as the three of them went to class during class the whole entire day black strawberry was being annoyed by Apple asking about the dance and wanting her to go so bad that It just drove her crazy even when she tried to get away from her it was impossible because she would be sending her text messages about it or if they didn't have class Apple would mostly skip her class to bother her through the window of the classroom and hold the bulletin boards and stuff like that.

"what do I have to do to make you stop asking me about this stupid dance ?" black strawberry asked her friend Apple who was eating Skittles candy

"go to the dance and I will stop bothering you about it "

"like cinnamon said we don't have that much time or that many days I think we have 5 days left "

"good the sooner it comes and the sooner it goes I won't have to hear about it anymore"

"all right then if you want go to the dance then how about we play a game for it, if you win I won't talk to you about the dance anymore but if I win you're going to the dance... With licorice ,deal?"

"... Fine deal but I doubt that I'll lose" black strawberry said

"don't sell yourself short my friend" said Black apple with a grin as they waited for school to be over they played a game of Horror, pretty much black apple just popped in a horror movie and all they had to do was sit through the it without screaming jumping or running out of the room but pretty much through the whole entire movie Black strawberry couldn't take it and just left the room

"i win !"

"no you don't that wasn't even a challenge !"

"fine let's go bungee jumping "

"why , so you can easily win cause you know my weakness?"

"that is so untrue "

"lets box for it !"

"you want to fight me?"

"hell yeah let's go"

"you know i can kick your ass "

"rule number one no cheating!"

"i don't cheat"

"yeah right , anyway let go to the ring !"

they went to the back of black apples how strange that they built to last summer during their battle cinnamon was the referee summer was the cheerleader licorice was the referee boxing match kind of crazy . cinnamon stop the match and said black strawberry win

"yay !"

"that's not fair she cheated! " apple said

"apple you cheated first "

"aw well i tried"

"what a bunch of losers" said a voice as they looked and saw peppermint with her little girl friends

"leave peppermint or death will be upon you " said black apple

"apple be nice" said cinnamon

"what do you want peppermint ?"

"remember the music battle I said that I wanted to do well today's the day I will blow you away with my trumpet playing " she said holing up her trumpet

"you're kidding right? "

"does it look like I'm kidding I arranged for a music battle and that's exactly what I'm going to get , So prepare yourself for the best music performance of all time" she said as she started to play her music which wasn't so bad but to mean black strawberry was booing her

"YOU JERK YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE !" yelled peppermint

"can you blame us you suck" said black apple

"you two are demonic brats !"

"thank you " the two said together

skipping on to a couple of days later the day of the dance finally came as apple was dressed in a black and red dress . she went over to black strawberry house to pick her up seeing cherry said he would happily drive them but was having a hard time pulling black strawberry out of her room

"you're coming with me to the dance if you like it or not ! " she said as she was trying to drag her out of the room but it wasn't helping seeing they were evenly matched

"you're not getting me to go to this stupid dance and I don't care what my father says , you two are not the boss of me!" black strawberry said

" Don't make me call black cherry in here so he can carry you to the dance because I will" she said as she push black strawberry down and then took out her cell phone only to be tackled by black strawberry as the two fought for the phone and then that's what her dad walked in

"black strawberry will you stop this nonsense and go on to the dance with your friends"

"she's not my friend dad she's a demon in disguise trying to be my friend"

"I don't care if she's the seed of Satan you're going to the dance and that's final" he said as he left the room a minute later the door bell ring as black apple went to the door and saw black licorice he was dressed in a black tuxedo

"hello licorice care to give me a little hand?" Apple said as he pulled him inside the house

"yo black strawberry you have a visitor its your date for the dance "

"tell that flirting bastard to go away or else I will break his arms" she shouted from her room

"um apple ...is this safe?" licorice asked her

"you know she's only joking when she starts threatening your life"

" maybe for you it's a joke but with me I think she means it "

" nonsense , watch . hey black strawberry i want you to go out on date with licorice !"

"go to hell apple !"

"im already there ! uh give me a minute " black apple said as she went back in the room only for licorice to hear a lot of fighting and screaming it was a minute later that black cherry had to take over and carry her to the car and buckle her in

"see that wasn't so bad " black apple said once at the dance black strawberry hidden away in the back as apple was dancing with black cherry also being bugged by bloody orange but was kinda surprise to seeing black strawberry dance with her and summer but in the end at some point bloody Orange would accidentally spilled juice on her dress which that turned into a fight black cherry had to pull apple away from her

"apple calm down and stop fighting with a child"

"she's not a child she's a demon! "

"Isn't that what they say about you?"

"yes but it doesn't mean that it's true"

"you sure know how to make a show " he said as apple turn to see bloody orange dancing with black strawberry as she gave an evil grin making apple growl at her

"that kid is such a pain !" apple said

"she's just a kid apple " cherry told her

"yeah a kid that needs to be spanked ! " cherry laugh at this than a slow dance came as she black strawberry didn't know what to do seeing bloody orange ran off somewhere with summer then licorice walked over to her

"what do you want ?"

"i know you don't like me but just for today can you please not try to kill me "he asked as she held out his hand to her, black strawberry thought for a minute and sigh as she saw black apple holding up signs saying *take his hand , dance with him * and so on

"fine but just for today" she said taking his hand as she tryed to dance black strawberry was so nervous that she accidentally stepped out on his feet making her pull away

"sorry im not really good at dancing" she said as she looked away

"it's okay how about I lead?" he said as he pulled her close making as a soft blush appeared on her cheek as they dance to the music waltz getting lost in Paradise black strawberry forgot what was going on around her seeing the music was playing such a loving melody as she closed her eyes letting it caring her thoughts away when the Music Stops her eyes open only to realize that she was kissing black licorice she pulled away quickly only as she send him a strong punch in the jaw sending him flying across the dance floor

"YOU LIENG RAT , STAY AWAY FROM ME !" the students just watched as the Angry Black strawberry walked away as black apple laugh at this once the dance ended and they went back to school the next day apple was teasing black strawberry about the kiss

"come on Rockie you liked the kiss just say it "

"no ! i wont say something that isn't true ! and call me by that name again I'll punch you " she said as they walked through the hallways

"the more you lie to yourself the more you'll regret not dating him "

"so what !"

"then that means watermelon kiss and him will get back together "

"so what "

"no i mean look there getting back together " black apple pointed as black strawberry stopped and saw licorice and watermelon talking .

"if i didn't know any better i say those two made up and are a couple again "apple said as she looked to black strawberry and saw her walk over to licorice as she pulled him away from watermelon

"what do you think you're doing ! you ask me out and then you just ditch me?! " black strawberry said mad

"b-b-but i thought "

"i said stay away from me i didn't say i wasn't done with you !" this made licorice blush as she too his hand and pulled him away but was stop by watermelon

"but you tow aren't even dating "

"we are now !"

"now just wait just a ..."she was cut off from black strawberry loud scream of a banshee making her cover her ears . think of it as Nails on a chalkboard, black apple just stood there with a grin on her face as she watch black strawberry walk off with licorice

"if i catch you talking , looking or anything with that fruit tart I'll kill you" black strawberry said not looking at licorice

"um o-ok " the two went to class making black strawberry let go of his hand not seeing the frown on his face as she sat in her seat and he sat n his and black apple walked in and sat behind black strawberry as she past her a not as black strawberry opened it it said " love is only the begging " making her blush as she turn to look at her seeing that grin on her face making black strawberry throw the ball up note at her . thinking School year was going to be hell it actually turned out ...good but she didn't want to admit that or to actually remember the kiss that she gotten from someone who she didn't even like from the beginning but deep down she was starting to feel something for him but she wanted to forget it but her friend Apple knew exactly how she was feeling now the worst is to come seeing all she has to do is pass high school and get past college until next time stay toon for more of Black Strawberry Rock : school life !
