"Gosh I can't believe we have to do this" Cam grumbled as he linked hands with Kristen.
"Shut up, tonight's the night I'm going to finally become alpha, ruin it for me and I swear I'll ruin Claire faster than you can say Gucci" Kristen threatened at Layne, Derrick, Cam, and Sarah. They sighed there face glum as they walked through the long hallways leading to the ballroom that the dance was held.
"Okay guys put on a smile were walking in" Kristen ordered. Derrick pushed the heavy wooden door open as the rest walked in. All eyes were on them, Kristen smiled at the attention.
"Come on" she whispered to Cam, Sarah, Layne and Derrick. They followed her with a fake smile.
"Kristen you look so pretty",
"Kristen, love the dress",
"Kristen, you look good, I'm jealous".
These were the praises that Kristen was showered with as they made their way to the back of the room. Kristen smiled, oh how she loved the attention. The rest of the crew on the other hand was rolling their eyes and counting the seconds till they could leave.
"Cam let's dance" Kristen offered with a smile.
"NO" Cam replied his face marinated with disgust.
"Well then I guess Claire wouldn't mind when I reveal the picture" Kristen said lightly, Cam's face hardened.
"Fine," Cam hissed. He grabbed her hand roughly and led her to the dance floor. They started to dance to 100 Years by Five For Fighting.
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
and I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
"Why, Kristen, why can't you just leave Claire alone?" Cam asked, as he twirled her around. Kristen could feel the eyes that were on them, all wondering when Cam and Kristen ever started to go out.
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
"Because, I hate her, and if you want to save her from this you will cooperate" Kristen whispered harshly.
"I'll back off just answer one…no two questions for me" Cam commanded with pleading eyes. Kristen stared at him for a moment then answered;
"Fine"
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
"Okay, how did you get the picture, and why do you want to hurt Claire" He asked. He noticed that the others had join the dance floor with them.
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
"Well I've been planning this alpha thing for a long time, but when the bitch, Claire, came and tried to steal my throne I knew I had to do something, so asked her brother Todd, I made a deal with him for exchange for something…of course he agreed and gave me the picture." Kristen explained. Cam stared at her for a fraction of a second, but then closed his eyes, trying to keep his anger on check.
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
He opened his eyes ready to say something, but something caught his eyes. To be exact someone caught eyes, someone really beautiful… in a blue dress…with blond hair…she was so gorgeous.
"Cam, what are you look-"Kristen snarled, but she couldn't finish her sentence because of the people that just walked in. She looked around finding the stares of her schoolmates glued on them. She couldn't blame them; she had to admit they were so beautiful.
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
"Claire," Cam whispered adoration evident in his voice. His odd eyes glitter with love; Kristen was overwhelmed just standing next to him. There was a long pause; nobody said anything they just stared. Kristen felt Cam tensed; she looked around trying to find the source of his discomfort. She spotted it almost right away…she smiled 'This just makes everything easier'.
I recognized the song immediately 100 Years by Five For Fighting.
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Massie, Dylan, Dave, and I made our way through the crowd. My hands were linked with the devil himself. Stares followed us like annoying bees. We finally reached the back of the dance.
"Wow this place is packed," Dylan commented, nibbling on a delicious looking cup cake. 'When did she get that, we just got here' I thought to myself.
"Perfect, the plan is going good so far" Massie said with an evil glint in her eyes as she scanned the crowd, obviously looking for Kristen. Then out of nowhere she froze, her eyes widening, a gasp escaping from her lips.
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
I followed her eyes trying to figure out what caused her reaction, and I saw them. Sarah dancing with an unknown guy, Layne with Derrick (when did that happen?), and Cam with Kristen. My heart clenched with pain, jealousy, anger, sadness, and all these emotion sprang up. Why. Why. Why.
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I guess Dave noticed my discomfort because the next thing I know I was being pulled to the dance floor.
Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer, came on as we began to dance.
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
"You okay" Dave asked, I could see the concern in his eyes. I put on a fake smile, of course I was not okay, the love of my life was dancing with Kristen, my enemy, and all on top of that he hates me, and- even if we successfully destroy Kristen- he might not want me.
But instead I said "I'm fine"
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
"Okay…" He replied, almost reluctant to let the subject go.
"I'm fine really" I assured him, I hope he didn't hear the sadness that clouded my voice.
"So how have you been," Dave asked, I know he wanted to know what I've been up to ever since 'what happened'.
"Actually, I've been pretty good, I fell in love, I met knew friends, everything was perfect until you came" That wasn't a complete lie, even though things were bad even before he came, things just got worse when he came. Dave flinched from the biting words, I knew she hurt him but I really didn't care.
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
"Claire, let's just get this straight, I didn't mean, I mean, I dint want it to happen, the picture, it was not my intention" Dave said struggling to find the right words to explain. I looked in his eyes, and something told me he was telling the truth.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
"Claire, please believe me" He pleaded, I almost wanted to forgive him, but I just couldn't. My heart didn't want to, I just…couldn't. I stopped swaying, and paused and just looked at him. Why the sudden change, this was the reason I liked him back in Florida…but then all of a sudden he changed and then there was that whole scandal thing. But now, he just acted different.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
"Dave..." I started to say, but then I heard gasp all around me, I turned quickly to see what all the commotion was about... and I spotted them.
Their lips together, they pressed into each other molding against each other like a puzzle piece. My heart tightened, and the tears I sweared not to shed, came pouring out, and then they pulled apart. And -as if he knew I was looking at them- his eyes darted to me. I put my hand over my mouth to try to suppress the sobs that were about to escape. I couldn't take it anymore; I separated from Dave and ran out the ball room. The last thing I heard was the soft intone of Leigh Nash
So Kiss Me
A/N: Okay, I know I took too long but it's not my fault, my original chapters were deleted because somebody sent me a virus on my mail….so I had to get another laptop (caused they couldn't fix the problem) and restart typing. But here it is…
What I thought of the chapter
I wonder what Kristen gave Todd (is that Claire's brothers name, I haven't read clique in a long time so I hardly remember) for the picture. (Don't you guys hate Todd in the books, I know I do. lol)
Dave was kind of nice in this chapter.
I love those songs in the chapter, it's recommended to read and listen to it…caused I wrote it while listening to those songs.
(I promise the next chapter all secrets will unfold. (estimated 2 more chapters left whoohooo).
I hope you like it it's exactly 6 pages (I typed 18 pages but that's too long so I cut it in three.) I update after I get feedback… I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Two more chapters (and maybe an epilogue) before the end of the story….tell me what you guys want to happen in the next two chappy and I'll try to make it happen. (AND NO OUTRAGOUS IDEAS, LIKE Claire GET SUPER POWERS, OR ANYTHING.)
Love you guys…Read and Review.
BEWARE!!! REVIEW OR EVIL BUNNIES WILL EAT YOUR UNDERPANTS.
Remember you keep reading, and I'll keep writing.
Bye for now
You know you love me
Xoxo
