Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Mean Girls, KFC, HSM, or the songs. Although... those are some of my favorite things :)
AN: I was surprised. I only got one review saying how they don't like HSM. Ha. And to answer thier question... I'm sixteen. And I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a sixteen year old sophomore who loves High School Musical. In fact, I went to a 7:00 show Friday Night, and there were some eighteen year old SENIORS there. Like, with their friends and not their five year old siblings. And this is getting wayyy off subject. Ha.
Ummmm, I hope you like. Drama in this chapter. I might have over done it. Like... I 'll see why. Ha.

Chapter 11: Hot and Cold Tonight
--
Previously on DWFP:
Around 7, we headed out, and I couldn't help but feel that this would be a night to remember.
--
How wrong was I? Instead of being a night to remember, it turned out to be one of the worst nights of my life.
Wait- I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Let's... start from the beginning.

7:15 pm
We all split up into pairs and drove to the dance that way, so I was with Edward.
I don't know how they managed it, but when we were only half way to the school, Rosalie texted me. She was there already.
Wow, you should get here. Soon. :)
"Wow." I said.
"What?" Edward asked.
"Rosalie and Emmett are there already."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I don't know how they pulled that on off. They left after us."
"Oh well, that just means I get you to myself for a few minutes longer." He said with a wink.
I laughed, "Lucky you."
After a few seconds, I started laughing and Edward gave me a questioning look. "What's so funny?"
"I'm just thinking about how juvenile we are. I mean Gabriella and Troy?"
He just shrugged. "It's Halloween. Anyone's juvenile for dressing up when they're 18."
It was my turn to shrug. "I guess."
"Besides, I think you're cute with your pig tails." He pulled on one.
"Why, thank you."

Edward pulled into the parking lot and turned the engine off.
"You know, your car is way nicer than the real Troy Bolton's." I laughed as Edward came and opened the door for me.
"Are you complaining?"
I shook my head, "No."
"Alright then. And you're like Gabriella... she doesn't have a car either."
"You don't know that."
"That she doesn't have a car?"
"Yeah."
"Well, you never see her with one... so. And she's always getting rides everywhere with Troy. Or her mom, in the case of the second movie."
"What are you saying? You don't like giving me rides, or something?" I tried to be humorous, like I was being, but for some reason, it didn't exactly come out that way.
"What? No. Bells, I love giving you rides. I was just making a point." He sounded defensive.
Just then, a horn honked, and we turned to see Alice and Jasper... or I should say Taylor and Chad.
"Hey Gabs." Alice said as she got out. For some reason, she wanted to be in character for the night. "Is our Shapray here yet?"
"Um, yeah. She texted me like ten minutes ago and said her and Emmett- Ryan were here." I had to correct myself because of the look she gave me. I didn't see the big deal.
"Okay. Let's go." She grabbed Jasper's hand and dragged him inside. She was more excited for a Halloween Dance than I imagine Taylor would be, but why crush her Halloween spirits?
"You ready?" Edward asked me.
"Yep." I took his hand and we walked in.

7:47
"Hey!" One of the student council member greeted us as we walked through the doors and to the little stand to pay for our ticket in. She was wearing a white shirt that had one of the sleeves pulled down a little, and it said "Made in the 80s" on it. Then she had black leggings on.
"Hi. Two, please." Edward said.
"Alright. And you are supposed to be... let me guess. Gabriella and Troy?"
I nodded, "Yep. How'd you know?" I joked.
"Taylor and Chad were here a few minutes ago. They said to watch for you."
I laughed, "Well, here we are."
"Sharpay and Ryan are here as well," Edward said.
"Really? I must have missed them." She said.
I laughed. "They've been here a while."
"I see."
"If you don't mind me asking," I said, "Were you actually born in the 80s?"
She laughed, "No. I was born in '91, but I thought it was cute."
"It's adorable." What? I thought it was.
"Thank you. Now, go have fun!"
I saluted her, "Yes ma'am."

How unoriginal some people were. Especially Freshman. I mean Cowgirls? Seriously?
Then, there were the people who didn't dress up at all. Those people annoyed me. There should be a rule: If you don't dress up, you don't get in.
Some costumes were done like in that one part of Mean Girls. Girls dressing like sluts with their short shorts and tank tops, then throwing on Devil or bunny, or cat, or whatever other kind of ears you put on.
There were you typical witches and vampires as well.
None of the costumes were that impressive.
I was currently watching the Costume Parade, where people would walk infront of the DJ booth and show off their costumes to everyone, then the students would pick a winner at the end.
Alice thought it would be fun to do it, but how could we compete with the person dressed as a box of KFC popcorn chicken? Which, by the way, did win.
I noticed Jake there. He just wore jeans and a shirt, but he had a collar loosely around his neck. I guess he was a dog. His girlfriend had cat ears.
I also noticed Lauren, Edward's ex. She had a new boyfriend, also a football player. His name was Tyler. She was wearing short jeans shorts, with Tyler's jersey on.
Which reminded me of something I had to ask Edward.
--
8:54
The song was I'll Be by Edwin McCain.
Edward and I were dancing, and I don't know why but I had to ask him. I don't know why it was so important, but it was. I figured I better do it now, because the music wasn't very loud.
"Edward?" I asked, my head on his shoulder.
"Hm?"
"I was wondering if Lauren ever gave you your jersey back?"
"What? I never gave her my jersey."
What? Hold up- I saw her wearing it.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?"
I shrugged, "Just wondering."
Why was he lying? Why didn't he want me to know about it? I thought he'd be smart enough to realize I'd have seen her wear it before.
I guess not.
"You know, this song makes me think of you, Bells."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Why is that?"
"You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above.
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life"
And apparently, my biggest fan is a liar.

"I'll be right back," I told Edward when the song was over.
"Okay."
I left and went to find Alice.
"Alice!" I shouted over the music, which was now Katy Perry's Hot 'N' Cold.
"What?"
"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure."
We walked out into the lobby, and Alice could sense something was wrong.
"Bella? Is something wrong?"
"Um, I don't know."
"Well, what do you need to talk about?"
I went right into it. "So, I saw Lauren and she was wearing Tyler's jersey, which made me wonder if she ever gave Edward his back. So, I asked him, and he said that he never gave it to her. But, I've seen her wearing it before."
"So... what did he say when you told him that?"
"I didn't."
"You didn't?"
"No."
"You didn't tell him you knew he was lying?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because, there must be a reason he's lying. Right?"
"Well, you can't just let him get away with it. Bella, it's not like this is a big deal or anything. I mean, it could be worse."
I shrugged, "I guess. It just annoyed me that he wasn't telling me the truth."
"I know. Do you want me to go get him?" Alice asked.
"Um, sure?"
"Okay."

9:06
"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward asked as he came out of the gym. "Alice said you needed me."
I shook my head, "Nothing's wrong."
"Then, why are you out here?"
"Edward. I need to tell you something."
"Okay."
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Lie to you? About what?"
"The jersey."
"What jersey?" Okay, seriously?
"Lauren's jersey. The one you didn't give her. Edward, I've seen her wear it before."
Edward just sighed, "It's complicated, Bella."
"Complicated how. It's a yes or no question."
"I know."
"So, tell me now. Did she give it back."
I was quiet for a moment, then said a quiet "Yes."
"And why couldn't you tell me that earlier?"
"Because. I don't know."
"Yes, you do. Now tell me!" I was getting seriously annoyed right now.
"Because. She just gave it back."
"What do you mean just. When is just?"
"Like, last week."
"Last week?"
"Yes. Last week."
I nodded slowly, as something dawned on me.
"Is that the real reason I just got your jersey?"
He sighed again, and nodded.
I let out a huff of breath, "So, you lied to be then too? What else have you lied about, Edward."
"Nothing! God, I wasn't even lying then. I really did just get it back from getting washed."
"So, your telling me, I got Lauren's seconds?"
"No." He went to grab my hand, but I didn't let him."Bella, that's not true."
"It's not. Did I not get the one she had first?"
"No, you did, but- what did you think you got?"
"I don't know. I thought you had more than two jerseys."
"Nope. Just two. And honestly, we're not even supposed to let other people wear them."
"Oh, so would you like it back or something. I mean, because you are like, the perfect student and wouldn't want this going on his record or anything!" Okay, that was a little harsh.
He just stared at me for a minute. "Bella, why is this such a big deal to you."
"Because, you lied to me, Edward."
"Bells-"
"No. Don't Bells me. We're done discussing this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to the dance."
"Wait!" He grabbed my hand as I pushed past him, to stop me,"Are you still mad?"
"Edward," I sighed, "You haven't even said sorry yet."
Then I walked back into the gym. Edward didn't follow me.
--
9:26
I still haven't seen Edward since. I don't think he's come back into the gym at all.
I was still mad at him, but I wanted to let him know it would be fine soon, but he's not around.
I heard the music cut off, and someone step up to the DJ booth to take the microphone.
It was the principle.
"I'm sorry to ruin the fun, but I have an announcement to make!" It got quiet. "Good. Now, as you all know, you guys have voted for best costume, but the staff have also voted. There were different categories and stuff. So, here's the winners."He announced best couple costume, most original, cutest, he said he had one more. "And our last one is bestlarge group costume. And the winners are...the cast of High School Musical!"Oh god.
Alice squeeled. "Come on!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me up to see the principal. I noticed Rose & Emmett behind me. Jasper and Edward weren't here though.
"Here we are!" Alice exclaimed.
"Okay, great." Mr. Parker said. "But, there's two missing. It says here there's supposed to be six of you."
"Oh, they're not here right now. They had something to do."
"Okay. Here's your prize. Be sure to give it to the two missing persons."
"We will." Alice smiled.
When we were back on the dance floor, I asked, "Alice? Where's Jasper and Edward."
"They left."
"They left?" Why would Edward leave? And not even tell me? I wasn't that mad.
"Yeah."
"But, where'd they go?"
"I'm not sure. Jazzy just said he went with Edward."
"But, where'd Edward go?"
"He didn't tell you?"
"No. He didn't even tell me he was leaving."
"Oh." Is all Alice said.
--
11:07
The last song had been played and the last dance had been danced, and I still hadn't heard from Edward. Not even a text message.
So, I texted him.
Where did you go? You never told me you were leaving.
I never got a reply.
Don't shoot me! Please! You should thank me. This was out wayyyyy sooner than I thought it would be. And I'm aiming for one more before I leave Wednesday :)
I even have chapter 12 all planned out in my head, and I already know it's name. Want me to tell you? Well, I'm not... but its another song by Coldplay. If you guess right I'll give you a shout out :)
Do you think that would be, like, a realistic fight. I have no idea, so let me know if she's being over dramatic or anything... haha.
Review, please. :)
