Sorry for the short story! I promised the party chapter (which is next) will be longer. Comment on what you might want to see or WHO you might want see. i have some surprises, but it's up to you. :) :) :) :)
The last few days had been very stressful for everyone. Ever since Taylor kissed her Selena hadn't been herself. She sat at her table for the past five minutes staring off into the distance. Demi automatically thought it was Miley's fault, but Miley was just as in the dark as her. The only time Selena would change her expression was when she got a text and that was every other minute.
"So, who is ready for the party tonight?" Sterling asked, breaking the silence as he sat down next to Demi. Miley and Dallas smiled at each other, making Demi do a double take. Miley and Dallas were acting just as strange as Selena.
"We are. Since we don't have dates to the party we're going to go together," Miley announced, getting the Selena to look away from whatever she was staring at and listen. Demi, on the other hand, almost threw up in her mouth.
"What? You two are going together?" Demi asked, trying to get a different answer. There was no way Demi could allow this, but Dallas nodded slowly.
"Yeah, that's what Miley said," Dallas replied, confused at the way her sister was acting. Dallas looked around the table; Demi was still in disbelief, Sterling was smirking, and Selena gave a small smile.
"Well, it'll be hot. I'm not opposed" Sterling said, earning a shove from Demi. Selena gave a weak laugh and looked at Miley. The two looked at each other and Miley looked helpless because she knew Selena could see right through her.
"Yeah, it's sweet, two friends going to a party together without complications. I wish I had that privilege," Selena replied, directing her words to Miley. Miley felt a pang of guilt and Dallas looked at Miley for some answers.
Miley never explained to Dallas why they were going to the party together. It was obvious Miley liked Selena. Dallas played the dumb card on that, but Dallas could tell Miley was hurting. Miley and Selena had been friends since before Demi and Dallas moved here. The two of them had something special that Dallas could never have with Selena.
"Yeah, friends," Demi said, watching Dallas and Miley carefully. Demi just didn't buy into what Miley was doing. Just then, Selena got a text and looked down to read it. She smiled and typed in reply.
"Who are you texting, Selena? You haven't been able to take your eyes off of your phone. You sexting, huh," Sterling said, poking fun. Demi shoved him again and he laughed at it. Sterling just put his arm around Demi and Demi leaned into Sterling, waiting for Selena to answer.
"Just texting my date for tonight," Selena replied, causally. Miley and Dallas both held their breath. Selena had a date and didn't tell them till now.
"Who's your date?" Demi asked, watching Miley. Selena smiled and got up.
"No one important," Selena replied, walking off. Looking in Taylor's direction and silently telling her to follow.
Across the café, Lea sat down with Taylor, Joe, and Taylor. Taylor Swift was taken by surprise as Taylor Black put his arm around Lea.
"Are you two together?" Joe asked, confused. Taylor Black smiled and shook his head.
"Nah, Joe. I'm just happy that our diva finally came to her senses and is sitting with us," Taylor said, cuddling into Lea. Swift looked over at Selena who was staring in her direction and looked back at Lea.
"I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" Swift asked, making Lea sigh like everyone asked her that question. Lea sat up straight and looked at her normal table with Kevin, Cory, Dianna, and everyone.
"I needed a change," Lea replied, in a matter-of-fact tone. Swift cocked her head and tried to read Lea's expression.
"Why," Swift said, letting the word drift in the air. Taylor rolled his eyes at Swift and turned to Joe for help.
"Lea, you don't have to answer. We are just glad to have another girl at the table, aren't we, Tay," Joe said, looking at Swift. Taylor relaxed a bit into Lea until Lea spoke.
"No, no, you all deserve to know," Lea began, tapping her painted nails on the table. Swift looked off at Selena again, who was getting up.
"We really don't care," Taylor mumbled, looking away from Lea. Lea ignore Taylor and started telling Joe and Swift. Taylor Swift watched as Selena left the café, eying her to follow.
"-and then Cory accused me of being a traitor," Lea ranted, throwing her hands up for dramatic affect. Taylor Swift stood up and started walking off.
"Hey, Tay, where are you going?" Joe asked, turning around to face her.
"Yeah, the rant's still happening," Taylor Black called, sarcastically. Lea nudged him and rolled her eyes.
"I got to talk to someone before 7th period. I will be right back with you guys later," Taylor Swift called back, walking out of the café.
"Anyway, as I was saying-,"
"We get it, Lea. Cory insulted you and you're mad so you're sitting with us. End of story," Taylor complained, interrupting Lea. Joe laughed to himself of Lea's shocked face. Taylor rubbed his eyes in the few seconds of silence before Lea spoke again.
"Fine then," Lea sneered, mocking Taylor. The three ate in silence for a small while before Taylor began talking.
"So, Joe, are you taking Taylor to the party tonight?" Taylor asked, smirking at Joe's reaction. Joe was shocked that Taylor would bring it up in front of Lea, but he did.
"No, I asked, but she said she was going with someone else," Joe admitted, looking down. His crush was so obvious that even Nick noticed it. Lea felt bad for Joe so she piped in.
"Why not go with Heather?" Lea asked, peppy again. Joe knew that if he could get Heather Pierce to go to the party with him then he would be a god, but all he wanted was Taylor.
"I don't know," Joe sighed, stretching.
"Oh, come on! Heather needs a date and thinks you're cute. She also said something about you not being checked off her hook up list," Lea commented, re-thinking what she just said. Taylor smirked and looked at Lea.
"Are you checked off her list?" He asked, giving her his flirty look.
"No, gross," Lea replied, pushing Taylor out of her way.
"Maybe, I will ask her after school," Joe decided, shrugging. Just then, Taylor Swift walked back in with a crushed look to her.
"What's wrong?" Lea asked, a little rudely. Taylor Swift sucked it up and smiled.
"Nothing," She answered, looking at Joe. "So, what were you guys talking about?"
"Who is going with whom to the party tonight," Taylor Black said, causally. Swift looked down thinking of Selena. Taylor asked Selena to go the party with her and Selena said yes, but that meant hurting Joe. Swift knew that she would lose Taylor and Joe once she showed up to that party with Selena; they hated Selena.
"So, who are you going with? Joe said you already had a date," Lea questioned, raising an eyebrow. Joe groaned that it became obvious that they were talking about Taylor. Swift open and closed her mouth trying to come up with an answer.
"Just… a friend, one that I haven't spent much time with," Taylor said, slowly. Lea rolled her eyes that Taylor was avoiding her question.
"Who is your friend?" Lea asked, annoyed. Taylor was just about to answer with a lie when the bell rang. Taylor had never been so happy to go to history. Everyone at the table got up and Taylor bolted. Taylor Black watched her and knew something was up. Joe was too love-struck to notice and Lea didn't care, but Taylor could see through the blonde. Taylor made a self-note to keep an eye on Swift.
Taylor Swift checked behind her before turning a corner, making herself run into Ashley. The two blondes fell backward to the ground as the blonde diva scoffed.
"I know you probably have some weird lesbian crush on me, but keep your distance," Ashley ordered, as she and Taylor got up.
"Okay, but I don't like you. I don't think any girl likes you," Taylor replied, oblivious to what she just said. Ashley gasped and folded her hands.
"What about Selena?" Ashley smiled as Taylor narrowed her eyes.
"Probably not, you see, she hates bitches," Taylor bitched back at Ashley. Ashley rolled her eyes and began walking off.
"Then why did she date you? I heard some interesting things, Taylor," Ashley called back as she turned a corner. Taylor groaned and walked into history. Since Taylor was now one of the last people to come into the class there was only two seats left; one next to Naya and one next to the teacher's desk. Taylor was about to take the one by the teacher's desk when some other kid took it.
"Ms. Swift, please take a seat," the teacher said, getting up in front of the class. Taylor dragged herself next to Naya who was just as annoyed as Taylor. Heather began whispering into Naya's ear while glancing toward Taylor every so often. The teacher droned on as Taylor took notes and Naya and Heather whispered back and forth.
Taylor could feel a pain in her chest as the class went on. This year wasn't a good year so far for Taylor. Everyone hated her and there was nothing she could do. She could hear Naya giggle at something Heather said as she looked at Taylor.
"Oh god, I think she might cry," Naya whispered so quietly that Taylor almost didn't hear it, but she did. Heather giggled this time and nodded. When the bell rang, Taylor bolted out of the class. She rushed as fast as she could out of the school and to the one place she felt safe. Taylor ran and ran until she ran straight into Selena's arms.
