Here's how we see Jojo, Stephen and the Mosley boys gear up for the dance. Plus, Jonah unveils his right eye fully exposed after hiding it from his hair.
Chapter 8: Ready for the Dance
Back at the McDodd house, Jonah, Cyrus, Hawk, Sam, Travis, Stephen and Jojo were all gearing up for the valentine's day dance. There was barely any anxiety going through them as this is the Mosley's first dance and Stephen's first as well. Jojo felt a little less than nervous about the event, because he wanted to see his brothers happy and also to see what it would be like. Jojo came out of his room with a little bow tie on his neck and went downstairs, but not before Sally and Ned look at Jojo with his little bow tie.
"Look at our son with his bow tie!" Ned exclaims.
"Don't you look cute?" asked Sally.
Jojo scoffs in embarassment and asked, "Really?"
"Well, you look nice. Don't you want to look nice for your date?"
"What's wrong with what I am now?"
"Jojo, you remind me so much of myself when I was your age when I went to my first valentine's day dance." Ned said, straightening his bow tie.
"Please not that story again." Jojo groaned.
"It was the night I met your mother at that dance."
"Ned...let's not bring this up. What your father's trying to say is...we met, we danced, we kissed and the rest is history." Sally said.
"Right. And it's not a date. It's just a little dance for valentine's day." Jojo explains.
"Okay, son. We understand."
Soon, Jonah came downstairs with his bow tie and his hair a little combed with his right eye showing. Sally looked at Jonah and said, "Don't you look nice?"
"Yeah, if you like that sort of thing." Jonah said.
"I see you're finally exposing your right eye to us. Straightened your hair, I see." Ned said, smiling.
"Yeah, pretty much. It's only one night and by tomorrow, it'll be back to where it always is."
"That's understable."
Then, Stephen, Hawk, Cyrus, Travis and Sam came downstairs looking a little groomed up with their bow ties and Ned and Sally couldn't stop thinking about how cute they looked. Sally then said, "I've got to get a camera for this."
"I'll help you look, dear." Ned said, gleefully.
Jojo groans softly and rolled his eyes a little and said, "Well, it's no big deal. AT least we look...decent."
"True." Stephen said.
Travis noticed Jonah's right eye was fully exposed and said, "Jonah...you're showing your right eye?"
Jonah turned around and said, "Well, yeah. Mom told me to straighten my hair a little, especially with my hair covering my right eye. It's only one night, so I guess I should just make the most of it and kinda look presentable."
"Seriously?"
"Nah, not really. I decided to just pull this off for one night and it'll be back where it's always at."
"Good point." Hawk said.
"Everyone nervous at all?" asked Cyrus.
"Sorta." Stephen said.
"I am." Travis said.
"Why?"
"I didn't really expect all of this to happen."
"Well, things like this happen for a reason and the only important thing is to just have some fun." Jojo said.
"I guess you're right."
Minutes later, Ned and Sally came back with the camera and both of them wanted to make this look perfect, so all the boys stood together and both Ned and Sally took their picture. After that, they headed to the dance and Sally said, "Don't stay out too late."
"Okay!" Jojo said.
When they started walking across the sidewalk, Jonah then puts some of his hair back to his right eye until they get to the school. Jojo turns to Jonah and sees that he's back to the right eye covering. He chuckled and said, "Thought you were gonna let this go for one night."
"It's only until we get in the school." Jonah said.
"To tell you the truth, I thought you were gonna let it stay like this forever."
"Nah, it's how I am. I can have my hair neat and unkempt at the same time."
"Ohh...so, you like the way your hair is now, with your right eye covered?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Cool."
Just then, Mike, Cody, Frankie, Max and Manny walked alongside them in another sidewalk and as they saw them walking, Mike called out, "Ready for an awesome time tonight?"
"Yeah, we are." Jojo replied.
"Cool!"
"I have a feeling that this will be a night to remember."
"As long as don't have to look over-the-top presentable. I hate that." Hawk said.
"Agreed."
Be honest. Do you Like Jonah better with or without his right eye exposed with his fringe hair covering his right eye? Anyway, the moment we all waited for-the dance! Coming up next chapter!
