Becoming Friends.

Drake walked around the corner. He blinked several times to make sure he was seeing what he was really seeing. It looked like someone was trying to get out of the window. On leg was inside, the other was outside, and their shirt was half way up. Drake walked a little closer. Then he recognized the grunts coming from the girl who was trying to either get in or out the window. It was Aloni. Drake cleared his throat "So this what you do when you leave me and go off alone after lunch." Drake smirked as he watched her freeze and go blood red.
"Oh my God! Drake! Oh, um...." Aloni's stomach twisted. Then, with out knowing what she was doing, she fell, her shirt ripping up the side of her. "GOD! I HATE THIS!" Aloni turned scarlet. Probably crimson if it were possible.
Drake tried with all his strength to hold back his laughter. "You ok?" He finally managed to get out. He walked over and held out his hand to help her up.
Aloni took his hand. "Don't laugh. I just didn't want to talk to Yasmine..." She straightened out her shirt. Then stared at her one flip flop. The other was on the other side of the window. She walked over and leaned in to grab it.
"Oh... Yasmine." Drake feared that name. She was horrible, a monster, a demon! Drake watched her as she whimsically leaned through the window to get her shoe. Nice ass she has... "So you're roommates with her?" Drake tried to make conversation. He leaned against the building with his arms folded.
Aloni nodded. "Yes." She slipped on her shoe, then looked at him, folding her arms too. Still red from the embarrassment. "Oh, um, don't tell anyone about this, please."
Drake ran his fingers across his lips as if he were zipping them up. "My lips are sealed."
"Thank you."
Drake folded his arms again and nodded.
So embarrassed, she didn't know what else to say, so she just started walking, seeing if Drake was going to follow her.
"Where are you going?" Drake didn't move an inch.
"Um, away from the window where Yasmine can hear us..." And to hide my embarrassment...
Drake stopped leaning against the wall and slowly walked towards her. "Just to get away from the window?" Drake was smiling. He knew she was embarrassed and wanted to get away from him. But he kept stalling, trying to keep her from where ever she was going to go.
Aloni blushed again. "Yeah..."
Drake stared at her for a minute. "Why do you always run away when I'm around? I'm not that scary am I?" Drake smiled
Aloni had a lump in her throat. "No. Your not scary." She said trying to make her voice sound mean. "And I do not just run away."
"You did at lunch today."
"No. I wasn't hungry... And the conversation was boring."
"Oh so I'm scary and boring now. Ok, I get it."
"No, no, no, no, no." Aloni reacted immediately. Oops. "What I meant was...Jade gets boring when talking to Joey. And I never said you were scary."
Drake chuckled "Ok, ok."
Aloni shook her head in frustration and stalked off.
Drake stopped his laughing. "Hey, wait!" Drake jogged up to her and walked by her side; "Hey, I'm sorry ok?" he was still smiling.
"Sure." She said. Scowling at the ground she watched as she walked.
"And you don't believe me do you?"
"No." Aloni turned the corner and stopped. Where was she going to go? Have Drake follow her to random places? Weird...
"So you're never hungry then?" Drake asked to make conversation.
"I get hungry. Just I don't eat that much." Aloni tried to stay angry, but she was flattered that Drake was still with her...still trying to make conversation with her.
"Well that's obvious to see." he could tell that she's trying to stay mad, but he's starting to melt through her.
Aloni groaned at his annoying pique he kept up. And started going in any which way.
"Am I annoying you?" He already knew the answer, just wanted to see what she would do.
"Obviously." Aloni said.
"Ooh, that was cold." Drake said, but it didn't seem to bother him.
Aloni just rolled her eyes. "What is it you want from me? Entertainment?"
"Oh I dunno, maybe just a simple 'HI'. You know, words of kindness. But entertainment works too..." Drake smiled, he put his hands in his pockets.
"Hi." She said then stalked off towards who knows where.
Drake stopped for a split second, smiled to himself, then jogged several steps to catch up with her again. "That's more like it."
She wheeled around. "Since you don't seem to get a hint, and won't leave me alone, Did you want to go somewhere in particular?" She surrendered, and had to ask.
"Hmmm... No, not really. Just following you to see where you go." He smiled to himself.
She sighed. "Ok, fine. I think I’m ready to go back to my dorm...Where Yasmine is."
Drake flinched when Aloni mentioned Yasmine's name. "Oooooo, Yasmine? Um, can I ask you a question? What kind of flowers would you like me to bring to your funeral?"
Aloni rolled her eyes. "Yasmine? Kill me? Please!"
"She won't kill you? After when she finds out you snuck out the window away from her she will." Drake warned. "So what flowers?"
Aloni rolled her eyes. "Roses, And I don't think she will kill me, she values me too much. She calls me delicate all the time."
"SHE calls someone DELICATE? I somehow find that very hard to believe. And are those roses red, white, yellow, pink...?" Drake pretended to write down on a pad of paper as he was 'taking the order'.
Aloni bent her head. "That's because you’re too chicken to find out how she reacts to her fellow models."
"I am not!" Drake threw his arms down.
She smiled slyly. "Then come with me to my dorm."
Drake hesitated. "Why?"
"You said you weren't chicken. Well prove it!"
More hesitation. "Now?"
"Well, yeah, why not?" She was getting through him. "Unless..." She shrugged. "You just don't want to follow me anymore. That's fine."
"Um, you know, I think I'll catch you later. See you at dinner." Drake waved and ran off.
"Ok." Yes...she got him away...But then, it was mean. And she kind of missed him already. She really liked him, and why would he bug her to death, if he didn't like her?

Drake was disgusted at how much Aloni could stand that demon. He shivered at the thought of her. And Aloni acted a little mean towards him. She must hate him. Psh! The spoiled snob. But then other times, she's really nice. Her mood swings around him confused him a lot. Drake headed toward his dorm.

She sighed. She didn't want to see Yasmine. So instead, she walked back over to Drake. "Drake, wait!" She said. "Hey, I’m sorry." She tried to catch up with him.
Drake was surprised to hear Aloni chasing after him. He turned around, "Well, now look who's following who."
"Again, I’m sorry. Did I hurt your feelings? I was kind of irritated because you happened to find me dangling out of a window..." She trailed off.
Drake shrugged "No harm done. Except for your shirt." he eyed the little tear at the bottom of her blouse.
She gritted her teeth, and moved her arm in front of the tear. "Yeah, but I didn't mean to be that rude."
"It's ok, nothing compared to what I used to live in back at home."
Aloni flinched, for no reason. She wasn't that mean...But that sounded terrible. "What happened at home?"
"Life. What else?" Drake answered as if it was a 'duh' question, but he tried to not make it sound rude.
Aloni looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean... That just came out wrong..."
"No... It's ok. What's fair is fair, Right?"
"Yeah." Drake smiled.
"So what are you going to do now?" She asked.
"Um, I was just headed over to my dorm to, I dunno, play some songs."
This brightened her. "What kind of songs?"
Drake shrugged "Anything, I can play on guitar."
She nodded, concentrating on a few songs she's heard him play.
"...Or piano." he continued.
"Any other instruments I should know about?" She asked, teasing.
"Ha, uh there's trumpet. And other simple instruments like the recorder. And the electric bass, drums, you know… band instruments."
"Wow"
"Yeah..."
"Do you compose your own songs?"
"Most of them."
Finally, she asked. "Can I hear some?"
"Sure." Drake led the way to his room.

The Wrath of Yasmine

Aloni huffed, trying to get her emotions in order. She shook her head. She was super jealous now. But, Drake doesn't like her like that, so it doesn't matter. It shouldn't. So there. She opened her dorm, hoping Yasmine wasn't there to start drowning Aloni in her conversation of school.

"Reading magazines? That sounds pretty boring..." Drake stuffed the rest of his burger in his mouth. Joey shrugged.
"Aloni's in them. She want's to be sure that she doesn't get criticism from people. Gosh, get it right!" jade teased that the end.
"Oh that's right! You guys are like those models in that one porno magazine!" Drake talked with his mouth full.
"And how would you know they're in a porn magazine, Drake?" Joey grinned.
"Look who's talking, you're the one who showed me the magazine!"
"But you bought it!"
"Because you told me to because you couldn't go to the store. You were 'studying'."
"Oh, so you don't study... no wonder why you have an F in every class..."
"You have F's too."
"By mistake! I'm still sorting that out with the teachers." Joey folded his arms.
"Right..." Drake rolled his eyes.
Jade laughed. "I’ve never done any porn and neither Aloni, thank you very much. You both should get those grades up."
Drake shrugged "Who cares about grades anyway?"
"Well I do because if I don’t get those grades up soon, and my mom finds out, I'll be grounded over Christmas break when we get to go home." Joey said.
Jade tsked. "Joey, get them up ok? I'll help you if you want."
Joey perked up "OK!"
Jade laughed. "Alright, when do you need help?"
"Uh..." Joey looked at Drake. Drake was starring off into space... most likely starring at some girl.
"Well, there is half an hour left of lunch. And I haven't gotten to my math yet..."
"Let's go." Jade rolled her eyes. She got up, letting Drake snap out of it himself.
Joey smiled to himself.
"Huh? Wait- where you guys going?" Drake stood up with Jade and Joey.
"Didn't you here our whole conversation?!" Jade exclaimed. Tired of repeating her self all the time.
"No..."
Jade rolled her eyes at threw a remaining grape at Drake. Then walked off, followed by lover boy Joey.
"Hey!" Drake picked the grape off from his shirt and went his own way. He knew that Joey liked Jade and probably should give em some time alone. Instead, Drake went wondering around campus, maybe finding that Shanelle or Aloni or someone...
Aloni cringed when she heard Yasmine come in, gotta get outa here... She didn't feel the mood to sit and listen to Yasmine right now. She's great and all, but some times nosy and boring. So instead of going out the regular door, she opened her window, and started getting out. Just as she slid one leg out, Yasmine started knocking on Aloni's door. Aloni frowned. Then started going faster, but her shirt got caught on the window lock. Thankfully her door was locked.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Aloni honey? Are you in there?" Yasmine pounded on her door. She thought she heard some movement going on her room, so she pounded harder. "ALONI!!! I know you're in there. Fine, since you're not talking to me, I'll just talk to you through the door." Yasmine leaned against the wall and scoffed "I so deserve something better than standing. JACK-O-LYN! Please get me my chair so I could talk to Aloni through the door!!" Yasmine ordered. "So Aloni, I saw Jade walking across campus, said you were here, she was with some guy. Who is he? He obviously likes her, does she like him back? OMG are they going out? How come you never tell me any of these things?" she grabbed an emery board off the floor she found and started filing her nails.

After messing around with Colby, one of the guys in his "group", Drake decided he was going to go to his dorm and play his guitar. He just got an idea for a song. Then, he heard someone behind the dorm building next door. Who's back there?
Aloni groaned. Not speaking and letting Yasmine rant on and on. This will never end! So instead, she concentrated on trying to unhook her shirt from the window, but wasn't having enough luck. Grunting under her breath, she caught a sound from around the corner. AAAHHHH!!! NOT NOW!! MY BUTTS STICKIN OUT THE WINDOW!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! What if it was some guy she knew!! This is embarrassing. Or, for her luck, it very much could be a girl walking by, may not even notice her.
"Hey, get me a smoothie from our portable fridge in our room will ya dear?" Yasmine asked Jackie when she brought Yasmine the chair she called for earlier. She continued to file her nails and blabbing on and on to a struggling Aloni on the other side of the door.

Another Typical School Day

"...And that class, is the story of Shakeksphere's famous 'A Mid Summer Night’s Dream'." The drama teacher finished. The bell rang. "Now students, the purple worksheet we started today is homework and will be due tomorrow. I suggest that you get a partner to finish it." the teacher said as the students got up to leave the classroom.
"Phew! Glad that's over." Joey walked over to Drake who was picking up his binder to leave.
"Yeah, but I think it will be fun when we get to perform that play." Drake said.
"Not for me. I hate performing anything. You're the musical geek." Joey laughed.
"Hey, 'A Mid Summer Night’s Dream' is a classic play, not a musical. And musical's are not for geeks!" Drake stopped Joey.
"Well excuuuuuuse me." Joey rolled his eyes. "So what part do you want to try out for?"
"I'm not sure yet... Oooooo who do we have here?" Drake walked up by Aloni's side. "Hey!" he smiled to her.
Aloni smiled. Hoping that she didn't blush. "Hey. You excited for the play?" She asked. "I am. But I don't know who to try out for..." he's talking to me, ME of all people! He's talking to me...sighhhhhhh. Then, finally noticing the heart she drew, she smoothly hid it with her hand. She got out of her seat and piled her books on one another, her doodle in-between the books and binder.
Drake shrugged "I haven't decided yet. You know if you wanna try out?" Drake asked. As Aloni stood up, she dropped a paper. He bent down and retrieved it for her. "You dropped this."
Aloni bit her lip. "Uh, thanks." She grabbed it quickly and shoved it crinkled in her binder. "Anyway, I know I want to audition. I just don't know what part I want."
Drake nodded "I think you would make a good Hermia, with two guys after you. You'd be very good at that role." Drake noted, "You're probably already used to guys after you in real life though."
"I know that Drake's had that situation with all the ladies here." Joey butted in.
"Shut up." Drake and Joey started to play fight.
"Oh thanks..." Aloni said, thinking. Really, she never had THAT many guys after her...Many guys talk to her a lot though...Aloni smiled when Joey said that.
"Hey boys! Ok what we getting for lunch?" Jade stood in between Drake and Joey and put her arms around them. Joey went red.
"We?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I'm eating with lunch with Jade today. And you're coming with me." Drake put his arm around her.
"You wouldn't mind would you?" Jade was worried at how red Joey's face was, she thought he was getting sick.
"That's... fine."
Drake did a fake cough "Alright then! Let's go! I'm starving!"
Jade grabbed Aloni's arm "And you're coming too."
"Oh, um I am? Well, no that's ok. I'm not hungry." She protested as jade dragged he her by force.
"You don't want to eat with us? Forget him-" Drake pushed Joey's face away, "You don't want to eat with me? You do know how popular I am, right?"
"Not very much." Joey laughed. Drake tried to slap the back of Joey's head, but Joey ducked. "Miss me!" Drake swapped again and got Joey's cheek. "OW!"
"HA!"
Jade rolled her eyes "You guys are so immature."
"Thank you!" they both said.
Aloni rolled her eyes and followed unwillingly with Jade.
While walking down the hall, Drake was saying hi to almost everyone they saw. Joey, who was a step lower than Drake on the pecking order, just rolled his eyes and flirted a little with Jade while Drake did his thing.

"What are we eating today?" Drake said when they entered the cafeteria.
Aloni kept quiet. She didn't feel like eating. Her stomach was all ready full of butterflies from being near ... Sighhhh Drake!!!
Boys... will be boys. They goofed off and ate junk food and did weird things during lunch. Until Shanelle came over to flirt with Drake.
"Hi Drake, so I hear that you and Natalie broke up. That's too bad" She helped herself to a seat.
"Nah, she's really needy. And I don’t care if you tell her I said that."
Shanelle smiled. "Oh that's ok, I won't. So who are you going to ask out now?"
"I thought you just broke up with Kenzy…?" Joey said with his mouth full.
"No, that was during the dance, I met Natalie right outside after the dance." Drake corrected Joey.
Aloni stiffled in a gasp of disappointment. She needed to hide these things. So instead she looked at Jade's food and popped an apple slice in her mouth, keeping her mouth occupied.
Drake shrugged, "I dunno."
Shanelle batted her eye lashes "Well If you need any help deciding, call me." She handed Drake a piece of paper with her number on it, then stood up and walked away.
"You should prank call her." Joey snickered.
Aloni kept a straight face. Chew, chew, chew, Swallow
Drake just shrugged and went back to eating.
"Are you actually gonna ask her out or prank call her?" Joey asked.
"I dunno."
"U gotta be kidding me, you’re gonna ask her out!"
"I said I don't know."
"Ok what ever..."
"You have to admit she's kind of cute."
"Not really..." Joey had his heart set on Jade.
Aloni bit her lip.
"Aw Joey, Then who do you like? Oh wait, I think I know." Jade teased.
"Y-y-you do?" Joey asked nervously.
"Sure I do." Jade played along. "... Ok I don't really, I just want to mess with ya." She smiled teasing like.
Aloni smiled with her.
Joey felt relief after Jade admitted she didn't know who he liked. "Oh, ok." Then he smiled along with her.
Aloni smiled at Joey’s relief. It was pretty obvious stuff that Joey liked Jade. But then her attention turned to Drake, and she felt like leaving.
"Hey, I'm not hungry, so I’m going to leave. See ya later Jade." Aloni stood up.
"You're leaving?" Drake asked.
"Uh, yeah." Aloni nodded once. "I'm Not hungry. So Bye."
"BUT-!" Drake called after her, but she already left. "What does she do when she leaves like that? Like where does she go?"
"Probably her uncle's office." Joey said.
Jade shook her head. "Only sometimes. She's just new and doesn't like going anywhere, but she usually goes back to her dorm. Sits on her bed and reads magazines. Sometimes. I'm not sure though. I'm not usually there."

Telling Yasmine the Truth

"Aloni, Darling is that you?"
"Uh...Yeah!" Aloni called back. She found some cute sweat pants, and a T-shirt, and got comfy, taking her hair out and letting it flop down. Poor Kyle. He really liked her.
Yasmine invited herself into Aloni's room. "So how did it go?" she was still in her ball gown dress. Her hair pulled up into a loose, pretty bun, with glittery hairpins.
"Good." Aloni said.
"So did you guys kiss or anything?" Yasmine was very eager for news.
"No..." Aloni said.
"Then where did you guys run off to after the dance?"
"Dairy queen."
Yasmine raised an eyebrow "That's it?"
"Yup."
"You just went to go get some boring ice cream? Well what did you even talk about?"
"We broke up." Aloni said.
Yasmine's jaw dropped "WHAT!?! Why?"
"We're not right for eachother, ok?"
"But can't you just work around those differences?"
"Not really. Go away." Aloni said and went out of her room.
Yasmine shrugged "Ok. I'm actually kind of grateful that you two broke up. Wouldn't want you to be known as the hot rich girl going out with the nerd." Yasmine went back into her room.
"A nerd?" Aloni got up, offended.
Yasmine came out of her room to grab her handbag she left. She scoffed. "Yeah of course. Duh! You never saw that in him? Lol the only reason he's popular is because he was going out with you." then she went back into her room.
Aloni folded her arms. "What do you know?!" Aloni called after her. Then she sat down. So? Who cares? ...Was he really that nerdy? Well the science stuff and math, yeah... But who cares? Will he be unpopular now that they're broken up? Who cares?! They're still friends. It doesn't matter. Sides, The whole popular, rich, nerdy, geeky, jocky stuff is crap. People make a big deal about things like that. Especially Yasmine, and she's being really rude about this too.

The Date

Kyle opened the car door for Aloni and got into his side after closing her door. He turned on the engine and backed out onto the street.
"You ok? You look...troubled." Aloni told him. She didn't like the way he looked. She thought he had fun.
"Me? No, no not at all... I'm not troubled one bit!" Kyle bit his lip.
"Mmm-hmm" Aloni said skeptically.
"Yup." Kyle stared straight ahead.
Aloni just starred straight ahead like him. "So I’m guessing you didn't have fun then?"
Oh I had fun... while I was with you."
"Are you saying you had a hard time with me being with Drake?" Aloni asked a bit harshly. "Sorry"
"So the jerk has a name huh?" Kyle didn't mean for it to come out sounding so mean
Aloni couldn't say anything..."Well, he's not that bad..." She got out smally.
"Well last I heard, you had no interest in him at all when all the sudden you're asking him to dance," Kyle's voice raised a little. "I'm sorry." he immediately said.
Aloni shook her head. "Interested in him?" She repeated. "I never knew you would notice that."
"You have no idea how much I do notice." his voice was flat.
Aloni's heart saddened. "I'm...so sorry." She said sadly and smally. "I'm still trying to get the hang of this new school."
"No, don't be sorry. I guess I could get a little too obsessive sometimes..."
"No it's fine..." Aloni said looking out her window. Dairy Queen was coming up.
There was a pause. They just sat in silence for a while until they reached the Dairy Queen.
Aloni got out when they got there. "Sorry about what happened back there." Aloni told him.
"Me too. So what do you want?"
"Oh vanilla's fine."
"No toppings?"
"I guess I’ll have some chocolate over it."
"Nothing else?"
"No, it's ok."
Kyle shrugged "ok." he ordered some ice cream for both him and her.
Aloni smiled and sat down when she got her ice cream. "Thanks." She said and dug in. Then some thoughts came in...What did Kyle mean by observe? Why is he so uptight about Drake...Maybe...
Kyle started to slowly eat his ice cream. He watched Aloni. "You eat too fast you'll get hiccups." wow he does observe things a lot. But why does this bug her? If she really likes him then would she not care? ...Maybe....
"Oh, haha, your right, I’ll eat slower then..." Aloni said making the slow turn dramatic. Slowly and steadily eating her ice cream.
"Um, Aloni?" Kyle cleared his throat. "What kind of man to you intend to marry in the future someday?"
"I don't know. There's tons of men out there. I guess I just got to look hard." She said looking into his eyes, but thinking of Drake.
"What kind of qualities are you looking for?"
Aloni shrugged. She was more focused on jobs and what she's going to do for careers. "I don't know. I guess he'll come when I’m ready for him. I'm thinking about jobs right now."
"And I'm assuming you're not ready for him just yet?"
"Not really. I mean, I like someone who likes kids, and wants to work to help their family, and will be nice, and treat everyone with respect and be nice." She let out.
"And I know you're definitely not ready for kids." Kyle hated kids.
"No I’m not." Aloni said smiling. "Maybe 20 I’ll be ready."
"Uh huh... well to tell you the truth, kids aren't my biggest priority in life."
Aloni thought for a bit. "Really?" She asked sadly.
"Yeah..."
Change subject… "I like the literal Arts." Aloni told him.
"There's no way I could ever perform like you do."
"Ok, How about where you want to live? I like the big cities."
"I don't do well in big crowds and large cities like you do. My ideal home is a small house in a little town."
"How cute."
"Yeah..."
Aloni thought about it. Maybe they wouldn't be a great couple...he gets so jealous too.
They sat in silence for minute. Then Kyle broke it. "When I get my house, I want to marry a gardener or a florist. Then we can have our own garden and grow things like peppers and chilies."
Aloni bit her lip...Definitely not her. Ew no. "That's great. I hope you find her."
What she meant by that was that she was not that type of girl. She also knew they weren't meant to be. Kyle swallowed. He's now made his decision, but should he tell her now? No, he'll wait a little longer...
Aloni smiled to hide her hesitation. They just weren't ready. "Ok, um...You see, I can see we're different..." She started slowly.
"Yes, very different." Kyle agreed.
Aloni nodded. "I think, that...we're just not..."
"...Meant for each other like this..." Kyle finished for her.
Aloni nodded sadly.
"Um, I think we would be better off if we were just... friends."
"Yeah." Aloni said. She looked at her half-eaten ice cream. And pushed it aside. "I think I should go now."
"Ok." Then he remembered that he gave her a ride over here. "Oh!" he jumped up.
"Huh?" Aloni said standing up.
"Don't you need a ride back?"
"If you want to."
"I'll be more than happy to." even though it won't ever be the same again.
"Thanks." Aloni said and half-smiled. Then stepped in his car. She hated dragging this big purple dress around. Once she gets to her suitcases, she's changing immediately. Then, if Yasmine snoops...oh well...
Kyle got in the car and drove back to the school. He parked back in the parking lot. "So um... I guess I'll see you in school."
"Yeah. Bye." Aloni hopped out and walked around the building to her dorm. She walked in, and with a relief, sighed huge and ran to her room to change.

Realizations

Aloni looked up. And half-smiled. "Hey." She looked at him. He wasn't going to ask her...if...she asked him...would he say yes? If he didn't, that'd be totally embarrassing. But...she has to be strong sometime...Well, let's just wait.
Crap. Silence. He should say something... But what? "So how's it going between you and Kyle?" dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb question!!!
"Uh..." Why does he want to know that? "Good I guess..." Dang, the song is going by fast...GAH Hurry..."Um, so..."
"So..."
Aloni looked over at him, and in her mind, sighed. "Do you want to dance?" She got out.
Drake was surprised that she asked him. "Uh..." what should he say? Well of course what else could he say? "Sure."
Aloni smiled and got up.
Drake waited for Aloni to start walking out on the floor. He didn't want to rush into anything...
Aloni looked around then walked up onto the dance floor. The song was going away, not much time.
Drake followed her. The song was going by pretty fast. So there wouldn't be much time to dance, which Drake didn't really cared much about.
Aloni kind of stood there. What dance? What would he do?
"Ok, let see how we do here..." Drake didn't like just sitting and waiting like Aloni was doing.
Aloni looked around, people were just slow dancing, so they could too..."Right." Aloni said nodding her head and stepping up to drake.
Drake slowly, moved his arm up to reach to her. She put her hand on his shoulder the exact same way. Then they slowly put their hands up to hold each other’s.
Aloni was nervous, but she didn't hesitate.
Once they were in position, Drake started leading a slow dance to the music. Their eyes didn't leave each other's.
Aloni looked in his eyes as they danced. Oh how she loved the chocolate brown. Oh, oh, oh. His face, his hair, his sexy butt! Everything about him is soo hot. She's soo lucky right now.
Drake caught in the corner of his eye, Kenzy, glowering in the doorway, hating him. He smiled in his mind but not letting Aloni see. He looked into her eyes. Dark blue… Like sapphires. The prettiest blue ever. And her hair was very long and wavy with curls in for the night's occasion. His hand was on her waist. Her body wasn't that bad either. One thing he didn't get though. Didn't she hate him? From earlier, she didn't seem very fond of him. Either she was actually interested in him, or she just had no one else to dance with is the reason why she asked him. Maybe both. Well, he was going to ask her anyway so it didn't matter. But man, she looked so beautiful! Maybe he could consider her as his next girlfriend. Nah, she already has the one guy and there's no way he could ask her out. Let alone, just to dance with her was amazing. To go out with her, that's a different story. And they danced to well together. Way better than him and Kenzy. He felt free. And Happy. And very flabbergasted that he is dancing with the principal's niece. The daughter of THE Phoebe Newman. Amazing, just amazing...
Aloni smiled big once she got used to the dance moves. Beautiful Brown eyes. That gorgeous Drake was in front of her... Holding her waist as she speaks. Sighhhhhhhhh She didn't know how or why she got to dance with this super hot guy, but she was loving it. His eyes, oh his eyes, they seemed like chocolate. The warmest purest Chocolate in the world. what if we went out? What would i do with Kyle though? He really likes me...But i like Drake... She just watched his eyes straight on; they didn't seem to move away from hers.

Kyle continued dancing with a girl named Claire. They twirled a little bit and he saw Aloni dancing with a new partner. Who was it? Trying to not let Claire notice, he lead their dancing closer to Aloni. Aw man, it was that guitar dude. How did he end up with HIS girl? Kyle didn't let his feelings show on his face, but just smiled and continued dancing with Claire. He kept looking back occasionally. Just look at them, their eyes on locked. Not even blinking almost. This was getting too intense.

Claire smiled joyfully while she danced with Kyle. He was pretty cute, and tall, and handsome and awesome. She's lucky. Oh but what she would give to dance with Drake. That girl dancing with him is soo darn lucky!

The song ended, and a new song came on. "Um, I think that's the end of our dance." Kyle smiled politely. They stood next to Drake and Aloni who started dancing to the next song with out even realizing it. Kyle stared at them "Ahem."

Aloni jumped, and looked over at him. Sadly being torn away from Drakes absolutely beautiful chocolate brown eyes. She didn't show her disappointment though. "Oh right..." She quickly slid her fingers off of Drake, and took Kyle's hand. "Uh, that was fun." She told Drake sweetly.
Drake smiled at Aloni and immediately frowned at Kyle "Yeah, really fun." he glared at Kyle for some weird reason, he didn't even know he was doing it at first. "Well if you'll excuse me, I guess I better be going." Drake smiled once again to Aloni and headed for the door.
Kyle put his arms around Aloni. "Phew, back together again." he smiled. grateful that the guitar guy is now leaving.
"Were you dying that we weren't together?" Aloni asked. She was sad that Drake had to leave. He was just...perfect. Not that Kyle was bad...she just...liked Drake more...
"Yes, I was counting every second we were apart."
Aloni didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she said, "Me too." She smiled sweetly.
Kyle came up with a random number "I've gotten up to 456 seconds." Kyle smiled
Aloni laughed. "That's a lot of seconds. Did that include over the song too?"
"Yes." Kyle nodded.
Aloni nodded her head. "Ok, ok. If it makes you feel better," She took his hand and got into dancing position again.
Kyle smiled. "So should we go out to get something like a dessert after the dancing is all done?"
"Oh that'd be great!"
"What would you like to get?"
"Oh um...a bowl of ice cream will do just fine."
"So... the Dairy Queen then?"
"Sure." She said smiling. Then looked back at Drake, and smiled.

Drake was almost out the door. Then Kenzy popped out of no where. She stood there, just guarding the door. Ok, can't go that way... Drake turned for another door. She must have gotten some of her friends to stand at the other doors too. He didn't even want to mess with them. He looked around. There were chairs all along the wall incase some people didn't want to dance. Well, he wasn't going anywhere, so he took a seat in one of the chairs. He watched everyone dancing, he saw his friends, some teachers, Aloni. She looked over at him and gave him smile. Drake gave her back half a smile.

Aloni half frowned when she saw how troubled he is, then turned her attention to Kyle. She went with Kyle outside. Passing some girls that were standing by the door. Probably watching for someone...
Kyle held Aloni's hand as they walked out the door.
Aloni smiled. She loved the feel of her hand in his, although, it didn't match the feeling of Drake's...
"Are you ok? You seem a little dazed since we parted."
"Well I am dazed from your magnificent dancing!" Aloni said. She stepped closer to him, until they got to the car.
Kyle faked a smile. Of course, HIS dancing yeah right. More like that guitar dude's dancing.
Aloni stepped into his car.

A Sudden Breakup

Drake groaned. Great... JUST GREAT. This was definitely going to be the best dance ever, the most commonly known dance ever that's for sure. Drake led Kenzy away a little bit and pretended he didn't hear anything going on and had no idea who those weirdos were. He knew it wouldn't work, but it's worth a try...
"Um, Drake, Your brother and his friend are trying to...get your attention…" Kenzy said, a bit weirded out.
"What brother? I don't have a brother." Drake said with his facial expression to Kenzy to pretend that they didn't know them. Hopefully she got the message.
"What about that same guy that came in on us the...other day?" She asked.
"What guy? No one came in on us..." she wasn’t getting it. darn.
"The guy that looked like YOU! God, what are you trying to pull?"
Drake cleared his throat. "Uh, Kenzy, we. Don't. Know. Him. Right?" he annunciated each word very carefully and slowly.
Kenzy raised her eyebrows. "Right... But I still think it's mean to ignore your brother like that." She frowned. Smiling in her mind. He's becoming more and more like me..
"DRAKY BOY! I'M CALLING YOU!!!!" Drako said madly and clumsily slugged over to Drake and Kenzy. "I WAS TALKING TO YOUS DRAKY!!"
Bob followed behind, a smile on his face. Drako tricked him into thinking he would get the new ritual badge for taking the blame. "Yeah, he was...talking to-to-to you."
Drako put his hand up, and stopped Bob, then on his own, moved forward towards drake, almost, predator like.
"Um, excuse us for one moment" Drake grabbed Kenzy's arm and literally ran out of the room to outside, running from Drako.
"What, what, what?" Kenzy asked as they ran out.
"Ok, do you want to be embarrassed for the rest of the year- or the rest of your life even? We want to pretend we don’t know him so then if anything happens people won't know that we're somehow involved with it because we don't even know him right?" Drake said as fast as he could. "Now, let's get away before he catches us." he looked back to see if Drako was right behind them yet.
"But, he looks just like you. You have no chance Drake." She said sourly.
"DRAKY!! WHERED YA GO?!"
"Alright. Good point. So you're saying you don't want to save yourself any humility?" Drake almost had enough with her.
"What do you mean? He's your brother who needs special needs," Kenzy said with the same tone as Drake.
"So you want ME to be humiliated then?"
"YES! I DO!" Kenzy yelled at him, throwing her thought out loud. Her face never changed though. She wasn't that kind of person to change immediately.
"DRAKY!! I SEE YOU!! YAY!! I FOUND YOU!! YAY!! BOB AND I ARE COMING NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHA" Drako did his evil laugh.
Drake quickly looked at the weird Drako running at him, then back at Kenzy. "Ok, well then if that’s the way you're gonna be, then you can just forget it. We're over."
Kenzy's eyes went wide. "You can't break up with me!" Kenzy said the most sour way she could. "I AM PERFECT!" She snapped at him, she got closer to him. "YOU CAN'T BREAK UP WITH ME! GAH!!" Kenzy stomped once, then stomped away.
"I believe I just did." wow, that felt good. Uh oh, got to run!! Drake was still chasing Drake.
"DRAKY!! YAY U!! I ALWAYS KNEW SHE WAS EVIL!" Drako said getting closer. Then he stopped. I guess draky doesn't want to talk to me right now...Oh well, "SEE YA DRAKY!!"
Drake let out his breath he was holding. "Finally!" Drake then straightened up his coat and went back inside, knowing Kenzy won’t be there ‘cause she most likely went back to her dorm to cry.

Aloni smiled and another dance started up. Then the DJ talked.
"This dance, you have to dance with another person other than your date. Now, now, don't be sad, it'll turn out fine!" The DJ said and went back to DJing songs. A slow song came on, and every one found a date like lightning. Crap... Aloni thought. She looked at Kyle.
"Don't worry, we'll be back together after this number." Kyle smiled. "Guess I better go find someone other than my date huh?" he walked off to ask some girl standing alone.

Drake stood by the wall, then the DJ made the announcement. He was kind of excited about it, that means he'll still have someone to dance with... but who? Who was he supposed to ask to dance? He searched all of the girls standing without a partner.

Aloni kind of stood there. Looking around, biting her lips and looking down. She half stood in the middle of the dance floor. No one was open...Except for Drake over there...No, no. No. But why not? Oh just ‘cause...But why? She kept debating in her head.

Drake couldn't find anyone else. Oh well, better luck for the next song. But then he saw someone walking over to sit down on a chair next to the wall opposite from him. He took a deep breath. Here 'goes...
He took slow steps around the dancing couples on the dance floor, coming closer to the girl. As he got closer, he realized who it actually was. Oh great, yeah, that's just wonderful. There's no way he could ask her to dance. Don't even think she would want to. Drake, now a little disappointed, came a few feet away from her and casually leaned against the wall. Pretending that he wasn't going to ask her in the first place. "Hey," he acknowledged her existence. He watched everyone else dance.
