The Special Story, chapter 9
I made my way outside into Natalie's car and there I met Billie, Mike and Tre cramming there way into the car. "I wonder how this dance is gonna be like," Natalie said laughing. "Probably pretty stupid," Mike said smiling. "There will be food at least," Tre said trying to flail his arms be he could due to our squished ness. "You seem quiet," Billie Joe said to me. "My mom has been kinda mean to me lately," I said. "We heard," Mike said.
When we got there we walked into the gym and there was a ton of food and music playing. It was slow dance music. What the fuck are they expecting us to do? The girls and the boys were separated, boys on one side and girls on the other. They all looked hesitant to dance with each other. "Do you care to dance," Tre asked me. "It would be my pleasure. I may not be so good in my crutches," I commented. Tre and I were the first on the dance floor, slow dancing. I overheard Billie Joe ask Natalie, "You care to dance?" "I would love to," she said in an extremely happy tone. I smiled thinking how happy Natalie must be. While dancing I noticed Mike sitting in a corner all alone. "I'll be right back Tre," I told him. "Ok sweetie," he replied giving me a pat on the back. I smiled back at him and walked over to lonely Mike. "Hey, you look kinda lonely over here," I commented. "Um... Not really, I like watching you guys watch," Mike lied. "Um... You wanna dance," I he'sitated to ask. "Sure, I thought you'd never ask," Mike said standing up quickly wiping his hands on his shirt.
Mike's POV
I can't believe she asked ME to dance. She is like in love with Tre and stuff and I feel I can't do anything with her without her or Tre feeling offended. I hate to admit it to her, but I like her. I wish love wasn't so complicated. Her and Tre are like all buddy, buddy and stuff so I really couldn't tell her because she might say no and I would feel like total shit. I guess it'll be just another lost crush.
My POV
After the song ended I smiled widely at Mike and he smiled back, "Thanks for dancing with me." "No problem, anytime, you know just because I am all crazy over Tre doesn't mean I shouldn't hang out with you either. I will dance with you whenever you ask," I said. He nodded his head and I went off to find Tre. He was by the punch bowl getting some punch and trying it. He made a sour expression on his face and said, "Ew... This punch tastes like shit." I chuckled. "Psst... I can do the worm," I whispered to him. "So can I," he said looking amazed at what I just said. I saw him kneel to the ground and get on his belly. He started doing the worm and I found myself giggling insanely. I saw Mike out of the corner of my eye, he was break dancing. I found myself laughing at their strange antics. After they were done they both got up and bowed.
Tre wondered up to me and handed me a sloppily wrapped box. I assumed it was for me. "Open it," he said smiling warmly. I quickly un-wrapped the gift and opened the box. I looked inside and saw a dog tag that said, "Mrs. Tre Cool." I took it out of the box and attached it to my dog collar. I grinned widely at him and said, "Hey, thanks. I love it." He chuckled to himself. "I'm going to some crap food," he stated. "Sounds good," I said as he walked away. Mike walked up to me and smiled, "You look great tonight." "Thanks, "I said blushing a little. "Oh god I can't hold it in any longer," he said. "Can't hold in what," I asked. "Cassidy, I...," he he'sitated. "Wait are you dying of some disease," I asked worriedly. "No, no don't be silly," he said. 'Then what," I asked again, annoyed. "I... I...," he took a deep breath, "love you."
