-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Zack, Nathaniel, Joshua, Rory, and Jacob were hanging out at the mall that Thursday after school. They were lucky enough to get some time off to get things ready before homecoming on Saturday. Zack noticed Jacob rambling about having to find a tie that perfectly matched Sean's dress. Nathaniel grins and assures him that he is worrying for nothing.
"So Rory, who are you going with?" Joshua asks.
"Aren't your going with Ally?" Zack asks.
Rory looks up from his drink at their table, "What makes you think I am going with Ally?"
Zack looks at Rory, "Well you've been saying how you had a date- we just assumed it was Ally." He says.
Rory sighs, "If she wanted me she would have stay singled by the dance- instead she said she had a date so I had to lie to say I had a date." Rory said and shook his head.
Jacob gazed at the Irish kid, "You really like her?"
Rory glanced at Jacob, "Mate I deeply love her. There is no girl I'd rather spend my time with than Ally, sure she is strange but she is unique." He says.
Joshua glanced at Rory, "Dude she has the hots for you."
Rory shakes his head, "No she doesn't."
Jacob nudges Rory, "Listen man- Sean mentioned how Ally doesn't have a date. She only said it to you because she was afraid you'd already have a date." Jacob said.
Rory's mouth dropped, "What?"
Jacob nods, "Dude call her and ask her." He says.
Rory smiles and nods, "I'll be right back guys."
Rory gets up and runs outside to get service to call Ally. Then Nathaniel and Jacob turned their attentions to the Purple and Red Ranger with a confused look.
"So who are you two taking?" Nathaniel asks
"Or are you two going together?" Jacob teased.
Joshua shakes his head, "I just got a date before the end of the school day. You know Jessica West, she's my date." Joshua said.
"Jessica West? You're taking Jessica West?" Nathaniel was speechless.
Joshua nods, "Yeah she just broke up with her boyfriend from Glendale Central and I asked her. Then she said yes."
Jacob nods, "Nice."
Jessica West was known to be a very wealthy girl not to mention very pretty. She does some minor modeling but also has been in a few commercials, mostly for local things but has been in one big commercial where she did land herself with an acting manger. Jessica West usually doesn't date guys for long, so Joshua knows that after the homecoming their "relationship" will be over.
Nathaniel turns to Zack, "What about you?" Nathaniel asks.
Zack shrugs, "Don't have a date."
"What?" The twins said.
Zack nods, "I- don't think I am going." Zack said.
"Why not?" Nathaniel asks.
Zack stands up, "I don't want to get into it. Besides, I gotta go." Zack said.
Zack gets up and leaves the table, by that time Rory had been running over all happy. Likely Ally and him are going to homecoming together. Zack placed his hands in his pants pockets and sighed as he walked toward the exit where he parked his car. Once he reached the parking lot, he noticed a girl having some car troubles. She had the hood up and she was leaning forward trying to figure out what was wrong. Zack thought that he should help her out, so he walked over to her.
"Everything alright?" Zack asks.
She turns to him, "Huh?"
Zack was starstruck. This girl had jet black hair to her jawline, bright blue eyes, pale complexion, skinny, and about average height. She wore an orange shirt with holes in it with the printed word REBEL on, underneath her shirt was a black sports bra, black skinny jeans, and black high tops.
"I was asking if everything is alright?" He asks.
She brushes some hair behind her ear, "No- I mean yes. I don't know, I mean it can't be the battery I just got a new one." She says.
"Can I?" He asks.
She steps back, "By all means." She says.
Zack stepped under the hood and looked at the engine and all the parts under the hood. He checked on the oil and then saw she was low. He turned to her and told her to hold on, he ran to his truck. He reached in the bed for a bottle of oil, he ran back to her car where he helped her add some oil to the car. She turned to him and had a faint smile on her face.
"Thanks," She says.
"No trouble," He says, "I'm Zack Calvin."
"The quarterback, Zack Calvin?" She asks.
He nods, "Do I know you?" He asks.
"Probably not. I mean we only had one class together and that was freshmen year." She says.
"Well tell me your name, and maybe I might remember." He says.
She smiles a little flustered, "It's Roxanne Dennis." She says.
"Roxxy?" He asks.
Roxanne looked at Zack a bit shocked, "You remembered me?"
He nods, "Yeah. Freshmen world history with Mr. Anderson."
Roxanne smiles, "Yeah."
There was a moment of silence until Zack says, "So I should let you go- you know get last minute homecoming things done."
She shakes her head, "I'm not going."
"What?" Zack asks.
"No one asked, so I'm not going." She says.
Zack looks at her more seriously, "Want to go to the dance with me?" He asks.
Roxanne looks at him, "Are you kidding?" She asks.
Zack shakes his head, "No. I'm not." He said.
Roxanne smiles, "Sure. What the heck." She smiles wider.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Anya was in her apartment, going through some old things with the help of Zara and Terra. The two girls volunteered to help out while Sean was being dragged with Ally and her step-mother for last minute homecoming shopping. Anya was getting rid of things that she doesn't need anymore and the two teens thought it would be nice to help out.
Zara found a box in a closet in the very back, "Anya what's this?"
Anya peaked out from the kitchen to see Zara coming out with it, "Oh that's from my homecoming. All sorts of photos and my fake flowers I wore, including my ticket to the dance." Anya said.
Terra looked at Anya, "I thought you went to college early?" Terra asks as Anya opened the box.
Anya nods, "I did but this kid I would have graduated with asked me to the dance." Anya said.
Zara looks at the photos, "Wow you looked pretty."
Anya smiles, "Thanks Zara." Anya says.
The photo of Anya had her with long hair, braided with gems in it, she wore a black short dress that showed off her curves. Her date looked dorky though, but the two seemed to be happy even if they were friends or if they were dating at the time. Anya was flipping through the photos and stopped at one.
"Want to see something?" Anya asks.
Zara and Terra leaned toward Anya to see she was holding a photo of Lucas and his date to homecoming. Zack looked just like him it was scary. Terra glanced at the photo and had to double check if it was him, but seeing that the date on the photo did not say 2015 she knew it wasn't Zack.
"Whoa," Zara said.
Anya nods, "Well we better get back to work." Anya snaps herself out of her trance of the past.
Anya stands after grabbing the box, she takes it to her bedroom. Terra and Zara exchanged looks as the women left the two in the living room going through some stuff of Anya's. Anya remain in her bedroom as she was cleaning out her closet and so it left Terra to talk to Zara one on one like she's been wanting to.
"So you'll be at our homecoming on Saturday?" Terra asks.
Zara kept her eyes on the papers she was organizing, "Yeah. Are you?" Zara asks.
Terra nods, "I'm going with my friend Charlie." She says.
Zara smiles faintly, "That's sweet." Zara said.
Terra stopped working on the mess in front of them to ask, "So what was it like?"
Zara looked up now, "Pardon?"
"What was it like being the younger ranger?" Terra asks.
Zara frowned, "It was difficult kid mostly how I joined the team." She says.
Terra watched Zara turn her gaze back to the mess, "Zane told us. I was just curious- I mean I am the kid on the team and it seems even though I may be a great ranger sometimes they see me as a kid still." Terra said.
Zara placed important papers of Anya's in a folder and turned to Terra, "That tends to happen with being the youngest."
Terra groaned, "But I want to be like you. So much more attitude and so much more confidence."
Zara turned her attention to Terra, "You want to be like me?" She asks.
Terra nods, "Yes!"
Zara placed a hand on Terra's shoulder, "Don't. It's better on you and everyone if you remain true to yourself." Zara said.
Terra nods slowly, "Oh."
Zara smiles, "But it flatters me that you really want to be like me." Zara said.
Terra smiles, "Well because you're cool." Terra said.
Zara shakes her head, "Come on Terra let's get this done."
Terra nods, "Right!"
And with that said the two girls continued their work for Anya in her apartment.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
It was Saturday, the day of the homecoming. Everyone grades nine through twelve arrived with their dates and even parents to take so many pictures of their children before they entered the school's gym for the dance. Standing by the front door was Jacob and Sean.
Sean was wearing a golden short dress that shinned and was skin tight, her footwear was a slight heel. Sean's hair was pulled back in the most beautiful manner, with light make-up on to make her eyes pop. Jacob was wearing a black suit with a golden like box tie, his hair was brushed back and out of his face.
"Where is Josh?" Sean asks.
Jacob shrugged looking at his watch, "I don't know."
Suddenly they hear, "Jake! Sean!"
Looking up they see Joshua with his date Jessica West. Joshua wore a suit identical to Jacob's but his tie was hot pink. Jessica had her blonde hair pulled back with a braid wrapped around her hair, her make-up was enough to look like she was off to a photo shoot. Her dress looked like it cost lot of money, it was a skin tight pink dress with one sleeve.
"Wow, Josh you look handsome and Jessica- wow you're beautiful." Sean says.
Jessica nods, "Yeah whatever. So, Josh let's go inside." Jessica ordered.
Joshua nods, "Right. I'll see you guys inside." He says.
Jacob watched his brother being pulled into the school, "He always picks a winner." Jacob joked.
Suddenly walking over was Ally and Rory. Ally wore a pink dress with black dots all over it, with her hair curly and her make-up made her look like she was some model. Rory wore a suit similar to Jacob's but with a pink box tie, his hair was usual but had small pink streak in it.
"Whoa, you have pink in your hair!" Jacob said.
Rory nods, "I wanted to look like Ally but I couldn't go through with dying all my hair."
Ally smiles, "He's apart of the deviance club now." She giggles.
Sean smiles, "Well you both look amazing." Sean said.
"Let's get inside. I hear Nathaniel and Zara are here, not to mention Terra with her date and Zack." Ally said.
Jacob looked puzzled, "Zack came?"
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Inside the gym the teens were dancing to the sound of the pop music. Jacob, Sean, Ally, and Rory managed to find Terra with Charlie and some of her freshmen friends. Terra had her hair usual, down and straight, however she wore a yellow dress that had straps on her shoulders and seemed to be wearing yellow converses. She was enjoying herself with Charlie and their friends.
Jacob adjusted his tie and looked around for Zack, "Where do you think they are at?"
Rory pointed, "Here comes Nate."
Coming over was Nathaniel and Zara. Nathaniel was wearing a nice suit like the other boys with a white tie. Zara was wearing a very angelic white dress with her hair all pulled up besides her bangs of course, she wore light make-up that made her look like she was an angel.
"Whoa, you two look amazing!" Ally says.
Zara holds onto Nathaniel's hand, "Thanks."
Nathaniel kisses Zara on the cheek, "Have you see Zack? I heard he brought a date."
"He got a date?" Jacob asks.
Nathaniel nods, "Some girl in our grade. That's all I know." Nathaniel says.
Suddenly the song ended and the next song was a slow song. The song was I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz. The guys motioned their girls to the dance floor. Jacob and Sean danced by Joshua and Jessica, Rory and Ally danced by Nathaniel and Zara, and Terra and Charlie danced in between Zara and Nathaniel and Ally and Rory.
Terra glanced at Zara, Zara waved with a faint smile before returning her gaze at her boyfriend's eyes. Terra smiles and turned to Charlie with a big smile on her face. Sean leaned her head on Jacob's chest as they danced so slow. Ally and Rory giggled as Ally was blushing as pink as her hair, however Rory wasn't much better. Joshua was trying to make his moves but Jessica rolled her eyes and only danced.
Standing by the chairs were Zack and Roxanne the two had been in the gym for a while but had not really danced. Roxanne was wearing her red dress she got from her sister, with red flats. She had her hair in a bun with no make-up on, because she refused to have that on. Zack wore a nice suit and a red tie.
Zack glanced to Roxanne, "So um- having fun?" He asks.
Roxanne glanced at him, "Yeah- sure."
Zack noticed her attention drawing to the crowd of dancers, "Want to dance?"
Roxanne glanced back at him, "What?"
"I asked if you'd like to dance?" Zack asks.
Roxanne saw he reached his hand out toward her, Roxanne looked from his hand to her date's green eyes. She smiles and grabs a hold of his hand, then Zack walks her to the dance floor. The two slow dance among the other couples. It was rather awkward between the two but it was sweet.
"Thanks for asking me to the dance, Zack. You didn't have to." Roxanne said.
Zack nods, "Yeah I did. It beats staying at home." Zack said.
Roxanne giggles, "You're my knight in shinning armor then." She says.
Zack grins, "I guess I am." He said looking into her gray-blue eyes.
The song ended but the two didn't stop staring at each other, suddenly the two realized they were still standing the way they were and back up slowly. Roxanne was blushing and awkwardly bit her lip, Zack rubbed the back of his neck while noticing his heart beat was racing.
"I- um will be right back. I'm going to get something to drink." Roxanne said.
"Okay." Zack said.
As Roxanne left, it was sudden when he was consumed by his ranger pals. Zack noticed how dressed up they were and how nice they all looked. It was the guys who were questioning who he had brought to the dance, expect Joshua because Jessica demanded him to be dancing. The girls exchanged looks a little bored even but were dancing with each other to the song Yeah by Usher.
"So who is she?" Nathaniel asks.
"Who?" Zack asks.
"Your date?" Jacob asks.
Zack blushes, "I don't know if you'd know her." He said.
"Who mate?" Rory asks.
"Roxxy," Zack said.
"Roxxy? Like Roxanne Dennis." Jacob asks.
Zack nods, "Yeah."
Before the guys could further question their leader they hear, "Okay boys we want you over here to dance. Leave Zack alone." It was Zara.
The song had changed from Usher's Yeah to Drop It Like Its Hot by Snoop Dog. The couples were all up against each other, you'd find the couple twerking against each other and starting some weird line of twerking. When Roxanne reached Zack, she looked uncomfortable with the dancing. Zack nudged her to follow him.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
The two were outside sitting on the sidewalk outside the school in the cool night. Zack took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. Roxanne smiled and held onto part of it with her right hand, she glanced at him to see him smiling at her. Roxanne looked at the sky and then exhaled.
"So you don't like that kind of dancing?" Zack asks.
Roxanne made a face, "That's not dancing. That's basically sex." She rolls her eyes.
Zack laughed, "First time I heard anyone besides my moms saying that." He says.
Roxanne looks at him, "Really?"
He nods, "Yeah."
Roxanne looks back to the sky, "Thanks for inviting me to the dance. I am enjoying myself, being out and spending time with someone." She says.
Zack grins, "I am glad I decided to come. I almost didn't."
"Why?" Roxanne asks.
Zack looks at her, "Complicated stuff with my family." He says.
Roxanne nods, "I can relate." She sighs.
Zack gazed to her, "How?"
Roxanne sighs again, "My dad and mom got a divorce and now my dad is a bitter drunk. I can't stay with him anymore or really even see him." She says.
"Why can't you see him?" Zack asks.
"He hit my mom, and almost hit me." Roxanne said.
"Oh Roxxy, I'm sorry." Zack said.
Roxanne smiles, "It's no big deal. So what about you mister quarterback?"
"I met my biological father after seventeen years only for him to disappear again." Zack said.
Roxanne holds onto his hand, "Well then. Us broken teens need to stick together." Roxanne said.
Zack looks at Roxanne and smiles, "Yeah."
Roxanne leans her head onto his shoulder. Zack let's her without complaining. The two remained outside just talking while everyone else were dancing like animals with their dates.
Chapter twenty-three! I decided I wanted a sweet dance with no problems. I know the first part took placed before the dance and there wasn't much about the dance expect for what I mentioned but I'd like to think that this was a nice chapter. I had my graduation party yesterday and almost didn't want to update but I am so sore from running around to get my phone back from a friend, that I decided to write and post the chapter.
Roxanne is not EVIL, but everything else about her will not be spoiled. You'll have to wait and see what happens in the future chapters between her and Zack. Also I wanted that small moment between Zara and Terra since they are both the young kids from their teams, and it was cool to have them talk even if it was for a little bit.
NEXT TIME: "Welcome back," "It's good to be back."
