Our Fate Under Stars

Chapter Twenty-One

Ariana's P.O.V:

Two Hours before Winter Fest, 6PM.

"You guys look STUNNING in your dresses!!" Camila squeals twirling around in her Red Ruby gown. "It's true, Ariana you did a great job on the dress!! Baby blue looks gorgeous on you. Oh and before I forget.." She searches her purse rapidly, "your earrings!" She hands me the diamond earrings I bought to match my snowflake necklace.

"You guys look beautiful as well, your boyfriends are very lucky, you two are the most amazing girls I know and I hope they treat you the way you deserve to be treated and more." Clearly my speech moved them because Skylar shed a tear and Camila rushed to hug me tight.

"And Dylan is lucky to have you as well Ari." Camila squeezes my arms and looks at me in awe. Dylan.. "You guys.. Dylan and I broke up last night, he will always be my best friend nothing's changed. I'm not sad at all not broken-hearted, he's an amazing kindhearted person but it wasn't meant to be. On the other hand though.. Justin gained a date." I wink at both of them before turning around to look myself in the mirror, "So who's gonna do my makeup?"

"Oh Ariana.." I hear Skylar mumble behind me. "Look girls, I'm not hurt or sad, I'm happy for every single one of you guys, please don't think otherwise."

They both nod and grab their makeup tools. Time to get all bedazzled. Makeup was never my thing but I let Camila do her work of art on my face, as much as she needed. And she knows exactly my taste in these kinds of situations, so I know she won't be going too overboard.

Hayden's P.O.V:

Holly helps me put my tie on and fixes a fallen hair strand from my face, I'm supposed to pick up Jennifer in a bit, I'm waiting for her cue. Jennifer is a nice girl from my french class, I was desperate for a date to the dance and she had no one so I took my shot.

  I would've wanted to go with Ariana, real badly, but I guess it's not happening knowing she'll be going with Dylan. I reach out to grab my phone and check my messages.

*Message from Jennifer*
'Hey Hayden, turns out Jack dumped his date to take me instead! I hope you'll do fine, have fun! So sorry for the last minute change of plan xx'

  Great. Now I don't even have a date. I can't wait for this night to be over already..

At Winter Fest

Let's get this night over and done with. Sigh. As soon as I walk into the doors of the gym, loud music greets my ears and people talking and laughing can be heard around and everywhere, along with spoons and forks clattering on the plates, holding delicious looking dishes.

I look around for anyone I know, only person I could find was Jennifer in the middle of a heated make out session with Jack. At least one of us is having a good time.

Couple minutes later, Liam and Camila are seen walking through the door, greeted by a few other couples. As soon as they notice me looking at them, they walk over to me. Camila is wearing a long red ruby gown along with a mistletoe hair clip keeping her hair from falling on her face.

"Hey Hayden! Where's Jennifer?" Camila asks waving at me. "Err- let's just say she had other plans.."

"It's nice to see you Hayden, you look great man." Liam nicely greets me with a pat on the shoulder. "Thanks Liam, likewise, it's been a while." He flashes me a smile as Camila starts talking again, "Sky and Zach should be here any minute, as for Ariana I think she might need an escort in, Dylan and Justin are on their way as well."
