~~I have wasted about.~
Chloe checked her watch.
~~ three hours. I have wasted three hours of my life. ~
Chloe looked around the crowded gym in search of Clark or Pete. ~~ Pete probably took off with his date earlier. God only knows WHAT those two could be doing.. ~
Chloe took advantage of this time by herself to examine her appearance. Her hair was done as it usually was, only now more shiny due to a quick whish of glitter hair spray. Her nails were painted to match her dress, whatever color it was. With the light and the fact that when she had bought it she had been just as desperate as her mother to get out of the store and away from that crazy saleslady.
Again Chloe searched the room, going over in her mind again why she was there.
~~ He promised. And I have nothing else to do on a Friday night except maybe eat half a gallon of ice cream and take a bubble bath. Or I could be putting the final touches on the torch.~
"Chloe."
"Hey Mr. William. I was wondering if I could come in tomorrow and get some work done on the paper."
"Of course." He said handing her the key to the newspaper/journalism room.
"Be careful." he said quietly eyeing her. "No one is around during the weekends, you'll probably be the only one here."
"Thanks." Chloe called out as she watched him walk away. Mr. William was an odd man, who seemed to talk more so to Chloe than any of his other students.
~~ Probably just a lonely guy. I know he isn't married or divorced or anything. God, I'd kill myself before I ended up like him.~
Chloe then saw Clark dancing to a slow song with Lana. They talked to each other for a little while; she nodded her head, smiled, and tossed back her long dark hair.
~~ What is it about her anyway? She's pretty, nice, and.that's it!! There isn't a lot to her; she was a cheerleader, than a waitress, now she is.well, not that much. ~
Chloe instantly felt guilty. Lana had never done anything mean to her, or anyone else for that matter. She was as nice as a nun.
Chloe started laughing out loud after she pictured Lana in a nun outfit, and dancing with Clark.
It had been one of those moments when it seemed as the whole world had gone silent and then someone said or did something really stupid and everyone heard.
That's how it was with the laughing.
Chloe's laugh grew even louder and more uncontrollable. Her thoughts went to someone calling miss cheerleading captain "Sister Lana".
Everyone was already staring at her, but after that thought she snorted and kind of collapsed to the ground. People continued to look at her like she should be in a straight jacket until a fast song started and all the high schooler's short attention spans were directed to another device of entertainment.
~~ Oh my god.that was so.embarrassing.as least I got a good laugh out of it. ~
****
~~ The dance ends in.oh.five minutes. ~~
In the three hours of the dance, Chloe had embarrassed herself, danced to a couple of fast songs with some girls in her English class, nearly ruined her dress by almost spilling punch all over it, and been asked to dance by three different guys: on worked on the paper with her, the other two she didn't know.
None of them had been Clark.
~~ It isn't even that big of a deal. So he broke his promise to me. Promises are overrated. My mother would always say, "I can't promise you anything." I don't know if that was because she didn't want to break a promise to me or always make me feel insecure. ~
With her back to the bleachers and her head facing the dance floor, Chloe searched the room for Clark for maybe the billionth time that night.
She couldn't see the guy walking towards her from behind.
Clark had turned down an offer from Lana for "just one more dance", but he realized that there would only be one more song played and then he spotted Chloe.
She kept her eyes forward and did not feel any eyes on her.
Her mind was deep in focus to find Clark when she felt warm breath in her ear and heard a familiar male voice say, "Boo."
"HOLY SHIT!!" Chloe cursed as she jumped nearly a foot off the ground. She turned around and saw Clark laughing, then trying no to laugh when he saw her glaring at him.
"Sorry." He said with sincerity.
Clark then offered her his hand and said, " Would you like to dance?"
****
The next few minutes seemed to blur in Chloe's mind. Afterwards she had trouble remembering what had actual happened and what she had dreamt about more than once.
The only thing she could really be sure of was that warmth and safety she felt in Clark's arms as the music played. In that few minutes, it seemed as if everything her and Clark had had in the past years was all eased into a moment; a moment Chloe had all imaged having with Clark, but never thought it could actual happen.
Although she felt nothing and everything in that few minutes, she tried her best not to think. She simply absorbed the moment and everything about it.
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause its standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be you hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly deeply do
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
