CHAPTER 22

(Scarlett)

"Hey! Hey! Wake up!" Someone poked my arm as I slightly move away.

"Scar, wake up!" A female voice maybe.

"Go away!" I muttered, still sleeping.

"SCARLETT, WAKE UP BEFORE I PORE A GLASS OF FREEZING WATER ON YOU!!!" Someone howled, as I sat up in a second.

Dragging my half-awake eyes around my room, I spot Jenny glaring her eyes out at me, with her hands on her waist.

"What is it Jenny, go trouble Ron!" I sigh, before laying back on the bed and pulling the sheets on my face.

"We were gonna hang out today!" She said, pulling the sheets from me.

"We decided to meet at 12, and it's so early..." I almost hit the bed again when my phone rings.

Ding

I pull my phone from the nightstand and turn it up.

Noah: Get up, sleepyhead! It's already 12:30...luv ya

12:30 !!!

How on earth did I not wake? I rush to the washroom, almost knocking over Jenny on my way.

"Oww!" She winced.

"God I am so sorry!" I almost slap my forehead punishing myself for being so careless.

....

"So, here's the plan, first we can spend our day with some Netflix and chill, then almost 3 hours before the dance we can get ready! What say?" God, this woman talks so fast, I almost needed a minute to over through all the things she said.

"Ahm... Okay, that'll work..."

"Great!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands and almost pulling me downstairs toward the living room.

I sighed but followed her, willingly.

....

"Hey, any suggestions?" She asked as we settled on the bin bags with a huge bowl of pops and a few bottles of beer.

"Nah, just something not depressing!" I sighed, as she nodded.

After almost ten minutes of searching, we settled with watching the new movie 'Work It'.

"Anyways where is my stupid brother?" I asked her, while my eyes searched for him in the house.

Jenny giggling beside me, as I gave her a death stare.

"What?" I asked while she was still throwing out her laughter.

"Nothing, I told his he is not to see me before the dance and kicked him out of the house!" My eyes almost popped out, as I laughed.

"You kicked him out of his own house?" I nudged her arm.

"So what, this is what he gets after his yesterday's stunt?" She complained.

"Yeah, whatever!"

We share a laugh before turning back to the movie...

....

30 minutes before the school dance...

"God we are so late, the boys will be here now any minute!" I rushed with the makeup, as Jenny was having trouble with her hair.

Ding

My phone buzzed beside me, as I hurried toward it.

Oh no!

Noah: v r here, come downstairs :D

"The boys are here!!!" I inform Jenny, who was almost done with everything and was slipping her Gucci heels on.

"Great, even I am done, you need some help?"

"No, I am almost done, you know you can go downstairs, right? Cause I am pretty sure Ron would be going nuts right now!!!"

"I guess you're right, I'll get going! Wish me luck!!!"

I gave her a smile before checking myself in the mirror for the last time.

                             .....

As I ascended the last step, Noha held out his hand for me, which I happily took.

I smiled, noticing that he had worn the tux I had selected, even though he was whining about the tux like a baby.

He slowly pulled me into a passionate kiss, before whispering something into my ear.

"God I wish I could just have you all for myself and that we could just skip this stupid dance!" His words made me blush and I was just about to kiss him again, but my stupid brother interrupted us.

"Okay, enough kissing for today, part away!" He almost yells, separating us with his hands.

"Aaron!!!" I scold.

"What?" He frowned, holding onto Jenny's hand.

"Stop annoying them! And let's go! Come on!" Jenny yelled, and then almost dragged him out and drove away, leaving us by ourselves.

"So, you were about to do something?!?" I turn back towards Noha, who was now giving out a sexy smirk...

"Was I?" I tease, as he pulled me closer.

"Oh yes, you were!" He said, and the next second his lips met mine, grasping a hungry kiss from me.

                            ....

"Wow, this huge!" I exclaimed.

The dance was held on one of the biggest properties of the town, thanks to Mason...

The music was hitting me even though we were about a block away, from the party...

"Well, we are assigned on the second floor..." Noha started.

"Second floor?"

He glanced at me.

"Scar, we are the knight... And the knights and there dates or families are supposed to be on the second floor... Away from the stupid crowd... And at our comfort zone..."

"Don't you think this 'Knights' thing is now going too far?!?" I ask...

Like, come on, seriously?

From when do have a school dance with royalty and commons...

"It's an honour, Scar!" He said as he pulled out the car in the parking lot, no scratch that, the knight's parking lot.

He left his seat and walked to my side for giving me a hand.

"Yeah, but isn't school a place where you learn about equality!"

He didn't answer me, instead, he led our way to an elevator.

                             ....

OMG!!!

The second floor was like a completely new world, the crowd was less compared to the first floor, even though this place was huge.

The place was blasting with some solid rock music, while people were screaming and dancing.

Noha led our way to a table in the corner, where my friends were settled with there dates and the bitch.

"Hey!" I greet.

As everyone turned their heads at us.

"Hey, Scar we're playing truth dare you both wanna join?"

"Sure!"

We settled down as Jasper took a beer bottle to spin.

I glanced up to Alana who was now smirking.

Oh boy, guess this was a very bad decision!!!
