Thank you to Swimmerkitti, guess who, and Sienna. Sorry guess who and Swimmerkitti, but Sienna won!! Katie was thinking about Zack.

Chapter 7: The Formal Part 1

Katie slipped on her midnight blue dress and looked in the mirror. She wore matching midnight blue, open toed, high heels, her normally straight hair was curled, and she had a silk shall to finish off the look. Lindsay and her friend, Sienna, walked into the black and white palace that was Katie's room.

"Kate, you look stunning!" Lindsay sat down beside her sister

"Yeah, Katie you look great." Sienna sat down next to Lindsay.

"Thanks." Katie said as she modeled the gown for the two girls. Ding Dong. Katie's heart jumped. Freddy was here, it was time for the formal, and this was her chance to impress Zack. She had been to anxious and excited to eat anything that day. Freddy and her were only going to the formal as friends anyway, so it didn't matter if she was trying to impress Zack instead of Freddy. Right? Katie's thoughts were interrupted by her mother calling her.

"Katie! Freddy is here!" Fiona called up the stairs. Katie gracefully strolled down the stairs.

"Hey, Freddy." Katie smiled. Freddy's eyes were glued to Katie. She looked magnificent.

"H-Hey Katie. You look great." Freddy handed her a white corsage.

"Thanks, Spaz. You don't too shabby yourself." Katie had to admit Freddy cleaned up well.

"Okay! Time for pictures!!" Fiona held her camera up.

"Mom....." Katie started

"Smile!" Katie put her arm around Freddy and smiled for the picture. Katie and Freddy started to walk out the door, but were stopped by Katie's mother again.

"Wait! One more!" Freddy and Katie smiled for another picture and left. A silver Mercedes waited for them outside. Katie stopped and stared. He brought a Mercedes? That was so sweet!

"I know, it's on limo. I hope this will do though." Freddy shrugged

"No! No! It's great!" Katie continued walking towards the car.

"Here you go, Madame." Freddy opened the door of the car.

"Thank you." Katie said as she slid into the backseat. Freddy said something to the driver, who was his dad, and then slipped in beside Katie. The rest of the ride to the formal was silent, except for the horrid elevator music that filled the car.

"Here you go." Freddy's dad said as the car came to a halt. Katie and Freddy stepped out of the car, waved to Mr. Jones, (A/N By the way, I love that song. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about Mr. Jones by Counting Crows, on the CD August and Everything After. Listen to it!) and walked inside. The two found Dewey and the rest of the band setting up for the formal.

"Are you ready to create some musical fusion?" Dewey screamed

"YEAH!" the band shouted in unison

"Okay, the formal starts in 11 minutes. Are we all set up?" Summer paced back and forth across the gym floor. She wore an off-the-shoulder, black, satin, long gown, with black high heels, and the black bun at the top of her head completed the sleek look.

"Yep, everything is all good to go." Marco said with a nod

"Good. Eleni, Michelle, go get the souvenir booth ready." Summer demanded. Eleni and Michelle headed towards the booth. "Now, Gordon, Marco, to the light booth." Gordon and Marco left to go the light booth.

"Miss Hathaway! Miss Hathaway!" Mrs. Woods, the principal ran over to Summer. "You should start playing, there are about 30 students outside waiting to come in, and we can't keep them out there forever."

"Okay, Mrs. Woods. Go ahead and let them in, we're ready." Summer nodded at the principal and ordered for everyone to go to their places.

............................................................................................

The band had just finished their first set, and the stereo was now playing. The young musicians had played Hard Candy, by Counting Crows, Substitute, by The Who, Disease, by Matchbox 20, Iris, by the Goo-Goo Dolls, and Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin. They had been a hit so far. Yesterday came on over the speakers. This was Katie's chance! She could ask Zack to dance with her! She walked over to Zack and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Wanna dance?" Katie asked with an embarrassed smile

"Sure. I'm not here with anyone anyway." Zack said as he put his arms on Katie's waist. Katie's heart melted, this was perfect.

...................Katie POV...........................................

OMG!! Zack is dancing with me!! I'm a little dizzy but that's probably just from all of the excitement. This is wonderful! Oh wait there's Freddy, he looks so sad. I wonder why....Whoa...look at all of those black dots....................
