Chase's POV
Well, that was surprisingly un-awkward. Hugging Dana Cruz wasn't actually unpleasant. In fact, I think I liked it. Her hair smells like coconut…yeah I know, it's a weird thing to remember, but it made her seem less scary.
When I asked her to go with me, I knew she was only going to be saying yes because of Logan. What better way to get back at him than by dating his roomie… at least that's what she said. When she said it, I didn't know whether to be hurt or confused. Obviously I chose confused…I'm much more familiar with that territory. Why would Logan care that she was going to the dance with me?
She had to explain her plan. She was trying to make Logan jealous, because then she'd have real ammo to hurt him. Because Logan + Jealousy A crush on Dana…
I had to admit that I was thinking the same thing. She seemed annoyed, as if she'd expected that I'd transferred my affections onto her, but she understood. She's the only one who understands.
Anyway, back to the party. Zoey and Nicole were arguing about something, and I was trying to find out what. Unfortunately, I was also dancing at the time. I'm not the most coordinated of guys anyway, so it was probably a pretty bad plan. I think Dana noticed, and she turned me to face her with an evil look…shudder so, so evil. I think she caught Logan and the brunette. But she saw the look on my face, and seemed to relax. I swear she shrunk a few inches…she didn't look quite as imposing. She hugged me, and I pulled her tight. I really needed comfort. Then she led me out to the Terrace to talk. That would show Logan and Zoey…or at least make them wonder.
At least. Logan should have noticed. Dana did look beautiful, and seemed to have every guy's attention. I was so proud of her! But Zoey and Nicole were lost in their little argument… not that Zoey would have cared anyway.
The terrace was full of couples making out. Now usually, I would have been just a tad uncomfortable out there with all the lovebirds, but because I was with Dana, it didn't seem to matter. Nothing really seemed to matter, except having a good time. With Dana, all my problems seemed to disappear. I liked that.
Now, you're probably a little confused. Well, so was I. But I guess I was wrong. Dana wasn't always hot-headed…it was just the effect Logan had on her. And apparently, I made her not want to be angry. That was a sweet thing to say. I guess we kind of balance each other out, since we're so different. We talked about everything that night, from Zoey, to Logan, to the new menus in Sushi Rox. In fact, we talked for half of the night before we started dancing again.
As soon as we got back inside, we knew something was different. I felt like I'd just met Dana for the first time, and found not just a friend, but a soulmate. Someone so different, yet so similar. She just made my life feel better. That's why, when we got back inside, it was all positive vibes. We were there to have fun. Screw our love lives. Chases and Dana were on top of the world! I wonder if that's what drugs felt like…
Zoey's POV
I don't know why I started the fight with Nicole. I guess I just wanted some attention. My quota for attention is usually taken up by Chase, being the sweet, drooling idiot he is. I don't really know why it ended up being about Michael. I was only with him to get back at Chase, who had barely noticed. I mean, Chase asking Dana? What's up with that? It's supposed to be ME. ME ME ME!
I was more than a little angry. Which is why I flirted with Michael until he took the hint and asked me. Of course, he probably guessed my not-so honourable intentions, but he didn't seem to care. Nicole had Chris, so nothing really mattered to Michael. I think I accidentally found myself shoving all my anger at Chase onto Nicole…oops…my bad.
But I thought Chase was gonna ask me! Maybe he's finally given up, just when I noticed he'd been trying at all. I guess I didn't make saying how he felt easy…which is why he never got around to telling me.
If he invited Dana to make me jealous, then Ok, I admit it, it worked. But somehow, from the way they were dancing when they came back in at midnight, I doubt he stayed with her to make me jealous. Maybe it wasn't even his intention in the first place. All I know is that him and Dana were laughing, and kidding around, and dancing real close. And I didn't like it.
Screw you Dana Cruz. Yeah, you heard me, little Zoey used a bad word. SCREW YOU!
