is coming up and you’re the best looking girl in this school.” I blushed a little. “And I need a date and I know you need one too so…” he pulled out a rose from his bag, “Go to the dance with me?” he smiled; when he smiled he was so cute. He wasn’t the first guy to ask me to the dance, I actually declined half the football and basketball team hoping you-know-who would ask me. “Thank you” I said looking down at me feet, then at his smile, and pushed my hair out of my face, “I’m flattered… I really am… I just… I don’t think I can” I stammered. “Oh let me guess, you’re hoping Derrick would ask you right?” he laughed a little. He lifted my chin with his finger, my heart started to race, I tensed up expecting a slap, “He’s going with that Julia girl” My stomach and my heart sank to the floor, I wonder if Logan could see the color flushing from my face. “Come on Hun what do you say?” he smiled at me. “Okay, sounds good” I finally said reluctantly. He picked me up and swung me around, “Awesome! Pick you up at 7:00” he walked smoothly down the hall and turned the corner to go to class. When I sat down in my chair I immediately began to regret what I had done. The day went on pretty regularly; at lunch everyone was excited about the dance and who their date was. I could feel Derrick looking at me angrily, I tried to ignore it but I knew he knew who my date was and I didn’t care. He didn’t ask me, he asked Julia and I wanted Derrick to see I was going to move on. I feel like he fed off of the fact I had a crush on him and liked to torment me. I glared back at him with a “Fuck you” attitude. I was sitting in my room after school doing homework when Derrick burst loudly in to the room. “Come in” I said still looking at my papers, unfazed by his rude entrance. “So you’re going to the dance with Logan, really? Are you that stupid?” Derrick said coldly walking toward the bed where I was sitting, “Why do you care.” I said nonchalantly, I licked my finger then flung the paper of the page I was on. “You’re going with Julia?” I said still looking at my book. “Really you’re still talking about her? Like get over it already! Because you’re jealous you’re going to hang out with him?” he said. “I’m not jealous! First of all you’re a liar; you said you weren’t going with her. And I honestly do NOT care. Second you’re the one coming in here yelling at me, sounds like you’re the jealous one! ” I raised my voice, “I’m just going with her because she’s easy” Derrick said, “Oh wow nice, really classy Derrick” I said mockingly, “And FYI Logan is a sweet kid, he’s been nothing but respectful toward me and if you would actually give him…” I was in the middle of my sentence when Derrick cut me off, “Wow you’ve been talking to him?!” I shrugged. Derrick looked at me in disbelief “whatever Remi fine. Have a great time with that loser but when he does something stupid don’t come crying back to me” Derrick turned and left the room slamming the door behind him, “I NEVER HAVE CAME TO YOU JERK!” I shouted back. I angrily moved the papers on my bed off to the floor. He made zero sense, he hadn’t been paying me any attention and when someone does he acts like this? I was going to have a great time and I was going to make him jealous. Chapter XIII

The night of the dance I got ready alone in my room, I told the girls about Logan being my date, they were wary about it but excited for me. I curled my hair into long loose curls that fell over my shoulders and back, I pinned my bangs back in a small bump on the top of my head. My make up was a simple pink lipstick with light blush and eye shadow. My dress was short and light blue, the top was a sweetheart neck line with sparkles on it. My breast were pushed together and poked out of the top a little, the bottom of the dress reached my knees and was made of a ruffle material that puffed out slightly. I put on nude heels, then my pearl earrings, with matching bracelet and necklace. I then descended the staircase and there was James talking to Logan. Logan was dressed in a light blue button down long sleeve dress shirt with a floral pink and orange bowtie; his pants were tan and he was wearing light blue sneakers that matched his shirt. His hair was wavy and parted down the middle still touching his shoulders.  I was still walking down the stairs when James met me half way down, “Wow, you look beautiful.” He gave me a hug, “I do however wish you were going with Derrick.” He whispered in my ear. I pulled back and looked into his gray eyes; he raised his eyebrow at me and smiled a little. “Me too” I said. “Remi…” Logan said looking at me stunned, “You… you look fantastic” he said sweetly, he bit his lip a little, “Thanks. You look very handsome yourself” I said blushing a little bit. After few pictures Logan and I got into the car and left, when we arrived at the dance the first person I saw was Derrick. When I saw him I wrapped my arm around Logan, he seemed unfazed and was giving high fives to his friends. I looked back at Derrick, he was standing with his hands in his pockets looking bored, as Julia hung on his hip jabbering away to another group of friends. When he saw me he did a double take, he looked mesmerized by me, I flipped my hair and smiled. Derrick peeled Julia off him and started walking toward me; he looked hypnotized by my beauty. “Derrick?” she said folding her arm in a huff. I smiled as she turned green with envy “Remi” he said reaching down to give me a hug, I took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the man I was sure I was falling for. He brushed a strand of hair out of my face, and brushed my cheek with his hand, “You look stunning, just wow. I’ve never seen you more beautiful”. He smiled, “Look I’m sorry about earlier, I just worry and…” Derrick said, I couldn’t even follow along, my mind was in a fog just looking at him **those dimples, oh my god! And those lips I just want to kiss him everywhere! His hair is perfect like is he photo shopped? ** I thought. My knees buckled, my heart race, my hands were clammy; my face grew red and hot. We were looking at each other and smiled. Logan; who had already left my side to speak with some shady looking kids rushed over and pulled me away from Derrick. They stared each other down like a pair of lions; I looked on worried about what would happen next, when Julia came up from behind hugging Derrick and glaring down at me. She grabbed his hand and whined, “Come on baby I wanna dance”. She kissed his cheek; Derrick smiled a little and shook his head, grabbed her hand and walked away. Logan didn’t stay next to me long, he went back to the shady kids he was talking to earlier and I joined my group of friends and danced. When we finally stepped outside to take a break, we saw Derrick and Julia arguing, she was poking his chest as he stood there with his hands in his pocket, looking less interested by the second. “Damn Remi, look what you did” Hannah giggled and nudged me. Derrick looked over at me and smiled, waving a little, I waved back and grinned. Julia looked at me then back at Derrick in disgust or maybe shock I’m not sure but Derrick just  shrugged his shoulders and she shouted “We’re DONE!” and walked away. Everyone that was watching said “Ooooooo” in unison, and then laughed. “Thank you!” he shouted back. I was giggling when Julia bumped my shoulder walking past me. Derrick just shook his head and walked over to us, he was wearing all black with a white tie and looked more handsome than ever, his green eyes looked me up and down, and he completely ignored my girlfriends, grabbed my hand smiling at me. I was sure he was about to ask me to dance when Logan pushed his way past Derrick and clumsily grabbed my wrist. He was a little wobbly on his feet, “Come on I love this song” he grabbed my hand and turned to go back into the gym. He looked Derrick in the eyes, Derrick stood there stoic, with his eye brows slightly raised and clenched his jaw. Logan was a little disheveled, “What? What?” he said slurring and looking at Derrick. Logan walked quickly to the gym and pulled my behind him, I looked back at Derrick who was shaking his head and looking down. A slow song was playing when Logan and I got to the dance floor, I draped my arms around his shoulders and neck, and he brought me close to him, putting his hands on my back, that’s when I realized why he was acting so strange; he was drunk. The smell of vodka consumed us, “Damn girl, you smell amazing” he sniffed me and I tried to move back “You look so good. You wanna get outta here?” he slurred. He started to fall over, I pushed him back on his feet, he finally regained his balance but kept his cheek resting heavy on mine, his breath was hot and smelt like a liquor store.  **oh my god gross!** I thought, “No” I said quietly, “Let’s just keep dancing”, I was trying to stay calm but my heart was beating fast. “I don’t wanna dance” He started to kiss my neck; I tried to move my head out of the way, “What? I know you like it. You’ve been such a tease Remi and I want **hicc** it already” he said with a laugh. I started pushing his chest hard to get him off of me but Logan pulled me back to him, “Is this how Derrick does it?” he reached his hands under my dress feeling my butt, I tried to push him off again but he just thrush us closer together, I could feel his manhood. I was struggling to get him off; I pounded on his chest with my fist and palms. “Let go!” I shouted, he was laughing, pushing his hands over my legs and up my dress. His hands were just about to pull the top of my dress down reveling my breast when  I looked over and saw Derrick pushing people out of
