Sorry for the long wait you guys. I just watched "Saw" and um… yeah I had to calm down for a few days. That movie is so gruesome!
It took me a looong time to edit this without changing everything. And since you've waited patiently, I've got a present for the next logged in reader who reviews. You can put anything you want in the reviews. You can even put "HerpDerp" as a review if you want to. The prize is a link to one of the awesomest animes of all time!
And if you don't want to partake of the anime contest, I can give you the link to one of the best teenage romantic comedies of 2008!
Chapter 18
Dan's POV
I paced around the room, thinking of something to wear. I mean, why can't I come in my underwear? There's no law against that! Don't look at me like that! One time I walked into a restaurant, and get this: No shoes, no shirt and I still got service! Okay, it was a beach shack but that means something! Right?
I walked out of my room still in my underwear and t-shirt and knocked the door to Amy's room. While I was waiting for Amy to answer the door, Natalie walked by.
"Eeew! Daniel go put something on!" she yelled. I could've sworn I saw a tinge of pink on her cheeks. Probably makeup. She'll never fall for me the way I fell for her.
"Why," I said with a smirk, "You like what you see?"
Natalie rolled her eyes and stomped downstairs while muttering to herself, "Yeah right."
Then Amy finally opened the door in her bathrobe. "What do you want?"
"I need help coming up with something to wear for formal." I whined.
She smirked. "Are you serious?"
"It's not fun-NY, Amy." What the heck was wrong with my throat? It was probably the calamari I brought home from spying on Amy and Evan for Ian. Or it was the lemonade I drank. It tasted like piss. Yeah, it was lemonade.
She stood there and thought for a moment and then she agreed.
Amy went back in her room and took a bunch of dresses that were lying on her bed. We then walked to my room.
"Wow, Dan. This is probably the first time you had a clean room ever since you've had your own." Amy said. I would've said something if it wasn't true.
I didn't say anything. I couldn't trust myself to. I'll squeak again and people will probably start laughing at me.
"Here, try these on." Amy said while handing me a pile of clothes from my closet.
"If you don't like my choices, you can go ask Natalie."
"I'm good!" I yelled before Amy walked out of the room to give me privacy.
-Oooh! What a beautiful page break! Forget this. Stacy's POV below! -
Stacy's POV
I was at home trying to decide what to wear to formal. I was happy the principal didn't ban me from formal because I broke Logan's nose. The jerk deserved it.
I heard a knock at my door. I opened the door to see Janicka standing there. "Mom says there's a Family Meeting in the Living Room right now." she told me. I quickly grabbed my bathrobe, put it on and hurried downstairs along with Janicka. If you lived with my mom, you'd know not to resist her orders for family meetings.
"Okay. Now that I have you all here, there is something I want to say." my mom started. She took a deep breath in and out. My siblings and I exchanged looks. If she's breathing deeply, she's either:
A) Pregnant
B) Has something really important to tell us
Or C) is doing the countdown in her head before she kills one of us.
Usually its C. I used to have a twin. Just Kidding!
"Now that that's over with, I've got a specia -"
BA-DA BING!
BA-DA BING! BA-DA BING!
IT'S YOUR CELL PHONE RINGIN'
BA- DA BING!
BA-DA …
I told Dawn she had to change her annoying ringtone. Oh and in case you didn't know, that's Dawn's cell phone ringing.
"Hey, Sophia! Nah, nothing. Morgan's just giving us a another beauty queen speech." Dawn said into the phone. She twirled her brown hair around her finger and laughed.
"I mean they are totally implants! They don't bounce at all!" Dawn said exasperatedly. Oliver and I snickered.
Dawn is the only one in the family who calls my mom Morgan, besides my dad and his parents. And my mom's name isn't even Morgan. It's a nickname. Her real name is Geneviève. We could never pronounce it so we called her Morgan instead. Well, Dawn calls her Morgan more often than we do. It's very complicated.
Morgan cleared her throat. "Ahem. Hello? Earth to Dawn? Yeah, the last time I checked, I was giving a talk to the family. I suggest you tell your friend to hang up and let me talk."
Dawn grinned sheepishly and told Sophia goodbye.
And then, Mom dropped the bomb. "Now. Here goes, we're moving to Denver."
And when she dropped the bomb, we dropped our jaws.
"Wait. We're what?!" I asked.
"We're moving. We're in unspeakable danger. They've found us…" she said solemnly.
"When are we moving? Where's Denver? Is it in France?" Janicka asked. At least someone was happy about this.
"In 3 months' time. I'm sorry you guys, but this is for our safety." she said.
"Mom, why would you do this to us?" Dawn asked.
"Did you think I wanted it to be like this? The freaking Vespers are coming for us and you guys aren't the least bit concerned about your safety?!" my mom exclaimed.
"Who are the Vespers and why does it have to be like this? Why us?" Oliver asked.
"Stacy, tonight, ask your boyfriend about the Vespers." she said.
"What does Dan have anything to do with-" she cut me off.
"Do you want to know or not?" she asked incredously. I nodded then she gave me a look that meant, 'Do it.'
I feel like I'm part of a mob or something.
-Ah...Girl look at this page break...-
Amy's POV
After we finished getting ready, we drove to the school. We found a parking spot and walked into the gym, where they were hosting the formal. It was beautiful! It had flowers and junk everywhere and music pounding through speakers.
Wham Bam! Here I am! Goddess of the glitter and Glam!
Yes, catch a breath
Caught ya eatin' outta my hand
Wow! Check me out!
Now I'm here, the party is on...
"This song reminds me of Lollipop Chainsaw." Dan said. Him and his stupid gaming addiction.
"Wanna dance?" Stacy asked.
Dan nodded and Stacy dragged him out to the crowded dance floor.
"Hey Evan! Grover dunked my chicken nuggets in the toilet!" this one guy said to hair was all messy and out of place.
"Relax Jacob. Why do you look so jacked up?" Evan asked him.
"Oh. I sort of shoved my cousin out the window." Jacob said.
"Why did you do that?" Evan asked incredulously.
"Because she was ugly and she was pissing me off." Jacob said. He then winked at me and walked to the punch bowl. Jerk.
"Amy, you want some punch?" Evan asked me.
"Actually, I want to talk." I told him. I took him outside to the outside of the school. There were tables with candles and flowers on them, for people who just wanted alone time.
We sat down at a table with red carnations. I held his hand across the table.

Ian's POV
I remember the little "chat" I had with Tolliver before he left with Amy. He refused to wear the microphone again. I threatened him and he threatened me back. God, I hate that guy! But the last sentence really bothered me.
I got ready to go to the formal. There is no way that he can get away with this. I got into the car, with my plan already forming in my head.
Along with the plan, the last sentence Evan said was also going on replay in my head.
"Maybe I liked kissing Sinead...Maybe I liked kissing Sinead...Maybe I liked kissing Sinead..." I'm going to make him pay for cheating on my true love. Soon. Very soon.
-Back at the formal-
Evan's POV
Maybe I shouldn't have said what I said to Ian. That was a big mistake right there. I was just really mad and junk.
"Evan. Don't lie to me, is there something going on? Like, are you cheating on me?" Amy asked me. My stomach got a sick feeling in it.
"Amy, I don't want to talk about it okay?"
"But Evan-"
"Nope. This is going to be an amazing night. Lets not ask any questions that will ruin tonight. M'kay?" Yeah, I can be smooth sometimes. But I think the "M'kay" ruined everything.
The songs I used for this chapter are:
The Ba-Da Bing ringtone (Don't know who its by)
Wham Bam by Clooney
Chick Flick Below. Thats the link but type it in without the spaces. WARNING: Most scenes are pretty inappropriate for children who don't know about sex.
