Dare To Live , Dare To Love

Chapter Two

*****

It was Friday night , school had just let out and we were all on our way home , Fridays weren't like typical practices because every Friday after school we went home to pack our suitcases to travel to our competition.

I packed all my bags and then went outside and sat on my balcony like I did everyday , Alan was out there again

"Leaving for the competition tonight?" He asked

"Yeah , We're leaving the studio to go to the airport at 7:30 tonight" I answered

"Lucky , Tony rented a big bus to take us down in , We're leaving at 5:00" He said

"What are you going to do on the ride down there?" I ask , He pulls his phone out of his pocket

"Text my new friend" He says and hands me his phone , I put my number in

"What's your team gonna think of that?" I ask with a grin

"Just because we compete against each other every week doesn't mean we can't be friends" He says

"Well .. I guess your right" I say

"Are you going to answer me back?" He asks

"If your lucky" I say and hand him my phone to put his number in

"Well its 4:45 , I guess the next time I'll see you ... is on the dance floor" He says

"Yeah , and I'll be holding that first place trophy" I say , My bedroom door opens

"Makinley?" I hear my mom say , I hold my finger up to my mouth so Alan won't say anything while she's in there

"What?" I ask

"I'm flying down tomorrow before the show , okay?" She says

"Okay , That's fine" I say

"Would you like to fly back with me or with your friends?" She asks

"Friends" I say

"Okay" She says and leaves my room

"Would you like to fly back with me?" He asks , I can tell he was joking

"If my friends knew I was talking to you , they would kill me" I say

"I'm not as bad as you think I am" He says

"No, but some of your friends are complete asses" I say

"Paul , Mark and Derek can be" He says "But not me"

"I guess we'll see depending on how you treat us at this competition" I say

"I'll be nice to you" He says , His phone buzzes "I got to go , See you in Orlando"

"Bye" I say and he walks back inside his bedroom.

The clock had just struck 7:00 , We were all waiting to board the plane when my phone buzzed . I had a text message.

Alan: How's my favorite Dare Dweeb?

I quickly replied back before we started walked to the plane.

Makinley: You better not let any of your feiends catch you talking to a 'Dare Dweeb' .

Alan: Are you on the plane yet?

Makinley: Yeah. Jenna and I just got our seats.

Alan: Have a fun plane ride, I'm gonna take a nap.

Makinley: Have a good nap.

Alan: I'll dream about winning.

Makinley: Keep dreaming.
