I want to say thank you to those who reviewed.
Tara – I love the show One Tree Hill, but I did not copy the storyline. I wrote this story way before they even had spoilers for it. If you want, I can post up a link of where I first posted this story. You will see that I first posted this story in that link in November so it was just a coincidence that OTH had the same storyline way after I wrote it. I'm glad I'm able to clarify this for you. (
Ch. 17
One month later.
The homecoming dance was rapidly approaching. The ASB members and all the volunteers for the dance were busy finishing the last touches in the gym for tonight. Theresa and Fox of course were unable to avoid one another while they were working on the decorations for the dance. They just kept things strictly professional and civil, speaking to one another only when it was absolutely necessary. One would not have been able to tell that they were even friends at one point. But every once in a while, one would steal a glance at the other when the other person wasn't looking. Although both were tempted to talk to the other, they decided against it. When the decorations were finally complete, everyone went home to get ready for the dance.

Theresa and Michael walked into the elegantly decorated gym.
"Theresa, the place looks amazing. You did an amazing job transforming the gym into a ballroom," complimented Michael.
"Thanks," replied Theresa.
The soft, strategically placed lighting in the room created a romantic and welcoming atmosphere. Lovely black colored silk fabric that was donated by the Cranes was covering the walls. Glittering images of stars, planets and streams of curvy lines were added by Theresa's artistic talent. Balloons holding white fluffy materials created clouds above them.
"May I have this dance Ms. Lopez-fitzgerald," asked Michael, holding his hand out while bowing.
Theresa giggled at his gesture. "I would be honored," she said with a curtsy.
Michael led her to the dance floor. When they reached it, he wrapped his arms around her waist while she placed her arms on his shoulders. They swayed to the music. Theresa, enjoying the moment, forgot about Fox for the time being. Then someone bumped into her. Two pools of blue stared at her.
"Sorry," mumbled Fox and Theresa at the same time.
God did she look exquisite. She made everyone in the room look like they were dressed in rags. He took all of her in, looking at the beautiful crimson strapless red dress she wore that hugged her every curve. Her hair was gathered on top of her hair in curls and two loose curls framed her lovely face. She only wore a touch of make-up, which emphasizes her natural beauty. A simple heart shape necklace and a pair of matching earrings adorned her body. After realizing he was holding his breath, he finally took a breath and said, "You look beautiful Theresa."
Theresa was taken back by his genuine sincerity in his voice and the soft expression in his face. "Thanks."
"It's nice seeing you here Fox, but shouldn't you get back to your date?" asked Michael kindly. "She looks like she's about to burst from anger."
Only then did Theresa look to see who Fox escorted to the dance. It was none other than Terry. Here we go again thought Theresa. Wanting to escape the wrath of the wicked person, she began pulling Michael towards the refreshment table.
"I'm thirsty. Let's get some punch."
"That sounds good to me. Excuse us."
Fox looked longingly at Theresa while Terry's eyes burned with anger and hate.
