Treacherous

Chapter 8 ( Part 1) : Save Me A Dance

Valentine's POV

"How about this one?" Amanda said as she held out a yellow sundress, that had flower prints on it. I looked at it and slowly shook my head.
"No, the colour is too bright," I said disapprovingly. Amanda nodded her head and hung the dress back to where it was.

Amanda and I were at the mall, looking for a sundress. And till now, I disliked them all.

"You need to decide on something, Val! We've been here for almost two hours," Amanda said with a groan. My eyes widened,"Woah, did you just tell me to hurry up with shopping?" Amanda rolled her eyes at me and we both went back to skimming for sundresses.

When I went to a different rack, I found it. A light turquoise dress with beautiful embroideries. I reached out for the dress and went to the trial room to try it.

I wore the dress and looked at the mirror. I held in a gasp and I ran my hand delicately on the dress. The dress was soft and almost felt like it was velvet.

I knew this was the perfect dress.

"Hurry up Val!" Amanda snaps at me. I chuckle at her impatience while walking out.

I heard Amanda blow the whistle at me. With shaking my head, I laughed at her.

"Buy it! Buy it!" Amanda chirped and I nodded at her. I went back inside the trial room and changed back into my clothes.

Amanda and I walked to the payment section. I quickly paid for the dress, then we went to Starbucks.

Amanda and I dumped our shopping bags on the table and we sat down.

"So, did Connor ask you to Summer Ball?" Amanda asked. I shook my head. I was a little upset. I mean, I'm looking forward to this dance also, I want to attend this with my boyfriend. And my stupid boyfriend hasn't asked me yet.

"Don't let it affect your mood Val, he'll ask you," Amanda reassured me with an encouraging smile. I nodded at her and gave her a thankful smile.

"So? Tell me, Amanda. Any new boy?" I asked her with a teasing smile. Amanda's eyes widened and her cheeks turned crimson red. I gasped dramatically and said, "Amanda you have a crush and you didn't think it was important to tell me?!"

She rolled her eyes at me and said, "alright, I'll tell you," I nodded eagerly for her to go on.

"It's Andrew, I know he's a player and he's a total jerk. But listen to me first. We had to work on a project together and he is honestly sweet. He is just misjudged and misunderstood. I mean, he wasn't a jerk to me. I don't know. He's different from the other guys I've met, Valentine. After a long time, I'm finally happy. The problem is that I don't think he feels the same way about me." Amanda added sadly.

My eyes were open big and mouth agape with shock. I quickly composed myself and said, "you like Andrew? Zander Black's best friend?" She nodded her head.

I slowly swallowed this unbelievably shocking news in.
"Okay so now listen to me, Andrew may not be a big player like Zander but just be careful okay? Take your time with taking things slow." I told her. She nodded and mumbled an okay.

Amanda and I ordered our drinks and chatted away like we had all the time in the world. At the back of my mind, I was still thinking about why didn't Connor ask my for the dance yet.

Does he even wants to go?

What if he's thinking that I don't want to attend?

Oh, gosh. This is getting to my head.

If Connor doesn't ask me, I will still go with my best friend.

My best friend.

Andrew.

Zander.

My eyes widened at this thought and Amanda noticed this.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing. Come on, Amanda lets go back home, I'm tired."

She still had a suspicious look on her face but she didn't push it. We both gathered our stuff and walked to my car.

After dropping Amanda home, I drove to my house. I pulled up to the driveway to my garage then went inside my house. I went up to my room and called Zander.

"Well, this is a surprise. Valentine Wood is calling me." An egoistic voice said. I rolled my eyes at him and jumped straight to the point.

"What does Andrew thinks about Amanda?"

"Umm, what?" Zander says from the other side of the phone, completely dumbfounded.

I giggled at his confusion.

"I'm asking you what does Andrew thinks of Amanda? Does he like her?" I asked him again. He stayed silent for a couple of mins.

"I don't know Valentine. I never asked him and he never told me." He told me. "Why do you even ask me this?"

I contemplated whether I should tell him or not. I decided, I'd be needing his help in the near future so it's better if I just tell him.

"I'll tell you but not right now. First, I need you to find out what does Andrew think of Amanda."

"Alright. Fine. But what's in it for me?" I sighed. "I'll tell you why I want to know this."

"You really think I'm stupid? I really mean it, what's there in it for me?" He ended with a snort. I rolled my eyes, "fine. What do you want?"

"Save me a dance." After saying that he hung up. My eyes widened at what he asked.

Zander wants me to save a dance for him? But why?

It's official. I'm delusional or that really just happened.

Of course, that happened, you idiot!

Oh, how I've missed my conscious (please note the sarcasm).

Zander Black, you will get what you asked.

~~~~~~

It was the last day of asking your girlfriend or boyfriend to the dance. And tomorrow is the Summer Dance.

Guess what? Connor hasn't asked me to the dance.

I shrugged these negative thoughts, walking over to my locker. I grabbed my books and as soon as I shut my locker and turned around, Connor was standing with a nervous smile.

Normally, I would hold his hand and give it a squeeze and ask him to tell me but right now I'm angry at him.

I glared at him and he gave me a sheepish smile.

"I know you're mad at me, but I still did not ask you to the dance. I'm going to pick you up at 4:00pm and I'm taking you somewhere. Wear anything, you'll look beautiful anyway."

After saying that, he kissed me on the lips and walked away.
I stood rooted to my spot and repeated what he said in my head.

Awe Connor is putting effort. He is so cute.

I giggled and shook my head.

Well, Connor, let's see what you've got planned.
