~Skylar’s POV~

“Why do I have to be here?” I sighed, frowning at the teenagers grinding, flirting and drinking ‘nonalcoholic’ drinks. Pft, I knew they had poured some vodka in the punch before the teachers noticed.

“Because it’s good for you.” Hanna scolded and I looked down at her blankly with my hands in the pockets of my black slacks.

“How? I’m just watching people dry hump each other and getting drunk.” I said flatly and she sighed, shaking her head in annoyance and pushed Akuma forward.

“You talk to him.”

Akuma looked startled, looking between the two of us then pulled on his slim and loose black tie nervously. “Um, I agree with Hanna, dude. You need to get out more. You’re coming to be a bit crazy.”

I raised an eyebrow at him, my face expressionless. “Says the man that wore his little sisters princess dress on Halloween when we were ten.”

He blushed instantly, glaring at him. “It was a triple dog dare! You can’t reject those!”

“Of course not.”

“Hanna!” He whined, turning to her while she was holding back a giggle. They looked cute together, truthfully. Akuma had on a white button up dress shirt that wasn't tucked, black slacks and a black tux jacket while Hanna wore a white floor length silk dress that was slightly sparkly and had a black belt under her bust with a heart neckline.

“Go dance. Jump In by Making April is coming on next.” I sighed, nodding to the dance floor after recognizing the song really quickly.

“But-“

“Go before I electrocute you.” I ordered, frowning at her and she pouted but dragged Akuma off.

I chuckled, sipping at my apple cider and twirled it around in the glass while I rested my elbow on the table and my chin in my palm as I sat at a table. The dance had turned out pretty well. There were streamers and flashing lights as a fast-beat song ended.

The lights shifted into a blue light, gently changing to the colors of the rainbow as the lyrics floated softly around the gym and the dancing shifted into couples grinding together in simple dancing. A few doing waltz and other fancy things.

Alright, this song is annoying me. I loved the song, but it was just depressing me at the moment.

“Humph, seems that not everyone got a date.” I looked up, spotting Xander and I was shocked. He’s talking to me? Wow.

“Some people didn’t want a date.” I muttered, taking a long drink of the cider. Stupid immature and stupid people. Is it too hard to ask for someone I could actually stand that wasn’t one of my friends? Dammit. Maybe I should get drunk. That’d relieve my depressed thinking.

“Hm? And now why is that?” He questioned, smirking. I could smell the alcohol on his breath already. How much punch did that boy drink?

“Because everyone in this school is an immature brat that I rather burn at the stake then see as a potential romantic interest.” I snapped, scowling at him and swigged the rest of the half empty drink.

“Pft, you’re a junior. You’re not mature.” He scoffed and I chuckled.

“Age is but a number, my dear fellow. Now, what the hell are you doing here?” I asked bluntly in a flat voice.

He looked surprised but answered with a smile. “Is it too much that I wanted a conversation with you?”

“The queer? Yes.” I spat, scowling at him and he sighed, rubbing his head.

“Okay, I wanted to know if you really think I’m cute. It’s been bugging me since you said it.” He sighed and I smirked. Ah. So that’s what this is about.

I looked him over, taking in the teal eyes, tan skin, black shaggy and slightly messy hair and strong jaw line with barely a hint of stubble. He had sharp features. My eyes trailed down, taking in the black silk dress shirt that hinted at a muscled chest and the way the sleeves were pushed up showed off muscled but lean arms. He wore some dark jeans and some dress shoes with a black belt around his waist. Though I could barely tell since the shirt wasn’t tucked and covered it.

I looked back into his eyes with a raised eyebrow while he was still staring at me. “You look like the guy I would go for. Though, your personality is kinda a turn off.”

I sighed, tsking as I shook my head back and forth.

“What the hell does that mean?! I have a great personality.” He scoffed.

“Conceited.” I mumbled, tapping my cheek with my fingers.

“I heard that.” He growled and I looked at him slowly, taking in his clenched jaw and darkening eyes. I snorted after a moment.

“And a quick temper. Though….I do like it rough.” I winked at him and his eyes grew wide in surprise.

“Wha?” He questioned in shock and I smiled.

“That’s disgusting!” He immediately said, his cheeks slightly flushing and he turned around with crossed arms.

“And you’re cute.”

He glared at me from the corner of his eyes and I smiled in return.

~Xander’s POV~

Who the hell does this boy think he is?!

He smiled at me and I got a weird feeling in my stomach. What the fuck? I’m not gay! Don’t react to his actions! Don’t blush! I feel you blushing!

Though that new information….no, bad! Again, I’m not gay!

You could be bi though….

I’m not bi! I don’t like guys! I like girls only!

If you say so.

Stupid voice, shut up! This isn’t your business.

But I’m you.

Who?

You.

Like, a conscious of something?

Exactly.

Gah, go away.

Never. Mwhahahaha.

Weirdo….

Thank you!

The voice went silent and I looked Skylar over. He wore a dark blue silk dress shirt with a slim loose black tie and some black slacks with a chain hanging down and the shirt wasn’t tucked in. He looked utterly bored and to my surprise he didn’t have any candy on him.

“Aren’t you usually killing your teeth with candy by now?” I asked and he looked surprised by the random question then scowled.

“Stupid friends didn’t allow me to have any today since ‘I’ll become fat’.” He scoffed, pursing his lips and I chuckled at his childish expression. He raised an eyebrow but I waved it off, smirking slightly.

“Anyway….,” He murmured, frowning at me, “Why were you checking me out a moment ago and why are you really here?”

I blinked, my mouth opening and closing in shock and I scowled, shaking my head. “I wasn’t checking you out.”

“Of course you weren’t.” He scoffed and I scowled at him.

“Alright, second question. Answer.” He ordered, narrowing his eyes suspiciously and I sighed, scratching my head then looked anywhere except for him.

“I don’t know. I just felt like it.”

“Right.”

He didn’t believe me? I was telling the truth!

“And don’t say you were telling the truth. No one in your position wants to talk to a fag.” Skylar growled and I blinked in surprise then frowned.

“Right, well, whatever.” I got up and left.

“Bye cutie.” Skylar chuckled and I kept myself from turning around with a comeback.

~Skylar’s POV~

Hm….he’s amusing.

“Skylar….?”

I looked up, frowning at a freshman from the AV club. I remember him there when we would get into fights for the dance.

“Yes?”

“Uhm….Ridge asked me to come and….thank you and….congratulate you for….what you did.” He said, stuttering and pausing nervously.

I smirked. Ridge Colane. The president of the AV club and an overall jackass. I turned my attention back to the freshman and nodded. “Tell Ridge: Ha! In your face ya jackass. Told ya. And I’ll be in touch.”

The boy nodded and scurried off to the short blond haired guy with black rimmed glasses and a white tux that was standing next to the food table. His face contorted with rage and he glared over at me as it turned bright red. I smirked, tipping my empty glass to him then frowned as I felt a tap on my shoulder. Gah, people!

I turned around, coming to the stomach of a girl covered in a silky green dress. I looked up in confusion to be met with a freshman. She had russet hair up in a bun and curled and some green eye shadow and diamond earrings. She looked nervous and there was a group of girls ten feet away staring at us and giggling.

“Yes?” I questioned, setting the glass down.

“Um, would you like to, uh, dance?” She asked, wringing her hands nervously. I frowned, scrutinizing her then glanced over at the girls who were giggling and pointing then back at her. Her face was brightening in a blush and she looked around nervously.

“Those girls your friends or something?” I questioned and she blinked, turning around and seeing the group then blushed, looking down.

“N-not exactly….”

“Ah.” I muttered, getting it then nodded at her. “Outcast?”

“Pretty much….”

“Popular?” I questioned, pointing at the girls and she gave a small nod.

“Let’s go then.” Her mouth dropped open as she stared up at me when I stood up. I was even taller than her and she had heels.

The girls were all frozen, staring at me in shock. The ones in the group and a few around from all grades. Yeah, Sky-Sky no dance that much.

“R-really?” She questioned. I gave her a small smile, grabbing her hand and led her to the dance floor as Remembering Sunday came on.

“I love this song.” The girl gasped and I nodded, looking around as the music video came on. Several people were looking at it.

“Same. Uh….wait, what did you say your name was?” I questioned, frowning as we stepped onto the floor.

“Rosie. Rosie Hunterdon.” She replied as I pulled her to me. She stumbled and I chuckled.

“Well Rosie, you don’t know how to dance, do you?” She blushed bright red and I took that as a yes.

“Just follow me.” I murmured.

“O-okay.” She blushed.

“Put your hands around my neck.” I ordered, my lips brushing by her ear and she shivered, obeying.

~Akuma’s POV~

I cannot believe what I am seeing.

“What is it?” Hanna asked as I stared wide-eyed at the dance floor.

“Look at Sky.” I ordered, my voice still stunned. She turned and her eyes bugged out, her mouth dropping open.

He was dancing with a girl. Dancing. Skylar don’t dance. Not with anyone. In public anyway. He said that even though he has had years of training in several different dance styles, there was no reason to show it off at a school dance.

“Who’s that girl?” I questioned, narrowing my eyes as Skylar whispered something in her ear and she blushed brighter as her arms curled around his neck.

“Rosie Henderson.” Hanna answered after a moment and I frowned at her in confusion.

“She’s Tundra’s little sister. I heard she was an outcast. She’s only a freshman.” Tundra was her best girl friend.

“Seriously? And she had the courage to ask Skylar to dance? I saw it. And he accepted is what is fucking shocking.” I muttered, downing a full glass of punch that I knew had alcohol in it.

“She did?! I know Skylar’s hot but he’s also intimidating.” I frowned at her but nodded in agreement. Even though people made fun of him I caught the looks of the girls and guys down the hall. Some envy, some lust.

Skylar pretended he didn’t notice but I know he did. I even saw Drake, Jack and Hanna give him lustful looks when he takes his shirt off in the club when we’re in there for hours.

“The girl’s pretty hot too though.” I pointed out and Hanna frowned at me but had to agree.

“Yeah, she’s a real tomboy though.”

“Perfect for Sky.” I chuckled and Hanna frowned.

“I always thought he was more gay then bi though.”

“Oh, no. You’d be surprised by what’s under his bed.” I smirked at all the porn magazines of both girls and guys under his bed and Hanna paled.

~Skylar’s POV~

“So, Rosie, tell me about yourself.” I ordered as we sat back at the table I was previously at after the song was over. She was still flustered and I noticed her nervousness and the slight tugging she gave the dress since it only went to her mid-thigh.

“I, um, like shopping?” She said nervously and I snorted, leaning forward and put my elbow on the table and my palm on my cheek as I looked at her. A slow smile took over my face and she blushed darker if that was possible.

“I’m not stupid Rosie. I can see you’re uncomfortable in that dress. Now tell me, what is it you shop for?” I questioned and she frowned, looking down while wringing her hands together.

“Um….video games. And candy. And, uh, Pokémon cards?” She looked up, her nervousness increased but then turned to hurt as I laughed. I gave her a reassuring smile, stopping my laugh and nodded.

“Thank you.  If you had said nail polish, salad and clothes I would have left right now.”

Now she just looked confused. “But don’t guys like girls like that?”

“Honey, I’m bi. I like the more outdoorsy type.” I told her with a wink and she blushed again.

“By the way, you’re blush is cute. You do it a lot though.” I told her and her blush brightened in response as she frowned.

“I usually don’t blush. I’ve never talked to a guy that wasn’t my sister’s friend.”

“Who’s your sister?”

“Tundra.”

“Oh, Hanna’s friend. I know her. Nice girl. Little bit of a flirt though.” I frowned tapping my chin and Rosie laughed.

“Yup. That’s Tun.” I smiled then looked around, frowning.

“Why are people staring?”

Her mouth dropped open and she looked at me in shock. “You’re joking right? Do you know how many girls think you’re hot? They thought you were gay though.” She said a hint of nervousness at the end and I scowled.

“Dammit. I need more girl friends. Though I find more guys my type then girls usually. Dating is hard. Anyway, I’ve seen more of a girl’s body then the girl herself has.” I winked at her and she gulped, blushing again while I chuckled.

“Nah, don’t worry. It was only a few times. The first time the girl kinda forced herself on me….wait, I’m rambling again. Sorry, it’s a habit.” I smiled at her and she nodded, looking around. I heard loud heels clacking our way as her face blanched and tilted my head in confusion.

“Hey Rosie. Chatting it up with a junior, I see.” A loud voice suddenly said and I scowled. I knew that voice. I turned and it confirmed my suspicion. Taylor Moore. Bitch of sixth grade when I was in eighth. The girl lusted after me the first time I saw her.

“Oh shit. You go here now? Fuck me. I should have accepted the offer of shooting you when I had the chance. Oh wait, that wasn’t you. No, no. Wait….oh, that was a Tyler. Annoying boy.” I muttered while they all stared at me for a while. Taylor had blond-dyed-hair that went to her hips and blue eyes. She had curves and big boobs for a freshman and by the way she dressed in a slutty dress told me she knew it. She caught my staring at smirked.

“Like what you see Sky?” She purred and I scowled in disgust.

“Hell no.”

“What?!”

“Go away. You annoy me.” I ordered, waving her away but she didn’t. She just gaped at me.

“You did not just say that.” She muttered and I smirked.

“Babe, you disgust me. Leave before I turn that dyed crap you call hair into a crisp by electrifying you.” I smiled wickedly at her and she huffed, stomping away.

Rosie was staring at her in shock then me in awe and I smiled at her. “It was nice to meet you Rosie. Maybe I’ll see you at your house if I come with Hanna and Akuma. I’m gonna go. I don’t stay at dances long.”

She nodded, looking down and I paused, grabbing her arm and pulled it up, lifting the black bracelet away and scribbled my number on it with a pen from my back pocket and she looked at in shock.

“Text me. I’m usually never busy.” She nodded quickly as I turned away. I looked around before heading over to the punch bowl and drinking two more glasses quickly.

“Skylar!” I sighed as Akuma and Hanna dashed up and started drilling me with questions.

“Do you like her?”

“I didn’t know you could dance!”

“Do you like her?”

“Did you give her your number?”

“You guys look so cute!”

“Shut up. Maybe, I can, maybe, yes and thank you.” I rolled my eyes and started walking away.

“Wait, where are you going?”

“Home. Mom let me take the  Ferrari.” I waved over my shoulder and headed out of the gym and towards the garage to the sleek black car.

~Xander’s POV~

I watched as Skylar head out of the gym and I focused on the feelings swirling in my stomach. Why did I get so angry when he was dancing with that chick?

What the hell is wrong with me?
