Complicated (Sam Wilkinson)

Chapter 5

Friday, September 18th

It's finally homecoming night and I couldn't be more excited. I just have a feeling it's going to be a fantastic night.

"So we're all going to Cam's after party, right? There's gonna' be a ton of parties going on and I just want to be sure we're all going to the same one" I ask Liz and Cheyenne as we're getting ready.

"Um, is that even a real question? He always throws the best parties, I'm pretty sure the whole school will be at his place" Liz replies. She's right. Cameron is a grade above us, but he's always been a good friend. He's definitely known for his insane parties.

After about half an hour, the 3 of us girls are finally dolled up and ready to head out. We all walk downstairs together and greet our dates outside by Jack's car.

"Woah you look great" Jack compliments. I smile and pull him in for a hug. 

"Thank you" 

The other guys share their compliments towards Liz and Cheyenne then we all load up into the car.

Finally it's time for some fun.

I spend the first 1 1/2 of the dance, dancing to basically every single song that comes on. Now that there's a song that I don't recognize playing, I decide to give my feet a break and grab a drink.

"Well I must say you look great in the dress that I picked out with you" Sam says as he walks up behind me.

I turn to face him. He's dressed in a black blazer with a white shirt underneath, black pants and black Vans. He actually looks pretty handsome.

"Oh come on, you don't actually care that I came here with Jack and not you" I roll my eyes and take a sip of my drink.

He stays silent.

"So you're not going to answer? Its obvious you don't really care, you got a date with the girl you were making out with so fast after I told you I didn't want to go with you. Where is she anyways?" He looks around as if he's panicked.

"I actually have no idea where she went, so I'm gonna go find her" He says before rushing away.

I finish my drink then head back to the dance floor. 2 faster songs play, and then finally a slow song starts, so I find Jack.

I have my arms around his neck and he has his arms around my waist and I feel all tingly inside. The two of us make some small talk for a minute or so, but eventually I decide to just enjoy the moment and not make it awkward by talking. 

As I have my head on Jack's chest, I look around and notice Sam not dancing with anyone, which confuses me, so after the slow song ends I walk over while Jack goes to find the other Jack.

"Was your date in the bathroom that whole song orrrr?" I sit down next to him.

"Well to be honest I didn't bring anyone..." 

"What? But you told me and other people told me you had a date so what happened?" I figure she probably just couldn't make it or something but that isn't the case at all.

"I did have another date but then I changed my mind about going with her, just like you did with me. I kind of want to prove to you that I can keep my eyes on just one girl at a time"

I'm at a loss for words. Why would he want to prove that to me? Why would he want to change the way he's been for years, just to prove something to me? 

"Um... I have to go find Jack..." I stand up and walk back into the crowed of high schoolers. 

The rest of the night is spent dancing, laughing and having a complete blast.

10 PM

The dance is officially over which means it's time to get ready for the after party. 

In the parking lot of the school, I change into some comfier clothes in the back of Jack's car and when I'm finished; Jack, Cheyenne, Liz, their two dates and I make our way to Cam's house.

The energy was so high as we were leaving the dance, so I can already tell this party is about to be wild, I can't wait.

Ending this one here because it's getting long haha. Next chapter will be the afterparty, lots of drama!
