I'm sorry everyone for not answering your reviews. I haven't been reading any reviews from since my eighth chapter. When I went into my mailbox I had over twenty reviews that made me so happy. I'm even more inspired to write so I want to spread my gratitude to all my reviewers. Thank You All! Oh and for that I'll postpone my new story and keep updating this one.

My Heart Belongs To You
Chapter XI- Winter Festival Pt. One
Mimi's P.O.V
It was the day of the Winter Festival, which was the main topic at school. Everyone was talking about there dates and how there dresses would look. Sora and Tai as usual were talking and making lovey-dovey faces at each other.
Amanda's stomach was forming into a small lump and people were starting to notice. Amanda was sitting in her usual seat in the classroom staring out into the abyss while people were snickering and glancing her.
I felt a little bit of sympathy for her but only a little bit. All I could think about right now was who my blind date is going to be and the kiss Matt and I shared a couple of days ago. Just thinking about it made me blush.
"Hey Amanda, are you sure I'm the one getting fat" snickered a corpulent girl in front of her.
"Yea look at her she's enormous. Do you think she's pregnant" whispered two girls sitting next to me.
"Yea I bet she is, what a whore." The other girl whispered back.
Amanda looked pissed and got up. The snickering stopped as everyone watched her. I was also watching her from the corner of my eyes. She started mumbling something over and over until she finally screamed it.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP"
"Young lady watch your language" the teacher chastised Amanda.
"I don't have to listen to you, I'm leaving" Amanda stormed out the classroom.
Mrs. Genjaki looked dumbfounded as Amanda walked out the class. Soon she retorted "Detention!" but all she heard was the door slamming in her face.
"Slut!" a girl yelled at the slammed door.
"There go those hormones" Tai snickered to Sora.

After homeroom I went into the bathroom to check my makeup. I looked in the mirror and saw that my makeup was perfect as always. I was walking out but I heard someone sobbing in one of the stalls.
I figured it was just another girl that broke up with there boyfriends. I kept walking until I heard the stall open up and someone gasp. I turned around and saw Amanda trying to hide and fix her makeup. I looked at her and rolled my eyes.
"What was with that big scene in homeroom a couple of minutes ago?"
"Leave me alone Mimi. I don't have time for this shit right now. You should be happy you don't have people talking about you behind your back."
"Get over it. People talk behind my back all the time saying it's not fair that I can have any boy I want"
Amanda huffed at this comment "Whatever Mimi you still can't have Matt"
"You know what I'm not even going to start with that argument again. So get over your self and move on with life. Yea you're your pregnant but that won't change. Stop moping around, having a baby should be a blessing"
"Wow when did you became a preacher" Amanda chuckled while wiping away some tears.
"Whatever Amanda I just felt sorry for you. This won't change anything between us though" I smirked.
"Well of course this doesn't, but if you tell anyone you saw me crying I'll kill you" Amanda smirked back.
"Not if I kill you first" I mumbled while walking out the bathroom. I turned around and went back into the bathroom "By the way Mrs. Genjaki gave you after school detention which you have to report to on Monday"
"Does that old hag really think I'm going to show up, she must be mistaken because this is Amanda Cortez she is talking about. I don't do detention" Amanda huffed.
I chuckled at that comment and walked out the bathroom again. As I was walking down the hallway I began thinking what the hell am I doing trying to cheer up Amanda. It gave me chills just thinking about being her friend.

School was finally over and I had four hours to spare before the dance started. I decided to go to the park. This was my first time going back there ever since the incident last time I went. This time I decided to drive there instead of walking.
-
As soon as I stepped outside my car I was hit by a gust of cold air. All the trees were dead and the breeze was blowing badly. There were a couple of people here but not as much as it would be on a summer day.
I walked around the playground slowly thinking about the dance. I was thinking about my blind date. Hopefully he wasn't some perverted freak from school but for some reason I could feel that he wasn't.
I was walking down the sidewalk, which was slippery from the ice. For some unknown reason it wouldn't snow, which was kind of weird knowing it was in the early December. The lake was frozen in the park, but not solid enough to skate on.
I heard a car pull up next to me. That made me stop suddenly, I was a little frightened. Then I heard the window roll down. My mind was racing and telling me to run but it seemed like my legs stopped working.
"Mimi?" the person said from inside there car.
I looked over and saw Matt. He was smiling warmly at me, which made my heart flutter.
He drove into the parking lot to park his car. Soon he came up to me with a confused look.
"What are you doing here; it's like negative five degrees?"
"I just wanted some fresh air before the dance"
"Need some company" he offered.
"Well that's if you don't mind walking through the cold" I smirked.
"I walked through the rain before the cold couldn't hurt. Anyways I get to spend time with you" Matt began to blush.
I didn't say anything. We were walking in silence. There was a thick tension in the air but we kept walking enjoying each others company, until Matt finally broke the silence.
"Um do you want to go down to the lake" he asked.
"Well I guess but don't you have to prepare for the dance. Didn't you say your band was performing there?" I questioned.
"Yes but we practiced all yesterday so we could have a break today." He reassured me.
We finally made it to the lake. I took a seat in front of it and Matt also joined me.
"So what are you going to do when the baby arrives" I questioned him not taking my gaze off the lake.
Matt shuddered at my question and shifted a little.
"I ….I have no idea" He began "I can't support it. I barely even have a job I might have to quit the band just to get one. When Amanda's parents found out she was pregnant they were mad. They shunned her and called her a disgrace but soon they got over it and decided to help her through it"
I looked up and saw Matt looking frustrated. He suddenly stopped and started to smile.
Now I became curious.
"What's so funny" I asked.
"Nothing….I was just thinking how our lives would be if we never went to that party" Matt chuckled "We'd probably still be together"
I was a little surprised hearing him say that. This is probably the first actual conversation we had from since I came out the hospital.
"Matt tell me this…" I began. This was on my mind all day "Why did you kiss me the other day?"
"I wanted to make you stop crying, and show you my affections. I'm still in love with you and I don't care if you hate me or never want to speak to me because I will always love you" Matt was staring deep into my eyes saying this. It was like he could see right through me.
"Matt I…..I still love you. But…..I can't your not mines anymore and I can't ask you to abandon Amanda and your child" I felt my eyes becoming teary. Matt kept staring at me with loving eyes. I felt naked under his gaze because he was the only person that was able to see the real me.
I slowly leaned in until I felt our lips touch. It was a gentle and warm kiss that I would never forget. I slowly released him and stood up.
"I think I should be leaving now. I have a hair appointment in a couple of minutes. Also the dance starts in three hours and it's getting colder" I told him then walked away.
My stomach was twisting with sorrow. I didn't want to leave him alone, but I had to or I would lose myself to him again.

I just came back from the salon and manicurist. I only had one hour before the dance just enough time. I quickly dashed into the shower and came out in twenty minutes. I went to my mirror and put on mascara, blush, green eye shadow, and a light green lip stick.
I was satisfied with my make-up and so I went into my closet to get my dress. My dress was the same green as my mask. It was silk and had no sleeves but poofed out at the bottom part of the dress. At the top of it there was silver glitter running all over it with weird teardrop designs on it.
I slid into the dress and put on the green scarf that came with it. All that was left was my shoes. I put on my new heels that were green with silver gems on it. I walked out my room getting ready to leave but I went back to get my mask and then slid it on over my eyes. Finally my out fit was finished. I looked at the clock and I was twenty minutes late.
I quickly modeled my dress for my parents then gave them a kiss goodbye. Soon I took off in my car to the dance.

When I arrived outside there were people lingering all over. I went inside to see that the room was dim with colorful lights swaying in the room. The music was loud and booming. And a whole bunch of people with all sorts of masks on were dancing.
I didn't know what to do so I walked over to a vacant table. I sat there nodding my head to the music until I decided to go onto the dance floor. I began dancing solo with my mind lost within the music.
Someone came behind me and started to dance with me. He was a fabulous dancer, and he was actually keeping up with my movements. The song soon finished and I was left wondering who the guy I just danced with was.
A slow song started to play and he took my hand and placed it in his. Then he put his arm around my waist and began to lead. I was very curious who this person was now. We danced for what seemed like an eternity.
Not once did he speak, all he did was stare at my mask probably wondering who was this mystery person he was dancing with. I stopped dancing and he looked at me curiously and smiling. I slowly slid my hand up to his face and slid off his mask.
I was stunned to see his face. It was ….Matt. He grinned at me then slid off my mask. He was still smiling as if he already knew it was me.
"As I suspected" Matt smirked.
"How did you know it was me" I gasped.
"I could smell an intoxicating scent of jasmines on you"
I blushed then hurriedly pulled my mask back on "I….I got to go" I stuttered then started to saunter off.
"By the way, you look very beautiful tonight" He smirked.

I walked back over to my table and sat down. Matt was also heading towards the table.
"Hey Matt have you seen Sora or Tai around"
"Yea they're right over there" Matt pointed to the table across the room.
"Ugh…you knew where they were all this time and have me sitting here all alone looking like a loser who couldn't get a date" I growled.
I got up and hauled Matt along with me to there table.

Sora's P.O.V
"Tai do you think Mimi will find us with our mask on"
"Of course she will I mean all our mask do is cover up our eyes. Even I could find you" Tai reasoned "Wait…… that didn't come out right."
I began to chuckle at Tai's denseness. I looked around once again and saw a girl pulling a guy towards our table. I knew that had to be Mimi.
"Hey guys" Mimi chirped then sat down.
"Hey Mimi how's it going" Tai smiled at her.
Mimi looked at Tai then gasped and started to gape at him, "Tai you actually brushed your hair!"
"I had to. Sora said she wasn't going to go to the dance with me if I didn't do something to it" he rolled his eyes.
"Well it looks a lot better then that bush you had on the top of your head" I retorted. Everyone began to laugh except Tai who poke his tongue out at me.
I looked over at Matt and saw him taking glances at Mimi then quickly looked away when she noticed him staring. A guy came up behind Mimi and gave everyone a signal for us not to blow his cover.
He was about six feet and had a nice body. His mask covered up his whole face but I figured he was handsome. He placed his hands over Mimi's mask and Mimi flinched. I watched him lean over and whisper something in her ear.
He took his hands off of Mimi's mask and she quickly turned around to look at him. The mystery guy held out his hand and Mimi took it then they both walked off to the dance floor.
I looked at Matt and saw him staring at them as they walked off. He turned back to the table with a gloomy face. I knew he still loves Mimi and I felt bad for him but he kind of deserves being abandoned by her.
Tai grabbed my hand and dragged me onto the dance floor. I felt guilty leaving Matt all by him self at the table until I saw a girl walk over to talk to him.
Matt's P.O.V
I was at the table alone staring at Mimi and her date from a distance. I felt like a stalker doing this but I couldn't help it, she looked so damn beautiful tonight. The lights illuminated her soft porcelain skin and gave her a forbidden look.
It was like seeing an angel living in the mortal world. How I longed to embrace her in my arms again and never let go. She was twirling and swaying with the music. I broke out of my trance when a girl walked in front of me.
The girl was wearing a lavender dress and her long ebony hair was down. I knew it had to be Amanda which could be told from the lump in the mid section of her dress. Seeing her reminded me of my betrayal and mistake in life.
She looked at me then gave me a smile. I didn't smile back I gave her a nod then looked at Mimi again.
"Matt, were you trying to hide from me" Amanda smirked.
"Yes" I mumbled
"What was that I couldn't hear you?"
"Um….I said no I was actually looking for you" I lied
"Well that's good" she sat down next to me "Would you like to dance?" Amanda offered.
"No" I said harshly. I was lying again. I did want to dance but not with her. I looked over at her and saw her eyes turning watery.
"You don't want to dance with me, it's because I'm fat. Well the only reason I'm fat is because I'm carrying your baby" Amanda blamed me.
"No that's not the reason….I….uh" I reassured her "Fine I'll dance with you" I sighed.
Amanda wiped off her tears and pulled me onto the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around me then put her head on my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and began to slow dance. For some reason I think she was fake crying.
Mimi's P.O.V
I was busy talking to Sora until I felt someone's hands go over my mask. I tensed up from the sudden contact. The person leaned down and whispered:
"So we finally meet in person. You look even more stunning tonight, Mimi. Would you like to dance?"
The voice sounded a little familiar like someone I used to know years ago. I nodded yes and he escorted me onto the dance floor. Behind my back I gave Sora a thumbs up.
We began dancing. I couldn't see his face because his mask was covering up it up. He was a good dancer but not as good as Matt. Speaking of Matt I looked at the table seeing Sora and Tai missing and Matt staring at me. I blushed and looked away.
The song soon converted to a slow one and the mystery guy dragged me closer and held me tight. I looked up and saw him smiling at me then I returned a weak smile back. I looked back to the table and saw Matt gone. I looked around and saw him dancing with a girl.
I ignored this and went back to paying attention to my date. I smiled at him and placed my head on his shoulder. I kept wondering who this person was. I picked my head up and tried to take off his mask but he quickly stopped me and whispered:
"The time isn't right yet. You'll soon see my identity but not yet"
I became a little annoyed with this game but I gave him a nod of understanding. This still didn't feel right, us dancing together. It felt like I was making a mistake.
