Running from love! (Slowly Editing)

The ball

~Chapter 4~

What if I? Had a thing on the side?

Made you cry?

Would the rules change up 

or would they still apply?

If I played you like a toy?

Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy!

~Saturday afternoon~

      I was getting ready for the ball. I didn't even know what I was going to wear and it was already seven. I didn't want to go to that stupid ball with him. I have to think of something. I want to make him really mad! Kayla was with me, trying to fit in one of my dresses. She was going to the ball too, someone asked her and she didn't want to wear any of her dresses so I let her choose one of mine. But what was I going to wear? 

         Half an hour passed and that was when I noticed that yellow long  dress in my closet. I took it in my hands and wondered where did this came from. My older sister must have put it in my stuff when I wasn't looking. However, I wore it and looked my self in the mirror. It wasn't bad. 

          "Oh my god, Angelica, you look wonderful in this dress!" Kayla said excited. "You'll be the prettiest girl in there."

           "Aww, thank you." I replied with a smile. I braided my hair to the side and left a few curls free. I did my make up and by the time I heard a knock on the door, I was ready to leave. Kayla wasn't ready yet 'cause her date wasn't coming to pick her before half past nine. I told her I was leaving and after she warned me to be careful, I was right outside the room. Luke was standing there looking hot in his formal shirt, trousers and jacket. He checked me out and smirked. 

            "You look beautiful!" he said and gave me his arm to hold. I held his arm without saying a word and we started walking.

                The ball was held at the hall of our school so we didn't walk a lot. We got inside the hall. There were tables for couples and tables for more people. He led me to the only table for couples that was free near the stage. Almost everyone was dancing. He pulled the chair for me and I sat. He didn't sit down though. He leaned toward me and whispered to my ear. 

                "So, do you want something to drink?" he asked. I nodded and as soon as he left I relaxed.  Now I just have to wait a little till I get my plan to work for today. I was watching all of the people dancing when I heard someone call my name. I turned to look at the direction the voice came from and I saw Ashton who was approaching me. When I saw him an other idea came through my mind to make Luke mad and jealous. I'm sorry Ashton but I have to do this. 

             "Hey." I greeted him. "How are you?" I asked him and gave him a flirtatious smile. He smiled widely.

                   "I'm fine. How about you? Are you alone at the ball? I thought Luke asked you." He said.

                "No,unfortunately I'm not alone. He went to get us something to drink." I said acting pissed.

                 "Oh!" he just said and then I saw Luke coming with our drinks and an annoyed look on his face. He came, placed our drinks on the table and touched Ashton's shoulder. 

                "Thanks for being a good company for my date while I was gone mate but now it's time for you to go." he said coldly and sat on his chair. Ashton just said something I didn't understand and left. I looked at Luke pissed. 

                    "What?" he asked.

                    "Nothing." I said and turned my head to the stage again, watching the ones who danced. We didn't say a word for a couple of minutes, we just drank our drinks. Luke stood up and came next to me. 

                  "Miss Porter, will you give me this dance?" he asked and gave me his hand. I couldn't help it but smile. I rolled my eyes and took his hand. We got to the stage and started dancing a slow song. He was holding my waist and I had my hands wrapped around his neck. Before the end of the song he did what I was waiting for him to do till we got here, he asked me to be his girlfriend. My plan was going just like I wanted to. I nodded yes and when he wasn't looking I smiled evilly. The song ended and we went back to our table. We talked for sometime, learning as much as we could about each other. Suddenly, his phone rang and he excused his self and went across so he could talk without me listening. It took him so long and I got bored. I spotted Ashton and went over to him. 

                       "Hey again." I said and smiled to him. "I just realised you're alone."

                       "Yes, but you're not!" he said a little harsh. This didn't stop me. 

                       "Yeah, but he's on the phone and I'm so bored. Do you wanna dance with me?" I asked and took my flirty look.

                        "No, sorry. I don't wanna mess with Luke.He won't like it." he said.

                        "I don't care. Come on!" I begged him.

                        "I care. He is a friend of mine."

                        "Please! It's just a dance. Nothing more. I promise." I said and I saw him soften.

                       "Okay." he said, I smiled and took his hand. We went on the stage and started dancing. It wasn't a slow dance, it was a regular dance. I saw that Luke was watching and I started dancing a little provocatively with Ashton. I did this for a while and when I saw him really pissed I told Ashton that I wasn't feeling good and asked him to help me go to my room. He put his hand round my waist to hold me straight and we left from the front door. Before I went out I gave a final look at Luke and smirked. I could tell he seemed really angry!
