The week after the sleepover, me and Brian spent a lot of time together. He taught me how to use most of my vampire abilities and he always sat next to me in lunch. Alexa was always told me to ask him to be my boyfriend but I wasn't ready for a relationship. The girls always complained how one of us needed to make a move. I wanted to tell him how I felt but I couldn't. He made me melt. He made me smile. He made me feel beautiful. He was my weakness. I couldn't have a weakness. "So you guys hear about the dance that's coming up in a few weeks?" Chizzy asked. "That's all anyone talks about. There wasn't one person in homeroom who didn't talk about the dance. I swear, if one more person mentions the dance I'll scream" I banged my head on the table three times, "It's giving me a headache!" Brian smiled and laughed, "You wanna go with me? That is I mean, if you don't have a date or anything." I frowned. "Okay but just as friends. I'm not sure what my dad would do to you if you asked me as in like a date." I smiled. "Good." he smiled, "because I have something I want to ask you at the dance." "Why don't you just ask me now?" I asked him. "I would prefer to ask you at the dance" "O...kay." I replied.
A week before the dance we all met at the mall. Me and Alexa needed dresses for the dance since we were all going and had dates, and Millie needed to tell us something. She said she had really good news. "Can we head to Claires, first. I'm gonna need a new ear cuff." I had asked when we got there. "Sure. I need a new pair of earings anyway." Chizzy said. While I was searching for an ear cuff Millie blurted out her good news. "I got us all applications for Shadow Falls!" None of us knew what that was and I was the first to speak up. "What the hell is that?" "It's the school for 'troubled teens'." I frowned. "We're not troubled teens." Millie frowned. "I know that! I mean 'troubled teens' as in," she leaned in and lowered her voice to a whisper, "super naturals."
We all understood after she said that. "What type a school is it?" Brian asked. "A boarding school. Why?" Millie replied. "Well the virus is rare in my family so my parents don't know about it. That's why." Hunter looked curious so I wasn't surprised when he spoke up. "Dose everyone get there own rooms?" "No. Four people per cabin." I rubbed my hands together, smiled, and said, "Show me the paper work!"
Friday couldn't have came any slower. Millie had gotten responses from Shadow Falls and was going to give us them at the dance. We all thought this was going to be a really good dance. Millie got asked t go by a guy named Micheal – rumor had it he was on the soccer team, Alexa was asked by a guy named Kyle, and Hunter asked Chizzy. We all had dates so that was one plus to the dance already. We all waited in the hallway for each other. Millie was the last of us to arrive. Once Micheal walked into the gym she handed all of us our responses from Shadow Falls I tore my letter open praying to who ever that I got in. Someone must have been listening because I ended up getting in. "I got in. I Got In! I Got In!" I yelled. "I got in too." I heard Brian's voice from behind me. I turned around and next thing I knew I had my arms around him, my feet an inch above the ground, and his arms around me. We let go of each other and I was back on the ground, blushing. "Holly crap! I got in!" Chizzy yelled. "Same here!" Alexa screamed. "Shit! I got in!" Hunter yelled. "I got in! I got in! I got in!" Millie yelled as she jumped up and down.
After we all finished screaming with joy, Brian said, "C'mon, we're gonna miss the dance." He held out his hand and took it in the volnerable state I was in. We walked to the only empty table in the room, and sat down. Hunter and Chizzy sat down with us. And Alexa and Millie soon joined us when they realized their dates were asses. When they sat down Brian spoke. "Deeana, do remember how I had something I wanted to ask you?" I nodded. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I thought about it for a good two seconds and ended up saying, "Hell yes!"
