~*~* Thursday *~*~

Ugh! It was Thursday and I was walking to the gym for the Dance Committee meeting. I looked at the walls, actually paying attention to them. They were white, but dirty enough to be beige, and some of the lockers had graffiti on them. I started counting the lockers, but the numbers got jumbled in my head and I was left confused. 

I rounded the corner and opened the double doors to the gym. The gym in Killara Shore High School, was pretty big, it had the basketball floor that had Killara Shore High School on it with a Koala on top of the name. 

"Hey! I didn't think you were actually gonna come!" Olivia said, running up to me, clipboard in hand.

"I didn't think I was gonna come either until I saw the committee list." I said, giving her a fake smile.

She confusedly smiled back and then announced, “ OK! I’m about to announce our stations!” Everyone nodded back and I hoped I wasn’t on stage setup. I hate using electrical outlets... “BUT, before we do that we need partners,” I smiled to myself just to be bursted by little miss organized. 

“Which I have already chosen! Ok, so myself and Harley Jorge. Charlotte Porla and...” this was so boring, until I heard my name. Let’s see who she put me with. “Abigail Piper and Alexander Luca. Ryan Reynolds.....” I was literally jumping for joy inside. “--- Ok... Get with your partners and we’ll announce your positions! Go.” 

We immediately went straight to each other... “Weird we got paired together, huh?” I asked.

“Yeah, I was a little shocked at that too!” we both shared a smile.

“Ok guys so, I’ll go over to each of you and tell your station.” she said then started. 

“Well, I wonder what we’re going to be doing... Don’t you?” he asked me.

“Yeah, I hope it doesn’t have to do with anything electrical. I hate that stuff!” then I fake shuttered and we both laughed.

Olivia came up to us, “You guys are on streamers.” Then runs off.

“I guess we’re pretty lucky! Let’s go” I said then ran towards the streamers with him by my side.

When we finished, I admired our work. It looked amazing! All the streamers were hanging through the rafters. Black, yellow, orange, and white streamers gracefully put up with some hanging. Then I looked around, the whole gym looked amazing! You didn’t see our logo on the ground. The white balloons hung from the pillars in bunches. The tables looked amazing and we finally finished and were dismissed. 

“Hey so... How did you get here?” Alex asked.

“I drove.... You?” I said.

“I walked.”

“How far?”

“2 miles?” he shrugged.

“Would you like a ride?”

“Yes...”

“Follow me.”

I showed him to my car and said, “ can’t you drive?”  he shook his head in response. “Oh.... Well, where am I dropping you off?” 

“145 West Tulane Ave.” 

I was amazed by his answer because that was right down the street from my house. “Oh ok... I know where that is.”

“So... Where do you live?”

“ I live on 247 West Tulane Ave”

He gasped and nodded. We continued on talking about random stuff. When we arrived to his house he said bye and leant in to kiss me on the cheek. He said bye again and when he was out of sight I started giggling and blushing on the drive back to my house. This dance was going to be so much fun! WAIT!!!! WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR! I haven’t even thought of that yet, and the dance is tomorrow! 

Halloween was going to be hard to accomplish in less than 24 hours! Maybe if I think hard and apply my skills to the fashion world! I will have an amazing, extraordinary costume. If I can think of one before midnight tonight!
