It was exactly as both Rolo and Corinne feared. Their dance was as awkward as hell. They tried to perform some kind of dance that resembled the waltz, but Corinne kept bouncing off of Rolos gut. It wasn't long until laughter could be heard from the crowd.
"Hey! Shut up dude! Don't be such a dick!" reprimanded Divo.
"I'm sorry man, but ya gotta admit. It's pretty damn funny." said Switch.
Corrine bounced off of Rolos gut for the fourth time in a row in an effort to dance. It almost looked like Santa was trying to dance with one of his elves.
"Yeah, you got a point there." replied Divo.
"I think it's cute." intoned Miranda. A girl that Divo just met at that party. A short, slightly curvy cutie with long straight black hair.
"Yeah." said Divo.
He felt kinda sorry for both Rolo and Corinne. Though nobody dared to mock Rolo to his face, people still talked behind other peoples backs.
The laughter from the crowd started to grow. Rolo could see Corinne discomfort grow with each passing second. It was too late to leave though, for they were already in the eye of the storm.
Rolos heart began to break as he noticed tears beginning to well in Corinnes eyes. There was only one thing he could do.
He brought Corinne close to him and whispered into her ear.
"It's gonna be alright. Just follow my lead ok?" asked Rolo.
