Opposites Are Supposed to Attract Right

chapter 8

Clawdeen bounced into Monster High Monday morning humming a tune from her favorite Taylor Swiftpaws song. She strode over to her locker with a new spring in her step, waving her tail to the tune in her head as she grabbed her books and elbowed her locker shut.

raculara appeared next to her, pink eyes glued to her iCoffin. "Spectra says that Phantonian asked her to the most romantic place last night." The pink vampire squealed. "I wonder where it is, don't you?"
Clawdeen, lost in her own world, completely ignored her friend as she strode past and walked down the hall to the ghouls' bathroom. Draculara looked up to see Clawdeen gone and wondered where her friend had gone. Looking down the hall, she saw the werewolf disappear into the ghouls' room. Racing to catch up, Draculara found Clawdeen touching up her make-up in front of the mirror.
"What do you think, Dee?"
"Bout what?" Clawdeen asked absently.
"About Spectra's status on Chitter."
"Oh yeah, it's great."
Draculara raised an eyebrow for a moment before nodding. "It is great. So, wanna head to the mall with me today?"
"Sure, I'll meet you there after school." Draculara grinned and they headed off to class.

All weekend, Clawdeen couldn't get the date out of her head and couldn't wait to ask Toralei again. She knew it would probably have to be Friday or Saturday again because of fearleading practice. Clawdeen felt sorry that Toralei had to put up with Cleo's torture, but there was nothing she could do about it. During lunch, Clawdeen tried sitting at the lunch table with her friends, but decided against that since she couldn't sit with her… what? Was Toralei her girlfriend now? Or did they just go out? How many dates until you could call someone your girlfriend? Did you have to ask?
Clawdeen thought about these questions on the roof as she ate and chuckled at the last one. "I can hear myself now. 'Toralei? Will you be my girlfriend?' I-."
"Of course I will."
Toralei grabbed her normal lunch and headed up to the roof like usual. Purrsephone and Meowlody were sitting with their boyfriends and it made Toralei feel like the fifth wheel. So she decided to see if Clawdeen was up there. When she got to the roof, Toralei got a major surprise.
As she was closing the door leading down into the school, she heard Clawdeen ask, "Toralei? Will you be my girlfriend?"
Toralei whirled around and exclaimed, "Of course I will!"
Clawdeen gasped and jumped, turning to her in surprise. "You will?" The werewolf asked softly.
"Of course I will." Toralei repeated softly, moving over to sit next to Clawdeen on the railing of the school roof.
"Thanks." Clawdeen beamed. "A-and I was wondering… if you would like to go dancing again Saturday? To work off the stress of fearleading practice."
Toralei nodded at this. "Sure. It would help me get over wanting to strangle Cleo for awhile."
Clawdeen giggled at this and agreed. "So, meet at the usual place?"
"You got it. Hang out here during lunch?"
"Not like anyone bothers to notice."
They shared a slight kiss before heading back down to their friends and their classes, anticipation for Saturday settling in both their stomachs. The only thing to do now was last through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
