(Danelle's POV) 

It doesn't matter if you're 5 years old or 18 years old. You're gonna love candy even when you have dentures so having a candy themed prom at the beautiful Hilton Hotel is absolutely perfect for me! And who better to go with then my best friend Dana?! I know... Is he your boyfriend? Well, no, he's not. He's honestly the best friend that people wished they had and guess what? He's mine! It disgusts me though, he's my best friend and I have a huge crush on him. I know he doesn't feel the same way so I keep my mouth shut. It's better like this. We walk arm in arm up the stairway to the hotel, me tripping on my dress from time to time. 

"You okay there Princess Clumsy?" He teases as we enter the lobby. I just roll my eyes at him. 

"I'm fine Prince Wannabe!" He takes a step back, holding his chest and gasping, creating a scene. 

"You know what? That hurts Danelle. I thought we were friends, but I guess I was wrong!" He cries dramatically, causing some of the popular girl’s eyes to look at us as well as others. 

"Dana, I'm sorry... Please don't leave. I need you," I say in a southern accent and cling to his arm. We do this all the time because we're both taking the acting class and in the production. He tugs slightly, but it looks like he ripped it out of my hands to the crowd. This is actually really fun. 

"No! You hurt me. How can I be with someone who is gonna hurt me just like that?" 

"I can change, I know I can! Give me another chance!" 

"I'm sorry, but I can't." 

“Dana please! I… I love you!” I blurted out. He stared at me wide-eyed as the crowd gasped. I smirked slightly, attempting to hide my blush. We stood there for what seemed like forever, staring at each other. I was so embarrassed. Dana smiled and marched over towards me, standing in front of me. He grabbed my face, pulling me into a kiss. I'm shocked at first at how Dana, my best friend, is kissing me, but I then kiss back,deepening it. I'm kissing my best friend and long time crush! He pulls away and I can feel that he doesn't want to and either do I, but I feel every pair of eyes in the lobby on us. He continues to smirk at me and I just stand still, unable to move as electricity is keeping me in one spot. 

"I forgive you. Now... wanna dance?" I nod as he begins to pull me towards the ballroom, laughing the entire way. I snap out of my trance as Iggy Azeala's "Bounce," starts playing. we dance together for who knows how many songs before the first slow song of the night plays. Without hesitation, Dana places his hands on my waist and pulls me closer. It isn't awkward, like other people make it out to be. It's actually really nice. I place my hands around his neck and we sway back and forth to the beat of the song. I have so many unresolved questions that I want to ask him, but I'm afraid. Why did he kiss me? Did he want to kiss me? What did this make us? Were we an item now? Could I call him mine? All these thoughts ran through my mind and I decided to take a chance. I looked up into his beautiful brown eyes and opened my mouth. 

"We need to talk about that... kiss," He says before I have a chance to speak. I nod slowly, trying to grasp what he was about to say. 

"What about it?" I say. He sighs. 

"I like you. Like A lot, but I didn't mean to kiss you." He confesses and to be honest, I feel my heart break a little bit inside. 

"What do you mean?" I ask, tears welling up in my eyes. 

"I kissed you by accident. I have been controlling my feelings for you since I first met you. I was gonna tell you about a week after, but then I met Alice." Anger replaced my tears. Alice was gonna take my Dana away from me? Who is she? What does she have that I don't have? Am I not good enough for him?
