Joseph was slightly amused that the girl who had jumped when he had touched her hand, had now grabbed his and was dragging him to class. He smiled and was a bit relieved that they had reached with time to spare, though they looked a bit weird standing at the door alone with everyone else seated already. He walked in with Kiki by her side to take a seat at the back where only two desks remained empty, besides each other. He saw Felix relax visibly when he appeared at the door. "Good of you to show up Joseph, I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up...", Mr Johnson said with a smile on his face. Joseph didn't reply and kept walking back to seats and waited for Kiki to sit down. --------- The other girls didn't keep their giggles down. He saw Allyssa walk up to her and greet him. He looked away from Lilly and smiled at the other girl and spoke, "Hi Allyssa..." His eyes moved to his side again as he saw Lilly bury her face in the book. He barely heard her whisper. A normal person wouldn't have. He kept his face straight though, not showing the surprise he felt. She really did like him. So Joseph had been right all along, he thought. He guessed it was her quiet and reserved nature that had kept her from showing interest, not like Allyssa.
He looked up as he heard footsteps outside and relaxed when he saw Joseph at the door. He was glad his brother had remembered the warning. When he saw Kiki beside him a curious thought entered his mind. It seemed the Wells sisters had taken interest in the Crane brothers.

Kiki sat down by Joseph and just as she sat down the bell rang. She giggled and looked at him with a smirk "gotcha here in time didnt I?" Her gaze went from him to the floor were she had set her bag. She opened it and pulled out her text book and set it on the desk waiting for instruction.
Lilly didnt come out of the shelter of her book until the bell had startled her she. "eep" she yelled and jumped in her seat. Everyon around her giggled all but her sister who was glaring at everyone. They all giggled and laughed at her as she sunk in her seat and her face turned as red as strawberry.

Joseph looked over at Kiki as she spoke and nodded, "Yeah you did, you just saved me from failing, I guess... I owe you one." He smiled at her and winked. He turned around to look ahead when everyone started giggling. He saw what it was about, having not being paying attention to Lilly jumping in her seat. He looked at Kiki, then frowned. It didn't seem fair everyone picking on Lilly.
Felix pursed his lips when he heard everyone mocking Lilly. He felt bad for her. It was partly his fault she had been so jumpy in the first place. He couldn't stand to see her like this but he couldn't do anything either. It was more out of irritation and that he suddenly said in a harsh tone, "Shut up." Silence fell in the classroom suddenly, even his brother was shocked at the outburst.

She smiled as he winked once she heard the teacher speak agian she turned attention to him. "alright Class today were taking a different take on history. Were are talking about mythology. Were-wolves and Vampire Myth Or Fact?" He said as he wrote it on the chalk board in all capes and rather slanted messy writing. Kiki looked at the words on the chalk board with slight interest and pulled out her note book which had doodles of flowers and happy faces and stars on it.
She ripped out a small piece and took out her pen. She began to write on it and folded it up. When Mr. Johnson wasnt looking she slipped it on Joeseph's desk.
Lilly looked up from her book at Felix once he yelled to class to shut up. Her gaze turned to the board and she saw what the lesson was about. Her head tilted and she looked around what the others expressions were. Lilly was quite intrigued by the lessons topic and put her book away waiting to see what he would say about it.

As soon as the paper landed on his desk he put a hand over it and brought it down under the desk. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat as the topic was written on the board. He glanced around and saw more than a passing interest being generated. He wasn't smiling anymore. He looked down and opened the piece of paper to read.
Felix was a bit uncomfortable with the topic today and looked back at his brother. He didn't look like he liked it either. He caught his eye and shook his head from side to side hoping he would understand that this was one topic he shouldn't argue on or even speak on for that matter. He looked back at the board, waiting to see what was going to happen.

The note read You can just pay me back by taking me to homecoming. . The teacher began to drone on about the topic his voice made the topic rather boring and slowly the class lost interest and began to fall asleep. All but the Wells sisters who seamed quite interested in the topic.Lilly stared at the teacher with great interest. The topic of were-wolves and Vampires was rather intriguing. She had heard story of them from her parents but never knew that they were real. She turned to look at her sister who had the same look of interest then turned her attention to back to the teacher. Lilly saw out of the corner of her eye that Felix was getting uncomfortable with the topic. She turned to him and leaned into whisper to him. "whats wrong Felix?" she asked her voice was full of concern.Kiki noticed the same thing with Joseph and did the same thing. "Joey you ok? you look a little upset..." she said she then looked at her note and thought that was reason he was upset. "If its my note I'm sorry it was the girls they told me to ask you...I'm sorry if it offended you. You dont have to go." Kiki said feeling a bit sad and embarrassed.

Joseph smiled slightly as he looked at the note. He looked at Kiki once, concentrating on the teacher then turned the note and scribbled at the back. He waited for Mr. Johnsons gaze to shift so he could pass it back. When it finally did, Kiki turned around and started apologizing. Joseph just smiled widely and handed her the note, squeezing his hand slightly. It read Done! I wouldn't have let anyone else take you! He was actually glad to see most of the students lose interest but Kiki and her sister didn't seem to. He wondered if it was a bad sign or a good one.
Felix turned to Lilly and smiled slightly to hide his concern. He just shook his head to say nothing was wrong. He could see Lilly was very interested in the topic. It was different to read about them and to meet them and you could never tell how they would react. He wondered what would happen if she found out.
"Mr. Felix would you like to share your views on the topic?", Mr Johnson pointed at him and spoke suddenly. He snapped back to reality and shook his head quickly and said, "Sorry sir, I am not familiar with this topic..." "Oh well alright, anyone?", he said looking around the room.

Kiki read the note and smiled her face turned pink. She turned to him and whispered "yay!" Her attention went back to the teacher as he asked if any one had an opinion on the subject.
Lilly thought she wanted to speak but was too shy. Her hand slowly went up and she spoke "I-I-I would." She said softly as she looked around peoples heads looked up at her and whisperes could be heard around the room.

Joseph would have reacted to Kiki with a smile had he not suddenly gotten interested in Lilly who had her hands raised. He couldn't understand what did a girl so quiet had to say that she would actually volunteer to speak up in class?
Felix looked at her and thought almost the same thing. He had thought she would probably not speak in class after being mocked by the others. She was also generally a quiet person and hardly ever volunteered to speak up. He glanced around the room quickly and saw the same surprise on everyone's face. His heart raced faster as he waited for her to speak.
"Excellent Lilly, what do you wish to say?", Mr. Johnson nodded at her smiling broadly.

Lilly took a deep breath "well i find the topic rather interesting and but dont think you explaind it ver--" She was cut off by the bell. Students leaped out of the seats, Allyssa walked past Lilly and looked at her. "Of course you would be interested in such a weird topic." She said with attitude she then walked to Felix's seat. "Hey Felix the home coming dance is this weekend and I still need a date. You want to go with me?" She said looking at him innocently.
Lilly looked down as she approached Felix and asked him about the dance. with out saying anything she grabbed her bag and walked to the door. She had a hunch of what his answer would be after all Allyssa was the prettiest girl in school any guy would kill to go out with her. Lilly sighed as she looked back once more at the two and headed to the cafeteria.
Kiki watched as her sister spoke about the topic. Once the bell rang she wiated to see what would happen between her and Felix with a smile, her smile slowly turned into a frown as she saw Allyssa walk up to Felix and saw Lilly walking away with a look of sadness on her face. "Hey Joey I'm gonna go see Lilly is ok...she looks a little sad." Kiki said turning to Joseph.
Kiki grabbed her bag and headed out the door to follow her sister but was stopped by Abby and Tammy. "So did you ask Him? What did he say?" The two of them said at the same time. Kiki rolled her eyes and smiled "Yes i asked him and he said....YES!" The two girls squealed and grabbed Kiki's hands and jumped up and down. "yeah...Im excited too...but i gotta talk to my sister right now ok. We'll go shopping today after school for dresses." She siad catching up with her sister.
"Hey Lil you ok? You look upset?" She asked coming behind her sister and putting her arm around her as they walked.
"Yeah I'm ok Kiki-bear. It's just i was gonna ask Felix to the home coming dance....I mean you know me I'm not of a social gathering type of girl, but I really wanted to go to the dance with him. But Allyssa beat me to it. He's probably already said yes to her." Lilly said as she looked down at the ground and then up at her sister her icy blue eyes not there normal icy blue but a grayish blue.

Felix was about to turn to ask Lilly to complete his thought if only to him. He was very curious to know what she was going to say. But he never got the chance. He saw Allyssa walk up and mock Lilly yet again and then approach him and ask him out. He was stuck, caught off-guard. He looked around to see a few guys actually stopping and waiting for his reply to see if he was the lucky guy that would take her to the dance. Out of the corner of the eye he saw Lilly get up, distressed, and head towards the door, looking back at them. Kiki left soon afterwards.
He thought of something quickly on how to reject her and not hurt her... too badly. He acted surprised and smiled as if he was pleased to discover her taking interest in him and then said, "Oh, I am sorry Allyssa. I thought... you already had a date so I asked... Lilly to go with me." ------ Joseph could see it before Allyssa approached Felix. He was glad he had not been put in a situation like that. He watched sadly as Lilly left quickly and turned to Kiki, nodding when she told him she would go to talk to her sister. He waited there waiting to see what his brother would do. He could not bail Felix out this time, short of asking Allyssa to the dance himself and there was no way he was doing that. They both couldn't stand each other.
When he heard the answer, he wasn't happy. His brother had put himself into a tight spot because the way he had said it, it seemed he had picked Lilly only when he thought Allyssa wasn't available. He just hoped now Lilly didn't find out about this. This was one time Felix had faced a problem with his words.

Allyssa smiled "Oh? Ok....well you atleast go to the game's Bon-fire with me?" She said with a smile and big eyes.
Lilly and her sister Kiki headed towards the cafeteria and grabbed their food. At least today was the day they had delivered pizza from Domino's. They each grabbed a slice of cheese and bottle of cherry coke, once they had paid for the food the looked for a place to sit. Lilly saw Kiki's friends waving for her to sit with them.
"Lilly! Kiki! over here!" Yelled Abby.
The girls headed over to them and sat down Abby and Tammy began chattering about the dance and looked to Lilly. "so who you going with Lilly?" They asked as the leaned in to hear her answer. "I'm not going....Allyssa got the the guy i liked before i could..." Lilly replied as she took a bite of her pizza.

Felix had just relaxed when she let lose another shot at him. "Uh...", he hesitated and looked caught his brother's eye and saw him shake his head. "Sorry Allyssa, I would love to, but I can't come for the bon-fire at all, we would be out of town that night." He got up quickly and smiled and spoke to her again, "You enjoy yourself Allyssa. There are plenty of good guys waiting for you to give them a chance." He lowered his voice and spoke to her, "Don't drink too much..." He still remembered what a mess she had been last time she had drunk just a little at a party when he had to literally drag her home alone.
Joseph just stared wide-eyed at his brother. Now he couldn't go to the bon-fire either with Kiki! He approached his brother as the headed towards the cafeteria and snapped at him as soon as they came out of the door, "Whats the big idea with the we?? You realize if I show up, she would find out you lied to her. Great, you explain this to Kiki now..."
They reached the cafeteria just in time and Joseph darted across the room to grab the last of the slices of the pizza and coke bottles and handed one each to his brother. He literally pushed Felix to the chairs in front of Lilly, Kiki and her friends and sat down. He looked at Kiki, a bit upset and said, "Seems we can't go to the bon-fire Kiki cause Mr. Felix here... you me to ask her for you now?" He said hitting his brother lightly on the shoulder.
Felix looked up at Lilly and smiled. She was obviously very upset. He spoke, aware of everyone's eyes around the table fixed on him, first to Kiki, "Sorry Kiki, Allyssa asked me to go to the bon-fire with her and I told her both of us would be out of town so please, dont show up there. I had to do that because... ", he paused shifting his gaze towards Lilly now, "Lilly, I told Allyssa I was going to the homecoming dance with you...", he paused again and gulped, nervous as he asked, "Would you please?"

"I wish i could say i wont go but i have to...the dance team has to show up. Were associated with cheer but you guys dont have to go...Lilly isnt going she really isnt into the whole school spirit thing. The only reason why she wanted to go to the dance was because she liked Felix and wanted go with him." Kiki blurted out after realizing what she just said she looked at her sister who was glaring at her.
Lilly fumed at her sister not even hearing what Felix said about Allyssa. All she heard was him asking her to the dance, Lilly turned to look at him her expression changed. "what? You want to go with me?" She asked surprised her eyes went from a gloomy grayish blue to her normal Icy blue but brighter.

Joseph glared at his brother in return when Kiki said this. Of course he was gonna be there nearby, watching her but he won't be able to meet her. He didn't say anything and he stopped chewing as Felix asked Lilly the question and Kiki said that she liked his older brother. The expression on everyone's face, with everything happening simultaneously was of surprise and amusement.
Felix looked around and shifted in his seat. He had heard what Kiki had just said and looked into those beautiful bright eyes of Lilly and said, "Yes. Why? You don't... want to?"
