Chapter 10: Two Left Feet

5:30 A.M.
Friday Morning
Beats' Bedroom

A steady alarm could be heard ringing making Beats wake up still on the ground feeling extremely tired. I feel like crap, gotta go to school though. Beats stood up then he gasped when he realized his leg felt perfectly fine. Holy shit, I did it! I feel like a million bucks, but where's Cosette? Hmm, she'll be back I think. Time to prep for this dance wait a minute. . .

7:23 A.M.
Friday Morning
Lockwood Library

Beats complained.

"How am I supposed to go to a dance when I can't dance?! I'm going to look so stupid!"

Zach reassured while reading his book calmly.

"He calm down, you're in a library not a mental hospital. Okay let's see, can she dance?"

Beats froze in thought, honestly not knowing the answer before arguing.

"How am I supposed to know man?!"

Zach asked slyly.

"Isn't she like your girlfriend or something like that?"

Beats blushed before scorning.

"Why does everyone keep saying that?! We're just friends!"

Zach suggested.

"Well if so many people are telling you something isn't it always better to trust them rather to go against them?"

Beats stood up frustrated.

"Doesn't matter just know we're not dating. I'm going to homeroom."

Zach stated.

"Well anyway, just hope she is as bad as dancing as you. That way you'll both look like idiots."

Beats snagged his book bag on his shoulders before mumbling.

"Thanks."

Zach watched as Beats walked off clearly still angry with himself.

Beats was walking in the hallway with his hands in his pockets. Why do people think we're dating? I mean I don't hate Bonnie but we're just friends, right? Beats looked up revealing Bonnie was walking towards him. Beats scoffed, "Sup." Bonnie smiled while replying, "Oh hey Beats, whoa your leg isn't in a cast anymore!"

Beats chuckled, "Oh yeah, I'm tough as nails. Better remember that."

Bonnie blushed before giggling, "Will do. So um the dance is tonight, are you uh ready?"

Beats joked, "You say "uh" and "um" a lot when you're nervous, heh heh." Bonnie whined as she playfully punched Beats in his arm, "That's not funny-!" Beats laughed, "You didn't let me finish, its cute." Bonnie's eyes were wide open and so was her mouth as she stared into Beats eyes. Bonnie asked, "R-really? You mean it?" Beats was overcome by Bonnie's cuteness causing him to stay silent until the bell rung loudly. Bonnie snapped out of it as she gasped, "I uh gotta go, my homeroom teacher is really strict. See you at the dance!" Bonnie ran off with a smile on her face leaving Beats confused. Why is she so cute?!

2:00 P.M.
Friday Afternoon
Lockwood Parking Lot

Bonnie And Beats were having a conversation were the buses were getting ready to leave. Bonnie instructed, "6:30! Okay? Nothing earlier or later than that time, this is your first time you are going to meet my parents. I want them to have a good outlook on you. So don't be late or early, hear me?" Beats grumbled, "Yeah, yeah I hear yo-." Bonnie quickly hugged Beats before insisting, "Please don't mess this up, please." Beats was shocked as Bonnie ran off to her bus. Ah man, she really cares about this dance. I can't mess this up. Wait a minute . . .
