(A/n as promised, the dress I made up in my head is in this chapter, and you'll hear more about Shannon Marrie, and Chloe's powers :D)
Tom's still staring blankly at me, and I wish I hadn't told him (A/n I know I usually end it on a night time and start again in the morning, but this picks up right after she told Tom who her mother is.) I shake his shoulder, a little worried, he jumps slightly and looks around as if not knowing where he is. "Tom, say something" I start, sounding as worried as I feel "Tom please, this silence is killing me..."
He turns to face me and takes my hand again, "So what?" He says, I think I must have miss heard him. "So what if Neferet's your mother? That doesn't make you a bad person, just the daughter of one" I'm so relived I think I may cry, but I laugh instead. I wrap my arms around his waist and kiss him passionately "Tom baker you are amazing! I can't believe you really don't care" He smiles softly at me, "Believe it sweet snake charmer, now that I know the basics on you maybe you should know a little about me?" I nod my head, interested to know who he is.
"Well my childhood was average, my parents are divorced but they're still friends so it's not that important to me. My favourite colour is blue, and in my spare time I like to play guitar and my favourite animal is probably... Cats I think, I like cats" Huh, I never had him pegged as a cat guy... "Anyway" He continues, his smile slightly sadder now "The girls will want you back soon, and you've got to get ready for the dance, its about eleven now and it starts at twelve, no destined finishing point, and they let us off school tomorrow (A/n again no idea if this is true, but I wanted to maybe use Monday to do some other points of view, like Saffron and Anya maybe? What do you think?)
He smiles brightly again and stands up, pulling me with him, and we walk to my dorm, still talking about each other and learning. We're laughing when we reach the door, well I am anyway Tom's pouting adorably "Sorry Tom, I just can't imagine you being scared of spiders" He just continues pouting until I wrap my arms around his shoulders and kiss him softly, he wraps his arms around my waist and keeps hold of me once I pull away. "Until tonight sweet snake charmer, I look forward to seeing you in your pretty little dress" I frown at this and he laughs as he walks away.
I let a small girly giggle escape my lips before I pull myself back together and walk inside. I walk through to the bedroom where Anya and Saffron are waiting. "So girls, where's this dress then?" Anya smiled, picked up the bag next to her and tossed it to me, I pulled out the dress and widened my eyes a little when I saw it. It was gorgeous, not quite perfect, but they had it right! It was a neon green strapless a line mini with a sweetheart neckline. I could already see how I'd style it up.
I looked over to the two of them and smiled. "It's great, not perfect but I know exactly what to do. Thank you so much guys!" They smiled towards me and blew out sighs of relief "glad you like it" Anya said, and then Saffron continued "Now we can get ready!" I smiled, knowing exactly what to do I put the dress down on my bed and walked to my wardrobe.
I pulled on a black fishnet top and a pair of red tights then slid the dress on over the top, I clicked together the buckle of my teal waist belt and put on my matching converses. Not ready yet though, hair and makeup next. After foundation and concealer I slicked on winged out eyeliner, mascara, a neon pink lipstick and clear gloss, then stuck small red gems into the corners of my eyes. Time for the hair, I pulled it all into a thick bun and it sat on the back of my head, I pulled a long strand out on one side and pulled it apart to make it a little messier and scene. Ready to go. Right on time too, I just heard a knock at the door.
Me Saffron and Anya did a little dance before we walked to the door, I pulled it open and was greeted by an adorable sight. Tom was wearing black skinny jeans, black converses, a white button up shirt with a tux jacket and black tie. Nice, I smiled and took his hand "Hello Tom, you look good this evening" He smiled and kissed me softly before we started walking too the main hall for the dance, Anya with Jasper and Saffron with Remus followed quickly behind. When he got inside I could tell that my look stood out a mile... Yay.
Shannon Marrie sauntered over right on que, her hair was light blond with a sweeping fringe and reached her waist when straight, she had it piled up on top of her head with a few short curly tendrils. Her dress was black, super short and clung to her figure, grey tights, black court heels and grey jewellery, too dull and dark to be described as silver.
She smiles at Tom before turning her head to me, she looks me up and down then sneers "Wow" She starts off in her usual bitchy tone "It looks like someone threw up a rainbow." I get a little annoyed at her slating my outfit so the room begins to shake softly, I calm down near enough but I could still feel small vibrations under my feet. "Better a rainbow than a storm cloud Shazza." I retort, I know she hates it when people call her that. Which is why I said it.
She just frowns and saunters off, her heels clicking as she does. I feel a pair of hands grip my shoulders and I suddenly calm down, the softly shaking room stills once again. "Calm down Chloe, none of us wants an earthquake at our dance." Zoey walked around to face me and smiled "Much better."
"Wait a second" Remus interjects, "That shaking was you?" I turn to face him and nod my head "Apparently that's what happens when I get angry now"
"Telekinesis" He stated, I wasn't sure if he meant me, so I pointed to my head and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes you Chloe, I think you can move things with your mind, telekinesis, also I think there's a chance Tom's little nickname for you might be true, I think you can communicate with snakes." That was a lot to take in. I didn't want to think about it right now, I just wanted to party for a while without distraction. "That's enough professor Remus" Saffron said rolling her eyes "let the poor girl have a stress free night, lets go dance" Anya and Saffron went off with their boyfriends and twirled their way onto the dance floor. Wish I was that graceful.
Tom started to walk towards the dance floor, but terrified as I was by the prospect of dancing I stayed put. Tom looked around and laughed softly "So Neferet doesn't scare you, but the idea of dancing is simply terrifying?" I nod my head, remembering the last time I danced. It was at the school disco when I was eleven, everyone laughed at me. I haven't danced since. But no way was Tom letting me sit on the sidelines all evening.
He walked back over to me and pulled my arms up around his shoulders and slid his own around my waist, I leaned in to kiss him but he pulled his head back. "Not kissing you till you dance with me" He vowed, smirking widely. I whined like a small child, slightly torn between the two ideas. Finally I give in, and decide it can't be that bad to dance with him. I stand up on my toes and kiss him softly, he smiles and we pull apart to walk to the dance floor
I pull my arms back up around his shoulders and his go back to my waist as we twirl round in a slow circle to the beat of whatever is playing, its crap whatever it is. Slow torture. I glance over there and see a decked out dj booth, I never told Tom because I thought he'd laugh but I'm a pretty kick ass dj. And this guy clearly isn't.
I pull away from Tom and when he looks confused I give him a little wink and wander over to the dj booth. Dj Erick, his name tag says. "Hey Dj Erick, no offence but this is slow torture, mind if I spin for a while?" He nods his head and turns to face me. When he does his eyes widen and he seems lost for words a moment. "S sure thing kiddo, I was gonna take a break anyway" He runs of sharpish, weird. I pick up the retro headphones he left behind and take the crappy vinyls from the decks and replace them with two new discs, Gorey demise and aim for the head, both creature feature classics. I know these guys are more interested in all the preppy girly stuff, but im gonna open their eyes...
The mix is going great and everyone loves it. But I want to dance with Tom, so I stick on auto mix and jump down from the booth. Tom laughs and hugs me tightly "Didn't know you could mix sweet snake charmer" I
nod my head and hug him back "It's a hobby I guess" He smiles and pulls me back to the dance floor, this time his hands grip my hips and mine stay wrapped on his shoulders.
I don't know how long we dance but eventually we all get kind of tired and bored, so we head to the girls dorm to hang out a while, we all curl up together watching an old action movie called 'Taken' it's pretty good, and we all fall asleep on the sofa's halfway through the next movie, Shark tale. Childish but super awesome.
