Listen To Your Heart

The Dress

12:45 p.m.
Carlos was silently eating his lunch, looking up every once in a while to see if his friends were here. He saw the commotion that Evie and Jay made, and wondered if they were planning on making Doug jealous. He could practically feel Audrey's eyes burn holes in Evie's head befor she ran away. Doug just look depressed sitting next to a jabbering Crystal. He was afraid her jaw was going to unhinge from how fast she was talking.

But Evie and Jay were gone, Mal and Ben were probably having some romantic lunch or whatever, leaving him sitting by himself like a loser. That was until he saw Jane walking around with a tray of food. He was about to call her name when Ali came up to talk to her. Carlos hated Ali. He was Aziz's younger brother, so he was 15. He was really arrogant and kind of a player. Not like Chad,though. He was worse because no one knew that he played girls. Carlos only knew because he saw him flirt with a girl while he had a girlfriend.

Carlos rolled his eyes as he saw Ali kiss Jane's hand, making her blush. Then they sat at a table out of earshot. Carlos couldn't help and and curiosity got the best of him. He quietly sneaked up to them to eavesdrop on their conversation.
*****************************************
Jane walked aimlessly around trying to find a place to eat. She liked eating in the commons better than the cafeteria, because her friends were out there. Well, she hoped they were her friends. Ben was nice to everyone since he is the king, Mal was her first true friend, Evie liked giving her makeovers, Jay saw her as a cute lil' munchkin, his words not hers. And Carlos, well she wasn't sure what they were anymore. After their kiss, it was awkward and they haven't talked for days. But they were most likely still friends.

"Jane?" She was snapped out of her thoughts by a person standing in front of her. They were dressed sharply and had a tattoo of a lamp on their wrist. Could it be...?

"Ali," she said surprised. "Hi!"

"My lady,"Ali said, kissing her hand. Jane blushed.

"Um, yeah, hi. Wh-what are you..um..doing here?"

Ali chuckled. "Well it's lunch time, so I thought I'd get something to eat, you know?"

"Oh."Jane blushed at her dumb question.

Ali laughed. "Um, I actually came to talk to you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I wanted to give you this." He held out a a bouquet of blue roses to her. Jane gasped. They were her favorite flowers. They are extremely rare and only grow in a secret cove by the enchanted lake that was overgrown and covered in moss. Past the initial grossness, the cove opened up to a clearing of trees with a little brook. It wasn't as dazzlingly beautiful as the 'Spot', the name they had given to where Mal and Ben had their first date, but it was remote and quiet and she loved  going there. No one but her and Ben knew about it. She would go there and just think, or read. It was peaceful and serene, unlike Auradon. But the roses there were so unique and beautiful. They were her favorite color, pale blue. "They're beautiful! How'd you know they're my favorite?"

"Your mom told me."

"Really? You asked my mom?"

"No, she mentioned it when I asked her something else."

"Oh."

"Yeah I asked for her permission to ask you out."

"What?"

Ali blushed. "Jane, will you be my date to prom?"

Jane gasped and blushed. She couldn't believe that this was happening. She had dreamed about this moment, but she never thought that it would actually happen to her. She had to pinch herself to realize this wasn't a dream.
