I entered the dance the next day feeling so, so out of place. I noticed Jordan (dressed as a wolfman) and Katelyn (wearing her vampire outfit) dancing together. I searched for Malakai, and I jumped three feet in the air when someone grabbed me from behind. "Boo!" I twirled around quickly to see Malakai, dressed as a hot dog. "Wow. Very PG, Malakai." "Why can't a guy just dress like his favorite food?" "My god, Malakai." "Well. I can see Miss Malcolm has decided to join the Rebellion." He was obviously pointing out my Princess Leia costume. My head was killing me from that hairstyle. I laughed. "Oh, yeah. It's always been my calling." He grabbed my hand, and for a moment, I became lost in his eyes. I shook my head and asked, "What's step six?" "You, Mal. It's you." His reply took me aback. "Katelyn's saw you living it up last year, and it made her sad that you guys lost touch." My eyes clouded with tears. Katelyn, with fake blood dripping down her neck, walked over to us, her eyes lighting up at the sight of my face. I quickly yanked hand from Malakai's grip. "Hey, Malakai. I can't believe you did all this, and just for me!" She hugged him, obviously overjoyed. There was an odd feeling in my throat as the hugged. I realized with a pang that it was jealousy. Katelyn let go, and walked over to Jordan, then led him back over. A slower song begun to play, and, as Katelyn placed her hand of Jordan's shoulder, he blurted out, "I cut." Katelyn's expression softened. "Me, too." The two spun away, and Malakai grabbed my hand again. He put his other hand on my waist and I put mine on his shoulder, staring into his eyes. "Mal, I have lot to tell you." "I'm listening." "I asked you to help for two reasons. One, Katelyn obviously wanted to reconnect with you. Two, I've had the biggest crush on you for a long time." My mouth dropped open. Malakai let go of me, cupped my face in his hands, and, you can guess what happened next.

Ok, fine, since you're all dimwits anyway.

Our lips met and I closed my eyes, my face was almost numb.

When we stopped, I asked, "Why? Why me? I'm nothing special." "No, Malcolm Redmond. You're everything special."
