True Friends

By Joy McCarthy

Ch 5

I ran home from school that after noon. When I got to my room I started throwing things into my closet. I stopped to pull out my CD collection and my stash of glow sticks. Finally I ran down stairs to get the snacks ready, I was half done when I heard the doorbell ring. I ran out of the kitchen, skidded along the front hall and stopped at the front door I looked at my self in the mirror, those blue-gray eyes looked back at me. I opened the door.

"Hey, come in, Aaron go DJ. Kira can you help me in the kitchen." I said as I walked back to the kitchen. Kira followed me and we got together the last food and sodas. We took it all up to my room where Aaron had put on some of my techno and Jeffery, Matt, Monica, Sierra and Steven were dancing. I sat down with Omi and Yohji and we practiced our lines. Finally I couldn't take not dancing anymore. I stood and let my body began to move. I succumbed to the rhythm and the beat. I moved into the center of the room, as the others moved to sit down on the bed or the beanbags and chairs. They watched me dance, Omi and Yohji were mesmerized by the way my hips moved. Then suddenly the song ended and I stopped with it, the room exploded with applauses. " Jasmine we didn't know that you could do that." Yohji and Omi said stared at me wide eyed. Jeffery sat there smiling because he had shown me how to dance like that. "I didn't know I could do that either. I just let the beet take control." I said smiling at Jeffery. "You boys want to dance?" I said in my best sexy voice with a seductive grin. Yohji got up and grabbed me around the waist. He pulled me close to him and slowly moved his face close to mine until finally our lips met.

The kiss was soft and slow and was serenaded by the woops of our friends. It felt like I was melting in his arms. When we finally separated every one had gathered around Jeffery and I saw them exchanging money.

"I honestly thought that he'd wait tell they got married." Matt said to every one else.

"You guys were betting on when we would kiss?" I asked them in a shocked tone of voice. Then we all left and they gave me the money. We sat around and danced and worked on our lines tell ten that night when I sent them all home to sleep.
