PORTMAN'S POV

For what seemed like the millionth time since Julie told me she'd already asked Dwayne to the dance, I wished I had've pulled my head out of my ass and realised how much I liked the girl sooner.

Especially when she walked into the room in the hottest dress I've ever seen.

"Damn"

Obviously I'd just said that out loud because Russ and Luis were laughing at me and making whipping sounds.

You know besides Fulton and Ken, Russ is the only person on the planet who isn't afraid to tease me openly. Luis I was surprised at. Maybe Mendoza was finally growing some balls.

Of all people who weren't me that could have taken Julie to the dance, I was glad it was Dwayne because he immediately brought her over to me and then made an excuse to leave.

"Wow you look damn fine!" I blurted out smiling when she blushed.

"Thanks, you look kinda handsome yourself" she cast her eye over my attire. I'd actually made an effort for this dance. Granted it was just a black dress shirt and black pants but usually I wore the leather jacket and whatever band shirt I could find on the floor that smelt decent enough.

"Come here Kitty Cat" I couldn't resist her any longer and drew her in for a kiss.

"This feels nice" I commented running a hand down her dress. It was all silky and smooth.

"I know" Julie smiled wrapping her arms around my waist.

I breathed in her scent. She smelt like sweet fruit and fresh flowers. I liked it on her.

"Here ya go, I got us all drinks" Dwayne handed us sodas.

"Thanks Dwayne, just a hint, don't anyone drink the punch, I heard it was gonna be spiked with Absinth" I told the boys. I'd overheard it in the hallways that someone was planning on spiking the punch.

Gee how cliché right?

Julie looked like she was almost smirking but when I saw who she was looking I realised it was more of a dirty look.

Britney and Alexa had just walked in on the arms of the Varsity Basketball captain and co-captain respectively.

Shoot, that reminds me. Where is Fulton?

"Oh my god look!" Julie nudged me and indicated to the door where Fulton and his date were walking in behind Alexa and whatever that dude's name was.

"Ooo Alexa looks pissed!" Julie said happily when we witnessed Alexa turn around and see Fulton and Jenna arm in arm.

I must admit I was kinda proud of myself, I'd picked a good one. Jenna was wearing this tightish all in one thingy in Fulton's favourite colour, black of course, with her really long hair down. He looked pretty pleased with himself.

He owes me one now!

JULIE'S POV

This was going even better than I thought, Alexa was in the white dress with Britney along side her in the dress Connie had so cunningly ruined and they both looked really pissed off when they saw who Fulton was with.

Portman had unknowingly set Fulton up with Jenna Hewitt, Eden Hall's track star and Alexa and Britney's arch enemy.

Oh boy this was gold!

"Do you see who Fulton's with?" Connie hissed as she practically sprinted over to me.

"I know, Dean set it up!" I laughed.

"Jules, your boyfriend is awesome!" Connie exclaimed.

"He's bringing her over here!" Russ interrupted. The entire Duck clan had been watching Fulton and his date.

"Hey guys, this is Jenna" Fulton introduced her to the group.

"Hi Jenna!" we all had this, well I guess annoying, habit of speaking at once.

"Hi" Jenna laughed looking a little nervous. I don't blame her really, the Ducks are quite full-on if you're not used to hanging around with them.

"Guys, the punch is spiked!" Averman looked like he'd just swallowed sour milk. More likely he'd swallowed the Absinth punch. It really was a potent mix.

You see, phase 1 of our plan of not getting caught was to spike the punch. No one would ever guess, or believe that Connie I did it so when the final phase was complete then whoever was suspected of spiking the punch would get the blame. The second part to that phase was to spike it with something that would get people hammered a lot quicker than regular alcohol so by the time the teachers realise what's happened, it'll be too late.

"Sssh! We know" Portman hissed shutting Averman up.

"You did it?" Averman asked.

"No, but if you keep talking about it, people will think we did it" Portman explained.

"Oh, okay! I know nothing!" he said putting his punch down and taking a sip from Connie's soda.

Then the first slow song for the night came on and Dwayne, remembering his promise allowed Portman to lead me out onto the dance floor with Connie, Averman, Fulton and Jenna in tow.

I was acutely aware that I was probably the envy of every girl here, remembering what it was like at previous dances when I'd watch Dean with some random girl secretly wishing I were her.

Well I am that girl now so there!

The song ended and Dean Buckley got up on stage to announce that it was time to award the best dressed winners.

He then invited Alexa and Britney on to the stage.

Connie inched her way over to me and we tried our hardest not to let the grins show.

We couldn't wait for what would happen!

"Everyone if we could have your attention please!" Alexa ordered the crowd to be quiet.

"God that girl is so obnoxious" Connie whispered to me.

"I know" I whispered back.

"So we're about to announce who is the best dressed here, which personally I think me and Alexa should win, cos how hot do we look right?" Britney added and everyone in the crowd groaned. Those two were so far up themselves it wasn't funny.

"So lets open the envelope" Alexa waited for Britney to rip open the envelope.

"Oh my god I was right, me and Alexa are the best dressed!" she announced triumphantly.

"Not for long" Connie hissed and I laughed.

One……two……..three….

SPLAT!

Our grand finale had come to fruition as the cans of paint fell from the Art Department scaffold and dropped the motherload of hot pink paint all over Britney and Alexa.

The entire crowd erupted into enormous laughter as the two head cheerleaders were covered from head to toe in pink paint.

"ARGH!" Alexa screeched.

Britney, on the other hand, had more coming to her.

"God I hope this works" Connie hissed.

And it did.

Britney went to make a sharp move to run off the stage when the stitching in her dress split and it came off in tatters.

"My dress!" she screamed trying to cover herself.

The students laughed even harder.

"Man this is so funny!" Portman laughed. Even Fulton had tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.

"Whoever did this deserves a medal!" Jenna commented to Connie and I who did our best to look innocent.

"I know" I replied with a straight face.

To cap the scene off Dean Buckley managed to snag a tablecloth and was trying to wrap it around Britney so that she was covered.

"Get away from me!" she yelled before sprinting out of the auditorium.

"Bye Britney!" a group of students called after her. I recognised them as being the Chess Club. They were probably loving this since Britney and Alexa were always so nasty to anyone who wasn't a good looking jock or a cheerleader.

"That was sweet!" Goldberg said happily.

"I know' I replied smiling. The look on Goldberg's face had just wiped out any bad feelings I may have had about playing such a nasty prank on the two. He was getting his self-confidence back.

So that finished off the best week of my life.

I had my man.

Got payback on the two biggest bitches in the school.

And I hoped to God Connie and I never got caught.

Wait, did I mention I had my man?

Life sure was sweet.
