You groan as you see Josh Manky put up the school dance poster in the cafeteria. Immediately some girls rush up to him to ask him to the dance, but you just roll your eyes and look back at the food on your plate.

"What's up with you?" Ron, your best friend, asks you.

"It's the school dance this Friday." You tell him.

"Oh yeah!"

Ron puts a piece of corn on his spoon and flicks it up into the air for Rufus to catch.

"Who are you going to ask?" Ron asks you, after high-fiving his pet naked molerat.

"No one." You say bluntly.

"What?"

Even Rufus turns to look at you with a confused and surprised expression.

"I'm not going." You say.

"Why not?" Asks Ron.

"Because the school dance is totally lame. Besides, I don't know anyone worth going with."

"What about me?"

"Ron, your my best friend."

"Yeah, so?"

"So, if I were to go I'd want to go with someone on a date." You tell him.

"A date, right." Ron says, "A dating like a date like date, kind of way. Uh-huh."

You roll your eyes with a smile.

"Are you going with Kim again?" You ask him.

"No, she's going to ask Josh Manky." Ron shudders.

Rufus pokes his tongue out and mimics Josh's name.

"You'd think she'd have better taste." You say, "So then who are going to ask?"

"You mean like on a date... or as an enemy?" Ron looks petrified at his last statement.

"A date, you moron." You laugh.

"Oh right, the dating like a date thing. I can do that, no problem. For me to get a date, who am I not going to ask?"

Rufus and you both chuckle as Ron sweeps his hair back.

"Target number one." He says, looking behind you.

You turn around to see one of the cheerleaders by herself near the canteen. Ron puts Rufus in his pocket and then strides over to the cheerleader. You can't hear anything but you immediately laugh as the cheerleader shoves him away from her and walks out of the cafeteria.

"See, was that so hard?" Ron asks you, after walking back to the table.

"Only to watch." You laugh.

For the whole week Ron had been asking various girls at the school to go on a date with him to the dance. He even aparently, as Kim says, asked out some girls during their mission at Tokyo. That made you laugh.

Ron is actually so brave. You and Kim have yet to ask anyone out to the school dance, and it was already Thursday afternoon. So, with a sigh, you close your locker after putting your bag on your shoulder.

"Hey, (Y/n)." Ron says, leaning on the other lockers next to yours.

"Hey, Ron. Had any success yet?" You ask.

"Nope, but that's not stopping me."

"At least your persistent."

You smile and then start heading over to the front of the school to get picked up by your parents. Everyone was filing out of the building which made it a bit cramp to walk through the hallways.

"What about you?" Ron asks, bumping you on the shoulder with his, "Asked anyone yet?"

"Nope." You say.

"Why not?"

"I told you, Ron. I'm not going to the dance."

You both walk out of the double doors at the front of the school and make your way over to the parking lot.

"Well, then. It looks like I have no choice." Ron says.

"What are you talking about?" You ask.

Ron walks in front of you, stopping you, and holds his hands together in a praising sort of way.

"Please, (Y/f/n). Go to the school dance with me." He says with puppy dog eyes.

"What?" You ask, slightly shocked.

"Please, please, please?"

He continues to look at you with those puppy dog eyes of his and you internally groan.

"Fine." You say.

"Really?" Ron asks.

"Yes. I'll go to the dance with you."

"Sweet! Pick you up at 7? Wait, no. Can you pick me up at 7? You can actually swing by at around 7:15. Actually, no. My mum is going to be ironing my pants so maybe 7:30?"

You laugh and kiss Ron on the cheek, which stops his rant and makes him blush.

"7:30, then. See you tomorrow." You say, and then walk over to your parent's car.

Ron smiles as he waves at you and watches you leave. Rufus pops out of his pocket and they both high-five each other.

The dance was actually really fun. Ron complemented you on your dress and you two danced the whole night. Kim even finally asked Josh out so they danced with each other. Occasionally you'd all group together and dance with each other or just sit down with a drink and talk.

To be honest, the whole night flew by. Before you knew it the dance was over and everyone had to leave. But the one moment you'll always remember is when you and Ron slow danced at the end of the night. He's actually such a great dancer. It's surprising what you find out about him.

"Goodnight." You text again, after about the 50th time tonight.

"Goodnight." Ron texts you back.

You smile and then type out another message.

"Are you actually going to go to bed?" - you

"Yeah." - Ron

"Honestly?" - you

"Ok, I'm going to stay up." - Ron

"Lol. Can I keep talking to you, then?" - you

"Totally." - Ron

"Cool (:" - you

"Hey, (Y/n)?" - Ron

"Yeah?" - you

"Thanks for going to the dance with me." - Ron

"No problem. Thanks for asking me. I had a really great time." - you

"Me too." - Ron

"And (Y/n)?" - Ron

"Yeah?" - you

"Can I go with you again next year?" - Ron

"Lol. Of course." - you
