Heyyum everyone! Terribly sorry for not updating in awhile! I made this chapter pretty long to try and make up for it xP

Now I figured, shorter chapters equals more frequent updates. A lotta people have short but frequent stories and updates. So I think I might go with that. Tell me what you think in the review! I'm thinking of changing the story name too! Tell me in the review what you think!!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except plot and some characters.

Chapter 5

Holiday Dance

"Oh the weather outside is frightful!" I started singing as I strode down the hall with Pony, Naomi, and Aaron.

"And so is your voice!" Naomi finished by cutting me off.

"Hey! Ya wanna say that to my face?!?" I turned, jokingly pushing her away.

"That's your face? I thought you just had bad skin!" She retorted, also joking.

"At least I'm all natural!" I insulted. Of course we're all natural, we're humans!

"Oh, you want a piece of me?"

"No, honey I want the whole thing!"

We were about to pounce on each other and claw each other's eyes out but Pony and Aaron held us back.

"Are you trying to get in trouble?" they asked us.

"Nahh, just trying to have fun," I said as I cracked my knuckles. Naomi then glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Hey, it's Evie's locker time; we gotta give her birthday presents!" She said.

"Oh yeah!" With that, we walked away from the boys, discussing what presents we got her and what make up color she looked best in.

"…What just happened?" Pony asked Aaron.

"Girls… you can't understand them."

In class, everyone was getting hyped up for the holiday dance. All the girls were talking about what to wear and the guys, I dunno, probably how to dance. Even our teacher joined our conversation about which shoes were best for looking good and for partying.

"High heels are so out! Sneakers too!"

"And it's way too cold for flip flops…."

"Ballet flats! Those are the best!" Naomi finally said. She modeled them off for us and we all agreed.

Meanwhile, the guys were discussing matters most important.

"Ha, mine's bigger than yours!"

"No way, how do you even know? I'm covering mine up!"

"Everyone here is…."

"No one asked you! As I was saying, yours is small and ugly!"

"It's brown like yours!"

"No, mine is red and isn't caked in mud!"

"It looks like blood!"

"It's a flower, why would there be blood on a flower?!"

-Girls Table-

The teacher had walked away to make sure the boys were drawing what they were supposed to.

"So girls, who are you taking to the dance?" Sandy asked. She wasn't in our grade, but she was making up a test and it was her lunch period. "I'm goin' with Sodapop!"

"You're so lucky! I would kill to go with someone as gorgeous as him! Like, eye candy alert!" a few girls who were hopelessly head over heels for Pony's older brother squealed. I must admit, he is gorgeous, but I'm a teenager!

"I'm goin' with Two-Bit!" That was Cathy. She was a keeper, Two-Bit better not leave her.

"Heh, I wonder how he's gonna smuggle his drinks in this time…." The girls all giggled, remembering the last dance.

It was the Halloween Dance and Two-Bit went as a very… large lady. He stuffed his mother's blouse with beer cans but couldn't figure out how to wear his mother's 'contraptions.' He hooked them wrong and while he was dancing, they fell out!

I think that new kid thought he was a real girl. He looked awful embarrassed because he was just about to ask Two-Bit to dance!

Ah… good times, good times.

"Doodoododoo! I dunno the words!" I attempted to sing at the dance. Yes, I actually made it to the dance! On the way here, I fell over a bush and these little kids were building dirt castles behind it! I kinda squashed them, with my hand thankfully, so I could brush the dirt off. But the kiddies got kinda mad me. And threw dirt at me. But it's all good now. It's all good. Scanning the room, I spotted Pony and Johnny over by the snack table.

"Hey, anyone want any punch?" I asked my friends. Larissa wanted some, and she was chatting with Aaron so I went to get her some –and maybe talk to Johnny!-

At the punch table, I grabbed two drinks knowing they weren't spiked. Two-Bit doesn't get drunk enough at school to do that and there were two teachers standing guard. Sheena came up to me excitedly and began to tell me something.

"Like, did you know what happened with R-…" She started. But then someone came up from behind and shoved me. Again.

"ACKKKK!!!" she screamed. Oops. I accidentally spilled both cups of red punch on her also originally red shirt.

"You friggin…." She angrily stuttered as she reached for a cup of punch while I attempted numerous apologizies.

All of a sudden, the teacher chaperones dragged all us students to the middle of the gym dance floor. The DJ put two moving lights on and moved them around.

"All right folks! It' time for involuntary karaoke!" He sang. Murmurs and complaints went through the crowd.

"What is this? Some sort of high school musical?!" I asked Johnny, who appeared standing next to me.

"Damn, I hope the light don't land on me," he said just so I could hear him. As he said that, the light stopped moving. Above him. And me.

NO!

We both somehow got pulled up to the stage and stared out nervously to the crowd that started to laugh. The two least likely people were going to sing a duet for the whole school!

"Hey Johnny, ask for Mr. Sandman, it's super short and you only hafta say one word!" I anxiously whispered to him. The lights dimmed and brightened on us as the music began to start.

"Mr. Sandman!"

"Yes?"

"Bring me a dream! Make him the cutest that I've ever seen!"

I wasn't too sure of the words, so I kinda made it up as we went along. What kind of karaoke doesn't have the lyrics for you?!?

Finally we were done! People actually started clapping but I think it was because I put on a good show of dancing and hopping around. I really hope that no one important saw.

Screw that idea, the whole school saw! At least I'm raised on the popularity list; I'm not that bad of a singer I must say.

The dance was half over and a fun dance-y tune came up. I'm not too keen on the name, but it's real popular. I finally mustered enough courage to ask Johnny to dance even though I'm not too great of a dancer, really.

"Hey Johnny," I started. That's all I got to because these two boys I know from class were fighting a few feet away real loud. And because I got pushed into the wall, shoved, and punched in the head until I heard screaming and my world faded to black.

Cliffhanger! Watcha think?! Tell me in your review! And do you think I put too many brackets?!?!?
