Moala's POV
The next day I walked into school smiling about our conversations at dinner. I couldn't get over how he called me princess and baby girl. He said it in such a smooth way and was very calming to hear. Our convos are mostly always goofy and school or dance related, but this time it was much deeper. We talked about our past and experiences that made us stronger. It wasn't just the regular 'what's your favorite color' kind of thing. We understood each other on a personal level. It really made my whole week, let alone my day! I needed a talk like that, were we could get real deep and personal and the next, be funny and weird with each other. Even though I told myself I don't have room for dating, we have something. We may not be official and I don't know if I can do an official relationship now, but I definitely know we have a connection.

I did everything that I was supposed to do and went to protocol. We did the pledge and today Moroni did the chant. He walked up to the stage with so much confidence and led 'E ho mai.' He has such a great voice and could really sing. He looked a little red but that went away as grew more comfortable with the stage. He looked over at me and smiled, I loved his smile. He knew what he was doing even if he got side tracked, he still managed to gather everyone's attention. Before I knew it, the chant was over and he took his seat. Richard announced our Sweetheart's dance for the highschool. I looked over at Mo as he smiled. I really hope he asks me or at least accepts my proposal. He looked over at me and winked, like he always did. I blushed and noticed someone staring at me as well. I looked over at saw that it was CJ. He winked at me too, but I felt uncomfortable. I thought it was weird and odd. CJ's like my older brother so for him to do that made me want to throw up. I felt awkward and quickly moved my attention back to Richard. He was already finished and excused us to our classes. I got up and started walking towards English when I was interrupted by my annoying friend, CJ.
"Hey Mo, are you going to the dance?" He asked curiously. My stomach churched and not in a good way.
"Um... I don't know, I'm broke." I said trying to get him to not ask me to the dance.
"I got you." He replied.
"What are you saying?" I asked cringing at the thought of slow dancing with him.
"Do u wanna go to the dance with me?" He asked.
"Um... Sure." I said. I felt bad if I said no. I should've just said I'm going to the dance with Mo. CJ is like a big brother to me and I don't have feelings for him.
Brain- Okay Moala, calm down. He just asked you to the dance, that doesn't mean he wants to hook up with you or date you. Maybe he just wants to go as friends. Its not weird if your 'brother' take you to the dance, lots of people go with family to dances.
Heart- How does he feel about you? Does he just think you guys are just friends, nothing more? What if he does like you and has feelings for you? What are you gonna do about Mo? How will he feel? Does CJ know about you and Mo? How will CJ feel if he finds out about you?
Brain- Mo and her aren't even together, so it shouldn't be a problem if she goes to the dance with CJ. First come, first serve.
Heart- But obviously they have a connection!
Brain- Aren't Mo and Cj best friends? Best friends tell each other everything including who they like. If Mo really liked her, he would've told his best friend, CJ. CJ probably doesn't even know about Mo and her, implying that Mo doesn't really like her, which brings me right back to why our precious Moala shouldn't like Mo. According to Moala's past experiences, Mo is just like the other guys. His probably is jusy gonna play with our girl. Heart, u gotta look at the facts and statements.
Heart- You don't understand brain! Moroni and Moala both feel they same way about each other. Mo is not like the other guys she's dated. Mo calls her cute names and talks about their feelings for example, dinner yesterday night.
Brain- How do you know for sure that he feels the same way? She has never asked him that specific question, I should know I have all her files. Mo was not the only person to call her cute nicknames. Ben called her sunshine, Jr. called her princess, Jay called her hot stuff and baby girl, and let's not forget about Leo with his Spanish names for her like mi amor and mamacita.

Oh shoot what have I done. You just totally scewed your self over. I'm trying to listen to I'm saying, but I'm thinking something and feeling another.
"Good morning baby girl, how was the rest of your night?" Moroni asked.
"Its was great, thanks for talking with me and everything." I said.
"No problem, I like talking with you. We gotta go to class though, but I need to ask you something alright." He winked and kissed my forehead and he walked to his class.

Moroni's POV
Moala walked in school and immediately a smile went on my face. Yesterday at dinner, we talked for ages. I wanted to get to know her more and more on a personal level. We talked about family, love, fake friends, mistakes, bullies, and I honestly really felt a connection. I liked talking to her and getting things off my mind. She understood where I was coming from, and I don't think anyone has ever listened to me that well. Talking to Mo made my entire week, or even month.
We went to protocol and did the pledge. It was my turn to do the chant, so I decided to do the 'E Ho Mai' chant. I looked over to my princess and she was staring right at me. We made eye contact and kept contact until it was over. Richard gave announcements about the Sweethearts Dance this Friday. I looked at Mo again and winked. I want to take her to the dance and take her out. I've already gotten approval from her family so my plan is to pick her up at three, then we'll go get some food and drive around and cruise. We would go wherever she wanted to go, and blast good music on the road. We talked about dates, and she's told me that she doesn't care where she goes, as long as she has a good time, as long as the guy makes an effort. After, I'd take her home to get ready and pick her up at seven. My smile widened and Richard excused us to go to class. I went to go talk to Mo's sister Liku and Tehina. They were joined by Nate and Angel.
"Okay so what her favorite lovey dovey song?"
"What? Why?" Nate sassed.
"Hello, dummy! He's gonna propose!" Angel fired back and punched him in the arm.
"Um.. She has a lot..." Tehina replied trying to think back.
"Yeah... How are you going to propose? Are you just gonna walk up to her while the song is playing... Or what?" Liku asked.
"Well what did she say when you guys asked her of she was going with anyone?" Mo asked.
"She said she doesn't have the money to go, but she also said that she wanted to go with you!" Tehina responded. I pulled out two tickets and said
"Yes, alright, okay just give me a list of songs?" I replied.
"I was thinking of doing something a little old school like Stand By Me or I could do Suga Suga by Baby Bash."
"Yes, do Stand By Me! That would be perfect! You would be in a suit and for and your colors, it would be... Maroon! She loves marroon! I could plan your outfits and how you would propose!" Nate squealed. I should've known he was going to put in his two sense.
"Eh, no! Do Suga sagar! You can groove and dance to it a little better." Angel added.
"Okay fine, do Suga sugar..." Nate said.
I nodded and headed over to Mo
She was standing right in front of Miss Marble's door.
"Good morning baby girl! How was the rest of your night?" I asked. She smiled replied with,
"It was great, thanks for talking with me yesterday." She said hugging me.
"No problem, I like talking to you!" I said. I actually love talking to her, it makes my day, even if its just a simple hi.
"We gotta go to class, but I need to ask you something alright?" I said ask I kissed her for head and winked. I walked to class anxious to tell Po and Peter.
