Listen To Your Heart

Betrayal

Audrey accepted Jay's hand and they both walked towards the dance floor. All eyes were on them. Everyone knew about the tourney incident and seeing those two together could only mean trouble. Mal and Ben watched anxiously hoping that what would happen next would be good, or at least not destructive.

"Give me something with a little kick!" Audrey told the DJ. Sure enough he put on a Latin track, and Audrey and Jay began to tango. Everyone else on the dance floor backed away and made room for them. (Imagine Selena Gomez and drew seeley in another Cinderella story)

Audrey and Jay flew across the dance floor in a flurry of grace. People could feel the tension so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. But all eyes were on the dancing couple. Jay spun Audrey and dipped her.

"Hmm," Audrey said. "Not bad."

"Thank you," Jay said smugly.

"But not good either," Audrey said. Jay frowned. She let go of his hand and did a twirl and flip in the air, landing perfectly on her feet. Jay stood, shocked. But soon enough he went to the ground and did some more flips and break dancing to one up her. He got ahold of Audrey's hand again and spun her towards him. She put one of her hands on his shoulder, pushing him back as they danced. Jay was starting to get flustered at her closeness. The music paused for an instant.

"You know Jay," Audrey whispered in his ear. "I might have a thing for bad boys." That caused a lump in his throat.

"What?" He hoarsely replied.

"Yeah," Audrey said. She leaned in closer. "Guys who hold their own, really turn me on!"

Jay was even more flustered and reddening by the second. She was trying to get in his head and make him mess up. Well, two could play at that game. He immediately spun her again and dipped her again, catching her off guard. She gasped in surprised but continued dancing. They were both breathing hard and only getting closer. The song was just about to end and their face were inches apart. Jay started to lean in and so did Audrey.

But right when it looked like they were going to kiss, Jay said," I think I won this round, princess." And pulled away. Audrey stood there, frozen. She looked around at everyone staring at her, and she noticed Florian off by himself, looking heartbroken. She couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the room. She needed fresh air and some room to think about what just happened.

She made it outside and was making her way to her dorm when she heard footsteps behind her. She looked behind her shoulder to see Jay behind her. She quickened her footsteps, but Jay caught up to her and spun her around to face him.

"Where are you going?" He asked, catching his breath.

Audrey rolled her eyes, wiping tears that had formed in her eyes. "I'm going as far away from you as possible!"

Jay winced. "Ouch, that hurts. You're just mad I won."

"Look Jay," Audrey said, getting angry. She liked him in the chest. "I don't know what game you're playing, but I don't want to play anymore. It's so frustrating. Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"Does it look like I freaking know?!" Jay yelled at her. She stood there shocked, her mouth agape.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I don't know!"

"Come on, Jay. You have to know!"

"Look, I can't explain this. But I like messing with you. It's fun and your reactions are hilarious." Jay said honestly.

"So I'm like a little sister to you?" Audrey asked. Part of her wished that wasn't the case.

"I guess."

"Well I think we're done here," Audrey huffed.

"Oh come on Audrey!"

"This," she said gesturing between them. "Isn't over!" She left and went to her dorm room. Jay smirked and went on his way back to the dance.

"No, it's just beginning...."
******************************************
Jane was talking to Lonnie, when Carlos came up. "Hey Jane, Lonnie."

"I have to go find Chad," Lonnie excused herself. She gave Jane a look, and headed off towards her boyfriend. Jane watched Lonnie leave, confused.

"Hey Carlos!" Jane said. "How's your prom going?"

Carlos nervously scratched the back of his neck. "It could be better."

"What do you mean?"

"Annabelle dumped me."

"Aww. I'm sorry. Why?"

"It's not important," Carlos definitely couldn't tell Jane the reason because it could lead to many more things he didn't want to deal with now. "Oh and I'm sorry about your dress. Annabelle told me she stole it. Why didn't you tell me?"

Jane blushed. "I didn't want to ruin her for you."

Carlos smiled. Jane was such a sweet and kind person. "Really? That's so selfless of. And by the way, I think the dress you're wearing now is much more gorgeous than Annabelle's."

Jane's blush only worsened and Carlos for bad himself blushing too. They stood in silence just looking at each other, not saying a word. Finally Jane, broke the awkward silence.

"Well if you'll excuse me, I need to find Ali." Jane hugged him and went to find her date. Carlos watched, solemnly. If only he had the courage to tell her how he felt. But he can't ruin her happiness with Ali. She didn't do it with Ananbelle and he certainly wasn't going to do it either.

Jane looked all over the dance, but couldn't find Ali. Finally her heard his voice coming from behind the punch table, behind a curtain. She pulled back the curtain and found Ali and Annabelle making out.

"Ali?" Jane said, trying to hold back tears.

Annabelle and Ali immediately pulled away. Annabelle smirked, but Ali looked like a deer caught in headlights.

"Jane," he said. "It's not what it looks like!"

"Really?" Jane said sarcastically. "Because it looks like my date is kissing another girl at Prom!"

"Then it's exactly what it looks like!" Annabelle said cheerfully.

"Jane-"

"Save it! How could you?" Jane wasn't even trying to stop the flood of tears trickling down her face. "I trusted you."

"Oh boohoo!" Annabelle said, getting all up in her face. "Why don't you go cry to Carlos? It seems like you two are real close. Face it, Ali doesn't like a little girl like you. He prefers a real woman like me!"

"Ali?" Jane said softly, looking at him. He was looking at the ground, ashamed. Jane got the memo and left them alone. She couldn't let people see her cry so she ran out the building and headed to the one place that could help her forget her troubles, even if for just a moment: her secret cove.
