Chapter 6 - Old Friends, Dancing, and Instant Messaging
"Alright, great job, you guys! I think that we could have this done by at least January 10th if we try hard enough! Then that'll give you a couple extra days in Pickford, Keely!" said Chelsea, the dance coach.
"Yeah, hopefully! That would be fun!" Keely exclaimed.
"Well, what time do I need to come in tomorrow? Can you try to make it like after 9 or 10? I have to go to a job interview tomorrow at 8, and I'm not too sure how long it'll take," said Chelsea.
"Wow, that sounds important! You just call me whenever you're done," Keely said nicely.
Chelsea's eyes grew wide with excitement. "Really? Do you mean that?"
"Of course! Good luck!"
"Oh my God, thank you so much, Keely!" Chelsea said, running up to Keely and hugging her.
"No problem! Have a great day!"
"Oh, I will!" she said, grabbing her dance bag with a grin and walking out of the room, leaving Phil and Keely alone.
"Well, that was nice of you, Keel," Phil said, grabbing Keely's keys and following Keely out the door to her car.
"Thanks. I hope she gets the job," Keely said, keying her way into the car.
"Me too. I think she will... she seems nice and dedicated to you and your business."
"Oh, she is. She's like never late for ANYTHING. It's like she's perfect or something."
"Wow."
"Hey, why don't you have your driver's license yet?" Keely asked, strapping her seatbelt and pulling out of the small, two-car driveway.
"My parents, me, AND Pim don't have enough money to even pay for the exam," Phil said, looking at KEely sadly.
"Aww, that sucks. Well, I could pay for you if you want me to."
"I could never ask you to do that. You probably don't have enough money, anyway."
"You're not asking. I offered," she said, flashing a smile that almost blinded Phil in awe.
"Good point. But I don't want to sound rude if I say yes."
"Don't be silly! I love you, Phil. I love doing nice things for you."
"Well... are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
"Okay, thank you!"
"No problem!"
Then Phil turned on her radio and there was nothing good on, so he popped in her Christmas cd and started singing along. Keely watched him, her eyes going back and forth between the road and him. She smiled everytime she looked at him.
"Keel, this is an awesome cd! You did a great job on it! You sound awesome!"
"Thank you!" she said, excitedly. "Are you impressed?"
"Of course I am! Who wouldn't be?"
"Good. Just what I wanted to hear."
Phil smiled and kissed her on the cheek softly, the touch of his lips against her face sending shivers up and down her spine. They sat there listening to the cd and singing along until they got to Phil's place.
"Oh, Keel? I meant to ask you something."
"Yeah?" she asked, looking at him curiously.
"I need to go shopping for my family... will you take me there? I need to get them something for Christmas."
"Of course! Let's go!"
"Well, I wanted to go later and maybe take you out to dinner."
"Aww, really?" Phil nodded his head yes. "Thank you! What time do you wanna head up there, then?"
"How's 7?"
"That sounds good. 7 it is."
"Great," he said, turning the doorknob and walking in the door of his house. Nobody was home yet, so they both just headed upstairs to his bedroom.
"Wow... your room sure has changed," she said, looking at all the posters and magazine cutouts of her displayed on his walls and ceiling.
"Yeah. I guess you could say that. I'm obssessed with you," he said, taking her hand and holding it in his.
"And I'm obssessed with you," she said. Then they kissed each other passionately and then parted, sitting down on his bed.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Keely asked, looking up at the ceiling with a huge grin slapped across her face.
"I don't know. What do YOU wanna do?"
"Ooo, let's get online and surf some websites together. That was always fun."
"Yeah, it was," he said, zapping a laptop onto his bed from his WIZRD. Keely shook her head and laughed.
"You were always good for this kind of stuff," she said, turning it on and flipping the screen up.
"Yeah. And I still am. It's part of what makes me so adorable," he said with a boyish grin. Keely laughed.
"Yeah, I guss you could say that," she said as she logged on to her AOL account. As soon as she clicked on her mailbox, she got an instant message.

"Yeah, Keel?"
"Can Via meet us at the mall tonight? I haven't seen her since last year."
"Absolutely! I know she wants to see you."
"Thank you so much, Phil!" she exclaimed, kissing him on the cheek. He felt like melting.

"Well... I'm all alone now. Know any good websites, Phil?" Keely asked, moving the mouse around the screen in no particular direction.
"There's FunnyJunk," he said.
"Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that one!"
"And MySpace."
"Oh yeah! Thanks! Now please stop before I go internet mad."
"Okay. But you're a girl. Can't you multi-task?"
"Not this blonde. Blonde is the key word there, Phil. Remember?"
"Yeah... shame on me!" he said sarcastically, pretending to slap himself in the face. Keely laughed and gave him a playful hit in the ribs with her elbow. Then she glanced at the clock in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
"I'm gonna start getting ready to go."
Phil looked at the clock on his laptop also. "To the mall? Now? Keely, it's 5:30."
"Well, I need to put on an outfit that doesn't give off a "starry look" if you know what I mean. And can I take a shower before I go?"
"Sure. But you're at my house. You don't have any clothes with you except the ones you have on now."
"Can't I pick some out of your WIZRD?" she asked, with her famous puppy-dog pout.
"Yeah, sure," he said, defeated once again.
"Thanks. Well I'll be in the bathroom."
"Okay, Keel." She smiled and walked into the bathroom. Phil turned on the tv and waited for her to finish.
