Piper's POV

Oh my lanta I was dancing with James Maslow.

My brain was screaming, refusing to let me think. Heheh. The blonde a couple of yards away? Looked like she and her brain were screaming. That's right, probably famous chick! You can suck it, cuz James Maslow's mine tonight.

Well, that was a little overdramatic, but you get the picture. James and I danced for three songs without a word. About halfway through "TickTock", he just stopped and walked away with no explanation.

Oh. Guess that was just a quick little "Hey birthday girl, wanna dance so I can be your 10 minute fantasy before I crush your dreams?". Hey blonde girl? I think I'm the sucker right now.

But then he stopped in the middle of the dance floor, turning around with a confused look plastered across his face. I had been looking down, but somehow I could feel his eyes on me. I snapped my head up, and sure enough, he was motioning for me to follow.

Cuz the party don't start 'til I walk in.

Carlos's POV

Aw man! Turns out this girl was almost as hot as James claims he is.

When she dragged Kendall towards us with her jaw nearly on the ground, I knew we'd have some kind of a fighting chance with her. She just stood there and blinked at all of us, un-purposely batting her lashes.

Any kind of guy you want, girl

It's not like we could call dibbs or anything while she and Kendall were standing there, so this whole night depended on which one of us she'd let adore her.

That's the kind I'll be

She looked into Logan's eyes. She seemed pretty impressed. Damn. I lost her before she could even look at me.

Apparently Logan didn't impress her that much. She stared into my eyes next.

Was it just me or did she look at me longer? I licked my lips and started to smile, and just as she started to smile back…

James cleared his throat.

Fuck you, James.

I knew it was too late. There's no saving her now, when James has his predator face on.

Her gaze shot to his puppy dog eyes, barely even registering who he was, and to tell the truth, James must have forgotten who she was, because he whisked her away to the dance floor without a second thought. Little did Kendall know, James didn't even know her name. Kendall's mouth snapped open as if in protest, but quickly shut. He stood there shaking his head. The three of us stared after them, probably thinking the same thing; That's got to be a record.
