Friends With Benefits

Chapter Fourteen: Day of the Dance

Chapter Fourteen: Day of the Dance

                            The whole school cafeteria was buzzing with talk. I guess it had something to do with the dance.

                            "I feel so alone. You have Hunter and I have no one as a date," Sarah groaned.

                            "Just ask someone," I replied, not really paying attention.

                           "Are you ok?" Sarah asked.

                           "I don't know. I've been feeling weird all day," I answered.

                          "Maybe it's just pre-dance jitters. What are you and Hunter doing anyway?" Sarah asked.

                          "Dancing, eating, breathing. The usual," I answered.

                          "You're no fun date after all," Sarah replied, "I feel bad for poor Hunter."

                            I rolled my eyes and just shrugged off my jitters. I noticed Logan sitting alone. I wondered if he had a date. Oh, how badly I wanted to sit next to him.

                          "Here's your boyfriend now," Sarah said in a sing song voice.

                          "Shut up," I hissed.

                           "Team Hana! I ship you so hard!" Sarah shouted.

                          "I ship us too," Hunter replied.

                          "I hate that shipping shit. What is the point?" I asked.

                          "I guess the point is to annoy you then," Hunter answered.

                          "Very funny," I said sarcastically while stuffing my face with fries.

                          "Attractive," Hunter said.

                          "Love you too, babe," I said.

                          I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress I was  wearing a sleeveless sparkly mini dress that had a heart shape on the top to {purposely} reveal cleavage and the color was a pretty pink champagne.

                         My hair was in curls and put in a pretty ponytail. I had pearl earrings on and [what a shocker] finally put makeup on that was more than Chapstick.

                        My heart was pumping so hard I thought it was going to pump out of my chest. It was just a stupid dance. Nothing too important.

                       I went downstairs and saw my dad with a camera ready.

                      I flashed a quick smile as my dad took the picture before walking to the living room and saw Hunter waiting for me.

                    "Don't look at me. I look like a girl," I said, turning around.

                    "I think that's the whole point of a dress and shoes and other stuff," Hunter replied.

                   "You are not helping," I moaned.

                   "Hey, if it helps anymore, you look as pretty as me," Hunter said with a wink.

                     I stuck my tongue out at him. 

                   "One last picture for the couple," Dad said, camera at the ready.

                   "I swear to God...," I muttered.

                    I put bunny ears behind Hunter's head and I could feel him do it to me before the flash went off. I started seeing spots when Hunter took my hand and said, "Ready to go?"

                  "Yeah," I answered.

                   And as we left the door, I smiled. Maybe tonight would be fun.
