I woke from my bed remembering yesterday's events. Hmmm maybe I will check out the dojo. I changed into this:

I ran down the stairs to see my dad. "Where are you going?" He asked. "Oh you know....just going to explore the town...." I lied. He nodded. "Ok remember dance starts at 6" he reminded me. I smiled. "Thanks dad" and I was out the door. I grabbed my skateboard. The reason I lied is because my dad doesn't approve of skateboarding or karate. I skated to the mall and saw two Dojos. One was the black dragons the other was the Wasabi Warriors. I walked into the Wasabi Warriors dojo. I glanced around. "Who are you?" I heard a voice. I turned around to see a short middle aged man. "Penelope.....my friends told me to check this place out" I smiled. "Well I'm Rudy, owner of this dojo, and Master Sensei" he bragged. "Hey Rudy who are you talking to?" I turned around to see Jack, Kim, Jerry, and Milton.
"Penelope?" Jack asked shocked and confused. "What are you doing here?" Kim asked. I couldn't really tell if she was happy or if she just wanted me to leave. "Well you said to check out the dojo so.....I did" I responded. "I thought you said Karate wasn't your thing" Kim stated not convinced. "Oh trust me I'm not signing up...just looking" I explained. "Well why won't you sign up?" Jack asked confused. "I can't" I stated. "Why?" He questioned. "I'm not aloud to" I replied not wanting to be questioned further. "What do you mean?" Milton asked. "Well you see....my dad.....doesn't approve of karate" I explained. "How does he not approve of karate?" Jerry asked. I shrugged.
"He's a.....perfectionist and to him....karate just isn't perfect enough" I sighed. "Wait is she really good at karate?" Rudy asked. Jack nodded. "She's really good but not as good as me" he smirked cheekily. "Hush hairspray I can be just as good as you" I smiled at the nickname hairspray. "Prove it, show us what you can do" he challenged. I set up a practice dummy. I then did a flying side kick into it and it's head popped off. I smiled getting up off of crouch position. Jack stood shocked mouth wide open. "Like I said hairspray just as good as you" I closed his mouth. "We could really use someone like you in the dojo" Rudy persuaded. "Well....I guess I could try it but you can't tell anyone" I demanded and they nodded. "By the way.....is there a skatepark anywhere?" I asked. Jack nodded, "yeah I was just heading there, want me to show you where it is?" He offered. I nodded smiling. "Thank you" he grabbed his skateboard grabbed my hand and led the way.
Once we were at the skateboard he did a few tricks of his own. I stood there and watched until he suddenly stopped. "Let's see what you've got" he smiled as I went. I slid down the ramp doing a flip in midair. I landed back on my skateboard and went up coming beside Jack. "You're really good" he admitted. "You too" I smiled and we stared at each other. I cleared my throat. "Well I have to be going" I grinned awkwardly. He nodded. "See you at school" i skateboarded away to the house. I hid my skateboard and went in. "There you are, get changed and I'll drive you to class" I nodded and went into my room. I changed into this:

As I went down the stairs, for once I got a nod of approval at my outfit choice. We soon walked over to the car. It was rather hard to walk in my heels though. I swear they're torture devices. The drive had an awkward silence to it. The dance academy finally appeared and I hurried out of the car. I almost stumbled as I entered. Stupid heels! As I walked into the ball room I recognized one person. I marched over to the person. "Jack?!" I whisper yelled. "Penelope?!" He whisper yelled back. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "I could say the same for you" I huffed. "Why are you taking a waltz class?" I asked. "Cotillion and you?" He replied. "Same" I mumbled just as the teacher walked in.
"Let's get straight to it!" She announced. "Let's see....I'll  put you in pairs and you may waltz!" She looked decisive before choosing. "Penelope West and.....Jack Brewer!" She exclaimed. Jack and I stared at each other before groaning. "Wait a minute....you're wearing a dress" he smirked. I rolled my eyes. "Don't get used to it" I mumbled. "Don't worry I'll savor this moment" he smirked once more. I placed my hand on his shoulder. He placed his hand on my waist. I flushed as he did so. We then held hands.
We did this dance:

I Curtsied and he bowed. "You're good" he smiled. "You're not to bad yourself" I smirked. "So let's agree to not tell the gang about this" I spoke and he nodded. "So...who's your date to the cotillion?" He asked. "Um...no one" I flushed embarrassed. "I was wondering if...." His voice trailed off. "Yes?" I asked. "Um....never mind" he looked away. I sighed. "Right well see you at school, also are you going to the pep rally?" I asked. He nodded. "Yeah Kim gave me the tickets" he explained. "Oh......um right well I hope to see you there" I said disappointed. Maybe Kim had lied to me about them dating. I walked away as my dad picked me up.
"Who was that?" He asked. I looked at Jack through the window. "Just a boy" I responded. "He looks like one of those karate rats" he cringed. I rolled my eyes. "His name is Jack and he happens to be my friend, even if he does do karate" I huffed. "Don't get to close to that one" he warned and I nodded. We pulled up to the house. "Oh I have to stay after school tomorrow I have the pep rally" I explained and he nodded. I hurried up stairs and went into bed and I couldn't help but think of Jack.
