chapter thirteen!

the day isaac realized something!

LOUD MUSIC BLARED through the gym as Isaac scrolled through his phone.  Not a lot of the school was at the dance yet, only a few kids were either dancing or gossiping.  It didn't help that Lee was coming with Samira, leaving him alone for a few. Isaac looked up from his phone, deciding to tease his brother.  "You're so in love with her, dude."

"Aren't you in love with Kia? You were dying to ask her to this." Isaac rolled his eyes, fixing his hair. "I'm not in love with her. And so? She's not as bad as I thought she'd be." The said girl entered the room, leaving the cocky boy speechless. "And that's my cue. Have fun, big bro." Kia's hair was longer and curled at the ends.  She wore a long, pink spaghetti strap dress with heels and jewelry.  "Hi, Garcia.  You clean up well." Kia took a seat, looking in her compact mirror.  "Thanks, Peters.  You look great."

Just before he could say anything else, Lee and Greg were fighting. "You're fucking crazy!" Greg exclaimed. "Keep my family's name out of your mouth, you dick!" he exclaimed, punching Greg in the face. "Get off of my brother!" Isaac stated, running to the scene.  After the fight died down, Issac fixed his suit as Kia looked at him.  "Are you okay?" she asked.  "Yeah.  Uh, snacks?"

"We can get snacks first." The two of them walked to the snack table, plating a few appetizers and grabbed some water. Sitting back at the table, the two of them ate. "Did anyone ask you to the dance before me?" Isaac asked. "Yeah, but I'm not into them. Plus, I could tell that they were doing it as a joke."

"Well, just so you know, I didn't ask you to the dance as a joke. I just wanted to."

"Thank God you didn't. Otherwise, I would've killed you."

EVENTUALLY, MORE PEOPLE started to arrive.  Brady and Jackie walked in together.  The girl wore a short black dress, matching heels, and a headband.  "Hey, guys." Brady told Kia and Isaac.  "Hey, Brady." Kia said, giving him a hug.  "Oh my god, Jackie! You look so pretty!"

"Thank you.  You look beautiful in that dress.  Don't you think so, Issac?"  The boy's cheeks started to flush again, "What do you think about Brady, Jackie?"  Now it was Jackie's turn for her cheeks to flush. "There's Sam and Lee.  We'll be right back." Brady stated.

Time passed as people started moving onto the dance floor.  "Come on, Garcia.  Let's dance."  Kia stated, grabbing Isaac's hand.  Luckily, she was leading him.  Otherwise she would've seen how red his face was.  "I Feel It Coming" by The Weeknd was playing as the two of them moved to the beat.  "Wow, Peters.  I didn't know you could dance."

"I do ice skating, Garcia.  Plus, I've been to parties before.  You're not too bad yourself."  Isaac danced a bit closer to her, causing Kia to laugh.  The two of them were having a great time together, surprisingly.  After playing multiple songs, the DJ put on "Lover" by Taylor Swift.  People started to slow dance, causing Brady and Jackie to follow suit.  The next thing you know, the two of them shared a quick kiss.  "Did you just see that?" Kia asked.  "No.  What?"

"Jackie and Brady kissed."

"What?"

"Yes.  I don't know why though."  Issac stood up from his seat.  "Can I have this dance?" Issac asked in a flirty tone.  "Sure." Kia answered.  The two of them found a spot, slow dancing with one another.  Kia put her head on his shoulder, "Thank you for asking me."  Issac's heart started to beat from the sudden contact. "No problem.  Peters?"

"Yes, Garcia?"

"You look really pretty tonight.  Especially with your glasses."

"Thank you.  I didn't really know if I wanted to wear them tonight but that makes me feel a bit better about them."

Oh.

Oh.

Issac liked Kia.
