena.
Both boys nodded in response as a smile broke on Lena's face. With tears of happiness in her eyes, Lena whispered, "Thank you..."
Ice's face was hard and emotionless as she stared at both boys. -They'll... pretend like it never happened? But why? It doesn't make any sense... Every single guy I've ever met was inconsiderate, pushy... the list could go on. But these two... They seem to... understand... or try to understand how other people feel... It's just so weird...-
The bell rang, breaking Ice from her train of thought. With a nod to the boys, Ice turned to Lena. "Come on, let's go."
"Right." nodded Lena before she followed Ice from the classroom.
With one last glance at the two boys standing in front of the teacher's desk, Lena exited the classroom and jogged to Ice's side. Neither said a word, even after they reached their classroom. Drama.

Ms Taylor, their Drama teacher, had made the whole class act out the death of Julius Caesar. Everyone groaned once they heard that. This was the fourth time since school started that she had wanted them to act out that scene.
The rest of the day flew by in a cloud of flurry. The final bell rang and everyone cheered. The weekend was upon them.
Ice and Lena walked home in silence. "Do you think Dusty invited them over again?" asked Ice in a quiet voice.
"Don't know. And, I also don't know if it would be good or bad if he did." replied Lena as they walked up the front steps to the house.
Ice quietly opened the door and stepped inside. "Mom! Josephine! Dustin! We're home!" she called as she removed her white running shoes and entered the kitchen.
Picking up a note off the table, Ice read it out loud.
Dear Alexandra and Lena, Ice winced as she read her real name.
We had to return back to Hong-Kong to finish packing the stuff we had to leave behind when we first moved. Dustin begged us to bring him too, so don't worry about him. We expect you to be responsible while we are gone, alright? No parties, drinking, and all that stuff. (-She's one to talk- thought Ice with a snort but continued reading the rest to Lena, who was rummaging through the fridge.) Other then that, do as you please. We don't feel like getting complaints from our new neighbours either. Alright? Ok. A few final notes. We bought groceries before we left so you're all stoked up. Try and eat meals and not just pizza and burgers this time. We should be back after supper on Sunday.
Lots of love,
Your mothers and Dustin.
P.S. Dustin says you can play his games on the PS2 as long as you don't erase his files.
"Erase his files? Why would we do that? He's the one who always erases ours because we get further then him." Lena pointed out as she bit into an apple.
"Oh well. Looks like we can go to Bryan'sparty." commented Ice. "We don't have an excuse not to go. Well, we could always say our mothers wrote down we had to stay home..."
"But Tala and Kai would know better." finished Lena as she took another bite from her apple.
"Exactly. So, looks like we get to go to a party hosted by yours truly." sneered Ice. "What to wear..."
"Don't know about you, but I know what I'm going to wear!"

Saturday night came and Lena and Ice found themselves outside Bryan's house. Lena wore a purple halter top with sequins around her neck. Her black skirt hugged her figure and fell to her knees. Slits ran up to her mid thighs with chains hooking one side of the slit to the other. Her black boots went up to her knees. She lifted her hand and pressed the doorbell.
Ice stood beside Lena dressed in a white sleeveless shirt with a hood and thin ropes hanging near the base where the hood is attached to the shirt. A large pocket in the front hid her hands as they waited for someone to answer the door. She wore her usual gloves and her hair was in the same style as every other day. She wore tight black pants with a dark grey belt and her white running shoes finished her look. "I really don't know why you got all dressed up for this. It'll only make Bryan want you more." stated Ice.
"Who said I'm dressing this way for Bryan?" blushed Lena.
"Sorry, for Kai?" grinned Ice.
Lena blushed, "So? What about you?...Tala maybe?"
"Hey, I didn't get all dressed up." defended Ice.
"So? Your clothes are form fitting." teased Lena.
"Lena, my clothes are always form fitting, same for you."
"Oh. Right. Forgot about that."
Ice grinned to Lena as the door opened to show who other then Bryan himself. "Ladies! Glad you could make it!" he yelled over the throb of music. "Come in, come in!"
Both girls rolled their eyes and entered the near crowded house. It seems Bryan was rich and lived high class in a luxurious mansion that, at the moment, was crawling with teenagers. "Punch and stuff is in the kitchen." yelled Bryan. "If you need anything, let me know!"
They watched the lavender haired boy wink at them then disappear into the crowd. "Come on! Let's find somewhere more quiet!" shouted Lena.
"Alright!" Ice shouted back and pointed towards where Bryan had told them they could find the kitchen.

"Hey, Kai! Tala!" called Brooklyn as he trotted over to his friends' side. "Great party, huh?"
"Yeah!" Tala cried back.
Kai nodded, not wanting to shout over the music. Brooklyn looked around. "Seems it's turning out great! Look at everyone!"
I wonder if Lena and Ice are gonna come...- thought Tala. "Yeah, but wait until Bryan gets his 'groove' on and all the girls will be avoiding him."
"Yeah, that's true. Are Lena and Ice coming? I think they're the only girls from school not here yet." shouted Brooklyn as they walked towards the kitchen.
Tala and Kai exchanged looks. "No clue." replied Kai as they entered the kitchen. Smiling, Kai then added, "Then again, maybe they were hiding."
Ice and Lena spun around to see Tala, Brooklyn and Kai standing there, smiling at them. "What? Have we got something on our faces?" asked Ice, eyebrow.
"Nah. Just didn't know if you two would be coming." grinned Brooklyn.
"What? And miss a party like this?" inquired Lena. "Never."
"Do you two plan on staying in here all night or are you gonna go and dance?" inquired Brooklyn.
"Did he just challenge us?" Ice asked Lena.
"I think he did. Do you think we can't dance?" questioned Lena to Brooklyn and co.
"I never said anything like that. But, it does seem like you two were hiding out in here..."
"Challenge accepted them." Ice stated with a devilish grin. "Be prepare to get blown away, Brooklyn."
Shaking her head and grinning, Lena followed Ice out of the kitchen and into the massive living room where all the furniture had been pushed up against the wall to make room for people to dance.
Hey Mama by the Black Eyed Peas blared through the speakers as Ice and Lena wove through the crowd of dancing teenagers. One they were stationed near the centre, they exchanged grins and started moving their bodies to the music, slowly circling each other, swaying their hips and body to the beat of the song.
Hands raised, Ice began to move a bit quicker and twirled, catching the momentum of her spin, she landed back on both feet and began to rotate slowly. Lena followed suit as the chorus began to play.
The beat picked up and Ice grinned. This was her domain. Just her and the music. Music was always there, whether to sing or dance to, this was what she loved. Planting both feet firmly on the group, she faced Lena, who grinned back. Nodding to each other they picked up the pace.
They each placed a hand on each other's shoulder and slowly moved backwards, swinging their hips to the music. When their hands let go, they put one foot down, then the other in a sort of pattern on the floor while leaning forward a bit, bringing their hands up and down in front of them. (A/N Man, I suck at this...live with me here...)
A few people had stopped dancing to watch the two girls dance and a circle soon formed around Lena and Ice but the two girls paid no attention to it.
After a bit, they stood up straight and began to shake their upper bodies in time to the music as they slowly did a circle.
Lena raised her hands her hands up high and swiftly swayed her body from side to side as she danced lower and lower by bending her knees then returning back to her original height.
This part in the song was Ice's favourite part. Lena, hearing the part coming, grinned and danced less noticeably near the edge of the circle.
Ice moved to the centre of the circle and waited a second before doing her dance. She began by beating her arms like wings and bringing her hips forward and backwards. She then raised her hands and brought them together over her head to form like a triangle with her elbows and arms. She did a circle while still moving her hips in the same way.
She then brought her hands down and let them sway from side to side as she shook her ass from side to side.
Placing both hands on her hips, she did another circle while swaying her hips from side to side again. She then brought one hand up and waved it in the air above her head.
She then brought up her left knee and tapped it with her right hand, then brought up her right knee and tapped it with her left hand. She did that twice before turning on her side and clapping her hands in front of her hips.
After a moment, she turned back while shaking her hips to the beat and wagged her finger in front of her like scowling someone. Bringing one shoulder up, then the other, she shook her top while still shaking her hips.
Bring her right elbow up as though punching someone on her side, she made her other hand go in a straight line as she neared the floor while bending her knees to sort of 'fall' to her right.
Before she hit the floor, she banged her hands down while sort of bouncing there.
Claps and cheers were heard as she stood back up to finish the song with Lena dancing beside her. They finished the song with their backs together. (A/N : If you've ever watched the music video for Hey Mama, the girl does that dance near the end.)
Breathing a bit heavily, they were greeted by cheers and whistles from their crowd of onlookers. Both gave small smiles as their cheeks began to tinge with pink. The music started up again as everyone went back to dancing except for Lena and Ice, who made their way back to the kitchen.
They entered the somewhat suprisingly still clean kitchen and hopped up on a counter, still smiling. "Think we proved we can dance?" asked Ice.
"I think so..." Lena trailed off as the kitchen door opened revealing Brooklyn, Kai and Tala. "So, boys," continued Lena with grin, "did we beat your challenge?"
"I think so." Brooklyn airily replied. "Right guys?"
Kai and tala nodded in reply. "You two can dance pretty well." commented Tala.
Ice and Lena only smiled at this.
The kitchen door opened once more to show a very excited Bryan. "You two ladies can dance!"
Both girls rolled their eyes.
"Anyway, I'd like to give you two fine girls a tour of my mansion, if you're up to it, of course." he continued with a glint in his eyes.
"Uh, sure, Bryan." replied Ice as a look of uneasiness crossed her face for a second but was quickly replaced with a sweet but forced smile.
Bryan gave a wide grin and motioned for them to follow him. The girls hopped off the counter and, after glancing at the trio of boys, followed Bryan out of the kitchen.
