Chapter 10

A New Side of Them

The Next Night…

"Well, it's almost time! I am so excited!" Said Halley.

She, along with her friends, was getting ready for the party. The same party that Nadia and Sally had just went to get ready for. Halley was getting changed into a light blue and white sleeveless top with tight blue jeans.

"I am too, Halley! I can't wait to see what my dream man looks like!" said Tina.

She was getting changed into a black and white tube top with a black skirt.

"Tina, how can he be you're 'dream man' if you've neverseen him?" asked Chelsea sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

Chelsea was already in her outfit. It was a pink halter with tight blue jeans.

"I can't wait to see what Rizzo says about my outfit! He's such a sweetie!" said Chelsea, "I wonder what we'll do tonight?"

She smiled evilly after saying this. The two other's also smiled, thinking about what they would to that night. Their thoughts were interrupted by noise in the hotel hallway. It was Nadia and Sally talking on their way to their room. Chelsea went next to the door to hear what they were talking about.

"Well, I just realized something Sally." Said Nadia, "I have no outfit to wear."

Chelsea snickered when she heard this, still unaware that she was talking about the party.

"Don't worry Nadia, we can surely find something nice!" said Sally.

"Okay, I am still in shock that I saw Vlad again." said Nadia.

Hearing this, Chelsea's mouth opened wide with disbelief.

'Again?' she thought.

She motioned for Tina and Halley to come and listen.

"I'm happy for you. I'm so happy that Boris said yes!" said Sally, "I can't believe he and I are going to this party!"

"I am very excited about this party, too!" said Nadia, "Vladislav is the greatest…"

Chelsea and Tina looked at each other in shock! Halley gave her famous "Of course I'm right!" look.

"Oh don't even say it!" said Tina.

"Wait a minute!" said Chelsea, "You may have been right about the boyfriends, but how do we even know if they're cute? I mean, besides Nadia's Soviet boyfriend. Who is this Boris guy anyway?"

"You're probably right Chelsea. He's probably stupid and ugly!" said Tina.

"Duh!" said Chelsea, "And besides, they're not even from this country! They are from Russia!"

"Ohemgee! Communists?" exclaimed Halley, who was shocked.

"Leave it to Nadia and Sally to pick Soviets in the middle of the Cold War!" said Tina, "They are such traitors!"

Of course Vlad and Boris weren't communists, but it made Tina and the other two feel good to make fun of the guys. Chelsea laughed a little and went to put on makeup and finish primping for the party. Halley went to do her hair and Tina went to look at herself in the mirror to make sure she looks absolutely perfect.

Meanwhile…

"I told you…" whined Nadia, "I have nothing to wear."

Nadia did not like to whine, but this was an emergency.

"Nadia. The great thing about Vladislav and Boris is that they won't care how we look. Boris doesn't know me yet, but…" Said Sally reassuringly, "You and Vlad already have a special relationship."

Nadia smiled at her best friend, feeling lucky to have such good advice.

"Thanks, Sally! I know they won't care, but I will. I don't want to look like a slob."

Nadia, feeling like hope was lost, looked down into her suitcase. There, she spotted her black and white plaid skirt and red coat.

"I forgot I brought this." Said Nadia, surprised, "I think I can fix this up a bit and make it look really neat!"

"Hey Nadia," said Sally, "I think I found my outfit." Sally held up a pair of jeans and a purple coat.

"Hey Sally, use this too!" said Nadia, throwing her a pink and white scarf.

"Thanks!" said Sally, starting to change.

"Okay, now all I need to do is..." said Nadia, getting undressed, "put this together right!"

The Party…

"You're a great dancer, Chelsea!" said Rizzo.

She flashed a smile at him.

"I know, right!" she said in one her most snobbiest voices.

She was also looking around to see if Nadia and Sally had shown up with their dates. So far, she only saw hockey players, people she didn't know, and her friends. Tina danced her way over to Chelsea with OC right behind her.

"I am totally loving this! OC is such a cutie! If you need me, I'll be..."

OC had his and around Tina's waist and pulled her away before she finished. Chelsea was starting to get jealous that Rizzo wasn't trying to kiss her or anything. Her friends were making out and having a blast and all she was doing was dancing.

"Hey Rizzo," she started, "Let's go back to your room and well… you know."

Rizzo kind of got red and started sweating a little.

"Well, um Chelsea. I really like you, but I just can't do that."

Chelsea's face turned paper-white as she looked at Eruzione.

"What!" she shouted at him, "Are you joking! No one says 'no' to me!"

"Look, I'm sorry but things like that mess up my game! I just can't do that to my team." Said a worried Rizzo, "People like Jack can act that way and it won't do anything to they're game. But me… well, it just doesn't work."

Chelsea went from white to beat red with anger.

"You think you can stand me up! Well, guess what, YOU CAN'T!"

"I'm not standing you up, I just can't do it!" he said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I, you... you!" Chelsea stuttered. She couldn't find anything to say to him because she knew he was making perfect sence. She ran out of the room, pushing people out of her way.

Tina and Halley saw the whole thing, in between kissing of course, and ran to see if Chelsea was okay.

"Chelsea, are you alright?" asked Halley in a worried tone.

Chelsea was crying and her eye makeup was running down her cheek.

"Do I look okay?" she snapped, "I was such a jerk to Rizzo!"

Halley and Tina looked at each other in awe. They both thought the same thing;

'Chelsea must have really liked him if she was calling herself a jerk, something that she has never done in her whole life!'

"The truth is…" Chelsea started, "is that Rizzo was a great guy. I've never met a guy like him in my whole life! Most of the guys I've dated have been real jerks but were, like, super hot so I didn't really care! But Mike Eruzione is like, just… everything."

Chelsea hugged her friends and they went back to the party.
