Wow.

Chapter 10.

We've reached the CHAPTER 10 MARK! WOOO!

Sorry I'm so late guys, I finished that chapter long ago, but my internet's been down for so long along with my power. My power's been out for around 8 hours, and right now I'm at posting at school so yeah...

But without further ado I present... CHAPTER 10!


Chapter 10: Dancing... Can get very interesting.


Lacey POV.

I was officially having a bad day.

And it was only what, five days into school? First, Rosalie had used up the warm water so I had to take a cold shower. Then, I dropped my breakfast on the floor. Then I tripped on my bag and nearly face-planted into the floor. At school. Losing all my papers and stuff in the process. Then I wasn't going to be dancing at the dance party. And lastly... I was just really tired.

I sat there on a couch across from the twins who were playing on their DS, going over the music I was going to be playing during the dance. I was also little depressed that I wasn't going to have time to sit around and watch people. I looked up and watched as Haruhi tried to learn how to dance, and I knew she was getting better. Now she wasn't falling and stepping over her partners feet. I snickered when I saw Tamaki looking at them, all dark and depressed with that black, sad, aura around him.

I looked over to Rosalie who was playing around with her bass on the stage, writing down notes in a small green notebook.

"Rose," I sighed, giving a frown.

"Yeah?" Rosalie turned to me, putting her pen in the base of her pony tail.

I pouted at her, "I'm bored."

"Did you go over your music?"

"Yeah, I've got it. It's pretty easy."

"Well then, I don't know what you should do." Rosalie shrugged and pulled her pen out of her hair again. "Oh, did you get a dress for the dance?" I frowned at that and my shoulders sagged.

"Why should I?" I asked moodily. "We aren't even going to be dancing..." I leaned back and lay on the couch, dangling my feet over the arm rests. I crossed my arms and glared at the ceiling.

"Well it's part of the job." Avery sighed as she read a book with her black converse on the table, right behind Kyouya's laptop.

"It isn't that bad is it? I mean we get to play for hours." Alex murmured as she sat by one of the huge windows at stared out of it.

"Yeah, but... Still."

"Blegh." Rosalie blew out a gust of air and flopped down on the edge of the stage. "Our lives are weird."

"No argument there. I still can't believe all the crazy shit that happens to us."

"I don't think anyone can." I turned my head to Avery when she sighed and watched as she said to Kyouya,

"Can I talk to you outside for a second?" She went to daydreaming Alex by the window and began dragging her by the arm to Kyouya who had walked out the room. "You're coming too." I raised an eyebrow.

"Weird much?"

"Don't look at me." Rosalie raised her hands in defense and stared at me.

"Uggh." I said and draped my arm over my eyes.

"I know what'll make you feel better." I could nearly hear the smile on Rosalie's face, so I lifted my arm a little bit and stared at the iPod screen in front of my eyes. A grin made it's way onto my face as Rosalie walked up to her DJ turn tables and plugged her iTouch into it. I heard a small crash and snickered when I saw that Haruhi had tripped and was currently crouched over the girl who was also getting kind of handsy and close to her. My heart went out to the poor woman. Rosalie turned to Haruhi and her partner and snickered.

"I'm sorry Haruhi, but I'm going to have to interrupt your dancing lesson for the sake of my little sister." I smiled contentedly at that and I closed my eyes and swayed my head to the beautiful beat of the music.

(Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heros ft. Adam Levine)

[Lacey]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note, oh oh
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like it read well, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts

I raised my eyebrows when Rosalie jerked her head at me, gesturing for me to rap instead of her. My hands and arms rose and fell as I rapped out my part.

If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you

[Lacey]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note, oh oh
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

[Lacey and Rosalie]

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo

If I was an old-school fifty pound boombox
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like on the interstate

Once again Rosalie gestured to me, but this time I welcomed the extra part.

I think I finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you

[Lacey]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note, oh oh
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh to sing along to my stereo

I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find
(so hard to find)
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine
(yeah)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind

[Lacey and Rosalie + Avery and Alex]

My heart's a stereo

I looked over to Avery and Alex with wide eyes, who'd apparently come back into the room, and were singing with us.

It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note, oh oh
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you

Just sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh to sing along to my stereo

"Did it help?" Asked Rosalie who was smiling at me from her place on the stage.

"It did, thank you." I said and smiled back.

"I thought your music was a little more hard core." I heard Hikaru say, and I saw Kaoru nod.

"This wasn't our music." I said with a shrug. "It's Gym Class Heros featuring Adam Levine. Stereo Hearts."

"Best song ever." Rosalie said and gave the peace sign. She turned to Haruhi and her parter who were now sitting at a lone table in the room. "You may continue dancing."

"Oh, that was so good! You guys are so talented!" The girl gushed and I gave a small smile.

"Thanks," Rose and I said together. I lay back down on the couch contentedly and Rose came over, so I scooted over just a little bit to give her somewhere to sit. The both of us watched the girl and Haruhi, and we turned our heads when some guy walked in with some sort of order. Rose and I got bored watching the guy and the girl and everyone else in between, so we just decided that it was time for some major planning. Prank planning.

As Rose and I sat snickering darkly and planning the evil tricks we could play on our new and beloved victims, I heard Honey say something about the guy and girl being... Engaged. Slowly Rose and I turned our heads towards the small boy, and slowly we turned back to each other grinning darkly. Giving each other our best evil grins, Rose and I dove back into our malicious planning. Except this time with an evil purpose.


Third Person POV.

The Day of the Dance.

"Yo! Ave!" Rosalie whispered to her friend as they played with the huge orchestra gathered in the huge ballroom.

"Yeah? What?" Avery whispered back, leaning towards her friend a little bit.

"Why is it when that idiot speaks all the girls start fainting and 'kwaii'ing and stuff?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Avery whispered back. "They're all just so dumb."

"Good point."

Rosalie and Avery shut up after that until they'd played for around an hour, when they began complaining to Alex. Alex then took it upon herself to glare daggers at their conductor, until he finally ended the song and let the orchestra players have a 10 minute rest.

"Oh my god..." Lacey said, rubbing her red knuckles and fingers gently. "I don't think my fingers will ever work again."

"I'm with you there," Alex said, massaging the tips of her red fingers. "I thought playing for hours would be a gift, but I never thought it was going to hurt so much."

"Life's a real bitch isn't it?" Rosalie asked giving a pained groan.

"Yep. No argument there." Avery nodded and stretched her arms and hands. She had a quick look around when she suddenly started to move towards a small, unobtrusive door on the other side of the huge ballroom. "Come on! We don't want to miss this." The girls nodded as they followed their friend towards the door.

After waiting for a minute, Avery reached over and grabbed Kyouya's hand, looking at the watch on his wrist.

"Where are they?" She asked, "They should be here," And just then, Mori and Honey came through the doors, with Haruhi on their shoulders. The twins and the girls both pushed Haruhi into the changing room, and threw her a package.

"Get changed!" The girls sang,

"You have 20 minutes Haruhi," Said Kyouya who was looking at his watch.

"AWWWWWW! YAY!" Screamed the sisters when Haruhi came out from changing room with hair extensions and a pink dress that went to just below her knees. "You look so cute!"

"Just wait until we've put on the make up!" Said the twins with equal enthusiasm. "Come on Haruhi, we've got to put on your make up!" With that the twins dragged her to a chair and began to apply a few layers of make up on her, even though everyone could see she wanted to protest.

"Are we even sure this is going to work? I mean, it is that idiot's plan..." Alex asked a little worriedly as they all watched on.

"Of course we don't know if it's going to work, but we can't really do anything about it now." The sister's shrugged and grinned as Hikaru and Kaoru added the finishing touches to Haruhi's face.

"Hey where did-"

"Shut up you moron, we're just supervising Haruhi." Avery interrupted Tamaki's grand entrance into the room before he could annoy her even further. His eyes widened as Haruhi stood up and robotically made her way out the door. Tamaki began to weep a little bit, mumbling that Haruhi was too cute. Until Alex flicked him in the head and snapped at him to shut up.

"My face feels so heavy..." Haruhi mumbled, frowning.

"Just get the guy to come to his senses girl!" The sisters grinned and ushered Haruhi out the door. "And you!" They turned to Tamaki who paled slightly under their gazes.

"Go get the girl!" They grinned kindly at the teenager and he straightened proudly and gladly made his way out the door. With their arms around each other's shoulders, the girls watched proudly after Tamaki and Haruhi. When they turned around though, their eyebrows raised in confusion when they saw Alex holding two black clothing covers in her hands.

"We picked them ourselves." Avery said with a proud smile.

"What-"

"Is going on?" The sister's eyes started to dart around the room suspiciously.

"Chill guys." Avery said with a small chuckle. "I knew how much you guys wanted to dance tonight,"

"Yeah because they kept whining about it." Grumbled Alex who just stuck out her tongue to Avery when she glared at her.

"So, Alex and I made a deal with Kyouya."

"Yeah, Ave would help four-eyes over there with club planning and crap while I did all the heavy work. Oh, and Lacey has to take pictures for the club sometimes."

"Wait, really?" Asked Rosalie with wide eyes. Avery nodded.

"Really really?" This time Lacey asked. Alex rolled her eyes and shoved the covers into the girls arms.

"Yes now go get dressed before I take them back." With that, Alex shoved the girls back into the changing rooms and turned around to the boys. "Now get out of here and do your jobs before I kick your asses."


Rosalie POV.

I stared at myself in the mirror and my heart overflowed with gratefulness for Avery and Alex's good taste. I had a beautiful strapless high low pink dress that came down in a ruffled tail around my feet. It had a beaded design on waist, with a few green rhinestones in the pattern. The bust was sculpted and as I fixed my hair a little bit, I realized something. I had no shoes.

"Shoes! I need shoes you know?" I yelled and a pair of shiny strapped stilettos poked through the yellow curtain, waving from side to side.

"I was wondering when you would notice." I could nearly hear the smirk on Alex's face.

"Hey! I- oh. Thanks." I gave a smile when I heard Lacey yell from the changing room next to me, asking for shoes. I wondered curiously what she would be wearing, and anxious to see it I finally stepped out from behind the curtain to see Alex and Avery waiting for me. Still in the darned black dresses that were our 'uniforms' in the orchestra.

"Aren't you changing too?"

"Nope." Avery said. "The deal was only for you and Lace. We still have to play."

I pouted at my two friends before I walked over to them and gave them both hugs.

"You know I love you two so much right? And that I'll pay you back somehow for this."

"We know Rose." Avery said as she pulled back. We all turned when we heard the rustle of a curtain move, and I grinned wildly as Lacey stepped out.

Lacey was wearing strapless little white dress, that stopped around mid-thigh. Right below the sculpted bust was a beaded vine design that glittered a little in the light. I was nearly drooling when I saw her strappy stilettos. They were gorgeous.

"Beauty," I stuck out my tongue playfully and Lacey just grinned back.

"I love this dress," She cooed and I snickered. "But isn't it a little short?"

"Yes... And no. Actually. I don't really give a shit. It's beautiful and you're wearing it." Avery said with tiny laugh before adding, "Oh, and I took the liberty of inviting few boys too. I picked each one personally."

"Well, thanks for that," Lacey gave a sarcastic smile.

"Come on weirdo, lets go dance! There are boys waiting for us!" I grabbed her arm and began dragging her to the door. I turned to Alex and Avery and said, "See you later," before stepping out into huge ballroom.

It was nice for the first few minutes when Lacey and I made our way into the female crowd (with a few boys mixed in too) to watch the hosts dance with a blushing girl. Nice until people started to turn to us. And stare. Some were awed stares (which I appreciated). Some were a little mean (much less appreciated). I saw Hikaru and Kaoru standing by them selves they looked at me and Lacey and gave us both thumbs ups, which Lacey and I returned. Nevertheless, Lacey and I continued to stand arm in arm, until suddenly felt a tiny tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a boy, one with dark brown eyes and short black hair smiling at me. I gave a small smile back, and I thought he looked a little bit familiar to me.

"Yes?"

"It's Rosalie right?" The boy asked.

"The one and only."

"This is your party? I was told to come just now so I honestly have no idea what is happening. I was invited to come here today by a girl in my class." The boy blushed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"What would her name be?" I asked, hoping it was who I thought it was so I could kill her.

"An Avery Wolf. She's a new kid." I felt Lacey's aura darken behind me, and I thought I heard her say:

"I'll kill that bitch, I will," I ignored it though since the boy didn't seem to notice.

"I don't really know what's going on either, but I'm going along with it. Avery's my friend and I've come to trust her." The boy nodded before he confidently held out a hand.

"Care to dance?" Finally my head clicked and I grinned widely at the boy.

"I remember you! You're in my dance class! Even though you're a grade above me, well then, every one in dance class is a grade above me"

He nodded again. "Yes, you're right. And well, you are in the advanced dance class, so that is a little expected."

"Uhh..." I racked my brain for his name. "Osaka Ichirou right? Please tell me I got it right."

He chuckled lightly, "You got it right, it's okay."

I smiled at that and took his still outstretched hand. "I would love to dance Osaka-sempai,"

"Oh come on, don't be so formal. To you, I'm just Ichirou. We'll be seeing each other a lot from now on since we have dance class together."

I felt my grin widen as we made our way to the dance floor, and I turned to him, placing my right hand in his, and putting my left on his shoulder. "Alright Ichirou-san,"

As we began to move I looked around to see Lacey dancing with another guy, one with brown hair and pretty brown eyes. She seemed to be having fun.

I felt stares bore into my back and Ichirou-san and I made our dance a little more interesting by adding a few spins and turns. It wasn't hard considering we were both dancers, but maybe the fact that Ichirou was a great partner helped a lot.

"This is awesome," I giggled, giddy from the dancing.

"It is," I heard Ichirou respond, "The view from here is just as awesome though,"

I blushed a bright red (damn my traitorous cheeks) and looked at Ichirou who was looking down at me through my lashes. "Thanks..."

"It's the truth," He gave me an encouraging grin when I looked up at him. I looked away from my parter for just a second and I saw Hikaru staring (maybe glaring) at me and Ichirou with intense interest. I gave him what I hoped was a go-focus-on-your-partner-so-you-don't-look-like-an-ass look and turned my gaze back to Ichirou.

After a little while I realized Ichirou and I were the only ones waltzing on the dance floor, so we stepped it up just a tiny bit to give everyone a little show. All we did was add a few more spins and fancy footwork here and there, but it was enough to get every one to stare at us for the rest of the song.

I definitely wasn't jumping for joy when the song ended, but it did help to hear the loud applause everyone was giving Ichirou and I. He gave a small bow before taking my hand and leading me forward a bit, trying to get me to give a little curtsy. I obliged. The crowd continued to clap for a few more seconds until everyone finally began moving towards the huge open balcony.

"Lets go." I said tugging at Ichirou's arm. "I've got a little part I need to play." When everyone had made their way onto the balcony, I pushed my way forward to the hosts, stil dragging Inchirou with me.

"Hey, nice footwork out there." Said Avery smiling as I arrived at the scene.

"Yeah, who's your dance partner?" Alex asked.

"Oh, girls, guys," I turned to the hosts, but I still had my arms wrapped around Ichirou's elbow. "This is Ichirou, he's in my dance class."

"Nice to meet you," Everyone chorused.

"I gotta say," Hikaru said with a forced grin.

"We love how our dresses look on you." Kaoru finished for him.

"You made these?" I exclaimed and they nodded.

"You look so cute!" Honey-sempai squeaked, and Mori-sempai nodded,

"Beautiful." I stared at him a little bit because it was the first time I'd ever heard him speak, with his low voice and all, but my moment was interrupted by Kyouya.

"I agree, but we need to get on with the show."

"Of course we do." Grumbled Alex as she turned to the dancing couple in the courtyard.

When the dance ended though, I grabbed the mic from Tamaki before he could say another word.

"The winner for the kiss from our one and only Tamaki is this beautiful woman right here," I spoke into the mic, but before I could even continue, I felt the mic get snatched away from me. I glared at the twins for a second until they said,

"Oh, the kiss has been changed. It will now be Fujioka Haruhi giving it." I grinned and gave them the thumbs up, and pointed to the idle banana peels Lacey had placed inconspicuously on the steps. They grinned back and pointed to Haruhi who was about to kiss the girl on the cheek, so Lacey leaned over and whispered to the blond moron,

"You know it might just be me but... I think this is going to be her first kiss..." causing him to shoot forward yelling,

"Stop the kiss!" Until he slipped on Lacey's perfectly placed banana peel and basically pushed Haruhi into a full kiss. With a girl.

With a bright flash Lacey had a picture of the disturbing moment with a huge black Canon camera she'd pulled from nowhere and gave me the thumbs up. It was at that point the twins and I began to laugh hysterically and somehow ended up whacking Alex upside the head.

Snap! Lacey took a picture of that.

Snap! A picture of Tamaki crying hysterically.

Snap! A picture of the twins laughing.

Snap! A picture of Avery trying to detach a clinging and crying Tamaki.

SNAP! DAMMIT! A picture of me falling on my butt and pulling Ichirou on top of me. I stopped laughing and glared at Lacey as Ichirou got up and started blushing like mad, rubbing the back of his head.

"Delete it." I snarled, and Lacey smirked and I knew she wasn't going to. So I did the only thing I could have done. I chased her around. In heels.

It's hard, but I can manage it. The same way that I was going to manage to get that camera and hopefully delete that DAMN embarrassing picture. Then again, I'm a lazy person, so I took the shoes off and threw them somewhere behind me.

But I think I hit Kaoru in the head with one of my heels when I threw them off...


I know you probably want to visually see the dresses that Lacey and Rosalie wore, and since I usually like to find dresses from the internet to help me describe better, and have a really cool dress I know won't look ridiculous here are the links to see! Hope you liked the chappy! :)
