Kaycee - Find or Leave

(Sean's - Kiss won 8-0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sean saw Gabe looking at them with a questioning look as Gabe and most people probably never thought Sean would actually ask out Kaycee which to be fair were right as Sean still didn't

But Sean knew he had to do something to convince Gabe that he was with Kaycee not just because Kaycee wants Gabe gone but he also didn't like Gabe too much

So, he did the first thing that came to mind

He leaned in and kissed her cheek

Just one problem

"Oh, um I believe... I'll leave you alone now" Gabe said feeling awkward at what he just saw as he quickly walked away

The two walked to their next class in silence until they sat at their desks

"Why did you kiss me!?" Kaycee said

"I was trying to kiss your cheek!" Sean said, "Why did you turn your head?!"

"I was going to start telling a story since you weren't saying anything so I turned to you for help," Kaycee said as the two just sighed as that was not how either of them wanted their first kiss to go

"What happened with you two?" Josh asked as he and Julian got to class

"Nothing!" The two said rapidly

Julian noticed their odd behavior and noticed Sean's lips were shiny and Kaycee's weren't as much "Oh my god they kissed!" Julian said realizing Sean had Kaycee's lip gloss on him

"No!" The two said in unison again

"Wow that was the quickest first base ever I can only imagine third" Josh said

"Never speak of this again!" Kaycee said her cheeks getting rosy from embarrassment

"What's going on?" Bailey asked as she and Tahani joined the four

"Sean and Kaycee had their first kiss," Josh said as he kissed Bailey's cheek

"Aw!!!!" Tahani said, "Was it good?"

"How long was it?" Bailey added

"Well based on how far apart Josh and I were to them from lunch I would approximate almost a whole minute," Julian said

"Wow that was closer to a make out than just a kiss," Josh said

"I'm going to die from embarrassment," Kaycee said as her face was fully red

"You're cute" Sean slipped out as he was staring at Kaycee

"😳!!!!!!!💀" Kaycee expressed

1 month later on a Wednesday

Nothing of noteworthy took place during this 30-day span

Julian still with Chloe, Bailey still with Josh, Tahani still with Kobe, and Kaycee still has Sean fake dating her to keep Gabe away despite him still seeing Jenna as well

Only things of note were that World of Dance announced their starting date so acts had to start choreographing for the qualifiers soon

So, Sean and Kaycee spent a lot of time outside of school and dance together which helped their dating facade as well as their chemistry

and Julian decided to do the show as well with Charlize Glass as his partner who also has spent a lot of time together in a more platonic way

Which also meant Bailey and Josh naturally spent more time together as well as Tahani with Kobe
