Chapter 2
Ok, this is all gonna be Dana and Logan' POVs… I decided that 6 may be a few too many lol
Dana's POV
Me and Chase walked in about 10 minutes after the party started. Everyone turned around. I know I said it was lame, but I let Nicole do my make-up, and I borrowed Zoey's shoes. I have to admit, if I was a guy, I would have wanted me!
I think a few of them did… most of the boys were staring appreciatively…except one.
Damn Logan Reese. It is actually possible to have fun without him… while he was off in a corner playing tongue-tennis with a random girl, I was dancing with Chase. He kept looking over my shoulder, looking for Zoey. I felt really sorry for him, and just on impulse I threw my arms around him and hugged him.
He looked pretty freaked out…
"What the heck?"
I rolled my eyes at him. "Hey, give me a break. It's not like I never hugged anyone before"
He looked at me and said… "Well actually, I've never seen you hug anyone. I mean, no offence, but you always seem a little…angry"
He gave me this cute little Chase-ish look, which I took to mean 'Don't hurt me'.
I didn't get annoyed… in fact to my surprise the infamous Cruz sarcasm even seemed to melt away. I gave Chase my biggest smile.
"You make me not wanna be angry".
Cue the cutest blush ever…aw. How can Zoey not see how sweet this boy is? I ruffled his hair and he shot me a look.
"You know, I think I might actually like you."
I stepped back in mock surprise…but I could tell he meant it. Not in the way he liked Zoey, but still... I realised that Chase Matthews would be a good friend to have. I mean, we are like polar opposites. Me and Logan… we're exactly the same. Which meant Chase was Logan's opposite. That made him just the kind of person I wanted to spend time with.
"You want to go outside a sec? Just to talk?" Chase gave me a shy smile and I think at some point I may have blushed. I'm not a friendly person, so I don't know why I did it. It was just something about Chase… I wanted to tell him everything, cos I got the feeling he would understand.
"I'm really glad I came with you, Dana" he said, in complete earnest. I knew what he meant. Not having to worry about how your palms were getting sweaty, or how nervous you were, or how the other person made you feel like their were butterflies inside you. No time spent trying to fire them up, get them angry, because at least that meant they were passionate… even if that passion wasn't meant for you.
Well… maybe that was just me. Chase and Zoey are friends, not enemies… they're probably different. Chase is probably used to it all…
Logan's POV
Look at the way she's waltzing in as if she owns the place. It's MY party… people should be looking at me! Granted, I wouldn't have wanted the room to be watching me make out with Georgia (especially since she wasn't my date), but from the minute she put those tanned legs into use, and started to strut into the room, she was practically screaming 'Look at me! Look how hot Dana Cruz got!' As if we hadn't already noticed. Anyways, I wasn't gonna dignify her entrance with even the tiniest of glances. Screw her.
I think Chase actually finally saw how beautiful she is. They were standing there, dancing and having fun, but he seemed a little distracted. Kept looking at Zoey and Nicole, who were showing off in front of Michael. I don't know if he got the wrong idea, but suddenly he was holding Dana in his arms. I wanted to punch him! Uh…for Zoey. Not for me. Dana Cruz is not my business.
She didn't even look angry. She freaking smiled! God, she's gorgeous when she smiles… damn her! Leave me alone!
I think she heard what I was thinking, cos she took Chase's hand and led him out to the terrace where some people were making out. And you know what? Not being able to see how she flirted with him was more painful than actually witnessing it. I hate Dana… that girl messes up my head.
