Okay, I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been spending a lot of time outdoors with running the track at my school for an hour every morning and just walking or riding my bike in the afternoon. But now I'm back and updating!
Another interesting bit, another HSM2 song is going to premiere on Radio Disney on Friday. It's Troy's song "Bet on It" and I think the rest of the Wildcats sing it too. And yes, Zac is singing in this one! I'll try to get a high quality raido rip of it for you to download and listen to.
This is a sucky chapter in my opinion, but the next one will be so much better. I promise.

CHAPTER TEN
Somehow
(Corrie's POV)
My phone went off. "Grrr..." someone had to call at the wrong time. Turning to answer it, a pair of hands stopped me.
"Corrie," he smiled, "Let it go. Now what's your answer?"
"I think you know."
"Maybe," Trevor whispered into my ear, "But I need some reassuring."
"Oh really?" I asked. He nodded even though I knew he knew my answer.
"Yeah, I'd like..."
His sentence was cut-off as I placed my lips on his. Deepening the kiss, he placed his hands around my waist, pulling me closer and pressing my body against his.
Trevor pulled away slowly. I didn't want him to. I longed for the taste of his lips.
"Is that a yes?" he teased.
"Of cou–" my phone went off, yet again, "Let me get that." It was probably the same person who called earlier.
"Hello?"
"Corrie," it was Danny, "Where are you?"
"Umm...ahh..." I didn't know how to answer. If he found out that I was with Trevor, not only with him, but on the verge of making out with him, he'd, he'd...I didn't even want to think about it.
"Where are you, Corrie?"
"A-A-At the mall, buying a dress," I looked down at the dress that I was still wearing. I decided that it was the one that I wanted.
"The mall?" he sounded urgent, "You'd better watch out because I heard that Trevor was there."
I looked over to Trevor, who smiled. "Okay."
"Don't forget about the dance tomorrow. I'll come over to pick you up at promptly 7. Okay, dear?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Bye!"
"Yeah, bye," I answered a bit dejectedly. I closed the phone, thinking. "How do I tell Danny that I'm going with Trevor? Or tell Trevor that Danny's still out to get him? Gah! How did I get myself into this mess!"
"Corrie, are you alright?" Trevor asked, seeing the look of pensiveness on my face.
"Yea...Of course...Maybe...Okay, no..."
"Do you want to talk?" he asked, pulling me into his arms, running his fingers through my hair.
"It's...complicated..." I answered, burying my head into his muscular chest and taking in his smell.
"Alright, I won't ask," he smiled, "But if it's about Danny, I understand."
"Yeah. He just called and reminded me that I said that I'd be his date for tomorrow's dance. I'm sorry Trevor."
"Don't worry," he laid a consoling hand on my shoulder, "I understand."
"But it's you who I want to go with!"
"We'll just find a way..."
Saturday Night, 6:58 pm
Awaiting the night ahead, I sat down in the chair. Next to me stood a picture of Maddie and I. I miss those times. I haven't talked to her since that incident in the cafeteria
Ding-dong
It was Danny. I just knew that it was going to be him. Walking to the door,
Ding-dong
Pulling open the door, I saw that it was Maddie who was at the door and Trevor stood behind her, smiling.
"Corrie, sweetie!" she cried, "I haven't seen you in forever!"
"Hey," I answered, not sure whether I should question Trevor or Maddie, "Come on in, Danny hasn't showed up yet."
As they entered the house of mine, Trevor smiled at me. I kinda guessed that meant he knew how to get us alone.
"Corrie," he whispered.
"What?" I answered, closing the door behind me.
"Guess what?"
"You've got a plan concocting in that clever head of yours?"
"Yup!"
Ding-dong
I knew for sure that this was going to be Danny, who else was it going to be.
Opening the door, I saw that my hypothesis was correct.
"Hey Danny," I said, trying to sound excited to see him.
"Corrie, babe," he tried to kiss me, but Trevor jumped in.
"Yo, Danny!" I thought that it was brave of Trevor to talk to Danny after what he did to him.
But Danny didn't seem to want to throttle him or anything. I could see why, he already has me. "Hey Trevor! What are you doin' here?"
"Maddie wanted to come over to see Corrie."
"Maddie? You mean Maddie Fitzpatrick?"
"Yeah, that's me!" I could see that something in Maddie's eyes showed that she liked Danny, or at least was impressed with him.
"Well, what are we doing here? We better get to that dance!" Danny exclaimed.
"Sure, we could all carpool in my car," Trevor answered.
"Alright, let's go!" Maddie answered, inching closer to Danny.
We all exited my house and got into Trevor's car, him driving and me in the front passenger side. I was careful to make sure that I wouldn't do anything to anger Danny while up there.
At The Dance
When we got there, we went our separate ways, Danny and I, Maddie and Trevor. But before he left, he whispered into my ear "Find Mary Margaret."
Confused, I wondered what he meant by "Find Mary Margaret." I thought maybe I wouldn't even get a chance to, seeing Danny's very controlling behavior the past few weeks. But it was easy, considering the fact that he left me to be with his football buddies.
Searching the entire room, I finally found her, talking to Corbin, who I presumed was her date.
"Hey Mary Margaret!"
"Corrie! I'm glad I found you!"
"Yeah, Trevor told me to find you. What would that be all about?" I noted Corbin's interest in our conversation, "Oh, hey Corbin."
"Hey Corrie," he was pretty quiet and reserved, but he had the most defined cheekbones in this entire school. It was one of those noticing features that always caught my eye.
"Where's Danny?" she asked.
"Over there," I answered, pointing to a corner of the gym, "Talking to his football buddies."
"Well, that makes my job easier."
"What job?"
"Well, I was supposed to keep Danny away from you all night, but since he's over there, it makes it easier."
"Oh, okay. Well..." I looked around, "How are you going to get Maddie away from Trevor?"
"Maddie's going with Trevor?" The news seemed to shock her.
"Yeah..."
"Well, let's see," Mary Margaret looked around the gym, scanning the crowd for Maddie. "It looks like she's talking to Danny."
"Why would Maddie be talking to Danny?" I looked over and she was right. Maddie was talking to Danny, flirting is what I perceived it as.
"Hey Corrie."
I jumped, but it was into Trevor's arms. "Oh, Trevor, you scared me."
He smiled, "May I have this dance?"

What's Corrie's answer? What's the deal with Danny? Find ou in the next chapter (which will be much better than this one)!
