The One I Love... (Part 3)

I sat down,and I saw Kari running away.I smirked as I saw Mantas and Daph coming back from their dance.

"Did you guys have fun?",I asked happily,as if nothing had happened.

"We sure did! Your boyfriend is a great dancer!",Daphne said happily.

I saw Mantas' face light up red.I also felt my face heat up.

"... He is your boyfriend,isn't he?",Daph questioned.

---

Joshua and Claudia danced quietly.Claudia slowly leaned her head onto Josh's shoulder.

"I love you...",She muttered her feelings into Joshua's shoulder,barely being audible.

"What was that?",Josh asked.

"Oh... Nothing..."

They enjoyed their dance a moment longer,before being interrupted by Kari.

"You guys have to help me! Please!"

Josh sighed in annoyance,but answered anyway,"What do you want? A dance?"

"No! Kate assaulted me!",She answered to Josh.

Josh's expression suddenly went from annoyance to shock.Until he thought for a moment,and his lips curled themselves into a sly smirk,then he let out a laugh.

"Did you say anything she 'assaulted' you?",Joshua asked.

"N-no,just some playful b-banter!",She said with much nervousness in her voice.

Claudia's lips also curved intio a smirk.

"Oh,I think there was more than 'playful banter'.",Joshua said while walking away from Kari.

"You jerk!",Kari yelled at Josh.

"Excuse me Kari,may I have a word with you outside?",Claudia asked.

"Um... Sure... I guess."

The two females headed outside,before Kari started to ask Claudia why she brought her out here.That is,until Claudia's hand was brought painfully to Kari's face.

"That's for interrupting our dance,you *****!",Claudiayelled before stomping back into the building.

---

Me,Josh,Mantas and Daph were all sitting down,talking to eachother and laughing about the stories we each told.

Claudia sat down at the fifth chair at the table.

"Oi,where were you,Claudia?",I asked,noticing her rubbing her hand tenderly."What happened to your hand?"

"Gah,I think I broke my hand on that girl's face...",Claudia said.

Truth be told,me and Claudia can get pretty violent when we're angry... Or insulted.

"Huh?",Mantas started,before Claudia started to explain what happened.

"Well,I took her outside and- Ow!",Claudia said,before Josh elbowed her in the ribs.She just realized what she started to tell him.

"O-oh,uh... I'm thirsty! I'm gonna go get something to drink! Ha ha ha!",She said nervously,before taking off towards the punch table,tripping over her own chair in the process.

Mantas simply shrugged,and I sighed.

---

The night was over,and we said our goodbyes to Daph,Josh and Claudia,before Mantas took me home.

Once there,we stepped out of the car,and talked for a moment.

"So,I suppose I'll see you at school this week?",Mantas asked.

Argh.School.I see Kari there everyday(We're in the same classes.),but I only SEE Mantas there every now-and-then.

"Um,yeah,I guess!",I said."Um,Mantas? Do you think you ould come visit me tomarrow?"

"Sure.Is it fine with your parents?",He asked.

"They're gone on vacation for a couple of weeks,so I have to house all to myself.",I sighed.

He smiled and nodded.

Well,I guess this is the part where the Handsome Prince kisses the Charming Princess,eh? Pssh.In my dreams.

I started to walk away.

"Kate?" I heard him say.I turned around,and I was pulled into a loving embrace.I was shocked at first,but I got used to it after a couple of seconds.He pushed me away a bit,and I whimpered at the loss of his warmth.

Then...

He kissed me.

He KISSED me.

HE FREAKIN' KISSED ME.

Much,much,much, MUCH better than a hug!

He slowly pulled away,and I saw his face.Aww,he's so cute when he's blushing!

"So,what time tomarrow?"

"... Wellll,I usually wake up at about 7:00 AM,so about 9?"

He nodded.We turned our backs to eachother's and I ran into my house.Needless to say,I went to sleep pretty happy that night.
