Chapter 10

"Yes! This is going to be awesome!" Carlos yelled as the 4 boys walked into the Palmwoods.

"I know! I can't believe that Gustavo is letting us have the Palmwoods dance at Roque Records!" Kendall said.

"We still have to perform guys." Logan pointed out.

"Who cares, it's only a couple songs, we have the whole night." James said.

"And we have to help plan it." Logan said. "And I have to go ask Camille, but I don't know how."

"I'll help you man. Let's go." James took Logan away. Carlos and Kendall looked at each other.

"I need to go ask someone. Like Jennifer!" And Carlos was gone. Kendall sighed. He was going to get stuck with planning everything. He looked around the lobby. On the other side, June and Jo were talking and laughing. He quickly walked over.

"Hey Kendall." Jo said.

"Hey guys. Guess what?" Kendall asked. "We are having a Palmwoods dance!"

"But I thought that there wasn't anywhere to do it?" June asked.

"Well Gustavo said that we could do it at Rocque Records as long as we help plan and perform a couple songs." Kendall explained.

"Sweet! I need to go make a phone call now." June said. She walked past Jo and winked. Jo smiled and turned to Kendall.

"So…" Jo said.

"So…" Kendall said.

"Is there something you want to ask me?" Jo asked. Kendall looked at her.

"Oh yeah, can you get some food for the party?" Kendall asked. Jo smile dropped.

"Uh sure." Jo said.

"Thanks!" Kendall said and walked off. Jo sighed and pouted. This was going to be a long day.

-BREAK-

It was a couple minutes before the dance was to officially start. June, Jo and Camille were standing outside Rocque Records together. Justine wasn't feeling good so she was skipping this dance.

June was wearing a navy blue dress that had a drop neck. It had elastic at the waist and little pockets. She had blue and white stripped flats that matched. Her hair was down and straight.

Jo had a light green dress on that was a v-neck. It was tighter at the waist and then just flowed out. She had 2 inch green wedges on because she was the shortest of the group and if she ended up dancing with Kendall, she could use the height. Her hair was down and curled.

Camille had a simple pink dress that was a deep-u. It hugged her body until the waist, where it went out. She was just wearing pink flats that matched. Her hair was it's normal wavy.

"So he never asked you?" June asked Jo. She shook her head.

"Nope. He kept asking me to help him and never actually asked me." Jo sighed. "What about you guys?"

"Well Logan kept trying to ask me, but it wasn't special and I've never been asked out before so I told him to make it special." Camille said. The other girls laughed.

"You've been crushing on Logan since he got here, why can't you just accept him?" June asked. Camille shrugged.

"It's my personality. I can't change it. What about you June? Did a certain teen idol ask a certain songwriter?" Camille asked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. June shook her head.

"Dak doesn't live at the Palmwoods, so he wasn't going to come. But that's fine. I have my girls." June said and wrapped her arms around her two best friends. "Now let's get in there!"

They walked into the decorated room. The boys really did a good job. They walked together onto the dance floor. They were telling jokes and laughing when they heard a loud noise from behind them. They turned around to see Logan on top of a fake horse. The looked at each other.

"Camille, my fair lady, will you go to this dance with me?" Logan asked. Camille smiled and looked excitedly at her two best friends. Jo and June's jaws were dropped in shock.

"Yup!" She said. Logan got off his 'horse' and they walked away. The back of the horse came out, revealing Kendall, the rest of the horse walked away.

"Hey Jo, wanna dance?" Kendall asked. Jo looked at him.

"You didn't even ask me to this dance." She said. Kendall looked at her confused.

"I thought we were an item, so I didn't need to ask." Kendall said. Jo's smile appeared back on her face.

"Oh. Okay then. Let's go." She waved at June and then left with Kendall.

And then there was one. June sighed. She pulled out her phone, checking if she had any messages from Dak, saying that he was here or coming. Nothing. She sighed.

"Something wrong?" Someone asked from behind her. June turned around to see James standing there.

"I guess not." June said, unsure of her answer.

"Where's everyone?" James asked.

"Kendall and Jo are dancing, Logan and Camille are probably doing the same, I think that's Carlos over there with the Jennifers. And then you're right here." June said, looking over at Carlos dressed in some weird outfit and then back and James.

"Where's Dak?" James asked, hoping his jealousy wasn't showing.

"He doesn't live at the Palmwoods so he isn't coming." June said, scratching her arm nervously.

"That's too bad." James said, this time hoping his excitement didn't show too much. June shrugged.

"I guess. What about you? Who did you ask?" June asked, not out of jealousy, just to get a conversation.

"I actually didn't ask anyone." James said. June looked at him disbelievingly.

"No way." June said. He nodded.

"Yeah, I was too busy helping Logan ask Camille." James said. June nodded. She looked at him. He didn't ask anyone. Was he really getting over his player thing? Did he really care about June all the time instead or just when convenient? It was starting to get awkward. A slowish song started playing.

"Do you want to dance?" James asked. June looked at him. It wouldn't be bad if they danced, right? June was just opening her mouth to answer when she was interrupted.

"Hey James, ready to dance?" A brunette asked as she walked up to them. James looked confused for a second.

"You? Don't you mean me?" A blonde girl asked. James looked even more confused.

"No. He asked me to the dance." The brunette said.

"No, he asked me." A red head came up. Soon there were 6 girls all saying that James asked them out.

"Maybe I did ask someone out." James said. June rolled her eyes. She was so close, but she was actually glad that brunette showed up.

"I'll let you figure that out James." June said, a bit more sour that she intended. She started to walked away.

"No June!" But it was too late, she was lost in the crowd. He sighed and turned back to the girls who were all angry.

June walked around until she saw Carlos, who was arguing with all three Jennifers. They were all yelling at him and June felt bad. Carlos was such a nice kid. She walked over.

"Hey Carlos, do you want to dance?" June asked. He looked at her, relieved.

"Carlos would love too." Carlos said. June took his hand and they started to walk away when blonde Jennifer had to open her mouth.

"Fine Carlos, go ahead and dance with the fake, Hollywood wannabe." She snapped. June stopped and turned around. She walked back and got right in Jennifer's face.

"I'm not a Hollywood wannabe. I'm going to college and I have wrote over 10 number one hits. I'm making something out of myself, unlike you, who hasn't had a role in a year." June said. The other 2 Jennifers, Carlos, James, and a couple people around we watching intently.

"Well at least I'm not fake. Look at your hair. It's obviously dyed." Jennifer said. June rolled her eyes.

"Yes I know that and so does everyone else. Hair doesn't grow like this." She said and displayed her ombred hair. "Speaking of which, your blonde hair is faker than mine. Honey, you're not fooling anyone." June said. Jennifer gasped. The crowd had got a lot bigger. James was watching intensely, forgetting about the other girls. Jennifer started to talk, but June cut her off.

"Why don't you get your shit straight before you start talking trash." June said. The crowd cheered and June turned around and took Carlos' hand.

"Let's go dance." She said. Carlos nodded and they walked a little further away.

"That was awesome! You're so good at telling people off!" Carlos said. June laughed.

"I've had practice." June said. They started dancing.

James was watching from the other side of the room. He couldn't believe what June just did. She was not the same girl as the girl he cheated on 2 years ago in Minnesota. This June was a lot bolder. Old June would never do that. Although James had always loved June, this made her seem a million times hotter. They were so close to dancing! He could see that she was about to accept, before that girl showed up. And he was telling the truth!

James loved June and he was going to get her back, whatever it took.
