#9 of Canvas and Melody

Chapter 7

_Danny_

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Me and Michael were in the gym after school, setting up some of the decorations and picking music. A few of the girls from Leadership were there, mostly avoiding eye contact with us and trying to just get the job done. After a while of repairing the horrid suggestions made by Leadership for music, as well as firing the DJ and writing a playlist to replace him, finally me and Michael got some alone time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I'll admit, it was kind of awkward bringing it up, but I really hoped he'd been lying as much as I had been at lunch, "So do the others _really_ think we have crushes on each other?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He shrugged, "I guess. You'd think Pandora would get that two gay guys doesn't automatically make a relationship anymore than her and Chris do."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I laughed, "Yeah." There was a long, awkward pause as Michael painted a banner covering the bleachers, "So, are you going to prom?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "It's our last school dance, after this it's over, we'll have missed out on everything. Anyways, I gotta make sure the decorations look good with the lighting, and that people aren't being stupid."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Yeah, I should probably check to make sure this playlist works with the mood you're setting up."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Is it better than their playlist from before?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Do you really need to ask that question?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Then trust me, it'll work. That's the goal here: make this dance worth going to. Even if the people suck, the environment won't."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Sounds like a plan." Another long pause. I wanted so badly to just ask him, but some part of me told me it wasn't allowed, or that he'd say no. "So, who are you going with?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Uhh... I was just gonna go by myself. You know, the guys in this school aren't really... how do I word it nicely..."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Attractive?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Or interesting."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Or gay."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Yeah, that's the right word."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pause. _Come on, he agrees, there's no one else in the school!_ "So... What would you think about maybe going with m-"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Isaac suddenly appeared from behind us, "Hey, brought you dorks dinner." He set a paper bag on the tarp and looked at us, "What?"
