Chapter 1 - ' The Right Ladies Choice '
I was at my locker collecting my things for my next class when Via walked up. I didn't notice her until she tapped my shoulder.
" Oh, hey Vi. So, have you asked anyone to the dance yet? " I asked her. She looked at me with a disappointed look on her face.
" No. Being the new girl is really a drag, beings I don't know anyone, " she said.
I was going to tell her to ask Owen, but I knew she would say no. He would DEFINETELY
take it the wrong way, even if she did tell him it was only because she couldn't find a date.
I just decided to not say anything.
" Well if it makes you feel any better I haven't asked anyone yet either, " I told her, thinking I was helping.
She just gave me a look from the corner of her eye and then rolled them with a sarcastic smile.
" Oh, please. You know you're going to ask Phil, " she said. When she said it my eyes grew wide for a second and then went back to normal. I hoped she didn't notice.
" Phil... Diffy? " She could tell that I was playing stupid. Then I gave in and then I told her I was planning on asking him.
" Okay... I want to, but this isn't a casual mall date - it's a dance date. Asking him is.
complicated, " I finished. I felt like I just spilled all my guts out all over the smooth floor of
H.G. Wells. Hopefully Via didn't notice.
Then Phil's brat sister, Pim, walked up.
" There's nothing complicated about asking a guy to a dance. First, you show them the leg, " Pim said, lifting up her skirt a little ways, tripping a boy walking down the hallway. " Hey! " I heard him yell. Via looked at him and tried to hold in her laugh.
" Then, when he's fallen for you, you sweet talk him, " she said, her mouth dropping from a smile to a serious, somewhat creepy, evil, expression.
" Yo, Prickles! You're takin' me to the dance Friday! " she yelled. He just looked at her like she was from a different century. ( haha ).
" Yeah, right. In not a million years-mobile, " he said, dragging himself up from the floor and walked away.
" What's wrong, you don't like the trippy-trippy? " she asked him as he walked away, somewhat scared.
Then, Danny Dawkins, a boy who OBVIOUSLY had a crush on Pim, walked up trying to act like ' Mr. Cool '.
" Word on the street is you don't have a date to the dance, " he said to Pim. Pim rolled her eyes and I did the same, looking at Via. But she was too deep into the conversation to even glance my way, so I just looked back. Then I saw Phil over at his locker and my mind went blank and blurry only thinking about him. After about 3 more minutes of looking at him, Darren got " Pimified " and ran into a trash can, the crash of his body and the cans causing me to snap back into reality. " That is so not how you walk on the moon, " she said. I was sure she would know...
After she walked away towards her next class, Phil looked at me and my eyes grew wide and I looked to Via for support. She just pushed me forward, but I wouldn't budge. She rolled her eyes and dragged me over to him. On our way there, she told me to ask him.
" Hey, " Phil said. I felt nauseous when he spoke. I knew I wanted to ask him, and I thought I might be able to ask him with Via there.
Obviously she didn't know I was fine with it, because she just walked off and left him and I together. I just watched her helplessly. I was still looking at her with a worried look when he looked at me. I knew I had to talk to him now. I didn't have a choice.
I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.
" S-So... ya know the dance on Friday? " I stuttered.
" Ladies' Choice? " he asked.
" Yeah, " I said, thinking that he might know what I'm trying to say.
" The one where girls ask guys, " he said, not sounding like he was asking a question, but more of a statement.
" Yeah! " I said, now not really worried about asking him on an actual date.
" The one where a girl... a girl who has a friend, a guy friend... has to build up the courage to ask that guy friend to the dance? " he asked.
HE GETS IT!
" Yes, that's the dance! " I explained with excitement. I was SO happy that he knew now. I was hoping that he would say yes.
Then, out of the clear blue sky, he said something totally unexpected.
" What about it? " he asked, obviously trying to test me. GEEZ!
Well, I was thinking of going, and if you're thinking of going - then... we might as well take the same car, " I stuttered. " You know... for the environment. " I thought I handled that very well.
" While we're there we might as well dance together... ya know - for the environment, " he said rather idiotically.
I was way too thrilled to see that what he said made no sense at all. I just felt like flying away with him to a whole different place. Where we could be alone. Where I could confess my feelings for him.
" Cool. I'll see ya, then, " I said trying to sound calm and collected. " Bye, " I said.
" Bye, " he said with the smile that always wins me over. He doesn't even bother with trying to use it on me, because he knows it won't work on me as much as my famous heart-stealing puppy dog pout works on him.
Then I walked off towards my next class, happy as a clam. I felt like dancing. Then, I made the
biggest mistake of my life. I actually started dancing. Yeah. I'm talking IN THE HALLWAY, WITH ALL
THE KIDS STARING AT ME. I didn't care at the moment, because my flying maniac hair was in my face,
blocking a piece of my vision.I could see Phil through anything, though. When HE stopped dancing, too,
we both looked at each other embarassed. More at the fact that we saw each other instead of all the kids
looking at us, though.
" I'm just happy for the environment, " he said, his excuse extremely lame.
" Me, too, " I said, going along with him. Hey, can you blame me? It was lame, but it was a good excuse. " Go Earth! " I said, slinking away from him with a worried smile. As I turned around and started walking trying to ignore the perverted people from staring at me, I thought about something.
' I have a date with Phil Diffy, ' I whispered to myself. The rest of my day was very good, even though I did pretty bad on an english test. Nope, nothing could bring me down.
Hope you liked! Remember, this is my first 'fic, so some reviews would be nice. Thanx, guys!
PHEELY FOREVER!
