Chapter Eleven

Ah! Almost fifty reviews! Woot, woot! Thanks for the positive feedback everyone…keep R and R'ing!

One chapter left D: I think. Maybe two. How many it takes, I guess. I could've ended it here, but I like writing this way too much. So there's a spin at the end, so that more chapters can come. xD

--

I buried my face in my palms. I have never been so darn embarrassed in my entire life.

"It wasn't that bad," Zora shrugged. The rest of the cast had gathered around my table, where I sat between Tawni and Chad, who for some reason was still here.

"Yeah, it was," I confirmed, looking up. At least my ankle didn't hurt anymore.

"Are we going to spend the whole party moping?" Tawni whined.

I waved my hand towards the celebs having fun. "Go, party it up. Bring me some cake," I said listlessly.

"Yay!" Tawni leapt up and walked as gracefully as a gazelle towards the buffet tables.

"Can we…?" Niko and Grady asked in unison, glancing at me hopefully.

"Yes! Go, eat, mingle, don't mind me!" I exclaimed. Zora, Grady, and Niko sprang up out of their seats and stampeded towards the food.

I turned slowly to my left and looked Chad in the eye. "Thanks, but I'm okay now." I winked.

"I know," Chad avoided my eye.

"Cara's over there, ya know," I pointed towards a cluster of Rita's Creek cast. So far, each Studio was keeping towards themselves- Disney, Nick, and us. Rita's and the Fall's were glued to one wall, whispering and dancing with only each other. Cara had her arms draped around David's neck, her silver dress clinging tightly to her body- it was one of those short, tight dresses that sparkled with sequins.

"I know," Chad repeated.

"Shouldn't you be dancing with her?" I asked tightly.

"She seems content with David. I'm allowed to sit with you, you know," Chad offered a small smile.

Just then, Tawni dropped a plate in front of me, adorn with a thick piece of chocolate cake. It looked delicious.

"Happy?" Tawni rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Fork and knife?" I asked, giving her a cartoony smile.

She groaned and dropped two forks on the table.

I held up a fork in front of her face. "This is a fork," I enunciated slowly. "Knifes are those sharp things we cut food with," I nodded every so often, like I was speaking to a stupid child.

Tawni glared at me. "You don't need to cut a slice of cake anyways," She retorted, huffing back to the throng of people.

I sighed as she left. I rose my eyebrows at Chad and tossed him a fork. "I can share!"

"Thanks," Chad took a forkful of cake and ate it delicately.

"So, enjoying the party?" I asked perkily.

"Well," He looked around the crowded room, then at our small, quiet table. "Now I am."

I blushed and bent my head down. But, Chad continued. Take him away from other people and he wasn't actually that bad.

"You're not like other Hollywood girls, Sonny." He looked at me steadily. "You're not a stuck up diva, you're a real person,"

"You're just grateful I didn't give Santiago the tape," I teased. Inside, the complements really meant something.

"Yeah," Chad grinned. "But seriously,"

I smiled in silence, and we finished off the cake.

"Um, would you like to dance?" Chad asked, raising his eyebrows. It's just so adorable how they disappear under his perfect windswept hair.

"Sure," I shrugged. Played it cool.

Inside, I was dancing and screaming.

A slow song was being played, so Chad took my hand, nervously, and we walked towards the dance floor. I smiled gingerly at him and laced my hands around his neck, and he hesitantly put his hands around my waist. He smiled down at me, and I felt so purely happy right now. It was weird, seeing Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas dancing just steps away.

"Chad, what are you doing?" Cara appeared, and stabbed Chad with her demon nails.

"I'm dancing?" Chad shot her a weird Look.

"With me. Come on," Cara pulled at his waist flirtatiously.

"No!" Chad groaned. "Leave me the heck alone! You're so annoying!" Chad shook his head and fixed his eyes back on me.

"Okay, no one talks to-" Cara started threateningly.

"Hey, Cara? Act like an egg and beat it," I smirked. Oh, I just burnt her!

Cara shook her head incredulously at me. "Who even says that?"

I pouted. "Cool people." I gave her a once over. "That dress makes you look fat,"

Cara gasped and lunged at me.

Just then, Niko and Grady were at either side of her, arms firmly grasping her shoulders.

"Let's go," They said together, leading her out of the party.

Then, everyone burst into cheers! It was incredible. Chad gave me a small squeeze and I beamed.

"We finally got rid of her!" I cheered.

We finished the dance, and I was shocked to see Emily Osment from Hannah Montana strode over.

"Are you guys dating?" She asked eagerly. I was so shocked to see her in person, I couldn't answer.

"No!" Chad chuckled. "No, no way."

I leaned back away from him and frowned.

If nothing adds up, tell me why I'm here.
