Chapter 3: The Dance

Seven Hours Later

Kim and Kam's mom drove Kim, Kam, and Lizzie to the dance. As they walked out of the car, they saw all of the children dressed up like they were at a celebrity's birthday party. When they got in the school, there were decorations all over the hallways. There was one sign that said "Welcome to the party". As they went further, there was another sign that said "Wait, I changed my mind! Thou shall not pass!" Another one said "Don't go in! It's a madhouse!" When they finally got to the door to the gym, the sign said "We hope you enjoy the party/madhouse."

When they opened the door to the gym, the music was so loud that the guy with the teddy bear in space was yelling "Keep it down over there!"

They saw all of their friends who were nicely dressed

Lil'D normally wasn't formal, but he wanted to look nice for Madison, so he wore his tux he wore for the black and white ball, but not with the mustache and the tiny hat. He also wore his hat that he only wears it on special occasions (like when Sunny was in concert in Japan).

Tamika wore the same black and white dress she wore to the black and white ball (I mean, what other dress does she have).

Eddie also wore a tux, but with Lil'D's tiny hat since he wasn't wearing it.

Philly Phil didn't have a tux, but he wanted to be formal, so he painted one of his jumpsuit black.

Kam also wore a tux (just so you know, not every guy at the dance wore a tux. Just these guys because they wanted to look nice for some reason) but with a big hat. Kind of like the one that Abraham Lincoln wore.

I already mentioned what Kim and Lizzie wore in the first chapter, but I'll describe what they wore anyway.

Kim's sparkles on her shirt sparkled like a disco ball. Lizzie's outfit was covered with bright colors. If you looked at her right now you'd probably think of a sunny day.

"Hey guys!" Kim, Kam, and Lizzie said at the same time.

"Hi." Every one said. You couldn't really hear Philly Phil since his face was stuffed with cookies and chips

Minutes later, Madison showed up. Her dress looked like a purple, long-sleeved version of Cinderella's dress with flowers on the bottom.

"Hi." Madison said to Lil'D

"Hi." said Lil'D

It was the way she they both said "hi" that really bugged Kim.

"Jes, let's, how you kids say, boogie till dawn!" said Principal (or for the night 'DJ') Luna.

Everyone, how principal Luna said "got on the dance floor" and danced like crazy to the song "Every Time We Touch".

Kim kept looking at Lil'D and Madison the whole time. Lizzie was starting to worry about all of this.

"Are you jealous about Lil'D and Madison?" asked Lizzie

"Me, jealous? Why do you ask?"

"Because I haven't seen someone's face that red since my aunt Petunia gave birth to my cousin Stephanie."

"Okay, so I'm a little jealous. You would be too if your best friend went out with the guy you like."

"I would be, if she knew I liked him. Kim, you know that Madison didn't know you liked him! She would feel the exact same way if Lil'D asked you out and said yes."

Kim looked like she was going to say something, but she didn't.

"Yeah you have the right to be jealous, yeah you have the right to be upset, but you can't be mad at or blame Madison, your best friend, on this."

Kim's face wasn't red any more, it was pale. Every word out of Lizzie's mouth was 100 true.

"I'll be right back." said Kim.

Kim looked for Madison everywhere to apologize.

How could I do that to Madison? she thought.

She saw Madison go to the bathroom. She walked in and saw Madison fixing her makeup.

"Hey, Madison." said Kim.

"Oh, hey Kim."

"Are you having fun?"

"Yeah, Lil'D's a really a good dancer. He does tend to show off sometimes though."

"You really like him, don't you?"

"If I didn't, I would be in this dress. I mean, people don't really define me as smart, but he really doesn't care. Don't you think that's special?"

Kim grinned.

"Defiantly. You defiantly deserve him."

"Yeah."

"I hope you have a great time the rest of the dance."

"Okay"

As Kim walked out, she realized something: she needed to face the fact that Lil'D liked Madison. She could have lost a friend over a boy! She rushed back to the gym to apologize for the hat thing. At least Lil'D could still be her friend. She saw Lil'D going into the storage room. If she knew him, he was going to pull a prank to make the dance more, "interesting" as Lil'D put it.

She opened the door. It was dark. She didn't want to turn the lights on because she didn't want to attract attention and get her and Lil'D in trouble. The door slammed shut but the music was so loud no one could hear it.

"Lil'D, I-" Before Kim could finish her sentence, Lil'D kissed her!

Kim enjoyed this but at the same time wanted to hit him like Tamika did. She quickly turned the lights on. Once Lil'D had realized what he had done, he quickly pushed Kim away and they both screamed.
