"So are we going to do something together before the dance or all to their own?" Lissa asked as we sat down for lunch. It's been a week since the whole incident in the mall, and since Adrian "accidently" leaked the video online. While Tasha managed to reign in the ridicule on her, no one listened to her smack talking about me and instead a lot of people have started warming up and being nice. Not like I care since I got all the friends I need right at this table.

"We should totally get our nails done in the morning, and waxing, and then in the evening we do each other's hair and makeup and get ready before the dance at our place," I suggested. Everyone liked the idea so Lissa called and made appointments for our nails and waxing.

"So what time should we get there?" Adrian asked.

"I dunno, maybe like an hour before the dance?" The guys nodded their heads, except for Dimitri who's face was a mask, but one look at his eyes and I could tell something was eating him up, so I waited until practice to ask him.

"So…what's got you in such a gloom mood?" I asked when we were taking a break.

"It's nothing," he said, taking a drink from his water. I nudged my shoulder against.

"C'mon, even the grass doesn't buy. Is it the dance?"

"Kinda. It's just I want to ask someone I really like, but I can't since I already promised someone else and I don't like going back on my word." I could feel the hurt filling my eyes as I looked at him. I kept wondering why he hadn't asked me, but now I know why. It wasn't me he wanted to ask.

"Who's the lucky gal?" I asked with a plastic smile on my face.

He looked at me like I had grown a second head before a mischevious smile formed on his lips. God, how I loved those smiles were. And when he laughed! I wish I could bottle it up and open it whenever I needed it. His hand wrapped around my neck as he brought his face closer to mine, our noses touching. "Who do you think?"

"Uh…Jill?" I asked stupidly.

"M mm," he mumbled as he lightly pressed his lips against mine, my lips automatically responding. "Guess again," he murmured.

"I dunno," I mumbled back, granting him entrance.

He pulled away and looked at me in disbelief. "Seriously? You can't guess who's the dummy I wish I could take to the dance? Her name starts with an R, rhymes with hose, and smells sweet like her name." I smiled widely at him before crashing my lips against him.

"I know, silly," I said after I pulled away. "I was just messing with you." We went for a third round of kissing, neither of us speaking expect for moans as our tongues danced passionately with each other. At some point, he managed to lay me down and hover on top of me. His lips left mine, and my whimper turned to a soft moan as he kissed my neck, behind my ear. Breathing in fresh air cleared my mind and I realized something. I pushed him away as I asked, "Why can't you take me?"

He looked down ashamed and said, "Cus I promised Tasha I'd take her and after the whole mall thing, she's hell bent on making sure I go with her. But I swear, Rose, I'm not going with her, I'm just…you know…going with her."

"Well I guess it would be shittier for you to go back on word. I guess I'll just be the loner fending off the prying hands of hormonal teenage boys," I said with a sigh as I got up, a smirk on my lips when he grabbed my waist and pulled me down and got on top of me, a growl leaving his lips.

"I never said I promised to stay with her at the dance."

"You do realize she's going to say I seduced you to become corrupt, right?"

"Wouldn't she be right for once?" he asked before kissing me passionaltely.

I slapped his arm while kissing him back. When we pulled away for air, I said, "You seduced me, mister." He let out a rare laughter that was cut short by his phone ringing.

"That was my mom," he said as he got up after hanging up. "She wanted to know if we were coming for dinner and I said yes. I hope you don't mind." I shook my head and got up, grabbed my bag, and followed him to his car.

"Let's play never have I ever!" Viktoria suggested while our toenails were getting done.

"I dunno…I always lose the game," I said.

"Why? You always get out first?" Sydney asked.

"No…wait I thought getting out first was the point!"

"Who told you that?" Jill asked. I looked over at Lissa who had her head turned but I could see the smile in her face. It didn't take long before she broke down laughing.

"Fine let's play," I said. "I'll start…never have I ever had a boyfriend in Russia."

Only Jill and I kept all ten fingers. "I dated Nikolas over the summer," Viktoria admitted.

"Wait Jill I thought you dated that Lee guy," Sydney said. Jill shook her head.

"No…I've been waiting…"

"You do realize you won't find mister right if you never go through mister wrong, right?" I asked.

"Yes. I just…I kept hoping Eddie would notice me and I think I actually have a chance! He was so sweet when we went shopping, and he carried my bags, and even asked me to save a dance for him."

"Well, I guess you'll loose a finger after the dance, then," I said. "Ok…V, it's you're turn."

"Never have I ever…made out on the track field." My face turned pink as I folded my thumb in. "Jill your turn."

"Never have I ever…had sex." Lissa and Sydney put down another finger. "Oh god! Ew I didn't need to know you did it with my brother!"

"Then you shouldn't have asked the question!" Sydney snapped back.

"So wait, you're the only virgin, Rose?" Viktoria asked shyly, the unspoken question going through my ears. I nodded my head. "Don't worry my brother and I are in the same club as you."

"Wait Dimitri's a…?" I asked, my heart warming at thinking that I could potentially be his first. Potentially. She nodded her head, a smirk spreading across her face. "Don't look at me like that, missy. You were just prying questions to see if your crush had his card or not." Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned red.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she mumbled.

"Uh huh. Of course you don't. Just be careful ok?" She nodded her head, knowing what I was referring to. Before we could continue our game, the nail salon people started working on our hands and soon after we walked over the waxing center and got our eyebrows shaped and lips smooth. Wasn't long before we were back at our house messing with each other, eating popcorn and sipping soda while we got our make up and hair done before putting our dresses on. The guys got here on time and we piled into the limo, blasting music on the way to the dance.

"Oh Mia take a picture of us!" Tasha shouted pulling me with her. I can't believe I actually associated myself with these people. So selfish and brainless. I found myself wondering how everything was over at the Dragomir's house, what Rose looked like. Oh Rose, I thought with a smile as I remembered when we went shopping.

After the guys and I finished walking through Zumiez, we headed back to meet up with the girls. We didn't see them so figured they moved onto another store. As we walked past it, I saw a blonde running to the register. Weird, I thought as I turned and saw it was Lissa.

"Wait!" I heard Rose shout as she ran after Lissa, her shirt barely covering her body. Actually all it covered was one of her boobs, the other one was flashing everyone, as was her flat, toned, curved waist. Damn, did working out do wonders on her.

"Is that…?" Mason asked as everyone looked at the scene before us.

"Yup," Andre said, clearing unfazed by Rose's nudity.

"Damn, if I was single," Adrian said, whistling at the end.

"Good thing you're not," I growled, feeling jealousy and possessiveness fill my blood. Everyone quipped an eyebrow at me, but said nothing. Rose and I might not be together, but it was pretty damn obvious that she was mine. Not that she's anybody's property or anything. Before anyone could say anything Lissa and Rose came had walked up to us, clearly noticing we saw the scene.

"Diiiimka!" Tasha sang out, snapping my attention back to her.

"Huh? What?" I said brilliantly, looking at her confused.

"It's time to go. What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing," I said quickly as I pulled her with me to the hummers lined up in the front. One car for every couple. Just greeeeeat, I thought as I helped Tasha into our car and looked out the window the whole way to the auditorium.

When we got there, I saw Rose and everyone else and gotten there right before us. Something must have happened as they got out because they were all laughing as they walked in, everyone outside greeting them. I craned my neck to catch a better look at Rose but couldn't get one. I heard a disgruntled sigh and thought it was me, but looking at Tasha's pissed off expression, I figured it had been her. When I noticed no one paid much attention to her, I realized she was mad Rose got the spotlight and not her. Ha ha.

Once inside, I tried to block out all of Tasha's friends ooing and aahing and showering her with compliments over the decorations. I wasn't going it lie, it looked nice, but that wasn't what caught my eye. No. It was the exotic, desert princess dancing in the middle of the dance floor, with her head thrown back in laughter and amusement. Her good mood was contagious, I felt it warming me up inside and bringing out a big smile on my face. I also had to keep myself in control as I took in her outfit.

Her strapless black dress hugged her chest and waist tightly, bringing out her curves and cleavage, and flowed down gracefully, pooling right above her toes, which where peeking through her sleek black heels, making her look dangerous and sexy. Her hair was curled and the top half was pinned back and out of her face, which had enough make-up to bring out her big, sparkling brown eyes and accentuate her natural beauty. I wanted nothing more than to walk over to her and twirl her around and dance the night away, but I felt claws clenching onto my arms. I looked down and saw they were Tasha's long fingernails. When I looked at Tasha she had on a tight smile, her eyes ordering me to stay put.

"Let's go dance," she said sweetly, her friends following cue and walking onto the dance floor. Politely, but firmly, I released my arm from her hold.

"I don't feel much like dancing, but you go ahead," I said. I bite back the smile when she huffed and stormed off with her friends. She made a point to grab the first guy to come near her and latch herself onto him and grind against him to the beat of the music. I raised my eyebrows, a humorous smirk on my lips as I shook my head and walked off the punch table, noticing Rose had seen me and was heading in the same direction.

"Fuck these heels!" I shouted as I got out the limo and one of my shoes got caught in the space between the concrete tiles and I stumbled forward, losing my shoe in the process. As everyone piled out they laughed as I struggled to get the heel out. "Fuck you guys too. I don't know why I let you guys talk me into wearing them. I swear you'll split the hospital bill." This made them go into a bigger fit of laughter. When I finally popped the shoe out, I straightened up with a triumphant smile. As I looked around, I caught a glimpse of Dimitri getting out of car, however I highly doubt he saw me since I was in the middle of giants. After putting my shoe back one, we walked inside, random people greeting us and walking with us. Weird, I thought, but shook it off and headed straight for the dance floor, pulling Lissa and Viktoria with me.

"Hey!" Andre and Christian whined, following us as I looked for the right spot. Once I found it, the three of us started dancing together, their dates behind them matching their beat. Jill, Eddie, Sydney, and Adrian weren't far behind and soon we had a small circle. All we were missing was Mason. I looked around for his fire red afro hair, and jumped back when I turned around and he was behind me.

"Don't do that!" I scolded as I slapped his arm.

"Sorry," he said, not so apologetically.

"Where'd you go?" I asked as I took his hands and danced with him.

"Just spiced up the punch. No big deal," he said, shrugging his shoulders. I threw my head back and let out a laugh.

"Of course you would." We danced for a while before I caught another glimpse of Dimitri and saw he was heading for the punch. "You know, I'm feeling parched. I'll be right back."

Lissa shot me a knowing look and I gave her my best "devil may care" smile before following Dimitri. I saw he had poured himself a drink and was about to take a sip.

"I wouldn't if I were you," I said suddenly. He brought his drink down and spun around.

"Why not?" he said, biting his lips after lightly licking them as his eyes washed over me. I gave him my best man-eater smile before responding.

"Word around the vine is that it's not 100% punch."

"Well in that case, I shouldn't drink it. They say it's very bad to combine two drugs." I quirked my eyebrows and asked what his other drug is. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me flush against his body, lowering his head so our noses were touching before whispering, "A certain toxic little Rose."

I gave him a mischievous smile. "I'm not little. Toxic maybe, but not little," I said before lighting pushing him away when he tried closing the gap between us. "Where's Tasha?"

"Wouldn't know. Last I saw she was dancing with some guy. Wait let me rephrase. She was basically screwing the guy without taking the clothes off," he said as he let me go. I let out a laugh. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor before letting go again and extending his hand. "May I have this dance?"

"Yes you may," I said, giggling as I slid mine into his and put my other hand on his shoulder. Oddly enough the song that started playing was a slow one.

Lay me down at your alter, baby…

His free arm wrapped around my waist while the hand holding mine pulled me flush against him.

I have prayed for a power like you to see deep down in my soul

He let go of my hand to hold the other side of my waist, so I trailed my hand up to join with my other hand behind his neck.

Magical woman mystery…All of your charms have worked on me…

Looking up into his deep, chocolate brown eyes, I found myself losing sense of the environment around us, the world consisting of him and I.

This is spiritual…under your spell…phenomenal…the way you make me feel…

Soon, the melody of the song faded and we were swaying to our own rhythm.

As if in slow motion, his head lowered as mine lifted, slowly getting close to each other. The anticipation was killing me, but at the same time the slow pace heading into the kiss was thrilling because I knew what was going to happen but at the same time I felt like I didn't. God, the things this man makes me feel!

His lips were so close to mine when I closed my eyes I let my other senses take over. I could feel his breathe on mine.

His lips were so close . . .

A/N: Yes, I just did that. Yes, my intention was to kill you. For those of you who've seen the movie…let me explain. I was listening to Spiritual by Katy Perry and well the Dragozera scene popped in my head….but warped into this scene so I had to do it…so I'm so very not sorry :) Guess you'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see how it ends ;)

Also, sorry for any grammar mistakes I didn't catch! And leave me a review with your favorite part :):)
