Dance with me

Chapter Twenty - Making an appearance

Chapter 20

   After Brianna called Mila to update her about the whole Avery's situation, Jake, Mila and I decided to go to the party together and let our other two friends alone. 

   I was very excited about the contestant that Mike told me about. It's been a while since I have performed for someone other than my teachers. And today I would be able to test if my dance is able to convince people that I'm good enough for the company.

   When I was almost leaving, my phone beeped and I went to check on it.

   Avery: Did you talk to Brianna?

   I've never received any text message from Avery so that was the first. And I decided to call him back  insted of sending a message so I just dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.

   "Hey." He said after two beeps.

   "So..." I started. "You know that I'm not gonna tell you what Brianna and I talked, right?" 

   "I do." Avery said a little disappointed.

   "Just making sure." I told him. "How is it going with you two?" If Brianna couldn't tell me then maybe he would be able to.

   "You know I've never done anything like this, right?" He chuckled and I smiled to myself. Yeah, the manwhore never dated one girl for more than a week. (The thre ones he was dating didn't count because there was actually no commitment at all!)

   "You don't have to be like every other couple, Ave. You are Avery and Brianna, for Christ's sake." I assured him knowing that he was probably wondering what he should do.

   "What should I do, anyways? Buy her flowers, a ring?" He asked and I almost laughed. If that was what he thought of a relationship, Brianna was screwed.

   "How about just tell her you're official and stop dating other girls?" I suggested. That would be enough to calm Brianna down.

   "But I've already done that, haven't I?" He asked confused.

   "I don't think so." I said almost singing.

   "Tell me what to do, then. I'm lost..." I really was trying to keep myself out of this but now that I got in I guess I couldn't step back.

   "Go to her room, tell her you're dating, but do not ask if she wants, just tell her! Then take her to tonight's party... I'll be competing in the contest and I could use some friend time." I told him and felt like I was Dr. Phill giving him advice.

   "I'll do that." Avery said and I could feel his determination. "I owe you, Ann." He said softly and I smiled. 

   "I'll make sure you pay me later, then." I joked and he chuckled. "Go get her, now." And then I hung up, holding the cellphone to my chest. 

   Back when I was younger I haven't been used to having a lot of friends. At school I had a couple of friends that I used to hang out with but that was all. Noas was the only one that  break got to break the wall that I built for the world after my mother left. 

   And now I had the most wonderful friends in the world and I have no idea how this happened. It was so fast that they became a part of my life. 

   Mila was always there since my first day at school giving the fact that she was my roomate but I guess that this year we became closer than before and I regret that I didn't let her in last year.
