My many apologies for my mega-slowness! Turns out my laptop got a virus from a website I'd been using and it was slowly dying . But I got Word on the main computer so I shall continue!

Nina's POV

After the meeting Amber held Nina prisoner in their room.

"We have to get ready for Prom!" Amber explained.

"It's only two! The Prom isn't until six!" Nina protested.

"Well we have to look perfect! This is Prom! The single most important night in a teenager's life. Don't you want to look good for Fabian?"

Nina blushed. "Well he hasn't really asked me…"

"Oh, please! You two are so together!" Amber told her.

"Well what if Joy-"

"Nina, he likes you! Not Joy, you!

"Yeah, but…"

"No buts! We are going to get ready, and if Fabian won't ask you then you will ask him!"

"But-"

"What did I just say? Now come here and let me do your hair!"

Fabian's POV

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Fabian scolded himself. Tonight's the Prom and you haven't asked Nina yet! Why? Why are you so stupid?

"Fabian! Snap out of it, mate!" Mick said waving his hand in Fabian's face.

"What?" Fabian asked.

"I asked if you had asked Nina to Prom yet."

"Oh. No I haven't."

"Why? You two are crazy for each other!"

"I don't know. It just never came up."

Mick was going with a girl from another house and had been bugging Fabian about asking Nina almost as much as he'd been complaining about the tux he had to wear.

"Dude, the Prom's tonight! Do you want to end up with Joy? That's what will happen if you don't go with Nina."

Joy… She'd been watching Fabian since she arrived. It was creepy. And when she wasn't watching him she was glaring at Nina. That was even creepier.

Fabian sighed. "Point taken." He walked over to the door.

"Good luck, mate." Mick called.

"Thanks."

Fabian was going toward the stairs to the girls' rooms when Joy appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey, Fabes."

"Joy. Hi. Umm I'm kind of busy now… whatever you want can it wai-"

Oh shoot. Joy kissed him. He tried to pull away but the stupid girl wouldn't let go.

Nina's POV

"AMBER!" Nina said coughing. Amber had been trying to grab the curling iron from behind her and knocked over half the makeup compacts in the process and there was a huge cloud of dust and powder in the room.

"Sorry!" Amber said coughing.

"I'll… go get… a vacuum." Nina coughed.

She went out the door. Clean air!

She immediately wished she hadn't. At the bottom of the stairs were Joy and Fabian.

Kissing.

Yes I know, another short chapter but that's just the perfect place to stop! I'm sorry!
