Chapter 1
Even a month later, we were still outcasts. I made Fang wear a cap to school (he said 'no' and I threatened to break up, but I'd never do that) to hide his increasingly long hair.
The school had sent a letter to students fifteen and above (and that was before I got Fang to wear a cap) to inform us that there would be a prom about a month later. It said that there would be two ordinary students chosen to be Prom King and Prom Queen, so that would make them EXTRAordinary. Jeez, both Fang and I were already extraordinary, what with wings and all. Iggy flatly refused to go, but we still dragged him and left him somewhere on his own anyway. Fang politely asked me out with his famous posh waiter accent and I accepted. Like, what do you want me to do?
Since we were going to the prom, I decided that Fang should have a change in hairstyle, so I dragged him to the hairdresser Nudge had dragged me to after school the day before the prom. His hair was about ten centimeter a strand and that was very long. This time, it was I who was giving the instructions and Fang was the victim, sitting on the chair without moving an inch. I had the hairdresser cut his hair until no strand touched his ear except for the hair at the front right of his face, which I asked the hair dresser to leave alone to give him the 'hot & mysterious' look. Fang liked it, alright.
Then I got Fang off the chair and settled myself in there. I got the hairdresser to cut my hair to only two layers (I had been reading up on the terms just before I dragged Fang's butt to the hair dresser), the longer layer just below my shoulder and the shorter one just above it. I got the hairdresser to streak my hair black again, because the black streaks from the visit to the hairdresser before hadn't been low enough to hack off completely. I paid for my haircut and Fang paid for his, then we walked out of the hairdresser hand in hand.
We searched high and low for a dress shop so I could get a freaking dress. I found the perfect one, but kept it a secret and didn't show it to Fang. Not even the color. I then whisked Fang off to another shop where they sold tuxedos. Tux weren't much of a great deal, so Fang let me see it. Big deal. So we went to our respective homes after a kiss and started dreaming of the perfect prom.
-------------------------------
On the prom day, there was no school, so Ella, Nudge and Angel had volunteered to doll me up, and against my better judgment, I let them. Okay, so what if I looked like a top model after they were done? They had just let me keep my hair down but curled a few strands into ringlets. I glanced at the mirror, ready to find a monster reflected in there, but I looked wonderful. They had put a light, red blush over my cheeks and a faint black eye shadow at my eyelids. Nudge forced on a pair of clip on fake diamond earrings (which looked quite real) and I was ready to go except for the dress.
So I pulled it on and it matched my make up perfectly. The dress was strapless, but it hid my wings well, and it had two layers. The bottom layer was red gauze which fluffed up a little at the bottom. The upper layer was black velvet and from both the front and back view, it looked like it had been slashed by a knife, leaving an uneven, frayed, cutting for a rim, and it revealed a triangular shape of the red gauze underneath. As always, I wore a pair of shorts, but underneath the dress. As an extra, Angel fitted a sparkling tiara on my hair a little to the left.
Fang was so gonna faint is he saw me like this. When I walked down the steps to get into mum's car so she could drive me to school, Gazzy wolf whistled and whispered to Iggy not-so softly, "Man, if only you could see her." Iggy said mock seriously, already in his tux ready to go to the prom, "Gaz, she's Fang's girl, and Fang's girls are always untouchable." I rolled my eyes and got into the front seat of the car. Iggy had insisted occupying the back seat so he could 'lie down and give his eyes a rest'. But for goodness sake, the guy's blind and his eyes aren't even working anymore!
I had arranged for Fang to be my escort, and I was to meet him outside the hall. As I neared the hall, I saw a swarm of girls around a tall black head, of whom I took to be Fang. Slowly, I walked towards him, but he was too busy trying to get rid of the girls to notice me. Then suddenly, as if hearing my footsteps, he turned sharply towards me, glasses gone. I grinned at him and he almost fell over. Recovering, he made his way towards me, "Ah, here's my date." He stuck out a hand and I took it graciously. I had to admit, he looked extra hot today.
He grasped my hand and whispered into my ear, "You look positively stunning, and I'm one stunned little fang." I chuckled and swatted his arm. He smiled at me and we walked through the doors of the hall, amidst people staring at us. Accidentally, lost in our own world, we bumped into Yvonne, the school's most popular chick. She turned to us, ready to scold, but her face softened when she saw Fang, and as if I weren't there, asked, "How do you do, handsome?"
"Fine, thank you," Fang mumbled. He looked so cute at the moment that I couldn't resist the urge to just peck his lips, and I did just that. Yvonne sneered at me and leered, "So, he's taken, huh." Then her face changed and directed her question towards Fang, "What's your name?"
"Nicholas, the outcast," I said simply for him, "You mean you never noticed?" and led him to the drinks table, leaving a stock still, statue like Yvonne standing in the middle of the entrance. Fang sniggered, "That'll teach her a lesson."
Suddenly, one guy came up to me and asked, "Care for a dance?" I hadn't noticed that the music had started playing. "No," I said, but got whisked off to the dance floor by that guy anyway. He wasn't in the least bit like Fang. He was a lot shorter, and he had light brown hair. He was plump and ugly, to sum it all up. I tried to break away but his grip only tightened. I felt fear start to grip my heart when suddenly, someone shouted, "Let go of her, now!"
Ah, here's comes my prince charming on his black wings.
