This is Headphones by Matt Nathonson. It is an awesome song. OMG I'M OVER 4K READS! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! AHHHH! :D I hope y'all are enjoying my book so far. Continue reading :)

I push open the door to the gym. I see eyes stare at me, the lights have stopped flashing, the music stopped, and now everyone else in the room has stopped dancing.

I quickly glance at everyone. My eyes land on Tomas's pair of eyes. I revert my eyes from his and look towards other people, I can feel his stare burning my cheek.

I walk to Alexander Sposito, he walked up to me once in Spanish and asked me on a date, I declined. But now that I'm not longer with Tomas, I can talk to other boys.

His face lights up when he sees me, and gives me a smile. Alexander is pretty hot, with crystal blue eyes, and dirty blond hair. He gives me a hug, and I give him a peck on the cheek.

"Mia, you look beautiful today." He says into my ear.

"Don't I always?" I say chuckling a bit.

"Yes, I mean always." He tries to save it, and I chuckle.

"So, Mia, will you accept this dance with me?" He holds out his hand.

I think about it, my answer depends on me and only me.

"I would love to." I reply and take his hand.

I can feel eyes on me from everyone, just looking at me walking with Alexander.

Headphones by Matt Nathonson comes on, and we just stiffly sway back and forth. It feels weird not dancing with Tomas, but hopefully I'll get over it, right?

Alexander turns me and I see Tomas glaring daggers at boys who stare at me, including Alexander.

Wow, angry much Tomas? I think.

It feels good to make him jealous, he hurt me so why don't I do the same?

I pull Alexander closer to me and we sway more in tune. He takes it the wrong way and he pulls me into a kiss on the lips.

It wasn't too bad, but Tomas's kisses are better.

"Hey can I go get myself some punch? I'll catch you later. Okay?" I say to him.

He nods and I walk over to the refreshments. In the corner of my eye I can see Tomas, his back is against the wall and his head is tilted to the ground, his hair is covering his eyes, but I think he's crying.

I suddenly feel bad, because I just danced with Alexander. But I get over it quickly, seeing that I'm no longer his girlfriend.

I turn to throw my cup away and I see the new British kid talking to Tomas.

Wasn't he just crying a second ago? I wonder what they are talking about? Oh who cares.

So I walk to a group of my friends and start to talk to them. I'm mostly just staring around the gym and not listening while they talk about boys, couples, and other stuff.

I see the girls around me stare behind me and I feel a tap on my shoulder.

For a second I think it's Tomas but my heart drops for a second when I see the new British kid behind me.

"M'lady would you care to dance with me?" He says in a cute British accent.

I blush and accept his offer.

He pulls me on to the dance floor, and I put my arms on his broad shoulders, and he puts his arms around my waist. I look at him closer. He has beautiful sea blue eyes, golden hair, and has a few freckles dotting his face, in all he looks adorable.

I can see him checking me out, but I've gotten so use to it.

"So when did you move here?" I try to make some small talk.

"Well, about one year ago." He replies. Omg, I love the way he says the word year. British accents are cute.

"Oh that's cool."

"Yeah, I guess so. What about you? I hear about you a lot in the hallways." He says.

The way he says the words hear and hallways is absolutely hot.

"Yeah, I'm new too. I moved from Texas, about three months ago." I say trying not too hard at staring at his lips.

"I like your accent." I blurt out.

He chuckles and replies with a thank you.

Ten minutes pass, and we're both dancing to Animals by Maroon 5.

I'm actually having fun, I'm glad I came, I'm not going to let Tomas ruin my homecoming night.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it's that time you guys have been waiting for." A girl says up from the stage.

Applause comes and she smiles.

"So your homecoming queen is..." She starts to open the envelope containing the winners name.

"Mia Thompson! Congratulations!"

I smile brightly and head up to the stage. I smile bigger when she puts the tiara on my head.

"Now your homecoming king is..." Again, she opens another envelope.

"Luke Davenport! Congratulations!" She announces.

I see Luke walk up to the stage with a lopsided smile slapped on his face.

He bends down and receives his crown from the girl and comes to stand next to me.

"Well I now you get to dance with me." Luke says cockily, with a smirk on his face.

"Fine, lets just get it over with." I say while rolling my eyes.

"Oh but don't you wanna dance with the sexiest guy here?" He says while wiggling his eyebrows like a mad person.

"Just shut up."

"Feisty. I like it."

"Shut it."

He puts his arms around my waist and I put my hands on his chest.

I am not getting closer than that.

"Oh why are your hands there?" He says in a low voice.

"Because I put them there." I say with clenched teeth. He is really getting on my nerves.

"Why don't you put them on-" I cut him off.

"Don't even say it Luke Davenport." I say in a fierce voice.

"Oh, but you know you want it." He says trying to sound sexy.

"Get the hell off of her." I hear a threatening low voice behind me, so I start to turn around.

I see him.

Disheveled hair, anger in his moist eyes, his hands clenched in fists, as he takes a Jack Dempsey stance.

"Tomas?" I manage to whisper as I stand facing him.
