The Day of The Winter Ball

The details vary, but in short Lee and Kara got ready for the dance. That night Taj picked up Kara right on time. Lee did the same for Sam. Kara and Taj and Sam and Lee all arrived at the same time, but after that they tried to keep their distances. Not to mention the fact that Taj didn't like Lee for some reason. Kara didn't know why, he didn't even know Lee. Kara was standing at the punch table, making fun of all the people dancing. But in all truthfulness, her "date" was out there dancing up a storm. Lee stared at Kara from across the room. He hadn't realized just how beautiful she was. Inviting a girl his friend thought he'd like was his biggest mistake. And seeing her with her date was the hardest thing ever, he was so jealous.

'Don't be a wuss. Just go over and say 'do you want to dance', it's not that hard.'

"What was that?" asked a boy next to him.

"What?" Lee asked, totally confused.

"Did you just ask me to dance?" the boy asked, a little crept out.

Lee scoffed. "No, geez!" But inside he was freaking out. He started burning up and his face was turning really red.

'How could I have said that out loud? Stupid, stupid!'

And before he knew it he was in front of her.

"Hi' Lee said.

"Hi".

This was surprisingly awkward for both of them. Neither of them could find the words they needed to talk to each other.

"If you want to dance just ask." She said.

Just then the song "You and Me" by Lifehouse came on. She absolutely loved this song. As they started dancing she realized that the things about Lee she noticed everyday, and had started to take for granted, were extremely predominant tonight. Maybe because while they were dancing the only things that mattered to her were his deep brown eyes, his luscious brown hair, and his amazing smile.

"So, Taj, he's quite a dancer," Lee said.

"Yea, well, as soon as he started dancing I made friends with the punch guy. Actually, he's quite a nice guy."

"Oh, you wanna dance with him then?" Lee joked.

"Ha-ha."

"I have a confession to make," Kara started.

"Me too," Lee offered.

"Well, I'm afraid of what you're going to say, so I'm going first."

Lee laughed, tentatively though.

"Okay," Lee said.

"Okay. You know we've been friends for a long time, and we've known each other even longer."

"Yep."

"Well, I… I really…"

Just then Lee grabs her and kisses her with everything that he had.

"Me too."
