Chapter 10: The school dance

Tina pov

"Dammit!" I yelled. I stared to the black spot of mascara on my nose. I sighted of frustration. Why everything goes wrong lately?

"What's the matter sweetheart? You look beautiful." My mother said. "No doubt you're going to be prom queen!"

"I- it's not a prom mum." I murmured. "It's just a school dance…"
And even if it was I wouldn't be prom queen… Even if I were the only girl present I wouldn't be…

"Oh." My mother said, a bit disappointedly. "Well, that's also nice…. I can't wait to meet the mysterious boy who's your date for tonight!"

If she would have pulled a camera out of her pocket I wouldn't have been surprised. The idea of me going to a dance with a boy made mother go all eagerly and girly. The last time she had acted like this was at the first day I went to high school. It was a pleasant but weird contrast with the 'not at home and too busy to pay attention to anything '- mother she usually was.

She started spraying more hairspray in my hair, but since I hadn't done anything special with it was a complete and utter waste of spray.
I sighted. "Mum I told you hairspray i- i- isn't necessary. M- my hair looks the same as always."

"Oh." She stopped spraying, and studied my hair critically. "Sweetie I know I've said it before but I really think you should get rid of those blue strings in your hair."

"Mum p- please!"

"Okay, okay… I'll leave you alone. Tonight is a big night!" She said, and she smiled brightly.

Once she had left my room I sat down on my bed, fiddling the sequins of my glittering black dress. I glanced to the clock. My date, Mike Chang, would be here any minute.

After the whole Puck and Santana thing I had initially decided not to go to the dance any more. But when Mike asked me to go with him after yesterday's biology class, I changed my mind. After all it didn't happen very often, a guy asking me on a date. (Read: that had never happened before.)
The rumor (well the fact actually) that Puck had been dating me, but then cheated on me with another girl, had spread through the school within less than two hours, according to Kurt. But unlike I'd expected, it hadn't influenced my rep on a negative way. On the contrary, Kurt told me that I was more popular than ever. Of course that still wasn't very popular, but I indeed noticed that I had received less slushie facials the past few days…. And Mike Chang had asked me for the dance. I definitely hadn't seen that one coming, but it felt like an opportunity, a change to make a fresh start and forget about Noah Puckerman.
And even though he was not as handsome as Puck, Mike was a nice guy. A really nice guy.

Just a nice guy…

Puck crossed my mind again. His sweet but playful smile, his deep dark brown eyes, his low comforting voice, his kiss. I remembered how his jokes made me laugh, and how his touch made my body go all tingly inside.
No. Stop. Puck is over. Think about Mike. MIKE.

The doorbell rang.
"Tiiinaaa! There's a handsome young man standing outside the door!" My mum yelled.
I jumped up and glanced in the mirror one last time. Glittery silver eyeliner… check. Perfectly plucked eyebrows… check. Nude- looking but secretly not nude lips…. check.
I looked as good as possible, I had a date, my mother had even helped me prepare… I should be happy. I should be looking forward this dance. But for some reason I wasn't.

This is by far the worst school dance ever!
And not only because Tina was dancing with the other Asian (whose name I couldn't remember… was it Mark? Clark? Jim?). It was also because of… the bad music… and the 'not more than four alcoholic drinks'- rule… and…Fuck it, who am I kidding?
It was just because of Tina and the Asian dude.

I sighted, and leaned against the wall. She looked freakin' gorgeous. She was wearing black high heels and a black glittering strapless dress, showing off her good figure. Her hair looked silky and soft as always, and her eyes… oh those sparkly kitty- eyes…
The only problem was the guy that was dancing with her.

I sighted again and took a sip from my beer. "Looks like it's just you and me tonight…" I muttered.
I hadn't arrived alone (duuuuh) but my date (some red- haired cheerleader whose name I'd also forgotten) was gone with the wind.

I looked around and saw some familiar faces. Santana and Brittany dancing close to each other; Mr. Schue doing some funky moves to impress Ms. Pillsbury; and Finn and Quinn moving slow together. I felt a twinge of jealousy in my heart. For a brief second I hated Finn. Not because he had Quinn, but because he had somebody. And because he had Quinn's baby. My baby. I had once sworn to be a better dad than my father, but I was going to be an even worse one. I was going to leave my child even before it was born. A new record… I thought sarcastically.

Suddenly I spotted my in tiger print dressed date. She was making out with a guy who I recognized as Karogski's squirrel brained friend. The one I had kicked in his nuts.
Haha… squirrel… his nuts… I snickered. Too bad I couldn't share this awesome word joke with Tina.

Damn my feet hurt… these high heels are killing me!
A part of me desperately wanted to go home, sit down on the couch, and grab a bag of crisps, but another (bigger) part of me refused to leave. I was going to stay and have a nice time, just like everybody else.
Suddenly I spotted Puck, my breath caught in my throat. He was wearing dark- grey jeans with a simple black shirt, the two upper buttons opened. He was staring blankly into the distance and I quickly looked back to Mike, before he would catch me looking at him.

"Is there something wrong?" Mike had to yell to drown the music.

I realized I probably looked very troubled, so I quickly thought up an excuse. "I- it's nothing, I- I just need some fresh air I think!"

"Why don't we go outside for a few minutes then?"

Going outside with Mike. Alone. He looked at me with a questioning look in his brown eyes.
Don't be such an exaggerator Tina, you're just going to get some fresh air. I actually really wanted to go outside. I kind of hated big crowds and it was extremely hot here inside. The gym wasn't really calculated for this much people.
I nodded. "Let's go!"

Mike grabbed my hand and guided me to the exit through the mass of dancing classmates.

Once outside I inhaled deeply. The fresh evening air felt even better than I'd expected. Mike walked towards the side of the gym and I followed him.

"Are you alright?" Mike asked when I put on a painful face.

"Yeah, b- but these heels are awful! I- I think my feet are going to die!"

He laughed. It was a weird sound; I'd never heard him laugh before. I realized I actually didn't know anything about him.
"So… umm… d- do you have a- any hobbies?"

He gave me a weird glance. "Why are you asking?"

"J- just trying to make small talk…." I said. I felt really uncomfortable, and shivered. It was actually pretty cold outside.

"Are cold?" He asked, and he put his arm around me.

It didn't feel bad but not particularly good either. I looked around me. It was really dark. Gee they really should put a lamppost or something here…..
It was really quiet as well. I could vaguely hear the beat of the music inside, and Mike's irregular breathing.

Suddenly he turned around, so that he was facing me. He pushed me against the brick wall of the gym kind of harshly, and pushed his body against mine. His face was so close our nose tips nearly touched. I don't like where this is going….
"Ummmm M- mike, I- I think there's some m- miscommunication here… could you… p- please give some space?"

He grinned. "I could but I won't. You didn't think I asked you for the dance, just to dance did you?"

Something is his smile send cold shivers down my spine. Suddenly I felt afraid. It was dark and we were all alone and… because of the loud music nobody would hear me scream…
I banned these ridiculous thought out of my head. I've watched too many horror- movies and episodes of Criminal Minds lately! This was Mike Chang, a nice guy from school, not some insane serial- killer.

Next chap will be the last chap… I think ;)

Please review and stay tuned beloved readers!
