Chapter 8

"How's this one on me?" she asked her friend

"MMMMM….not your color. Try another one."

"OK."

Jade stood there waiting for her friend Joy to pick the right dress. The cotillion was tomorrow and she still had to find her own. Finally, Joy came out.

"Oh, my, GOD! It's perfect!" Jade said to her.

"Really? Do you think so?" she asked.

"YEA! Totally! My bro will love it!" Jade said to her

"OK! Now it's your turn!"

"OK!"

Meanwhile, the boy were looking out for some nice shirts and ties for the cotillion.

"How's this tie Stu?" asked Spencer

"MMMMM…not your color. Try another one." He told him

"OK"

A couple minutes later, Spencer came back with a great tie to match his shirt.

"Awesome!"

"Really? Do you think so?" he asked him

"Defiantly! Joy will love it!"

"OK. Now it's your turn" Spencer told him.

"OK"

It was the big night. Cars pulling up with couples and families all around, teachers were swarming everywhere. Everyone started to enter the gym where the party was. Many parents were snapping pictures of their kids, and kids said things like, "MOM! STOP YOU'RE EMBARRESSING ME!" or "Just leave me alone!" and other things.

"Do you think she's coming? It's been 5 minutes since this party started!" Spencer panicked.

"Chill out Spencer. She'll come. Remember? Your sister and her are going together so it will be a while. You know how girls are." Stu told him in comfort.

Finally, a white stretch limo pulled up in front of the school. Joy and Jade ascended out of the limo.

"OK. They boys are inside Joy. Are you ready?" Jade asked her

"Yupp. Let's go." She said to Jade.

The girls walked down the long hall getting looks from everyone along the way.

"Why is everyone staring at you Jade?" asked Joy.

"Are you kidding me? There staring at you!" she told her with excitement.

Joy giggled. "Yea right."

Finally they made it to the doors that led into the huge decorated theater. They heard the song "High" by James Blunt starting to play.

"You ready?" Jade asked Joy.

"Yupp" she told her.

"You ready?" Stu asked Spencer.

"Yupp." He told him.

Just as the chorus came for the song "High", Jade and Joy entered the theater with a grand entrance.

"Wow." The boys said together as when they saw their gorgeous dates.

Jade was wearing a sparkling purple dress that ended at her knees. The dress was tied at her waist with a huge pretty bow. She was wearing black and purple shoes with little bows and the sides of them. They sparkled just as much as her beautiful dress. Her hair was pulled tightly back in a high fancy bun with two thick strands of curled hair hanging in her face. She was beautiful.

Joy was just as pretty. She wore a yellow dress that also came to her knees. The dress was pulled at her waist but there was no bow there. The dress was a little puffed out on the bottom but no so much. It was just right. Her hair was strait but it had a yellow bow in it to match beautifully with her dress and her pink hair. Her shoes were pink and yellow and had straps that ended just above her claves.

Stunning. There were both stunning. The two boys immediately ran over to their date.

"You look gorgeous sweetheart." Stu told Jade. "You two Joy."

"Thank you" they both said.

"Ahhhhhhhh—" Spencer said as he was drooling over Joy.

"Ummm, Spence?" Stu said to him. He waved his hand in Spencer's face to get his attention.

"Hello?" he said again.

"Huh. Wha-? OH! Sorry! I was trying to say, Joy, you look just as beautiful as my sis here."

"Excuse me?" Jade said to him in a sarcastically mean way.

"Uhhh…what I meant was…ummm… O forget it! You look beautiful Joy."

"Uhhh…thanks, I guess"

"Smooth." Spencer thought to himself.

The four took a seat at a table. They ate and talked until a song came on. The song was called "How Can I Not Love You."

"Want to dance Jade?" Stu asked.

"Love too." She told him

They left Joy and Spencer behind and made themselves onto the dance floor. The two got together tightly and started to dance.

"What should I do? Should I ask her to dance? If I do will it be to forward? What if she says no?" he sighs. "Well it's now or never."

"Say Joy?"

"Yes?" she answered.

"Would-would you like to dance?" he asked her.

"I'd love to Spencer." She said and smiled.

"OK! Let's go!"

cannot touch, cannot hold, cannot be together
cannot love, cannot kiss, cannot have each other
must be strong and we must let go
cannot say what our hearts must know

Spencer and she started to dance, but they were pretty far apart. I mean, it was their first dance together right?

how can i not love you
what do i tell my heart
when do i not want you
here in my arms
how does one waltz away
from all of the memories
how do i not miss you
when you're gone

Finally, at this point, Spencer starts to move closer to Joy, and she moves closer to him.

cannot dream, cannot share, sweet and tender moments
cannot feel, how we feel, must pretend it's over
must be brave and we must be go on
must not say what we've known all alone

Finally, they hold each other as close as they can a dance the night away. They didn't care who was watching them.

how can i not love you
what do i tell my heart
when do i not want you
here in my arms
how does one waltz away
from all of the memories
how do i not miss you
when you're gone

"Joy?" Spencer started.

"Yes?" she answered looking up.

"I know we just met and all, but I feel like I've know you for ages.

"I feel the same way."

must be brave and we must be go on
must not say what we've known all alone

"You do?"

"Yes."

They went back to there dancing.

how can i not love you
what do i tell my heart
when do i not want you
here in my arms
how does one waltz away
from all of the memories
how do i not miss you
when you're gone

Finally, Spencer leaned in and gave Joy a soft kiss. She was so surprised that their relationship was moving so fast, but she couldn't help but love it, and returned it back. They stood their kissing until the next song came on. It was loud so it made them jump apart. They looked at each other and blushed. They went back to there table.

"Well, well, well, what's this we got here Jade?" Stu said playfully.

"Looks like a new couple to me. Don't you think so?"

"Sure does." Stu told her back. "See Spence? I told you you'd find "The One".

"Yea and you were right. I did find "The One" he smiled and kissed Joy on the cheek. She smiled back.

"This has been the best day of my life! Nothing can possibly go wrong!" Spencer said in happiness.

But he was wrong. He was very, very wrong.
