The Drama Begins

~About a month later~

        "Hey, Tori!" Talia had changed a lot since her first day at AHH. She had become popular, and was now a social butterfly.

      "Talia! Hey, gurl!" Tori, on the other hand, was the same as she always was. 

     "Did you hear what happened to William?" Talia asked.

     "No! What happened to my brother?" Tori responded. Her eyes darted to the figure beside her at the table, Will. She usually didn't care about him, but today she did. She heard rumors practically all day about William. Most of them were about him getting kicked off of the basketball team, but one stuck with her. Someone had told her that he and Talia were going to the Valentine's dance together.

     "He's going to the dance!" Talia looked at Will in a dreamy way, " Not only is he going to the dance, but he has a date too!" 

     "With who?" Tori was now staring directly into her brother's eyes.

     "You'll never believe this, but..." Talia wasn't sure if she wanted to say it, or if she should let Will say it. Her eyes gave him a look that said, "You want to interrupt me? Now would be good time," but Will didn't understand. He gave her a confused look in response.

     "Oh... I get it now," his eyes pleaded. Aloud, Will started to speak, "I'm going to the dance with Talia!" he said, excitedly. 

     "What?" Tori shrieked. She was impressed that her unpopular brother found a date before she did.

     "And I'm going to the dance with Will!" Talia stated, even  though she knew Tori knew already.

     "What?" Tori shrieked, even louder than before.

     "Isn't it crazy?" Will asked rhetorically.

     "Yeah! You got a date before I did! I mean..." she looked in Talia's direction. "I'm happy for you, Talia!" Tori looked back at Will. "But him? Why?" she jumped from her seat and ran to her crush across the room.

     "That was weird..." Will said. "She's not usually like tha-" Talia placed her finger across his lips. She pointed to Tori. 

     "Look!" Talia pointed to Tori. They both turned to see what was going on. Tori tripped from running to quickly. She looked at the blondie-boy she was next to. His name was Devon. 

     Devon's emerald eyes beamed. His mouth formed a smile. "Tori?" he asked curious of what her move would be. He held out his hand for her to grab.

     "Devon! Hey! I didn't see you there." Tori held onto Devon's hand, "Thanks." She jumped to her feet. 

     "You didn't? You sort of ran to me," Devon smirked.

     "Oh. Sorry about that," Tori could feel her face turning warm. 

     "Why are you blushing?" Devon stared into Tori's shimmering eyes. 

     "Oh... I... uh...," Tori was practically speechless. Her lemonade colored cheeks darkened into a rosy color.

     "You want me to give you something to blush about?" Devon chuckled. "Somebody get the lights!" He got down on one knee. Nearby girls crowded. Devon's friends were rushing over too.

     "I can't see anymore!" Talia exclaimed to Will.

     "Come on! Let's go take a look," he responded. He held out his hand and Talia took it. They both hopped up and rushed to the crowd. Once they got to a place where they could be together and see at the same time, Will and Talia realized what was going on. Devon pulled a candy ring from his pocket.

     "Will you, Tori, go with me to the dance?" Devon beamed am even bigger smile. A few girls shrieked in the background. Other than that, the room was silent. It was an unusual sound-silence. It didn't occur often. Especially not in the cafeteria. 

     "I.... Devon... dance... umm..." Tori was unsure what to say. You'd think a popular girl getting asked out by her popular crush would automatically shriek, "Yes!" 

     "I ca-"
