I hope you find this chapter as entertaining as the last one! I own nothing but April and Jake and the plotline and partial ownership for Bleeding Hearts. I think I do at least. And I own this computer. And the nailpolish on my fingers. And the swirly chair that I'm sitting in, but that's about it.
Ana's POV
"Hey Ana!" I heard a familiar voice call after me as I exited the lunch room.
"What do you want?" I snapped as I turned around to face a smirking Zakk.
Zakk stepped closer to me, "Nothing. Just seeing if you have a date to the dance yet."
"Yeah, I do!" I replied shortly, trying to step away but not succeeding.
Zakk raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? Who?"
I blinked, "He um, doesn't go here. He texted me during lunch if I had plans that day and I told him and he suggested this. Sooo, yup."
Zakk nodded supsiciously, "Yeah... Well, what does he look like, maybe I know him."
I racked my brain nervously, "Well um, he has hair... On his head. And a chin right below his mouth. RIght where I like chins..."
Zakk laughed, "You don't have a date, do you?"
"No," I admitted.
"Well, would you consider going with me?" He asked.
I blushed, "I'll um, I'll think about it."
"Text me!" Zakk insisted as we turned down different hallways.
"Hi Ginger!" A venomously sweet voice greeted from behind me.
Fantastic, the bottle blonde and her clones. "Hi Man-Hands!" I greeted.
Olivia crossed her arms, "Loser, why were you talking to my boyfriend?"
"You aren't together anymore Olivia, he dumped you. Remember?" I reminded her.
Olivia scowled, "It's unoffical right now."
"Yeah, of course," I agreed sarcastically.
"Well, he'll be my date to the dance. It's way better than your imaginary boyfriend!" Olivia scoffed.
"I don't have an imaginary boyfriend!" I defended quickly.
Olivia and her clones laughed, "Whatever you say sweetie!"
I bit my lip as I opened my locker and pulled out my phone. I quickly typed a text to Zakk.
I will go to the dance with you.
Was I going to regret this? Yeah, probably.
At The End Of The Day
Still Ana's POV
Everyone in Bleeding Hearts was now in the Sector AA treehouse that we used as a part time rehersal studio. It was pretty cool.
"So, does anyone have a date yet?" Adrian asked coming out of the kitchen with a bottle of root beer in his hand.
I slowly raised my hand and everyon gaped at me.
"ANA! It's been all of 4 hours since we made the bet!" April screeched.
I crossed my arms, "I didn't ask anyone, he asked me!"
Riley looked solemn, "Who's he?"
I looked at the floor and mumbled something incoherit.
"Repeat!" Vada yelled.
"ZAKK!" I yelled back.
April, who was sitting on the couch jumped up and started yelling Icelandic profanity. Pacing back and forth across the room, she was talking a mile a minute. "Ana! Hvernig gastu gert þetta? Þú sagðir að þú hafir ekki eins og Zakk og svo ég var að hugsa um að biðja hann að dansa eða að minnsta kosti að reyna að fá hann til að spyrja mig. En veistu hvað, ég get ekki! Og það er allt þér að kenna! Soul systur segja sálu systur ef þeir ert á leið á að spyrja heitasta gaur í skóla í dans. Ugh! Nú þú færð að standa mjög nálægt því að Zakk Tyler í Tux. Ég öfunda þig Ana! Það er bara ekki réttlátt!" Wow.. she must be really angry if she was slipping in and out of Icelandic and English.
Everyone else just sat and watched the angry blonde and she screamed to herself more than anyone, and we honestly were trying not to laugh.
"Is she... okay?" Vada whispered to Jake, who was smirking and watching his little sister explode.
"She's mad. Actually, she's kind of whinning more than anything... She keeps saying that it's not fair."
Vada giggled and leaned back.
Eventually April cooled down and sat back down by us. Fernando sat next to her and she placed her head against his shoulder. Fernando took April's hand in his own.
"Don't ask," April said as Fernando wrapped his free arm around her back.
"So, rehearse?" Vada tried.
"Sounds great!" I exclaimed hurriedly.
Everyone tuned their instruments and I couldn't help but laugh at Fernando's, erm, stunned face. April was still sitting next to him, allowing Fernando to hold her close while she tuned her yellow bass guitar. So we were all stunned, yeah.
"Why don't we work on a duet?" Riley suggested, smirking.
"Sounds great, how about Fernando and I?" April replied absent mindedly.
And then, silence... "Who are you and what did you do with April?" Jake demanded.
"Oh, can it!" April laughed, getting up and pulling Fernando with her.
"Just pick a song," Vada said impatiently.
"Dead hearts?" Fernando suggested.
"Sure!" April replied.
April loved Dead Hearts. It was ghosty almost depressing, but she loved it nonetheless.
Fernando: Tell me everything that happened,
Tell me everything you saw.
April: They had lights inside their eyes...
They had lights inside their eyes...
Fernando: Did you see the closing window,
Did you hear the slamming door?
April: They moved forward and my heart died...
They moved forward and my heart died...
Fernando: Please, please tell me what they looked like,
Did they seem afraid of you?
April: They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Both: I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Fernando: Did you touch them, did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
April: They make me feel I'm falling down...
They make me feel I'm falling down...
Fernando: Was there one you saw too clearly,
Did they seem too real to you?
April: They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Both: I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Both: I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
It's hard to know they're out there,
It's hard to know that you still care.
I can say it, but you won't you believe me.
You say you do, but you don't deceive me.
Dead hearts are everywhere!
Dead hearts are everywhere!
April: They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Fernando: Now they're all dead hearts to you...
Now they're all dead hearts to you...
April: They were kids that I once knew...
They were kids that I once knew...
Both: Now they're all dead hearts to you...
"How was that?" April asked.
"That was... great!" I replied.
April beamed, "Yay!"
"What about you Fernando? How did it feel to you?" Vada asked, looking at Jake quickly.
"It felt..." Fernando caught April's glance and they smiled at each other, "Perfect."
April blushed and looked down, "I um, I have to go train. Softball tryouts are soon." And with that she ran out.
I have a feeling that she figured out that she couldn't go with Fernando to the dance. Poor girl.
Poor Fernando.
