★ The Dance ★

Soulmates | 7

Craig's POV

Today was the day, this afternoon there would be the Tea kids's dance.

I'm very anxious... I don't even know if Omar will come!

- What's happened Craig? -

I turned to see Jessica, we were walking home from school.

- Uh- nothing..? - I said and then continued to look at the ground.

- Craig, it doesn't look like nothing, what happened? - Jessica asked raising an eyebrow.

I sighed.

- Well... do you know the Tea kids's dance? -

- The Valentine's Day one? Yes, you were screaming it all over the house- - She joked.

- Well... there's one thing I didn't say... -

Jessica looks at me confused.

- What do you mean? -

- ...in the invitation that George, one of the Tea kids, gave us... it said that you could invite your "soulmate"... - Jessica looks at me confused for a second.

- Soulmates exist? -

- I don't- - I facepalmed.

- That's not the point Jessica-! -

- Wha- oooh- - She said understanding.

- So you want to bring your "soulmate"? You mean, you like someone? -

- Yes.. - I whispered, blushing a little.

- Like mom and dad? So you want to ki- - I interrupted her.

- NO- - I said blushing more.

- Good, because it sounds gross- so who is this "soulmate" of yours? - She asked curiously.

- Emh... do you remember Om- Green Poncho..? He helped us when we got lost in the woods. -

- The guy in the green hoodie? -

- Yes, though it's a Ponch- -

- Craaaaig- stop being such a sticker! - Jessica said.

- I'm not being a sticker- And anyway, it's called a stickler. -

Jessica looked at me with a look that said 'are you serious?'.

- Anyway. Do you like the boy with the green PONCHO? - Jessica asked.

- Yes... -

- Did you invite him to the dance? Because it would be a little dumb not to, if he is your "soulmate".- She said.

I'm a little surprised by her reaction, I expected her to take it differently, but instead she's saying it as if it was a completely normal thing.

( A/N: Because it's a very normal thing. )

- Well yes.. even if I don't know if he will come.. -

- Why? - She asked, as we arrived at the entrance to the house.

- It's complicated.. -

- Okay.. if you say so.. -

Omar's POV

I was at the gallery, I was waiting for Raj and Shawn.

Today there was going to be the dance, and I am going to confess to Craig, for real this time and nothing can ruin this afternoon.

Kelsey is right, there was a chance Craig would return my feelings.

I just have to find out, and I can't keep hiding how I feel.
