A/N: Sorry it's been a while since I last updated but everything's been very hectic but I finally get to settle down and possibly get something out that you guys might actually like. All my writing lately has been crappy. I'm hoping to finish this soon so if this chapter doesn't settle it then there will be one other chapter but I'm hoping to get everything done in this one. Let the fun begin! :)
Finally the end of school bell rang and I slowly gathered all of my stuff knowing there was no reason to rush. Walking toward my locker to put my books away I felt a hand curl around my arm and pull me to a halt. Turning to look at the person a slight growl left my throat and one came right back at me. I saw Jana's fiery red hair as I was pulled backwards and pushed into the dark room before I could ask what her problem was the door was slammed in my face.
"Hi." Whispered Shannon looking slightly frightened.
"Why are you here? What's going on?" I asked looking back and forth between her and Tom which was sitting behind her on the couch.
"Don't know Jana just pulled us in here, told us to stay and went and got you." She finished just as the door opened again and in came Jana and Maddy being pulled by her just like we were.
"What's goin..."
"Shut it!" Jana barked at me, then kept going, "Okay now look here this is going to end right here right now. Shannon tell Maddy that the rumors aren't true that I and he are going together."
"Maddy their not." Shannon simply said shaking her head, while Tom just kept quiet.
"Okay now Shannon you and Tom can leave. Maddy. Rhydian. You two will stay here." She ordered all of us and the only one who didn't want to listen was of course Maddy. When Madds tried to leave Jana pushed her back and growled at her.
"You two are going to stay here and talk this out!" Jana yelled before pushing Shannon and Tom out of the door she turned back to us. "Okay now Maddy starts because I have already heard Rhydian's side of the story."
She looked to Maddy and I looked to the floor because I knew what was coming next.
"You already know his side of the story? Really because I find that really shocking, not." Maddy hissed at Jana.
"Give me your keys." Jana demanded of both of us, holding her hands out looking back and forth while we reached into our pockets. "This door will stay locked until you guys stop fighting and start talking. When I hear you start talking I'll walk away to give you privacy and try and keep others away."
Maddy rolled her eyes at her while I just nodded, seeing our reactions she walked out the door and we heard the lock click. Looking at Maddy who was pacing the small room I decided the best place would be perched on the desk the computer sat on.
"So..." I tried to start but ended up just looking at the wall when she glared at me. I really don't like it when she was mad at me, I could handle it but I just dont like it.
"Okay you know what I'm tired of this. Especially when it wasn't even my idea!" I finally got the nerve up to say but the last part came out more of a shout. She turned to look at me then and finally sat down.
After taking a deep breath she asked,"What do you mean 'Not your idea'?"
"I mean it wasn't my idea to ask Jana to the dance. I didn't even wanna go. Especially when I heard about you and Dean going." I explained while looking down. She didn't say anything and I thought she was geering up to yell at me for something when I heard her whisper something.
"Huh?" I replied not hearing what she said even with my wolf hearing.
"What does Dean have to do with anything?" she asked me looking straight into my eyes.
"He has everything to do with it! I wanted to ask you to the dance! Then you accepted his invite and everyone was talking about it and saying how lucky you were!" I yelled finally getting something out.
"You wanted to ask me? Why didn't you?!" she asked a bit hostilly getting up again to which I slid off the desk.
"Because you were going with him! It was a bit too late." I replied.
"I like you. Okay? I like you a lot. Bordering on loving you. Possibly even more than that but what do I know? I'm a highschooler." I blurted not caring about her reaction anymore. I moved closer to her so that I was standing right in front of her looking down into her eyes.
"It wasn't too late. I could have told him I changed my mind. I can always tell him that I changed my mind..." She trailed off looking down at the floor instead of at me.
"Does that mean you'll go with me if I can get the nerve up to ask you? I mean I don't know if I can because that's something you can just blurt out." I responded grinning. Both of us were trying to not laugh although she released a few giggles anyway.
"There's a chance. IF you can ask me." she laughed.
Placing my arms around her waist I pulled her to me and leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Will you accompany me to the dance, Maddy?"
"Yyyes." she stuttered in reply while I chuckled. Then I pulled back a little and looked her in the eyes while leaning forward again, trying to guage whether she wanted it or not. Her eyes landed on my lips right before they landed on hers. I gave her a soft but hungry kiss and she responded just the same.
When we pulled away we were both grinning fools. She raised her eyebrows and walked to the door and raised her fist to start pounding on it.
"If she leaves us in here over night I'll kill her." She said while still pounding on the door.
"Will you ever actually like her?" I asked curiousity burning bright inside me.
"Oh I love her! Except when she tells me what to do and spends too much time with you." she said with a straight face then a smile burst onto her face. I pulled her into a hug and that's when we both heard a click and turned to look at the door.
"Well well your both alive. That's good I guess. Issues worked out?" Jana inquired.
"All thats gonna get worked out today, yes. We have a few that's never gonna get worked out." Maddy said while laughing. Then she did something that shocked us all, she pulled Jana into a hug and whispered into her ear, "Thank you."
Jana smiled, "Your welcome."
Jana went walking the opposite direction then us when we met up with Shannon and Tom.
"So? How's everything?" Tom asked looking at us both.
"Everythings fine." We answered in unison.
"OH! By the way all of you are invited to a movie night this weekend." I said out of the blue. I was about to throw my arm around Maddy when I remembered I wanted to talk to Tom.
"Tom can I talk to you for a minute. Over there." i said nodding back towards the doors. He nodded and we walked back while the girls kept on going.
"I have a suggestion for you. Dont feel like you have to do it just cause I brought it up. Since Shannon's going with Harry and Maddy and I are, finally, going to the dance together, why don't you ask Jana? That way we'll all be there." I suggested trying to read his face to guess his reaction. His eyebrows pulled together while he was thinking and then he smiled.
"I kinda wanted to ask her but she's a bit intimidating. Do you think she would go?" he asked me.
"Let's just say I have a good feeling about it." I stated smiling and laughing slightly. He nodded and looked towards the field looking for her. She was walking so it was taking her longer to get to the fence. He took off waving bye to me and I was smiling as I ran back to the girls.
"Hey!" I said when I caught up to them and wrapped my arm around Maddy to which they both smiled at.
"Where's Tom?" Shannon asked while Maddy just laughed obviously overhearing our conversation.
"He had something to do. Oh and if you guys are still getting together to get ready for the dance, you now have an extra girl to get ready." I informed them and they cheered.
Maddy and I said goodbye to Shannon and we took off into the woods and just like the morning the whole thing started we were chasing each other and tackling but it was a lot less ackward. When we made it to her house I told her I had to go straight home today to help with my brothers and she smiled.
She kissed me softly and hugged me around the waist laying her head on my shoulder next to my ear.
"I love you Rhydian." She murmurred knowing her parents would hear anything louder.
I growled low in my throat and squeezed her waist where my arms were wrapped harder before she pulled away.
"See ya tomorrow. Oh and make sure everyone comes this weekend! Includding Jana!" she yelled while running into the house with a smile on her face.
I had a feeling this weekend was going to be great. I started to run home with a smile on my face and making plans for snack food and sleeping arangments, knowing that Mrs. Vaughn would be more acceptable to having them all over if I had already planned it out to where it would work.
Okay that's it! It is now complete! I MIGHT consider doing the weekend part later on if anyone wants it but other than that this story is complete. Thank you guys so much for keeping up with it and encouraging me to write more. Thank you. :)
