I'm Happy Just to Dance with You

~Chapter 17

I stayed up all night thinking of George. Of the way he talks, the way he dances, of the way he kisses. I couldn't even stop thinking about his fangs. I barley got any sleep.

When I woke up it was too soon. I was awoken by my mother by ripping the covers off of me.

"Wake up!" she yelled in my ear.

"What? Can't I sleep? It is the weekend you know" I muttered half asleep.

"Not to one o'clock you can't" she told me. I looked at my clock. It was one o'clock. Crap. I missed breakfast.

I got dressed and had a lunch of grilled cheese. I grabbed my purse and walked out. "Where do you think you're going?" said mom.

"To a friends house."

She eyed me suspiciously. "Alright. You can stay for dinner if you want but I want you home so you can do homework." "Yes mother." I walked out the door.

I went over to Kaithlyn's house. I knocked on the door and a person still in pajamas and bed hair opened the door. "What do you want?" she said sounding as if she literally woke up to answer the door.

"Aren't you just a little ray of sunshine?" I mocked her. She stuck her tongue out at me. I just laughed. "Can I come in?"

She opened the door wider so I could walk in. "So what's up?" I asked.

"I was sleeping." She gave me a dirty look. "Good for you. Do you want to go shopping later or go do something?" I asked. "Yeah sure just let me get dressed." she slowly walked up the stairs. It almost looked like she was a zombie.

"So what do ye want to do?" asked Kaithlyn. "Want to go shopping or something?" I suggested since I was at a loss for ideas.

"Let me get my purse." She ran quickly up the stairs to her room and then quickly back down. "Ready."

"I really like these ones." Kaithlyn stared longingly at a pair of shoes. "Then why don't you get them?" I asked her.

"I just don't have enough money. I'm already going to get these ones" she pointed to a box I hadn't noticed that was in her arms. "Oh, well do you want me to buy you them? I'm not really interested in the shoes here."

"No no no. You don't have to do that for me," she protested. "Well I'm getting them for you." I took the pair and walked to register.

She scanned the shoes and I paid. Then Kaithlyn paid for her other ones. "Enjoy your new pair of shoes." I handed her the bag.

"Thanks but you didn't have to." I smiled. "Well that's what friends do." She looked and smiled at me too.

"So, uh, what's going on between you and John?"

Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red. "Um, I like him but I probably won't get the chance to go out with him or anything."

"I have an idea!" I blurted out. She turned to me with a confused look. "Which is?"

"Well why don't you, John, George, and I, all go out on a double date?" I asked maybe a little too excitedly.

"Oh I don't know. What if he doesn't like me?" She worried. "He'll love you. It looks like he already has a crush on you." I winked and she blushed.

"Okay why not." She gave me a worried smile. "This'll be fun. Plus We'll all get along. John and George are already mates and are in the band together." I reassured her.

I knocked on George's door. George opened it holding an apple in his other hand reminding me of how hungry I am.
