Dirty Dancing, chapter 1
"Attention students, remember that tomorrow will be our Valentine's Day dance, so get with a partner and swing it!" said our principal.
"Swing it? What is this, the 1920's?" I asked my friend Mike.
He snickered but the teacher glared at me.
This is common since I'm very sarcastic at times... plus I was making fun of the 1920's which is when she was born.
The bell rang and I ran into Tre', I nodded and he followed me to my locker. Oh no! I forgot my gym clothes at home.
"Billie! I left my clothes at home!" I whined.
He threw his jersey at me, it said Armstrong on the back of it, I smiled at Billie and hugged him, thankful I at least had my pants that I kept in my gym locker everyday.
"Ok class, since tomorrow is the dance, we'll be practicing our dancing lessons with the boys in Mr. Packard," our gym teacher, Mrs. Brean said to us.
Some of the preppy girls were so "Omigosh," while some groaned, I just stood there, wondering if I knew anyone in that class.
Mr. Packard came in with his class, then I saw Tre', he noticed me and smiled. I smiled back, he pointed a finger to his eyes and then at mine, meaning that "I'm watching you in case you do anything." I smiled at him but just shrugged it off.
"All right, we'll learn lots of dances today and tomorrow, some dances like the Mambo, the Ramba, and lots of others," said Mrs. Brean.
I rolled my eyes at this dances, Tre' automatically noticed and stifled a chuckle.
"Ok, now pick your partners," they both screamed out, then looked at each other and blushed, it was so obvious they liked each other.
I ran to Tre' and he held his arms wide open, I jumped on him as he held me like a baby, I giggled and he set me down.
The preps and jocks rolled they're eyes at us, I let the bird fly and they all ran away.
Tre' laughed at me, I hugged him, "I'm so freaking glad you were in that class! I would've died if I had to dance with one of the jocks," I shuddered.
I heard one of the preps tell their jock boyfriends, "it's so obvious she's screwing them all, look, she's wearing that other punk's jersey and then hugging that other punk."
My eyes turned fiery and my mouth curled into an evil smile, Tre' looked scared, you can never tell what I'm going to do.
"Rach, what you going to do?" he asked.
I shrugged my shoulders and decided to wait another day for this punishment that she was going to get.
"All right students, bow and curtsey to your partners and get in your stance," Mrs. Brean yelled at us.
I bowed at Tre' and he curtseyed, I laughed and we got into our dancing stance, the girl grabs the guy's left hand while the guy grabs the girl's right hand, and the girl puts her hand on the guy's shoulders and the guy puts his hands on the girl's hips.
"Don't get any ideas Mr. Cool," I whispered into his ear, he just smirked as we waited for the music to dance, the prep that said that nasty thing about me and her jock boyfriend were staring at us. I ignored them and focused my attention to dancing.
Tre' lead and I just followed, Mrs. Brean yelled out, "remember guys, your girl is to show off the girl, she is the picture, you are the frame!"
I sighed, I hated this, I put my head on Tre's shoulder and he whispered "are you wearing anything special to the dance?"
I nodded as best as I could on his shoulder, he put his head on mine and he continued dancing, then I realized, the music was done. I looked up and saw everyone staring at us, some with weird expressions on their faces because I did that. I lifted my head which made Tre' look up at everyone, we looked at everyone, holding each other, I smiled up at him. He smiled back at me and we seperated.
At the Dance
I walked inside of the gymnasium, it looked ok, for a dance. I looked around for everyone and I finally found them, being wall flowers, as usual. I rolled my eyes and walked to them.
They all stood straight and looked at me in my dress. Their eyes looked they were going to pop out of their head.
I laughed, I guess I did look pretty, not to brag but it was true, I had a red dress, with black roses climbing like vines all over the dress, it came a little past the knees and it had only spaghetti straps.
They all smiled but Tre' had his mouth open and looking at me up and down. Mike had to close Tre's jaw and Billie had to close Mike's. Billie wasn't interested in me, we tried it before, we realized that we were just friends is all.
Billie let go of Mike's jaw and said, "if you let your jaw drop like that, it'll disconnect from your head."
They weren't paying attention, Tre' replied, "huh? Oh yea that sounds great Billie."
I chuckled and they all looked really good, blazers and dress pants. I stood there and Tre' came up to me.
"Want to get some punch?" he asked, I nodded, trying not to look ecstatic. We walked over to the punch and started talking about how if this dance was going to be any fun.
Mike's P.O.V.
Wow, Rachel sure looks pretty, no not pretty, dazzling.
"Wow," was all I could say.
Billie stared at me, "you know she's soon to be Tre's girl?" he asked me.
I looked at him, confused.
"Yeah, he said he was going to ask her out tonight," he replied to my confused look.
I had to get over Rachel, and quickly, I didn't want to like my best friend's girlfriend. I looked around for a moment, wanting to see some potential in at least someone, but I didn't. We were the only punks in the whole school. Man what a dork I am, she wouldn't want to go out with me anyway. I saw that Tre' and Rach had began to dance, not with each other, it was a fast song. I saw one of Rachel's friends, Zack began to dance near her, she smiled and continued to dance. I knew Zack was attracted to her, they were like siblings, including the fighting part, she tells him everything and vice versa. Then came on a hip-hop song, I groaned and sat down, everyone came back with the same look on their faces, disgust.
The preps were dancing around the jocks like the sluts they were, I laughed because they tried so hard. Rachel got an evil smile on her face and she looked at me, "Mikey boy?" she asked. I looked her and I secretly wanted to dance with her, she even said I was the best dancer. She took my hand and lead me to the middle of the gym and began dancing like the preps. I took her lead and started dancing like that too, this was all fun and games, we weren't turning into preps or anything. She started laughing and so did I, we were making fun of preps at dancing and when we made fun of preps, we didn't back off or anything, we did make fun of them. We walked back to the guys and everyone had different expressions on their faces. Billie had the emotion of shock, surprise Billie! Zack had the look of overprotective in him, he wasn't ready for his "sister" to quite grow up to dance like that! Tre's face was the worst though, it was hurt and anger, oh man, what was I going to do? Rachel protected me and said, "look you guys, we were making fun of the preps, it's not a big deal, we didn't do anything way too serious."
Rachel walked away, before anyone could reach out and comfort her. I sighed and sat down.
"You... you... you" Tre' started.
"Don't give me that crap Tre'! This wasn't my doing! I like her too you know!" I yelled.
Half of the people turned to look at me, I was angry, I couldn't breath. Was I having a panic attack? Not now, not in front of all of this people. I walked off and walked out the doors. And leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
"Mikey?" I heard a whisper say.
I turned my head to see Rachel, my breathing was getting heavier and I was wheezing.
"Mikey boy, listen to me.. sweetie listen to me!" I lolled my head to her. "Repeat after me ok?" I nodded.
"1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9," she said, she repeated.
"1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9," I said. I started to calm down. I repeated this until my breathing was normal, I repeated it one more time and smiled up at her. She smiled and I hugged her.
"Thank you, for everything." She looked up and kissed me.
"Swing it? What is this, the 1920's?" I asked my friend Mike.
He snickered but the teacher glared at me.
