FRIDAY AT SCHOOL:
It was Friday the day of the dance, there were posters all over the halls and everyone
seemed to be happy except for two people, Mike and Amanda. Mike perfectly avoided
Amanda all day that including hiding, running, and surprisingly jumping. Mike knew he
couldn't avoid her forever but he was gonna try his best and he was doing good ,until last
period that is. Mike walked into his Spanish class, the only class he had to sit by Amanda in.
He sighed knowing he couldn't just switch his seat, so he sat down." Ok class Today you will
be practicing your greetings with a partner, Only groups of three". The teacher said, as soon
as she was finished talking everyone picked their partners except Mike and Amanda." We'll I
guess we're partners". Mike said smiling at Amanda but she just stared at him with a blank
look on her face." If your still trying to avoid me your not doing a good job at It". Amanda
said in harsh tone of voice, Mike almost flinched. "Amanda it's not like that-." Mike Started
but then something caught his eye , it was Cameron walking through the classroom." We'll
seeing that there's only one group with two people, I guess you'll be in a group with Mike
and Amanda." The teacher stated sitting back at her desk. Cameron walked over and sat at
the desk beside them." Hey buddies." Cameron said with a devious smile, Mike rolled his
eyes." Amanda...I haven't seen you since 'The Accident' , so nice to see you". Cameron said
smiling , inching his hand towards hers." I was wondering when I should pick you up for the
dance later?." Cameron asked winking at her, Amanda looked at him like he was crazy." D-
did you hit your head to hard in the fight yesterday, I'm not going with you." Amanda said,
Cameron tilted his head to the side and chuckled." No seriously, what time?". Cameron
asked scooting closer to her." Hey Amanda can you trade me seats?". Mike asked through
Clenched teeth." You know what no Mike I won't". Amanda said turning to him, Mike was
shocked. "What, why I thought you were on my side". Mike complained , as Amanda rolled
her eyes." No I'm not on your side, I'm not on neither of your sides, because you both need
to grow up". Amanda said pointing to them both Accusingly. " Wait, the real point is Which
One of us is taking you to the dance tonight?". Cameron said and Mike nodded his wanting
to know. "You guys still don't get it do you? I'm not going with either of you!". Amanda
whispered/yelled at them as they both gaped. " Wait so your going with some other guy".
Mike Asked her."Ugh!". Amanda yelled then she raised her hand. " Yes Amanda?". The
teacher asked her. " May I go to the bathroom". Amanda asked as the teacher smiled and
nodded. Amanda grabbed her things and headed towards the door but before she did Mike
grabbed her wrist, not to tightly." Where are you going?, by the way you're a terrible liar,
no offense". Mike asked her worried that she'll do something she'll regret." Anywhere but
around you two". Amanda said and started to pry Mike's hand off of her wrist. "Mike, come
on let go". Amanda whispered/yelled trying her best to ignore the sparks she felt when they
touched." Amanda please just tell me where." Mike pleaded her, Amanda gave in." I'll be at
my locker." She whispered in his ear then walked out.
AFTER SCHOOL:
Mike was rushing down the hallways to Amanda's locker to ask Amanda to one question he
or Cameron didn't ask her in the classroom. When he finally reached her locker she was
leaning against looking really bored. " Amanda I know your mad at me but listen...". Mike
started but Amanda put her hand up to stop him." I don't want to hear any of your accuses
Mike". Amanda said to him and started to walk away but Mike followed. "Ok, ok but can you
do me one favor and answer like three questions for me?, that's all." Mike asked, Amanda
sighed." You have four minutes to ask three questions". Amanda said turning around more
to face him and crossing her arms over her chest." Ok... Well d-do you still love me?". Mike
asked rubbing the back of his neck." Yes of course Mike, I'll always love you even if I'm mad
at you". Amanda said smiling slightly at how Mike was nervous and shy around ONLY her."
We'll do you uh...do you still love Cameron?". Mike asked, as Amanda gaped. "Are you
Crazy? Mike why would I love him, he physically and mentally abused me, the only man I
love is you, but I'm having a hard time doing that these days". Amanda said truthfully, as
Mike looked up at her through sad eyes." W-Well your s-still going to the dance right?."
Mike asked as he frowned slightly." Yes Mike don't worry I'm going to the dance". Amanda
said then put that annoyed face on that Mike flinched at, because it was toward him." That
was your third question, I'm sorry but I have to go". Amanda said and walked away. Mike
smiled knowing exactly how to get Amanda back.
THE DANCE AT SCHOOL:
Mike was back stage very nervous, he just saw Amanda walk in and he gaped at how
Beautiful she looked. "Ok Mike your on in five minutes". The host of the dance said as he
Nodded. Mike walked off the stage towards the punch bowl. Mike saw Amanda at the punch
Bowl and opened his mouth to speak but she just rolled her eyes and walked away. "I guess
she's still mad at me for being too overprotective". Mike whispered to himself. " Ya think".
someone said behind him, Mike turned around to see Kelly." Kelly?, what are you doing here
I thought Owen was your date". Mike asked very confused." Well Owen couldn't make
It but that doesn't mean I couldn't". Kelly said a slight blush in her cheeks. "OH". Mike
Simply stated as Kelly rolled her eyes." Look I came here to tell you that.., Amanda
Deserves the best and even though I don't support this relationship thing you two have
Going on, I know that she truly loves You and by that kicked puppy look you have on your
Face, I know you, you truly love her too". Kelly said smiling at him and this time not in a
Sarcastic way like usual." Really, awe Kelly I knew you had a heart." Mike said smiling at
Her, then the host interrupted." Ok next we have Mike Fukunaga singing his own originally
Made song "critical". The Host said as Mike heard a loud gasp from the crowd, he didn't
Have to look to know who it was." Well break a leg and I mean that literally". Kelly said
Smiling, Mike smiled and headed towards the stage then stopped. "You know I just might
Do that if Amanda doesn't take me back". Mike said and winked then headed to the stage
Again grabbing his acoustic guitar and sitting on the stool in front of the mic. "Hey guys I'm
Mike and I'm singing this song for a special girl out there, you know who you are". Mike said
into the mic then started to sing/play.
There's a storm coming up and I gotta prepare myself.
'Cause this feeling's
getting stronger everyday.
Something's creeping inside
everything is about to change.
Gotta face the facts
that I can't walk away.
This is critical,
I'm feeling helpless.
So hysterical, this can't be healthy.
I can't eat or sleep
when you're not with me.
Baby, you're the air breath.
This is critical, yeah.
So stuck on you.
Used to have everything figured out
but it's different now.
When you came, you saw
you conquered my heart.
It's your laugh and your smile;
wanna stay for a little while.
I don't wanna go,
I just want you in my arms.
This is critical,
I'm feeling helpless.
So hysterical, this can't be healthy.
I can't eat or sleep
when you're not with me.
Baby, you're the air breath.
This is critical, yeah.
So stuck on you.
Used to run and hide.
Used to bend our love.
But I can't escape this time.
Oh no.
This is critical,
I'm feeling helpless.
So hysterical, this can't be healthy.
I can't eat or sleep
when you're not with me.
You're the air breath.
This is critical, yeah.
Baby it's so critical,
it's so critical, yeah.
It's so critical,
it's so critical, yeah.
Mike finished his song looking into Amanda's eyes the whole time. Everyone clapped as he
went backstage set his guitar down but as soon as he did that he saw Amanda run up him
and she hugged him, squeezing him tight. " Amanda I'm so sorry for being so
overprotective and jealous, I'm sorry for everything please forgive me". Mike pleaded letting
go of her, looking into her eyes. Amanda smiled through teary eyes." Of course I forgive
you Mike, I love you, and anyway I think it really hot when your mad.".Amanda smiled and
hugged him again but Mike let go again, blushing." Well I was wondering I-if you w-would
maybe want t-to-". Mike started nervously rubbing the back of his neck but Amanda cut him
off." Yes Mike I will be your girlfriend". Amanda said and smiled brightly as Mike out of relief
let out a deep breath." And thank you for the song, I didn't even know you could sing or
play guitar, your good". Amanda said to him as Mike blushed. "Yea but I really couldn't have
done it without Kelly and her ' My best friend deserves the best' speech". Mike said laughing
in remembrance." Kelly? wait she talked to you, she doesn't even like you". Amanda said
looking very confused, with a slight look of amusement." Well yea but she'll do anything for
her best friend, you know your lucky to have her as a best friend like her". Mike said
laughing along with her." Yea I guess your right, but speaking of best friends where's
Owen?, he's been missing for like two days". Amanda said raising her eyebrows and tilting
her head to the side." The last time I called he said he was sick". Mike said then snorted.
"Probably came down with 'Snitching your best friends secrets' fever". Mike said laughing as
he and Amanda started to walk towards the school exit holding hands as Amanda lightly
punched his arm." Be nice". She fake scolded him, giggling." Aww you know you love me".
Mike said smiling and wrapping his arm around her shoulders." I know". Amanda said
giggling and smiling back.
