Chapter 36- Butterflies, Electricity, and my Heart

Start from the beginning
                                    

I saw Jake, Beth, Luke, Neil, Drew, Finn, Alice, India, Leah, Amber, Rachel, and River all dancing in a circle.

I ran up and yelled to the lyrics "Downtown"!

Their heads all shot to me.

"Hey"! Beth smiled and hugged me.

"Hi" I smiled.

"Is Tatum Crawford at a dance"!? Luke said in amusement and I rolled my eyes "Whatever" I huffed.

River looked at me and smirked.

I raised an eyebrow and he mouthed 'Nothing'.

I shrugged it off and Beth and Jake grabbed my hands and made me dance.




"And girl you know

Round and round your loving winds me up

Like a hula, hula hoop, hula, hula hoop, oh

Round and round your loving winds me up
Like a hula, hula hoop, hula, hula hoop, oh
Round and round your loving winds me up

Like a hula, hula hoop, hula, hula hoop, oh" We all singed at the top of our lungs.

I smiled and River took my hands and spinned me and I laughed and flushed red.

We all jumped and danced to the beat and sang the lyrics of Hula Hoop by OMI played.

The song ended and everyone stopped as it went silent.

It was a slow song.

Beth and Luke started to dance.

Athena and Drew.

Finn and Rachel.

Leah and Jake.

Keira then came over to River.

She smiled and pecked his lips then took his hands and placed them on her lower back and she wrapped her hands around her next.

I couldn't help but feel a pang in my chest.

I blinked a few times before turning to the India and Alice.

I said "I'm going to get something to drink. I'll be right back".

They nodded.

I walked past them and I was walking towards the snack bar, when someone grabbed my wrist.

I turned to see Beth.

She gave me a concerned look and so did Luke.

"Are you okay"?

I nodded "Yeah, why wouldn't I be"?

She said "Well you-Never mind".

She let go of my wrist and I walked away.

I walked back to the snack counter and bought a water bottle.

Couples slow danced and I took a sip of my water.

Why am I acting like this?!

River's not mine..

Never was, never will be.....

I don't even like him!

Or do I-

NO! Tatum, NO! Stop!

I walked back, and Keira has herself pressed up against River.

I sighed and pulled out my phone.

Mark: Hey, how's it going?! :)

Me: Ok.............I guess.......

Mark: What do you mean?! :/
