Shall We Dance

Part Five

After the long ride, the twosome soon made it to the Pink Palace. Wybie slowed to a stop near the front porch; like he usually did, and Coraline got off. Her beige boots made a soft thump as they hit the coble stone walkway.

"Thanks, Wybie." Coraline smiled.

"No problem, Jonesy." Wybie grinned, a bit worried.

Coraline frowned as she saw him distressed.

"Wybie, is something wrong?" She asked.

"Wrong? Oh no, no; nothing's wrong." Wybie replied, shaking his head. "Everything's fine."

Coraline looked at him with concern in her eyes. Soon Wybie sighed as he turned away.

"Well, maybe it is something." He admitted as he sat on the porch.

"What is it?" Coraline asked, sitting down beside him; placing her hand on his shoulder.

Wybie turned to look at her; but soon turned away again.

"Well..." Wybie began. "It's... That... Josh kid." He finished finally.

Soon, he looked up at her again.

"There's something about him I..." Wybie paused. "Something just doesn't feel right."

"Oh Wybie," Coraline began, still with a frown. "You're worried because he might step in and ruin our friendship?"

Wybie could feel it was something more than that; but nodded. Coraline sighed.

"Wybie, I know you probably don't like him," Coraline said "But he seems like a nice guy."

"Looks can be deceiving, Coraline." Wybie argued; slumping and resting his head on his knees.

"Wybie, you're being ridicules," Coraline replied, shaking her head.

"How am I being ridicules?" Wybie asked. "I'm just worried that something might happen."

"Nothing's going to happen, Wybie," Coraline argued, becoming a bit upset.

Soon, she sighed.

"Look, everything's going to be fine," Coraline said; before standing again. "You'll see."

Soon, Coraline went inside; leaving Wybie on the porch. After the door closed, Wybie sighed and stood up as well. Then, after a moment, Wybie went to his bike. He placed on his helmet before revving the engine and drove off. After what seemed like a long ride, Wybie made it home.

Turning off his bike, took it to a resting spot against the old fence of the tennis court. Removing his helmet, he sighed. Just then, he heard a soft noise near his feet. Wybie glanced down to see a well aged black cat with silky fur and icy blue eyes which seemed to gleam like diamonds.

"Hey, buddy," Wybie smiled as he stooped sown and stroked the cat's midnight fur. "How was your day?"

The nameless cat gazed at him as if wondering why he had asked.

"My day was fine," Wybie replied, as if starting a regular conversation. "Me and Jonesy met up with this weird kid named Josh."
The cat gave Wybie an odd look.

"I know, I'm probably just getting ahead of myself," Wybie said, as he continued to scratch the cat's ears. "But there's just something about him..." Wybie paused for a moment. "I don't trust him."

After a moment, Cat began to lick Wybie's hand; and Wybie smiled.

"Thanks Cat," Wybie smiled.

Soon, Wybie stood again.

"Maybe Coraline's right," He said. "Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way."

Cat seemed to nod as if to agree with him. As Wybie entered the house, Cat took a moment; and took off toward the woods.
