Time for Chapter 7! Once again sorry it took so long. This story is turning out longer then I intended. Anyways you know the drill. REVIEW :). Thank you.

"Oh my god, I can totally not believe the dance is TODAY!" Zoe heard some girls talking to one another. She normally would be all excited too, but she hadn't been too happy lately. She wasn't exactly sure why. Maybe it was the fact that Takuya had been acting really strange around her recently. What was up with him? He stopped wanting to hang out with her, he rarely even talked to her, and was just avoiding any contact with her in general. She had no idea why.

This was just like the time when they got back from the digital world. Everything was fine between them, in fact they were getting really close to each other, but then all of a sudden Takuya just didn't want to be around her anymore. He didn't even try to make the effort of getting to know any of her new friends that she made. Did he just get bored of her? That was probably it.

"Takuya!" Zoe ran ahead to catch up to Takuya who was walking in front her.
"Oh, Zoe. Hi." he said forcing a smile. She wanted to ask him why he had been acting so weird, but she decided not to.
"So, the dance is tonight. Are you excited?"
"No, not really."
"Why not?"
"I don't think I'll be going." he said staring at the ground. What would he do at the dance? Stand in the corner alone while he watched Zoe and her new friend, Lucas, together? Yeah, he'd have a better time at home, thank you very much.
"What? Why? You have to come! It's not going to be same with out you." she said sadly. Her saying that made him feel a little better.
"Alright. I'll go." he said, with a hint of happiness in his voice. He was glad to hear that she still wanted him there.

Tell me again why I decided to come? Takuya thought to himself as he walked through the gym doors. He nearly tripped over his over-sized dress shoes, which his mother insisted he wore.
"Zoe is not going to want to dance with you in those dirty, old sneakers, Takuya!"
"Mom, me and Zoe... are just friends."
"Really? So why do you have a picture of you and her together, under your pillow?" His cheeks turned bright red.
"Mom! I told you not to go through my stuff!"

Bad techno music blasted against Takuya's ear drums. It's not too late to leave, and never look back. He thought.
"Takuya, there you are!" he heard Zoe's voice.
"Zoe, hi! Oh wow, you look... amazing." he said to her. Her knee-length purple dress made her look like a movie star.
"Thanks. So do you. Nice shoes by the way." she smiled. Takuya laughed embarrassedly.
"So, did you come here by yourself?" he asked.
"No, Lucas picked me up. He's in the bathroom right now. I swear, he has at least like five pounds of hair gel on." she joked.
"Oh, right, Lucas, of course. Almost forgot about him." he muttered under his breath. "Ok, well I'm going to walk around, you know, admirer the decorations, and such." Takuya said and walked away. Zoe watched him leave.
"Oh-kay, um bye?" Zoe said to her self.
Great, he's doing it again. Takuya can't stand to be around me. Am I really that boring?

"Would you like some punch, my good man?" a boy named Sid asked Takuya. Sid had a mischievous grin on face.
"No, thanks. I've had bad experiences with punch." Takuya said, remembering his junior high flashbacks. Sid shrugged and walked away and began asking other people if they wanted punch. Takuya's eyes roamed around the gym. He spotted Zoe and Lucas dancing together, looking like they were having a good time.

"Zoe, I'm getting kind of thirsty. I'm going to get a drink. Do you want anything?" Lucas asked Zoe over the loud music.
"Nah, I'm good. Plus I don't trust anything Sid's been near." Lucas laughed then left to get some punch. Zoe started looking around while she waited for Lucas to come back. She saw Takuya. He had been standing alone in that same spot for practically the whole dance. He had been staring at her the whole time too. The moment he saw her looking at him, he quickly glanced away. Ok, this was it, she needed to find out what was wrong with him. She began to walk towards him.

Takuya looked up and saw Zoe coming towards him. He looked behind him in case it was some one else she was walking to. He started getting nervous. He didn't like seeing Zoe with other guys, and whenever he got jealous, a lot of stupid things would come out of his mouth. Oh crap. Why is she coming here? Ok, just turn around and pretend like you didn't see her.

"Takuya? Where're you going?" she asked. Turns out Takuya's reaction time is very slow, and he managed to turn around when she was right in front of him.
"Oh, hello Zoe. Didn't see you there." he laughed nervously. Zoe had a confused expression on her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but just then Lucas came over.
"Zoe, you have got to try this punch. It's incredible." Lucas said, gulping down the juice. Sid walked over to them and grinned.
"I spiked the punch." he whispered to Takuya. "Goodie-two-shoes Lucas here won't know what hit him." Sid winked and carried on offering people more punch.

Takuya smiled. Finally something is going right.
