Give All the Credit to the Hot Cocoa

Chapter 6: Dance and Chocolate

"Look. They are having a back to school dance.", Claire said stopping at the info board.
"Huh. Maybe Kaleb will ask you out!", Jackie sang.
"Yeah, right! Kaleb doesn't like me. I'm such a geek.", I said mater of factly.
"What ever.", Claire said and we all walked away.
*
"Byron! Look.", Kaleb said pointing to the school dance poster.
"What? The poster? Who you gonna ask?", Byron asked.
"You know that girl, Skyler. I was gonna ask her. We've been hanging out lately and I just can't stay away from her.", he said after taking a few sips of his hot cocoa.
"That girl? She alright. She cute and stuff. Whatever dude. I would just listen to your heart. If you really want her go for it before someone takes her.", Byron dazed at the sky.
"Dude, you've been hanging out with the sensitive kids too much.", Kaleb said.
"What can I say. They really have made an impression on me. By the way there names are John, Carter, Jack and Ernie. Don't be hatin.", Byron said. They laughed then walked away. They didn't know that Paige had heard everything from behind a trash can.
"Skyler will not get away with this.", she exclaimed while stomped her foot then turn to leave.
*
"Knock, knock! Skyler are you in there?", Paige said gently. Skyler opened the door and stepped out the room.
"What do you want, Paige?"
" I just wanted to give you some chocolates. I've been really mean to you. I guess, I just thought you were trying to replace me but you aren't. Here.", she handed me the chocolates.
"Uhhhhh.....thanks.", I said then went back in my room. Paige walked away and got out her phone.
"Hey. The plan is a go.", she exclaimed as she whipped her hair then walked on.
"These chocolates are sooooooo good.", I said as I was eating the chocolates Paige gave me. I was only eating them because I really thought that Paige changed.
"Ding, ding!" I picked up my phone.
"Hey, Kaleb wants to see me in the gym under the bleachers after class.", I said then went back to eating chocolates.
*
"Hey, Kaleb. What's up",I said as I clenched my stomach.
"Hey. You okay? You look a little pale.", he said while putting his arm around me.
"Yeah. My stomach just hurts that's it. Ugh. I need to sit down.", I said very weak like. Kaleb led me to the bleachers so I could sit.
"Well, I was just wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me.", he asked as he started into my eyes while I stared into his. And then it happened before I could say anything the worst thing EVER happened. This is how it was suppose to go.
"Oh my beautiful Skyler! Will you go to the dance with me?"
"Oh, Kaleb I would love to."
"I will pick you up on my pet unicorn Fluffers. And we will sore high in the sky then to the dance." But this is how it really happened.
"Well, Skyler I was just wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me."
"I, I blahh!" Right then I threw up on Kaleb. I couldn't stop either! It was everywhere. He was grossed out but went and grabbed the nearest small trash can, gave it to me then helped me to the nurses office. I keep spewing and Kaleb just kept walking me to the nurses office. He laid me on the couch gently.
"What's up with her?", the nurse asked.
"I don't know. She said she wasn't feeling well then she just started throwing up. I have proof.", he pointed to his shirt. My throw up was all over it. Now he is probably going to second guess me and him at the dance.
"I will see what I can do. Just go sit in the waiting room and I will have a look.", the nurse exclaimed while putting on gloves. Kaleb ran over to me and helped me up over to the nurse. He mouthed you will be fine then left.
*
I came out the nurses office perfectly fine. Kaleb jumped straight up and hugged me. I hugged him back.
"Are you okay?", He asked.
"I'm fine. She figured out that I had some medicine that made me sick and throw up. She also said that it was Paige who did it because she remember giving her some of the medicine because she "ate something bad". When she turned around she took the bottle then said she felt fine and it was just a pretzel she ate then left. Then I figured out that she put that on my chocolates. I'm sorry about your shirt. I am so blinded.", I said.
"It's okay. But you owe me a new shirt.",he said. I playfully shoved him as we walked to class.
"Hey, so do you want to go to the dance or no?", he asked looking at my eyes.
"Did I throw up on your shirt?"
"Yes."
"Then you've answered your own question.", I said.
