The Pleasantview Panther's championship win had every teen in generation 8 on cloud 9. It was such a fitting end to the year, and made everyone feel so awesome. As the school year came to a close, the teens decided the best way to celebrate had to be an awesome dance party on the beach.
"I never thought of you as a football guy, babe," Sadé said to Li as they danced together. "Why, cus I'm Asian?" Li asked. "No, because you're a little bit of a dweeb," she laughed. "Didn't you ever watch High School Musical? I can be a dweeb and a football guy, you know." "Gosh, you're so wise," Sadé said.
Taylor was trying to enjoy herself, dancing and partying with her cousins and classmates, but she couldn't help but feel left out again. Just about all of her cousins were dating and it often felt weird to be around them, like she was third wheeling. Even at a party with her entire class, she couldn't help but feel out of place.
"Nope, we're not doing that," Alana said, sidling up to Taylor with a very impressive shimmy. "Doing what?" Taylor asked. "Feeling sorry for ourselves because we're single," Gavin called from behind her. "Yeah, this is a party for all of us, losers included," said Alana. "I'm literally a winner," Gavin said. "I threw the winning touchdown!" "Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean," Alana laughed. Taylor laughed along with her, and joined her cousins in dancing, abandoning the small pity party she'd just thrown for herself.
"I'm thinking of going pro, you know," Kyo said as he danced with Harmony. "Nothing wrong with trying, sweetie," Harmony said. "What, you don't think I can?" he asked. "I literally know nothing about football, you're asking the wrong girl," she said.
"Ready for college?" Alana asked as she and Taylor took a moment to get some drinks from the juice bar. "I don't know, maybe," Taylor muttered. "I'm glad we have a nice long summer to get used to how much everything's about to change." "Yeah, me too," said Alana. "I bet it'll be cooler than this at least." "It better be," Taylor said.
Jason tucked a strand of hair behind Marsha's ear as they danced.. "You're such a romantic, you know," she giggled. "I can't help it," he said. "I have the cutest girlfriend in the world." "You sure you gonna be feeling that way when you're a big football star in college," said Marsha. "First of all 'football star' isn't even a real term," Jason laughed. "And second, hell yeah! I'm in this for the long haul, babe." "Me too," Marsha said, pressing into him for a kiss. The teens danced the night away, spending their time moving and enjoying the music and each other's company.
