Avengers kids at high school chapter 6
Friday afternoon
Nobody's POV
"Mum! I'm leaving to get ready at Athena's place!" Lauren shouted down the hallway.
"Sure honey, have a good night!" Her mum called back
Lauren lugged a suitcase down the road as she walked towards Athena's place. It was only a short walk because Athena's lived around the corner from Lauren. She walked up the front steps and knocked on the door before entering. Lauren was all jittery from excitement. "Hey Athena." She shouted
"Hey come in, come in. We are just waiting for Tomi." She rolled her eyes.
"Late as always." Lauren replied "Ok I brought a curler, a hair straightener and some other things. Oh and make-up especially make up."
Stella's eyes glittered at the mention of make-up. "So Lauren what're you wearing?"
"Of course a green dress."
"Nice choice." Tomi said appearing behind her.
"Hey Tomi!" Stella waved
"Guys, we only have three hours until we gotta go. Let's get a move on." Tomi said clapping her hands.
An hour went past of brushing hair, straightening or curling. Putting on jewellery, or make-up and more. Two hours went by in a flash as they got ready for the dance.
"Hey guys, anyone know whether Carmen's coming?" Stella asked while slipping silver earing in her ear.
"I don't think she's coming. She isn't the type to show, because she knows there's going to be shitty music." Lauren answered
"True, I just hope the music is going to better than last years, it was tragic." Tomi said
There was a knock on the door and Athena's mum rushed to go get it. "Oh hello, you guys look smart." The girls could hear Athena's mum greeting the guys. "You guys can wait in the living room while the girls finish getting ready."
The girls grinned at each other and tried to hurry up and put the finishing touches on. Lauren was the first to walk out. She wore a lime green dress that was strapless. The top was kind of a heart shaped and in the middle had a silver ribbon that tied up on the side. The dress had green and black sought of pattern in it. To match the silver ribbon, she wore silver jewellery and silver sparkly heels. The dress fell just above her knees. Her chestnut brown hair was straightened and hung loosely down her back. Brendan got up as soon as she entered the room.
The boys started clapping and she did a little spin as if she was a model. "Isn't the dress just magic?" She asked and winked. Brendan went over and gave her a small kiss. They left the room to go and chat.
The next to come out was Athena. She wore a sapphire blue dress that was adorned with blue sequins and beads on the top half of the dress. In the middle of the dress was a turquoise coloured ribbon that tied up on the back. She wore black 6 inch stilettos, with a necklace that had a turquoise gem in the middle. Athena had her hair in a bun with a French roll that swirled up into the bun. The dress brought out her crystal blue eyes.
She did a spin and Porthos stood up and put his hand at the small of her back to guide her out the room.
Then Stella walked in with a dark purple dress that was incredibly short. The dress was strapless and there was black lace that decorated around the top half of the dress. The dress had a sweetheart neckline that looked perfect on her. It was outlined with a darker purple and the bottom of the dress was outlined with more black lace. A dark purple ribbon that was the same purple that outlined the dress was tied up in a bow at the back. Under the ribbon the dress was gathered. She wore light purple heels that had a light purple braid running up the middle of her foot that stopped at her ankles. Stella's hair was slightly curled and it fell over her shoulders and it swayed as she walked.
She smiled and curtseyed and Daniel's mouth dropped. And she seemed satisfied with his reaction. She sat down next to him and crossed her legs seductively.
Then Tomi strutted in with a short red strapless dress. It had a sweetheart neckline and it had a white ribbon that tied up on the side. The bottom was frilly that hugged her curves perfectly. She wore a gold necklace, and the chain almost looked like snake skin. Hanging of the chain was a gold heart with a ruby in the middle of it. She wore black high heels that had lots of straps on it. Her hair was straightened and it fell loosely down her back. She added red streaks to her hair that matched the dress.
Harry got up "You look great Tomi." He stuttered, He gave her small, awkward hug.
Harry pulled away and asked "Daniel what time is it?"
Daniel lifted up his hand a flipped the watch around. "Time to go." He smoothly got up pulling Stella with him.
The four of them walked out to meet up with the other four. "Hey guys we gotta go." Tomi announced. "My dad booked a limo so he should arrive in any minute."
"Can we all fit?" Porthos asked
Tomi just rolled her eyes "He booked a ten seater, and there are eight of us." A loud beep sounded outside. "That'd be the limo."
They all walked outside with the girls strutting behind the guys. The girls climbed into the limo carefully knowing that there dresses are really short.
Half an hour later they arrived at their destination. They entered the lobby and the girls gasped. The lobby was really fancy and everything was pristine clean, and it had beautiful chandeliers. "Wow." Athena exclaimed
"Well this is fancy." Lauren stated
"Yeah, the school has actually made a lot of effort." Daniel said
"Thank god! If they did a crappy hall with a really shit DJ, I would leave." Tomi said
"Agreed." Stella said
"Anyway, let's not dawdle here, and get into the dance." Harry sighed and started walking to the entrance.
They followed after him and the girls gasped again at the next room. It was dark with only colourful lights glowing around the room for lighting. The disco ball in the middle sent shards of light glittering around the room. "Let's go get a drink Harry." Tomi said guiding him over to the bar which was serving soft drinks. They came back with glasses in their hands.
"HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" A familiar voice shouted
"CARMEN?" Everyone said in sync. The girls looked at each other with surprised looks on their faces. Carmen was wearing light blue skinny jeans, with a matching blue singlet top. She wore a black lace mid-drift over the top of her singlet. It was a typical Carmen look. The speakers suddenly sounded with the song Shots by LMFAO. Immediately people started rocking it out on the dance floor. The only bad thing, Carmen wasn't playing the clean version so the teachers looked at her horrified. Everyone in the group smiled at their friend.
"Would you dance with me Tomi." Harry said with a cheeky grin on his face
"Of course." Tomi smiled. The couple walked on the dance floor and started dancing with each other.
Porthos just looked at Athena and took her hand and pulled her towards the dance floor. "Would you like a drink first, before we go on the dance floor?" Daniel asked Stella
"Yeah sure." They walked off towards the bar.
Brendan and Lauren were left standing there awkwardly. Lauren gave Brendan a knowing look and pulled him by the arms to join the crowd. After about half an hour Carmen said she'd be taking a break, and put on a steady, slow song.
"Hey I'm just going to go outside to get some air." Daniel told Stella.
She nodded and said "Sure, I'm going to get another drink."
Carmen's POV
Wow being a DJ is fun. Maybe I should take it up for a job. I can't wait to see everybody's faces when they see what I have in store for them. I walked out of the hall to go outside for some air. It's really stuffy inside the dance room. I walked around the side of the building so that teachers wouldn't ask me to come back in.
When I turned around the corner I saw Daniel full on making out with this dude in our year. What the fuck? Daniel's gay? I am so going to fucking kill him. Stella is going to be so heartbroken. I silently took a photo making sure that they didn't see me. They seemed to be so caught up in the moment that they didn't even notice me. I walked back into the building to go find Lauren. I spotted her green dress and ran towards her.
"Hey Lauren guess what! Daniel's gay." I exclaimed
"WHAT! You must be wrong, how do you know?" She asked sceptically
I held up the photo so she could see it. She gasped and put her hand over her mouth. "What are we going to do about Stella?" She asked
"Get Nathan to comfort her." I replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I've got to tell Brendan." She walked away quickly making sure she didn't trip in her high heels.
I sighed as I tried to find the others. And especially Stella.
Nobody's POV
Carmen searched frantically for Stella among the crowd. She saw her leaning against the bar with a drink in her hand. She was talking to Tomi and Harry. Carmen quickly ran over to her.
"Hey guys, I have to tell you something really important before I go back to Dj-ing."
They looked at me and grinned. "Hey Carmen. You didn't tell us you were going to be the Dj. And nice job on song choices, but you do realise you'll probably get a detention for the whole term." Tomi said
"Yeah, I don't care about that." Carmen said brushing it off quickly. "Look Stella I don't know how to tell you this. But…Daniel is gay."
Stella looked as if she didn't believe her. "Carmen have you had anything to drink tonight?"
"No I'm serious." Carmen pulled out her phone and showed her the photo on her phone. Stella gasped and her eyes filled with tears.
Nathan walked over to them with grins. "Hey guys, how's it going?" He asked
Stella looked up at him and ran for the exit crying. Nathan looked at Tomi, Harry and Carmen with a questioning look. "Was it something I did?" They shook their head, Carmen just showed him the photo as if it answered everything. Nathan just shook his head slowly with a menacing look on his face. He walked away towards the exit with his fist scrunched into a ball. They looked after him with worried looks.
Stella's POV
"Look Stella I don't know how to tell you this. But…Daniel is gay." Carmen's words echoed in my head. Daniel…gay? As if. That is not even possible. One, he asked me to go to the dance. Two, someone that cute cannot be gay. And Three, Daniel is just not gay!
"Carmen have you had anything to drink tonight?" I asked. Carmen must have had some form of alcohol this afternoon, because what she is saying is just logically impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. Daniel likes me, so how can he be gay? She held up a photo of two guys making-out. It took me a while for my brain to actually register that Daniel is one of the guys. My eyes filled with unshed tears. Daniel had been playing me this whole time?
Nathan walked over to us with a grin on his face. "Hey guys, how's it going?" He asked. He then looked at my face and tears started overflowing out of my eyes. I ran out of the room ashamed not looking back. Planning to just run anywhere but near Daniel.
Nobody's POV
Nathan left the dance in search of Stella. He found her crying outside near the parking lot. He slowly walked closer to her unsure of what to do. He doesn't like these situations when girls cry. He just doesn't know what to say or do. He feels like he always makes the situation worse. And half the time he doesn't even know what they are saying. When girls cry he feels like they are speaking a different language. Stella was sitting quietly on the front steps with her head in her hands, silently crying. Her hair hanging over her face, shielding her from other people seeing her emotions. Nathan slowly sat down next to her and she looked up with tears running down her face.
Nathan felt really awkward. He really didn't know what to say that would make her feel better.
"Hey Stella, don't take any notice of Daniel. He is just another jerk who you shouldn't spend your time crying over." Nathan said in a hushing tone. She cried harder. "Look, you'll find a guy who is perfect you, someone who will care for you. For example when you're crying."
She laughed a small laugh and wiped her eyes quickly. "Your right. I just feel so stupid because I liked a guy who turned out to be gay. That has never happened to me and it was just a shock. But know I just feel really angry, so many emotions it's ridiculous."
"So are you feeling better? Are you over him?" Nathan asked slowly
"Yes, definitely. How can I like a guy who is gay?" Stella laughed
Nathan got up slowly and held his hand out. She grabbed it and he hulled her up in one swift motion. "You right to go back to the dance?"
"Yep." She said "Oh my gosh, did I screw my makeup from crying."
"No surprisingly. I here girls I meant to look really shit when they cry." Nathan said. She just slapped him on the arm.
He started walking back inside and she silently followed close behind him. They entered back into the hall and Tomi quickly grabbed Tomi and pulled her over to the bar. They started chatting almost immediately. Harry walked over to Nathan and clapped him on the back.
"Good job. So are you going to confess yet?" Harry asked
"I could ask you the same thing." Nathan retorted
"Fine, let's confess to them both now." Harry said
"Fine, but you have to swear to me that you won't chicken out." Nathan said
"I swear. Let's do this shit." Harry said.
They casually walked over to the girls who were leaning against the bar. They looked up when they reached them.
"Hey guys." Tomi said
"Hey we have something important to tell you." Harry said. Nathan rolled his eyes because he sounded so cheesy. They girls looked curious as to what they had to say. Harry and Nathan looked at each other and nodded.
But suddenly steam started coming out of the air vents. Everyone in the room started murmuring in wonder. The steam kept pouring out until it was so thick you couldn't see the person in front of you.
Stella grabbed Tomi by the hand and whispered. "Hey, swap places."
"Sure."
They swapped places and leant against the wall like they had been. The steam started to clear and both Nathan and Harry had their eyes closed. Then both of them at the same time said "I really like you." They opened their eyes to find the wrong girl. The boy's faces were of pure shock. Tomi and Stella looked at each other and cracked up laughing.
5 minutes later
"Hahahaha That… was… priceless." Stella laughed
"Hahahaha… I…know…right." Tomi could barely get her words out.
Nathan and Harry stood there silently. "You girls done yet?" Harry sighed
"Give us a few months." Tomi said
"Yeah, we need to go to the bathroom." Stella said pulling Tomi along to the bathrooms.
Both boys looked at each other and shrugged. "Do you know what just happened?" Harry asked
"Nup." Nathan replied
"Thank god I'm not the only one. Let's get a drink." Harry said walking over to grab a drink.
"So is that what you call rejection or what? What was that?" Nathan asked
Harry just shrugged. "It wasn't a definite answer."
The girls came walking towards them with grins on their faces. Tomi walked over to Harry and pulled him away to give them privacy. Stella walked forward and gave Nathan a kiss on the cheek. "I accept your feelings, and I really like you too." She said. Nathan let out a breath and smiled. "Hey can we go home soon, I'm really tired. Do you know what time it is?"
Nathan flicked his wrist so that he could read his watch. "It's 10:45. It should be ending soon."
"Ok let's find the others so we can go home."
Tomi and Harry walked over to them holding hands. "Hey, let's go find the others so we can go home." Nathan said
They walked among the crowd trying to find Brendan and Lauren. They eventually found them talking to this guy with dirty blond hair. He had a green eyes and a friendly sought of smile. Brendan looked up noticing them walking to them and smiled. "Hey guys, what up?" He asked
"Hey we should leave soon." Stella said
"Oh hey, would you guys like to stay the night at my place. My parents won't be home." Harry said with an excited smile.
Everyone nodded in excitement. "Would you mind if Leo came with us too. He was meant to stay the night at my place." Brendan asked
"Yeah that's fine. Besides my parents said it was fine you guys came over." Harry said with a cheeky grin.
"Hey someone should tell Carmen the plan." Lauren said. No one looked like they could be bothered so she rolled her eyes and said "Fine." She walked away quickly. They stood there chatting about random stuff until Carmen had to end the dance. They walked back into the lobby to wait for Carmen and the limo. She walked over with Lauren and the group started making their way to the car park.
As they got into the car Harry shouts "My place here we come." He told the driver his address and as soon as he was in the limo they whizzed off towards Harry's place.
