Chapter Two

-At Ashley's house, Craig struggles with his tuxedo as Ashley sprays perfume onto him-

"Craig this is so beautiful" Ashley said looking at the black corset. She put it on her wrist and sprayed Craig with the perfume. Craig buttoned up his tuxedo and turned around to look at Ashley. "How do I look?" He asked. "You look great" Ashley said spraying him once more with the spray. "Why do you continue to spray me with that?" Craig said laughing a bit. "In order to win this competition, you have to smell nice" Ashley smiled and sprayed him again. "Ash!" Craig yelled while smiling.

"Sorry…I just needed one more!" She put her bottle up. "Besides, we are going to rock this dance" Ashley smiled and kissed his cheek lightly. "But, let's go!" "Ashley?" Craig asked as Ashley turned around and looked at Craig. "Yes?" She answered. "Did you and…um…Never mind…We'll be late" Craig decided not ask about Sean and Ashley, he didn't want to upset her.

Ashley smiled and raised her black dress over her knees and walked out of the room. Ashley walked down the stairs with Craig following her. "Goodbye mom" Ashley said grabbing Craig's hand and going to the door, twisting the knob and opening it. "Have --" Ashley's mom started before the door slammed shut. "Fun" she finished after her daughter and boyfriend exited the house. Ashley's mom shrugged and smiled while lying down on the couch and started to read the news paper again.

Ashley and Craig stood outside. Craig looked at Ashley; she seemed to be looking into the streets. "Why are we waiting?" Craig asked her as she turned around to look at him. "Were waiting for Sean" Ashley says as Craig's smile turn into an angry frown as soon as the name Sean entered Craig's ear. "What? We are not riding in a car with Sean!" Craig completely freaked out on Ashley when she said that. "What do you have against Sean all of a sudden?" Ashley said with a serious look on her face.

"That's not the point! I'm not riding with him!" Craig said angrily once again. Ashley eye's slowly formed tears as she looked at Craig, He looked into her eye's seeing her tears. He sighed and hugged her. "I'm sorry ash. I kind of got in a fight with Sean earlier today" Craig kissed her forehead. She looked up at him. "We don't have to go if you don't want to Craig, We can stay here if you want" Ashley got on the tips of her toes and kissed Craig's lips tenderly.

He kissed her back and soon a horn sounded. Ashley broke away and looked over at the black limo on the street. Ashley looked back at Craig and raised her eyebrows as a 'are we going' look. Craig nodded and Ashley just smiled. Craig started walking first to get to the limo. She followed behind him, watching him she still had that enduring question in her head, why didn't Craig want to ride in the van with Sean. Craig stopped in front of the limo. "To your carriage me lady" Craig smiled and opened the back limo door and peered inside.

Sean's brother was at the wheel, apparently, the limo was rented so then there would be a round couch to rest on and little snacks inside. Sean was sitting at the black fold up dinner table that was placed inside the limo. Craig just looked at him, he didn't say a word. "Thank you kind sir" Ashley said to Craig while smiling. Craig smiled back as Ashley, trying hard to keep that smile when Sean greeted Ashley.

"Ashley! Hey, you look beautiful" Sean said while walking up to her and hugging her, his hands rubbing her lower back. Both Ashley and Craig wore formalwear; Ashley wore a black dress with spaghetti strings and black gloves. It had a pink beaded flower and a blue flower with the stems wrapped around each other. She wore her hair in spiral curls and a blue flower in her hair; Craig wore a black tuxedo with a napkin looking thing in the chest pocket. But Sean wore a shirt with a tuxedo print on it and a pair of jeans.

Craig's smile shrunk a little as he inched closer, trying to hold in his anger. Ashley let Sean go and looked at Craig; his smile seemed different when she looked at him. She walked closer to him and hugged him. "Hey, bro! We've got to go! C'mon!" Sean said as his older brother looked back at them and nodded then sped off. "So Ash, since I didn't have a date, I had to give this to someone so…Here…" Sean said pulling out a box with a black, pink, and blue corset inside it.

"Sean! You didn't have to!" Ashley smiled and opened it up. "Yeah, you didn't have to, because she already has one" Craig said taking the box and handing it to Sean. "I can keep them both, they both are beautiful. Ashley smiled again and took the corset out of the box and put it on. Sean smiled at Ashley then looked at Craig who looked out of the window angrily. "We're here!" Sean's brother said and unlocked their doors.

Craig quickly hopped out and held the door open for Ashley but she went out on the other side where Sean was holding the door open for her. Craig bit his lip to keep his mouth shut so he won't say anything. Ashley had her hand out as Sean was going to lift her out of the limo but Craig jogged over to Ashley and lightly grabbed her hand and lightly pulled her out of the limo. He held her hand and used his other hand to go around her waist. The three of them walked into the school slowly.

-In the winter Dance, lights were set up, hanging above the dancing students. Craig, Ashley and Sean entered the Gymnasium-

The gym had white fluffy cotton on the floor as snow and little snowmen made of paper mashay (sp?). Ashley looked around the gymnasium, a little bewildered. She had never seen the gymnasium look so beautiful. She smiled then looked at Craig. "Lets dance" Ashley smiled and grabbed his hand pulling him on to the dance floor with the rest of the students. Emma walked inside the gymnasium with Chris.

Chris is Emma's new boyfriend. Sean turned around hearing Emma's voice enter his ear. He just looked at her when she entered with Chris. He turned around as she tried to greet him; he tried to ignore her as much as he possibly can. Chris tugged at Emma's arm and looked at her with wide eye's, gesturing for a dance.

Emma looked at Sean then back at Chris. She slowly let Chris pull her to the dance floor. Sean was obviously hurt by Emma moving on so quickly. He sighed and went to the refreshment stand. Sean just stood there after grabbing a cup full of red Hawaiian punch. Sean held the small cup up to his face, smiling at the well drawn snowmen on them, their little hats were painted black and the scarf was striped red and green, the jolly colors of the holiday season. "You like them? I drew them my self" A young girl said, she was about the age of Sean.

Her hair was a light blonde and her eye's were grey. She wore a light pink dress that stopped at her lower thigh. She wore no stockings or undergarments. Her dress was very alarming but also charming at the same time. He turned around towards where he heard the distinctive voice. "I haven't seen you around here before" Sean said to her, now fully looking into her grey eye's for full contact and complete listening.

"Well, that's because I'm one month new to this school" The girl spoke, rubbing her blonde hair lightly. "I'm Sean" he held out his hand for a shake. "Camille, nice to meet you" She said plainly while shaking his hand. "So, why isn't a cute guy like you dancing with one of your girl friends?" Camille asked as she grabbed a cup. "Well, I wasn't going to get into that but, I broke up with my girl friend right before this dance. What about you? I am sure a guy could have asked you out already." Sean said to her, taking a sip of the punch. "Well, that's not how it goes with me; these guys seem to not like me at all. I guess it's because I prefer to be alone" Camille said while smiling. "So you're the loner type huh?" Sean laughed a bit as he finished off his drink.

"Maybe I'll keep this, then I'll have a piece of Miss Camille" Sean laughed and looked at the cup. He sat it on the table and looked at Camille. "Do you want to dance?" He asked while holding out his hand to her. She nodded and grabbed his hand. "Love to" she smiled as he gently pulled her out on to the dance floor.

They danced to techno music; Camille lightly danced against him, almost as if she were grinding against him. She raised her hand to his neck, grinding her rear end against his body harder. He stayed with the beat of the music as his eye's trailed to Emma's eyes. She seemed to be having a lot of fun with Chris.

He rolled his eyes and looked down at Camille; she just smiled at him and turned around so that she was facing him. She got on her tips of her toes and got close to his ear. "Are you okay?" she asked him in his ear. He nodded and spoke. "I just need to sit down" He said while smiling. "Do you want to come with me?" Sean continued as he stopped dancing. Camille nodded as he smiled and started to walk; Camille put her hand in his and held it. Emma looked at Sean and a girl as they exited the gymnasium; she continued to dance until the two were out of sight. She rolled her eyes and continued to dance.

-Ashley and Craig-

Craig danced along with Ashley as she wrapped her arms around him. She felt a vibration in his pocket. She looked up at him then at his pocket again. She slipped her hand in his pocket and pulled it out; looking at the caller I.D. "Manny…" She said letting him go. He looked at her in a confused look. "What?" Craig also stopped dancing as he looked at Ashley.

Ashley turned the phone around so that he can see the caller I.D. She looked hurt and angry as she dropped the phone, sending it to the ground in pieces. Ashley ran out of the gymnasium. "Ash!" Craig said following her. Ashley walked faster into the hallway as Craig called her name. She stopped and turned around. "What do you want?!" Ashley said with an angry look on her face. "What's your problem?" Craig said walking up to her.

"You had Manny calling your phone? What did she want to talk about? Craig I'm freaking out here" Ashley said putting her hand on her head. "Are you having trust issues?" Craig asked her as he got closer and hugged her. "Well, yeah, you cheated on me once, what rule is it to not do it again?" Ashley said to him in small voice. Craig just looked at her, his lips curled into a small smile as he hugged her tightly. "What are you laughing at?" Ashley looked at him and smiled as well. "Nothing, it's nothing...'" Craig smiled and shook his head. "Are you messing with me?" Ashley asked with him with a false serious look.

"Obviously" Craig laughed at her. Ashley pushed him and he got up closer to her and held her waist. "Are you okay now?" Craig asked her. Ashley nodded and smiled. "You're so lucky I love you so much" Ashley put her arm around his neck as he kept his arm around her waist. "Do you want to walk home?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah, were going to my place or yours?" Craig asked. "You want to go to yours?" Ashley asked. "Okay" Craig smiled as they walked down the hall. "You guys! They're calling the winners now!" Spinner yelled to them. Craig and Ashley looked at each other and ran back inside. Ashley looked at a Craig smiled as they waited for the announcement. Liberty walked on the stage; she held a piece of paper in her hand as she slowly walked towards the microphone. "By 740 votes out of 1200 people our winners of the winter dance are Ashley and Craig!" Liberty said as everyone started to clap with the exception of Ashley. She was surprised that she was chosen. She froze for a while, she felt like everyone's eye's are on her.

"Oh my goodness… We won…We won!" Ashley covered her face as she cried a little in a happy way. She walked on to the stage with Craig's arm around her waist. She stood there as they put the white crown with little snow men on it onto her head. Ashley turned around to look at Craig as he walked towards her. "Ash! We won!" Craig tried to speak over the music. "What?" Ashley smiled and waved out to the crowd. "We wo—Oh never mind!" He smiled and waved at the crowd.

"Now it's time for our winning couple should share their first dance. The soft music started to play as Ashley smiled and looked at Craig. "I'm so Happy I get to spend this time with you" Ashley laid her head down on his shoulder as he looked behind her. Craig smiled at Ashley and rubbed her back softly. "I love you" Ashley spoke softly and smiled. Craig spotted manny as she danced along with JT. Manny looked at Craig and smiled a bit.

She mouthed the words 'Congratulations'. Craig smiled and waved a little then worded 'Thanks'. Manny nodded and smiled at him. Craig just smiled. "I love you too Ashley". Ashley looked at Craig in the eyes and smiled as she stopped dancing and grabbed his hand. She pulled him out of the gymnasium. Craig stopped and looked at Ashley as they both stood in front of the gym door. "Don't you want to stay and dance?" Craig asked while smiling.

"No, How about my house instead?" Ashley smiled and leaned into Craig's chest as she held onto his collar. Craig raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Re-really?" Craig asked her slowly. Ashley smiled and nodded. Ashley wrapped her arm around him and smiled as Craig did the same. The couple slowly walked down the hallway and out the school door.
