“I still can’t believe Derek is taking you to the dance,” Dee’s smile was reaching from ear to ear. We all had assumed Derek wouldn’t be interested.
“I know right,” I couldn’t help but smile along with Dee. We had just finished our dress shopping and were at the Pizza Place drinking milkshakes.
As soon as I saw my dress I fell head over heels in love. It was strapless and the plunging neckline was covered in blue and pink sequins while the waist had a thick pink ribbon tied around it and from the waist down there were two layers. The bottom layer was a cheetah pattern and the colours consisted of pinks and purples while the top layer was made of a transparent pink material. It all ended halfway down my thigh and I loved it.
Cassie had brought hers weeks ago and chose a tight slimming yellow dress which was strapless and looked amazing on her body. It clung to her curves perfectly. Dee had also got her dress weeks ago and decided on a pink dress which was also strapless and had a black ribbon tied around the waist. The seam was curled under and was puffy which made the dress look much more elegant.
They had showed me their dresses before we started the search for mine which took us hours . . . Literally.
“It’s going to be so weird seeing you two together,” Cassie spoke as she stirred her strawberry milkshake with her straw.
They had only seen me and Derek together once and that was when we kissed in front of half the school and Cory and Derek nearly got into a fight because of it.
I didn’t mind that we didn’t hang out in public. I preferred hanging out near the river, plus I knew it would was still too soon. The town was small and the last thing I wanted was to flaunt my relationship in front of Cory.
It would have been like rubbing salt into an open wound and I wasn’t that cruel, well not towards people who didn’t deserve it anyway.
“And seeing Derek in a tux,” Dee added and we all chuckled slightly.
That was something I was looking forward to. I could already picture how handsome he was going to look.
Snap, snap. I heard fingers snapping in front of my face.
“Earth to Kristin,” Dee brought me back from my day dream of Derek and back to reality.
“What?” I asked as I started to pay attention again.
Dee and Cassie laughed at me, “I can’t help it okay. I think he is going to look great in a tux,” I smirked and they both rolled their brown eyes.
“Damn girl you got it bad!” Cassie and Dee laughed some more although I didn’t see the point in denying it.
“Guilty as charged,” I admitted, “Anyway moving on. Have you decided who you are saying yes to?” I asked Cassie. She had a few guys wanting to take her to the Winter Formal, and even though it was only a few days away she still hadn’t decided.
There was Rob the major douche who had encouraged Cory to fight Derek, and then there was Cory who swore they would just be going as friends and finally there was Michael. Michael was on the Basketball team and a friend of Trevor’s. I didn’t really know him but he seemed nice and was the quiet type.
“I don’t know. I really don’t want to go with Rob and Michael is cute but I don’t want Cory to have to go to the dance alone,” Cassie focussed on me as if asking for permission.
“Cassie you don’t need my permission. Cory and I barely dated. I think you and Cory going together is an excellent idea.”
I wanted her to stop worrying. Cory and I were over before we even began. I was still hoping that maybe they would become more than friends that way I wouldn’t feel so guilty every time I saw Cory.
“I know . . . I just okay I’ll go with Cory,” Cassie replied as she moved some of her dark hair out of her face.
Me and Dee both smiled and had to hold back our squeals of excitement. Even though they were only going as friends, we both were holding hope that they would become more. They would make a cute couple.
“Don’t get too excited guys. We are only going as friends,” Cassie assured us but we kept our grins plastered to our faces.
“Okay whatever you say,” Dee threw her hands up in defeat and smirked again.
“You guys are never going to quit are you?” Cassie gave us the evil eye, and we both looked at each other.
“Nope,” We answered at the same time and laughed while Cassie just rolled her eyes at us.
“I just need to pee. I’ll be right back,” I stood to my feet and left the booth. I was sitting at the end which meant I didn’t have to squish past anyone or wait for them to let me out.
The restroom was practically deserted as was the Pizza Place as I left the rest room and made my way back to the table.
Thud!
I wasn’t paying attention and had been stuck in my own world thinking about werewolves and how Cassie and Dee had no idea, when I collided with another person.
“I’m sorry,” I apologised.
“No it’s okay. It’s not your fault it’s mine.”
I looked at him and that’s when I noticed how cute he was. Just because Derek and I were dating it didn’t mean I couldn’t look and admire from a distance, I just couldn’t touch.
He reminded me of Chad Michael Murray with his blonde hair and blue eyes, and I knew he didn’t go to my school. I had never seen him before and he looked to be about my age.
“No it’s totally my fault. I zoned out.”
“Okay well let’s agree to disagree, how does that sound?” he asked.
“That’s sounds fine. I’ve never seen you before.”
“I’m just here for a few days. I used to live here a few months ago but I moved,” He further explained.
“I just moved here a month ago,” I wasn’t flirting. I was just being polite.
“How are you liking it?”
“It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be.”
“Well now I’m wishing I never left,” He grinned at me and I couldn’t help but chuckle at his lame attempt of a pick-up line.
“Smooth.”
“That’s how I do.”
“Sir your pizza is ready,” Marty the owner called from behind the counter.
“Well I better let you go, bye,” I replied before I started to head back to Dee and Cassie.
“Bye,” I heard him call after me.
“Oh my god was that Tane? He is even more gorgeous than I remember,” Dee practically yelled as she neatened her blonde hair and looked over at him as I sat at the table. I quickly looked back near the counter but he was already halfway out the door.
Thank god. I sighed in relief.
“Way more gorgeous,” Cassie added.
“Insanely more gorgeous,” Dee continued to compliment him.
Had he really changed that much in the last three months?
“Okay I get it but it doesn’t matter anyway. One- because I’m with Derek and two- because he doesn’t live in Beacon Hills anymore as you already know, and even if he did still live here there is no way I would dump him for Derek.”
“Even if you had met him before Derek?” Dee questioned me.
“Yes even if I had met him first I would still choose Derek.”
“How do you that though?” Dee asked.
“That’s a good question?” Cassie nodded.
They had me there but there was no way to know unless I built a time machine, went back three months and moved to Beacon Hills so there was no point in talking about it. Plus Derek was hotter.
“Okay enough talk about . . . Tane,” It took me a few seconds to remember what Dee had called him.
“Okay so are you and Derek going to . . . You know after the dance?” Cassie’s lips turned into a devilish grin.
“Are you and Cory?” I teased and Dee laughed while Cassie scrunched up a napkin and threw it at me.
“You guys are pure evil!” Cassie glared and I couldn’t help but laugh although she had got me thinking about me and Derek.
I knew why we had to take things slow but it still sucked, but Derek did tell me that practice made perfect which was the only upside.
We had been practicing a lot, just with making out and to my delight we were making progress. Not much but every little bit counted.
