The Dance of Change- Chapter 14:

I, Paul Slater, am going to the school dance with Suze. That sounds good- no, that sounds stupid... I sound so dependant on this one night... It's like I'm totally lame... What has she done to me? Suck it up Slater, and quick, you're losing it fast.

I had been so into getting the girl lately that I had forgotten to live life. I had become dependant on Susannah Simon, she was all I thought about, all I talked about, all I dreamed about. She was everything to me. I realized that I needed to get a grip. I could not let a girl be my existence... after tonight, I will be my existence, I will be everything to me- and hopefully to her as well. Tonight is the night Slater, tonight is the night.

I put on my suit and tie, Armani- good stuff- I looked like a million dollars, and got into the limo I had rented- a hummer stretch, just for the two of us... we could play hide and seek, or tag if we wanted to. She was waiting at the end of her driveway, looking amazing in a black dress that fit her just right. I opened the door and helped her in, told her that she looked beautiful, then gave her a white rose. She blushed- like I said: Tonight is the night.

We talked a little on the ride over, discussed favorite things like movies and candy... other than that it was peaceful and silent... the calm before the storm. We heard the music as we drove up, hip-hop... interesting. As we walked in Adam, Suze's friend, ran over to us, a huge grin upon his face.

"Listen to that! Isn't it awesome!" He yelled above the pounding music. Nun's were running everywhere, frantically looking for the source of the music. "They'll never find where it's coming from, and if they do, they'll never suspect me!...Hehe, 'Princess Kelly Prescott of the land of Perfection' will be so shocked when they find all this noise coming from her locker!"

"You are so bad!" Suze said, smiling wickedly at him, "How long did it take you to rig all this up?"

"About an hour..." He said, "The music they were playing was so boring ...classical stuff..." He shrugged his shoulders. Well, if this is what she likes to get down to... I could go along. I asked her to dance, she accepted my offer. "Right Therr" was the song playing.

When we got to the dance floor I couldn't help thinking "tonight's the night", especially when Suze started to booty dance. What the hell got into her? She seemed so... innocent... well, kind of- in a I could beat you up in a second, and I'd look good doing it, type of way. She is a very good dancer, that is making itself very apparent.

Right as the song was coming to an end Adam came over, he held out his hand to Suze, "This is our dance" He said. She grabbed his hand as another song started to play, Suze started singing along, while dancing with Adam. He danced just as dirty as she did, together they were very interesting to watch, although I think the Nun's would have fainted if they saw them. The song was "The Wreckoning" by Boomkat and Suze and Adam seemed to know it very well... I started to have questions as to what type of relationship they were in as Cee Cee came to stand by Suze and Adam and said, "now it's time for all of us to dance!". "Shake Your Tailfeather" came on and the three of them started to dance, Suze grabbed me and helped me to learn the moves they were doing- that is hard stuff... but it's fun.

"How do you know how to do this stuff?" I asked Suze when we finally went to go get a drink.

"Me, Cee Cee, and Adam go to clubs a lot...well, once... it's really... fun!" She answered, that's when it hit me- she slurred her words... she was drunk. One kiss confirmed that guess.

"Suze?" I asked carefully. She looked at me with questioning eyes. "Are you alright?" I asked. She began to cry- well, sob was more like it. I ushered her back to the limo, which was waiting in the parking lot. After we were inside I told the driver to drive around a little. "What's wrong?" I asked Suze.

"I loved him!" She cried, "God help me I loved him!- Why do things like this always have to happen to me?"

I looked at her in a new light because of this confession. It shows that she is not as emotionless as she was acting earlier - tonight was not going to be the night... I have more pride than that. I told the driver to take us to Suze's house, she needed to be resting at home. At least there she wouldn't make a complete fool of herself.

I thought I'd switch it up a bit... it seemed kinda- boring to me... ~Chels
