Last Chance

Chapter 8

"How the hell could you do that!" I screamed.

 "I'm sorry alright! I didn't know that people would think that!"

 "You're the biggest moron I've ever met Ashton Blake" I hissed at him before turning on my heel and walking away.

"Kat!" he called after me.

I didn't turn around though, I just kept walking. I couldn't believe he'd do something so stupid. Shaking my head I rounded the corner only to come face to face with Jess shoving her tongue down West's throat. 

"THIS IS A SCHOOL FOR GOODNESS SAKE! SAVE IT FOR THE DORM AT LEAST!" I said in disgust before walking off once again.

Things had started off pretty well today, everything seemed to be going ok. I noticed a few people staring at me through out the day but shrugged it off, thinking it was still people staring in shock that I was dance partners with Ashton. It had been about a week, and the day after word spread around the school like wildfire. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but apparently the fan girls thought it was.

'Ashton is so wonderful!'

'You're so lucky to have him as a partner'

'Does this mean you two are dating now?'

Lord knows how they thought that just because I became his dance partner meant that I would instantly become his girlfriend too. I would rather die alone as a crazy dog lady. Kind of like a crazy cat lady but with dogs, I was allergic to cats. Pretty ironic considering certain people whose face I would like to push in, call me Kitty. I furrowed my eyebrows thinking about West and a frown soon followed when Ashton crossed my mind seconds later. 

I know I shouldn't do this but I couldn't stand listening to teachers blubbering on. I stormed out into the cold air and made my way to the dance studio. I pulled my dance bag out from the corner I had hidden it and closed all the curtains before changing quickly. I pulled my pointe shoes on and tightened the ribbons around my ankles. Opening the curtains again I began to warm my feet and ankles up. After a few minutes of warming up I began to go through a few bars exercises before going into my floor routine.

Without thinking about it I started to dance

"Is it true?"

 

"Is what true?"

 

"Are you really dating Ashton? I mean you barely know the guy-"

 

"Whoa back it up a minute! Me date Ashton?"

 

West simply nodded and stared at me trying to decide if he should run for cover or not.

 

I surprised us both by bursting out into a fit of laughter, clutching at my side from the stupid thought of actually dating that idiot.

 

"Not even if hell was to freeze over!" I said between my fits of laughing.

 

"That's all I needed to hear" he said with a smirk before walking away, seeming pretty pleased with himself.

 

Once I had calmed myself down I was suddenly filled with rage. I'm going to kill him. As I made my way down the halls I could feel people staring and caught snippets of their conversations.

 

"Did you hear? Kat and Ashton are now together?"

 

"Why would he pick her? She isn't even pretty"

 

"She is so lucky to be able to date him! I wish I was her"

 

My eyes locked with my target who was leaning against his locker with a small congregation of girls around him. He had a smile on his face that I intended to wipe off by the time I was done with him.

 

"So Ashton what time does the party start?" one of the girls flirted while playing with her hair.

 

"Eight o'clock on the dot, hopefully you can make it. Your friends are welcome to come too" he flirted back.

 

The girls all let out a squeal and one even started to fan her face with her hand. The minute I approached the smile slipped off Ashton's lips when he saw my expression.

 

"Excuse me ladies, girlfriend needs me" he smirked while walking towards me. "Hey baby" he said while opening his arms. 

 

I wacked him in his stomach which caused him to drop his arms immediately when he realised he was an open target.

 

"Don't you baby me!" I seethed.

 

"Look I know what you're think but it's not that bad-"

 

"Not that bad?! Ashton I could not think of anything worse than being with you! I'd rather poke my eyeballs out!"

 

"That would be kinda painful-" he stopped his smart comment when I gave him a glare.

 

"How the hell could you do that!" I screamed.

 

"I'm sorry alright! I didn't know that people would think that!"

 

"You're the biggest moron I've ever met Ashton Blake" I hissed at him before turning on my heel and walking away.

 

"Kat!" he called after me.

 

I didn't turn around though, I just kept walking.

I made my way back into my room after and collapsed on my bed. I wrapped myself up in my sheets and closed my eyes while rolling up in my blanket.

'Like hell I would ever date him' I thought as I closed my eyes with a frown on my face.
