Luckily for Kennedy, a slow song did start playing. Ryan supposed it was a good way to start off the night. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close as he attempted to lead her along to the music. "See, this dancing thing is easy...well slow songs anyways," he teased. He fell silent for a moment, his gaze alternating from Kennedy to all of the people around them. As she made the comment about them remembering this, a smirk crossed his face. "Do you even remember anything when you get that old?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "Ah, I really don't know. I'd like to think so," he added more seriously. Would he even see her, once he went off to college? They'd probably end up at different schools, with all of the basketball offers, he could virtually end up clear across the country. He'd get so busy with basketball and hopefully, maybe, be good enough to get into the NBA one day... A long-distance relationship certainly wouldn't fit in to any of that. He wouldn't worry about any of that though...it was the present that was important.

Kennedy let out a huge sigh of relief. As Ryan closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her waist, she gently placed her arms around his neck, just nearly reaching. She closed her eyes and placed her head on his chest while they swayed at his lead. Something about his touch still managed to give her goosebumps and butterflies in her stomach. "Eh, I probably wont even live until 90." She whispered, laughing softly. This was her moment and she wasn't about to ruin it over thinking too hard about the future. She softly stroked the back of his neck as he held her tightly.

"Well that's hardly a cheerful way to see things," Ryan retorted, shaking his head with amusement. "But then again, no one can know what the.future holds. I find it best just to focus on the present," he added, giving a light shrug of his shoulders. The thought of going off and not seeing Kennedy (or even Kodi and Reba) wasn't the most pleasant of thoughts. He tried to push the thoughts away but it really wasn't easy. It seemed to consume his thoughts more amd.more as they got.closer to graduation. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, smiling down at Kennedy once more. "I would say you're a pretty good dancer," he commented. Not.that half of a dance was enough time to determine such a thing but the change of subject helped him to not dwell on his thoughts.

Reba laughed, "While it's nice that you think so highly of me but there are a lot of girls out there that are prettier than me. Either that or you don't get out much." She looked up at him as she shook her head. Reba had good enough self esteem but she also had her own insecurities. Besides, she disliked concieted people who thought they were the best thing to ever touch the earth. "I don't want to forget you when I go to school. Honestly, I don't want to forget anything about our time spent together." Reba closed her eyes once more, listening to the ending of the song. Who would have thought that tomboy Reba would be slow dancing on her own free will. "Lets go sit now, okay? This dress is kinda heavy." Reba adjusted the dress before walking to an empty table and taking her seat. "I wonder if Kennedy and Ryan have made it yet." Reba scanned the room for them. She spotted Ken's unique dress and smiled as she watched the two dancing. "They look like dolls kinda." Reba smiled, watching them a little longer before turning her attention elsewhere.

"So what?" he shrugged with a smile. "Most of them are obnoxious and stupid. You on the other hand, are really just a cool cat." he laughed. Of course there were other pretty girls he might have liked, but none had stood a chance against Reba. She was probably the only girl he knew in the school who could act like a boy and still be feminine and attractive. He was comfortable acting like himself around her unlike in his past relationships. All the ones before had either ended because they were too clingy or they were too picky about the way he was; it was as if he had to hold his breathe with every move he would do. Reba as far more relaxed and he had a good feeling that she wouldn't turn out to be 'one of those'. "I don't either..." he said quietly. He wasn't quite sure what would happen once college started again; if they would ever see each other again. Maybe there was a chance they would be close by? He wanted to make the effort to keep this relationship going long after high school, but he wasn't quite sure if Reba would have agreed. If there was a chance that they weren't going to be close by; would she have been able to deal with long distance? He wished he didn't have to worry about all of this now, even on their special night. Yet, it was hard to keep it out of his mind.
He followed Reba towards a free table and sat with her, looking around the dance floor to find Ryan and Kennedy after Reba had wondered if they were even here. It didn't take long before Reba spotted the two of them and quickly he looked over; watching the two of them dancing. "Like Barbie and Ken." he laughed lightly. It was nice to see the two of them happy; especially Ken. She deserved a good man to make her happy.

Ken just laughed, "Yeah, I'm not a good dancer. I'm good at standing really close to you and swaying back and forth." She sighed, closing her eyes for a moment and soaking everything in. She had not wanted to tell anyone about her post high school plans, and daily it was making her feel guiltier and guiltier. 'I just want to get smashed and forget everything' she thought to herself, holding Ryan a little tighter.She was afraid if she let go, that'd be it. Eventually though she knew that she had to too, because the song was only so long.

"Well, I guess if you really want to give me all of the credit... Well I suppose I can take such a burden on my shoulders," Ryan said, letting out a dramatic sigh. The song was coming to an end, meaning some upbeat, jamming song was most likely to be next. The slow song was a nice way to start things off, but he wouldn't mind being able to jam out. He hadn't really been able to do that lately, because of his leg. Noting that Kennedy seemed to have something on her mind once more, he gave her a curious glance. "What's on your mind?" He asked.

"Midget Barbie and Giant Ken you mean," Reba commented about the couple. "Do you realize that this means that the end of high school is near? This means that we'll be adults and be responsible for...for everything from this day forward." She shook her head in disbelief, a faint smile on her face. "That's why we've got to enjoy this short amount of time. We've got to spend as much time with those that we love because we never know what tomorrow brings." Reba flexed her fingers as she shook her head. "It's like, I kind of don't want to grow up because this year has been everything for me. I've done so many new things, made new friends and I've even started a relationship with a fawesome guy who likes me for me. Even old mean me can find someone." She jerked her head in the direction of the dance floor. "Everyone deserves happiness and I'm glad that we all found a bit, even when we may or may not have been looking." Reba was never actively looking for relationships, always fearing that the other party would not be able to take her strong personality. It was the type that you either loved or hated, no grey area in between. It was easier that she and Kodi had been friends first and started their relationship later.

Kennedy looked up and simply smiled at Ryan, deciding not to ruin this night with all of her worries. "Nothing, I was just thinking about how sexy you are." She laughed as the slow song came to an end. She had decided that she was just going to dance like she did when she was home alone getting ready for school, blasting music. It wasn't the greatest but it would do. "And yes, we can say that all of this amazing dancing that just occurred was all thanks to you!" she moved her hand up and ruffled his cute hair, "What is on your mind?" She repeated his question, curious if she'd get any answers.

Ryan studied Kennedy for a moment. Her silence seemed like an almost sad one. Surely if she had really been thinking about how sexy he was, she would have seemed a bit more cheerful? Then again, maybe he just didn't know anything... However, he wasn't going to push the issue. Tonight was supposed to be an awesome night, after all. "That's a good thing.to think about," he finally said, a grin returning to his face. The song was fading into its last few notes by now, but he didn't let Kennedy go just yet. "What's on my mind? Just how hot you look and how we're going to party rock hardcore tonight," he explained.

Ken laughed, "Hmm you know the right things to say to me." She moved her arms from his neck to his waist,hugging him tightly. "And yes. I am SO ready to party!" She said happily, trying to cheer up, no use crying over things that couldn't be changed now. Plus she got to spend time in Hawaii with him,and Reba and Kodi it would really be a blast. "AND!"She added very excitedly, "Hawaii tomorrow!!" Kennedy grinned, looking up at Ryan before dropping her arms from his waist and getting ready for a faster song.

"Yeah, it's one of my many talents," Ryan agreed with a laugh. As expected, a more exciting song was starting up. His head started to bob along with the beat, though he had to bend down to be able to hear Kennedy as the music got louder. "Yeah buddy, we're going to Hawaii! It'll be great! Ah, but if you think I'm doing any crazy, leg threatening stunts then you have another thing coming. I just want to sit back on the beach and chill with you," he half-yelled into her ear.

Kennedy bobbed her head happily to the catchy beat, Ryan's cute words being half shouted into her ear only made her smile bigger. "No breaking anything." Ken half-yelled back at him, feeling overwhelmed by the happienss she felt right now. She looked around at the dimmed lights, watching all her classmates,who seemed as happy as her. She spotted Reba and Kodi at at table, and took a mental picture of how happy everyone truly was right now. The crazy rollercoaster had ended, for at least now. "Except. I want to learn to surf!" She hollered to Ryan over the song.

Kodi scoffed. Midget Barbie and Giant Ken was exactly how his friends seemed when they danced together. Watching them was slightly humorous, as much as he didn't want admit it. He might as well tease them all he wanted in his mind, knowing Ryan had probably even more stupid comebacks about him and Reba. He learned eventually to not pay so much mind to it, knowing that it would probably never end as long as the two were still together.
"Yeah, I know high school is basically ending but think of it; we have so much more freedom to do whatever we want. We don't have to stick with a boring routine and constantly depend on our parents for things. As much as I don't want to grow up either...I really just want to have the freedom to go anywhere I want without having to worry about much. I'm unbelievably glad that everyone is happy, especially now that I have you." he smiled, looking to her. "The only thing I would really worry about is losing you, and our friends. I just hope everything goes well with us you know; once college starts."

Ryan could barely make out any of Kennedy's words, the music was so loud, but he got the gist of what she was saying. He was going into a more all-out dancing now, the music making him feel energetic and unable to stand still. "Surfing...yeah not sure if I want to risk trying that. I really can't afford another broken leg or something," he explained. Of course, how could he get hurt surfing....unless he got attacked by a shark or something? "Then again, if you want to I better try it too. That way, if a shark attacks or something, you'll have someone to fight it off. I've wrestled with a few sharks before," he joked, grinning. All of his worries from a few minutes ago seemed to have been pushed aside for the time being. Right now, he was just all about partying.
