Chapter 12
Ryan walked down the hallway toward Alexis's room to accompany her to the dance. He was wearing a shiny new tuxedo and bow tie, flowers in hand. He knocked on the door.
"Wow, you look beautiful," Ryan said. Alexis had her hair done in most elaborate blonde curls. In a poofy dress layered in different shades of blue.
"Thanks," she whispered.
"These are for you," he said giving her the flowers. She took one out of the bouquet and placed in her hair.
"Shall we?" he said taking her hand.
"We shall," she said kissing him on the cheek.
"This is awesome," Ryan said commenting on the layout of the auditorium. The ceiling was painted a shiny gold. There were heart shaped, red and pink balloons tied to chairs. Even a live band rocking out on stage.
"Awesome is an understatement," Alexis said. Alexis continued to admire the decorations when she saw Jaden, and he was walking over. She didn't want to deal with this shit right now. She grabbed Ryan's face and kissed him passionately. She thought this would stop Jaden from coming towards her but it just made him speed up! Before Ryan knew what had happened he was on the ground.
"Dude what was that for?" Ryan yelled at him getting to his feet.
"You know what this is about, you were just waiting for us to split, so you could make you're move huh," Jaden yelled at him.
"Whatever," Ryan replied. "Come on," he said taking Alexis's arm, but she pulled away. He looked at her for a minute.
"What's wrong?" he asked her.
"Did you really want us to break up?" she yelled at him. His silence told her the answer. "I can't believe you!" she screamed. She then slapped him across the face and stomped off. Jaden just snickered.
"What the fuck just happened?" was all Ryan could think to himself. He was sitting on one of the red chairs with velvet padding at a table by himself. Then he noticed Jasmin walk over.
"You got dumped to?" she laughed. He remained still and quiet.
"Come on, let's have some fun," she said, optimistic as ever. When he didn't respond, she grabbed his arm and yanked him from the table, and led him to the dance floor. He didn't really feel like having fun now but had paid for a ticket, so he might as well live it up. They danced for a little while, and then a slow song came on. He felt awkward dancing with Jasmin, but he didn't want to her feelings. And then he saw them, Alexis and Jaden dancing close, it made him, how she could just take her back after he broke her heart!
"Excuse, me students," it was Mindy and she was on stage. "We would like to announce, cutest couple award, if your name is announced, come on stage." She opened an envelope and took out a slip of paper. "And the winners are . . . Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes," she yelled to the crowd. Everyone started to clap, except Ryan. Jaden and Alexis stepped onto the stage. Mindy took a crown and a tiara off of a table behind her and placed on their heads, and then he kissed her. Ryan had had enough. He rushed onto the stage and punched Jaden square in the face. Even when he fell to the ground he kept punching and kicking him.
"Ryan, Ryan, please stop," Alexis screamed. Security guards rushed the stage trying to restrain Ryan but he got away from them and attacked Jaden once more. It took almost eight security guards to hold Ryan back.
"Im gonna kill him," Ryan yelled insanely. Alexis was kneeling down next to Jaden, his head in her lap. She couldn't help herself but thinking that this was all her fault.
