Once me and Heather got to the dance, there was already tons of people there! They were all dancin and havin a really good time. It was weird because this is actually the first time that I've been to a Valentines Day Dance before. I know that Zoey, like everything else that she does, is on the comittee, and I know that Chase said somethig about there being some kind of contest or something. Well, I don't remember. I just know there were a bunch of people voting for a girl for something. Dana was one of the nominees, so I just voted for her. I really don't know what it's for though.
"Do you want to dance?" Heather asked me.
"Sure why not." I responded.
"Let Me Love You" was playing. That was actually one of my favorite songs. Once we got to the dace floor the song was over and "I'll make Love to You" came on. It was a really old song, but it was good.
"You do still want to dance don't you?" Heather asked me.
"Do you even have to ask?" I questioned her as I wrapped my arms around her. She just smiled at me. I pulled her in really close. I could tell that she liked it by the way she put her head on my shoulder. As we danced I looked around the room. I didn't want to aditt it, but I knew that I was looking for Dana. I finally spotted her dancing with Nick. She looked like she was enjoying herself, and then she looked up and our eyes met eachouthers.
"Hi," she mouthed to me.
"Hi" I returned in the same manner. She smiled at me, and it felt like my heart was gonna melt. 'Wow! Did I really jsut say that? I really think that I need to calm down, and start thinking before I speak.' I thought to myself. I put my gaze to the floor, and then I looked bacup to see her still looking at me. I looked at her puzzled. She flipped me off casually. It was really funny though because she had her arms around Nick and then all of the sudden she just flipped me off and started to smile. I flipped her off back. Then the song was over. Dana and Nick left the dance floor.
"Hey will you go and get me a drink?" she questioned Nick as me and Heather walked over next to her and sat down. Heather looked at me.
"Heather, would you like me to get you a drink?" I quesetioned her. I wanted to make Dana jealous so bad.. I knew what it did to her.
"Yeah that'd be nice." she said as she sat down by Dana.
Me and Nick walked back to the table at the same time. We hadn't said anything to one another.
"Thanks." Dana said as she took a sip of her drink.
"Here you are." I said to Heather as I handed her her drink.
"Okay, I'm good. Lets go and dance now." Dana told Nick as she stould up and grabbed his hands and then she looked at me. After she looked at me, this was a official challenge. She was tryin to make me jealous too. Instead of following them, I decided to make her mad. I was gonna play it cool as if I didn't care that the two were dancing. I looked around the room and saw Zoey and Chase talkin. I started to wonder what Dana's plan to get them to go out was gonna be.
Two hours went by and it was almost time to go, and then all of the sudden Zoey walked out on the stage.
"hey everybody, how are you enjoying the dance?" she questioned throught the microphone. Everyone screamed. " That's great! Well, it's time to annonce the top three winners in the sing for fling commpettition. These three winners, as you know, will compete for the position of opening for Mariah Carey at this years Spring Fling." Zoey explained. I started wondering why Dana was even in this. Could Dana sing? "Okay, so our second runner up is...Heather Lockingbird." Zoey announced.
Everyone clapped, and I gave Heather a kiss on the cheak before she made her way up to the stage. Zoey walked off the stage and the lights dimmed. The mustic to Mariah's "Sweet Fantasy" started playing. She started to sing and she wasn't bad at all. This wasn't exactly my favorite song or anything, but I just figured that they had to sing of her songs of somethnig like that.
"Wow that was great Heather." Zoey said as she came back on the stage. Heather walked down back by me and gave me a kiss on the cheak. "So, now we have to announce the first runner up, Zoey Brooks. Hey that's me." Zoey said as she laughed. " I didn't even know that I was in the commpettition.
Once again everyone clapped as the lights dimmed. I must admitt Zoey looked pretty good tonight. She had on a hot pink summer dress that fit pretty tightly! She began singing "Open Arms". She sounded good, but not quite as good as Heather, and I'm not just saying that beucase Heather's my date.
"Okay now that I'm done singing, but not sounding as good as Heather, it's time to present our top winner in this competition! She's not gonna be the for sure winner of this, but she has the best chance! So now, I'm presenting Dana Cruz!" Zoey announced.
Dana smiled and jummped up and down. The cheering was louder than ever, and she was so excited. She looked a little nervous though too. She gave Nick a hug and a kiss and then she ran up on stage. The music started playing.
"We were as one babe, for a moment in time.
And it seemed everlasting, that you would always be mine.
Now you wanna be free, so I let you fly...
Cuz I know in my heart babe, our love will never die.
You'll always be a part of me,
I'm part of you indeffinatly,
boy don't you know you can't excape me,
Oooh darling cuz you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on,
time can't erase a feeling this strong,
Oh no you're never gonna shake me,
Oooh darlin cuz you'll always be my baby.
I ain't gonna cry no, and I won't beg you to stay.
If you're determined to leave boy, I will not stand in your way.
But unnubadubly, you'll be back again,
cuz you know in your heart babe...
our love will never end.
You'll always be a part of me,
I'm part of you indeffinatly,
boy don't you know you can't excape me,
Oooh darling cuz you'll always be my baby.
And we'll linger on,
time can't erase a feeling this strong,
Oh no you're never gonna shake me,
Oooh darlin cuz you'l always be my baby."
"Come on, let's get out of here." Heather whispered in my ear as Dana continued to rock the house. Dana could sing, and I mean, she could really sing. She started off kinda quiet, but I guess she got into the song, and after that, she just blew everyone away.
"Alright, I'll take you home." I told her. I walked her home, and then I hurried back to the dance, but by the time I got there everyone ecept Zoey and Chase were gone, so I walked back to the girls dorms to takl to Dana.
