Shall We Dance
Part Seven
As days came and went, the night of Prom came closer. Within those days, Coraline had introduced Josh to her parents; who were happy to meet the boy from the school. Wybie on the other hand, had felt a strong sadness and loneliness take over him. When the night of Prom came, Wybie sat in his room; thinking of what Coraline had told him before.
He wasn't what he could do anymore. Even though Coraline began to like Josh more and more, Wybie still couldn't bring himself to do the same. Wybie had felt a deep sadness when he had gotten the news that Coraline had been asked to Prom by Josh; one of the last people he would've ever want to see Coraline with.
Wybie wasn't jealous; not in the least. It was the fact that he didn't trust Josh one bit. Soon, Wybie glanced down at the black cat beside him on the bed. Wybie smiled a bit and began to stroke the cat's fur. Cat purred as Wybie then began to scratch his ears.
"Why is this so hard?" Wybie asked as he looked up at the creamy white ceiling above him. "I mean, me and Jonesy have been friends for nearly forever,"
Cat looked up at him as he spoke.
"And now I've been getting this extremely weird but warm feeling." He continued. "Every time I'm around her I get this unusually happy feeling."
Wybie paused for a brief moment. Soon, he sighed.
"But she really likes this Josh kid," He continued on. "If I went there and told her how I felt, she'd probably think I was a total jerkwad."
Wybie slumped over; bringing his knees to his chest. Seeing this, Cat approached him and began to rub himself against his shoulder. Glancing up, Wybie looked over at Cat and began to stroke him again.
"Yeah, at least you believe me." Wybie smiled, stroking Cat's fur. "But I guess, Jonesy would be happier with him than with me."
Just then, the cat sprung to his feet; his midnight black fur standing on end.
"What is it?" Wybie asked.
The cat jumped down from Wybie's bed and rushed out the door. Wybie rose from the bed. After getting his jacket and shoes, he rushed outside. After what seemed like a long time, Wybie soon reached the woods near the Pink Palace; which was full of wild cherry blossoms; their soft, violet petals drifting down from the branches high above him. Soon, Wybie slowed to a stop near one of the trees and got off. Soon, he say the cat; sitting near the stump; which marked where the well had been built. It was then that he realized the horrible truth.
The wooden boards of the well had been thrown carelessly to the side. Large claw-like marks were engraved into the soft earth. Knowing what needed to be done, Wybie quickly got on his bike, and took off toward the gymnasium; the one place he knew he could find her before it was too late.
