Chapter 12:

Prom Night (Part 2)

Meanwhile Dana had been dancing with Alek. She was having so much fun with him. She never thought when she came to this school she'd have a really cute guy fall in love with her and they'd be dancing on cloud nine at the prom. After their slow dance Alek went to get them some snacks and she was going to sit down. She wasn't used to wearing heels for very long, normally she just wore some sneakers and called it a day. But now her feet were extremely sore.

She was probably paying too much attention to her feet because she ended up running into Yasmin. "Sorry…!"

"Hey, esta bien. Don't worry about it," Yasmin said. She looked at Dana's long lavender dress. "I like your dress."

Dana was surprised by a compliment from a Bratz girl. "Thanks." She couldn't help but feel like she looked like she just came out of the good will compared to Yasmin. The dress she wore hugged her figure and the colors really brought out the beauty in her.

Yasmin tucked a curl behind her ear. "So, are you having fun with Alek?"

Dana nodded. "Yeah. He's a really nice guy."

"Good, I think you're a cute couple." She knew that she and her friends had sworn that they didn't like Dana, but Yasmin couldn't completely hate her. She wasn't a bad girl; Sasha just over reacted a lot. When her friends weren't around putting the girl down, Yasmin felt like the two of them could maybe be friends.

"You think so? I thought you wanted him to be with Sasha," Dana said once again surprised.

Yasmin shrugged. "I mean, I did. But I don't know, you two es una linda pareja."

Before Dana could ask what that meant, Alek came over to them and put his arm around her. "Hey babe. Hey Yasmin."

"Hola. I'll leave you two alone now. Have you seen Cade?"

"I think he was over there talking to Dylan," Alek said.

"Thanks," Yasmin said leaving.

They sat down at a nearby table with the fruit and drinks Alek brought them.

"I'm having a great time with you," Dana said.

He held her hand. "Me too Dana. Have they been bothering you about it still?"

Dana shook her head. "No, I've hardly spoken to them. Well, except for when I spoke to Yasmin just now, but not really…" Suddenly someone tripped over her foot. "Ouch!"

Sasha glared at her. "Geez Dana, are you trying to kill me?"

"Leave her alone Sasha, it was just an accident," Alek said.

Sasha put her hand on her hip. "Isn't that cute? Your boyfriend is protecting you." She snickered. "You're wasting your time on her Alek."

Dana stood up and got in her face. "You're just jealous Sasha. Leave us alone."

Sasha slowly pushed her back. "Yeah, first of all I sure as hell am not jealous of you. And second, stay out of my face if you want to keep your teeth."

"Why do you have to be so rude all the time? You're not getting anyone to like you that way if that's what you think," Alek said.

"Alek, I'll have you know a lot of people happen to like me."

He snorted. "I don't see why."

Justin came over to Sasha. "What are you doing over here?"

"I was trying to find you but new girl over here tripped me up," Sasha said nodding towards Dana.

Justin looked at Alek. "'Sup bro."

Alek nodded at him. "Hey. You having fun with that?" he said pointing to Sasha.

Sasha was about to said some smart comment back at him but Justin put his arm over her shoulders. "You bet. Come on Sasha." He dragged her away from them.

Cameron pulled Cloe off the dance floor and off to the side. She giggled. "What are you doing?"

He smirked and kissed her neck. "Just a little of this."

She laughed and pushed him off her. "Well come over here then," she said pulling him into the corner.

He started kissing her again. "You know what song would be perfect right now?" he said as his arms snaked around her waist and his lips returned to her neck.

"Take You Down?" she guessed.

"Oh yeah," he said.

Her hands tangled in his wavy hair. "Mmm, you just can't wait, can you?"

His hands drifted to the straps on her dress. "I wanna see what's under here baby."

Cloe giggled and moved his hands and continued to kiss him.

Dana was walking past and heard something. She peeked around the corner curiously and saw Cloe and Cameron. She gasped and stumbled back catching herself on the wall.

They broke their kisses and turned around. Cloe glared at Dana and put her hand on her hip. "What do you want Dana? Hasn't anyone ever told you about privacy?"

Dana got off the wall and regained her balance on her heels. "Of course…"

"Well let me remind you since you've obviously forgotten. When I'm making out with Cam, you stay away and don't interrupt. Got it?"

"Look, I didn't mean to interrupt anything…"

Cameron leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. "No worries Dana." Cloe flashed him a "you're not helping" look.

Dana smiled at him. At least she had a nice boyfriend. "Thanks Cameron." She walked off avoiding eye contact with Cloe.

"Why do you have to be so harsh all the time?" Cameron asked.

Cloe crossed her arms. "She had no right to be over here."

"All I'm saying is you don't have to be so mean to her all the time. I've talked to her, she's a nice girl…"

Cloe elbowed him. "You've talked to her?"

Cameron elbowed her back. "You know what I mean. You don't need to be so mean to her."

Cloe looked at him for a moment knowing he was right. She just took his arm and gave him a quick kiss. "Come on, they're playing our song."

Jade sat at a table by herself looking out at the crowds of students. Everyone seemed to be having so much fun. She was having fun too, sometimes. But then she'd see Koby with Diona or they'd play some romantic song and she wouldn't be able to focus on Dylan anymore. Her friends would say that she should act like she was really having fun with Dylan and make Koby jealous or something, especially since Dylan and Koby were actually good friends, and any other day that's what she would have done. She just didn't realize how hard it would be to do something like that to the guy you loved. All she wanted right now was for this night to be over.

She looked up and saw Koby coming towards her. She quickly looked away pretending not to notice him.

"What are you doing over here all by yourself?" he asked.

She shrugged. "I don't know. Just taking a break I guess." She still didn't look at him.

"You mind if I sit next to you?"

"Go ahead." He sat down. They were silent for a moment. "Are you having fun with Diona?"

"I guess," he said fiddling with the table cloth. "Something's missing though."

She took a risk looking at him. He was looking at the floor. "What is it?"

"I've just been thinking about someone else all night. What about you? Are you having fun with Dylan?"

She shrugged. "Something's missing."

"What's missing?"

She hesitated for a moment. "You." She expected him to get up and walk away or laugh at her. Instead he took her hand and kissed her. She stared at him for a moment surprised.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"You don't need to be sorry for kissing me," she said.

He smiled. "Not for kissing you but…for everything else. I still love you. I don't want to lose you forever. I mean…if you love him now…"

She put her finger over his lips. "No, I don't love him. I don't give a damn about him." She felt like she'd start crying. "I'm sorry too…I didn't want to break up for good but…I thought you hated me…"

He hugged her. "I don't hate you." He looked into her eyes. "I could never hate you Jade."

She kissed his lips very passionately. They opened their mouths to taste each other. Feeling his strong arms around her and touching him like this again felt so good. She craved it.

Dylan came over and froze when he saw Jade kissing Koby. "Jade? What the hell?"

They both looked up from their kiss. "Sorry Dyl, Koby and I are kind of back together," Jade said.

"Dude, you can't just steal my date!" Dylan exclaimed.

"She was my girl first man," Koby said. "Hey dude, you know what, go find Diona."

Dylan raised his eyebrows still mad at him. "Why?"

"She doesn't have a date anymore either. I think you two would be perfect together right about now."

Dylan glared at both of them. "Whatever."

Just as he left Usher started playing.

"I'm hoping that this ain't too hard to believe
Cause baby, you're the only one for me
I know it gets hard when I'm moving in and outta state
But I promise my heart for you I would save

Just remember that...

No matter how far I go
And no matter how long it takes
No one or nothing can change
Forever yours here I stand…."

"Take You Down" is by Chris Brown (really hot song)

"Here I Stand" is by Usher

Dana had some kind of confrontation with all of the Bratz at this prom (except Jade). Poor Dylan, he finally got the girl of his dreams only to have he rtaken away again. Did i mention Koby and Dylan are (were?) best friends?
