Shift

Chapter 20

After I went shopping with Quency to help Pick out gifts for Lea, we then went to his house, so that he could change into something more formal for the dance.

Quency dropped me off at home and said that he will come around the front door at seven to pick me up. I told my parents that they'll be finally meeting Quency. My mom was excited, dad... not so much.

I changed into a red dress that was gold at the tip and the hem of my dress. The dress was tight but not too tight, I could run and walk still. The dress also flared at the knees, were it reached the floor a little.

My hair was out and glittered, my makeup was in an egyption eye design and my lip gloss was shiney and clear. I had on golden hoop hearings and gold and red shoes, that resembled a smooth glossy fire. I felt confident and ready.

I headed down the stairs where Quency waited with my parents, they finally got the chance to meet today, since I've talked about him alot but hadn't shown them his face. When I came down they seemed to be having a quiet conversation. If I wasn't mistaken, I think they might have known who he was.

Everyone looked up at me and was stunned. Quency starred hard and then smiled "You look dazzling"

My mood picked up and I thought today wasn't gonna be so bad after all.

      ...........

We entered the dance room after my mom took annoying pictures of us(it's my first night out, don't judge) and then dropped us off at school.

We walked in and I became a little self-conscious. Eyes were on us as we entered, that's when Quency's hand tightly held on to my hand.

Quency bent down to my ear "wanna dance?" Even with the loud music he didn't have to shout, I could hear him perfectly.

I nodded and he led me onto the dance floor and held me close. It was as if everything disappeared and it was just me and him.

My magical moment was cut short by Lea "Hey, may I cut in?"

I looked up at him, then backed up to let her cut in "go ahead." I turned and walked towards the dessert table depressed. I sadly drank some punch as I watched Quency and Lea dance.

I admit I was jealous of her. I watched as she flirtivly giggled and how he returned the smile. Feeling sick, I turned from the sight, only to see Lisa.

She laughed "oh I see your so pathetic that you actually dressed up for a guy who's already taken."

I was hurt and angry enough, I knew I had to getaway from here before I breakdown, so I yelled "Just shut up and leave me alone!" I turned and rushed towards the exit. I rushed passed Quency and Lea, but slipped a little and felt pain shoot through my left leg as I caught myself by accidentally pushing Lea down.

Quency picked her up and looked at me with anger, disappointment, and disbelief.

Lea turned her head in my direction and spoke with a smile "You deserve nothing but the worst. You were never a friend..... but I used you with great potential...." she paused as her expression became serious "were done!" She said loud enough for only me to hear.

I was truly pissed....Royally pissed. I slapped her hard and loud. She faked a shocked expression and held her face. Quency pulled her back behind him to face me.

People looked at the scene but the music was too loud for us to be heard by anyone else, except those who were close by.

"I expected better of you, what are you trying to do?!"

Tears threatened to spill as I spoke "how dare you take their side!" I shook my head "Why are we even...." I gestured between us, deliberately avoiding the word 'mated' so that if anyone where to listen, they wouldn't understand. ".....I mean do you even understand me or do you just shune everyone and everything out, just to focus on you and you alone?!"

He reached out to touch my arm. "No!" I yanked back "I hate all of you, you deserve eachother, your both liers, and manipulative, and only think about yourselves!" By then tears ran down my cheeks, I turned and without a second look back, I ran out and into the rain.
