If Sammii felt bad, Dani felt horrible. She got the first dance and instead of relishing the fact, she was off in her world feeling bad that it hadn’t been Ezra to go first. So technically Sammii had been her date first, but then he was Ezra’s date. But then he hadn’t planned on coming so Ezra was her date and what? Crap. As simple as that was, it made her head throb because she knew deep down that the only person Sammii wanted to a date for was Ezra. It wasn’t supposed to hurt this much, but oh, it did. Being forgotten compared nothing to how it felt to be this close to someone and know you could tell them anything in the world except the once sentence that mattered the most. She was trying but how did you not feel bad when the guy you had fallen for called you his ‘best friend’ and talked to you about how much he liked another guy? She was trying to ignore it and he unknowingly made it so hard for her. It tore apart at her insides and made her want to cry and she wasn’t one to cry easily.
God, he was positively gorgeous. No, beautiful. Dani couldn’t help but mirror his smile back to him. It was the hardest thing to do; to feel him wrap his arms around her waist and know that the connection between them was not that kind of love. He probably wished he was dancing with Ezra right now. Ugh, just the thought of them this way, bodies close, arms around each made her stomach churn in painful jealousy. But that’s the way it went, you know? Ezra was the one, not her. He was better, somehow. Obviously, if Sammii loved him. She hadn’t chosen this! She hadn’t woken up one day and picked Sammii and said ‘I think I’ll fall in love with you.’ If anything, she had done the opposite! She was trying to not to fall in with him. She was doing everything in her power to make things go back to the way they used to be. She wanted nothing more to have Sammii be like her brother; her best friend and feel only mutual love for him. She didn’t want to be stuck in this stupid state of mind where all she could think about was his face. Where all she ever did was pathetically remember times they had shared. Moments when his hand touching hers meant nothing more than a simple gesture of friendship. She was so goddamn pathetic and she knew it. And even worse? Sammii just didn’t get it. He was oblivious and part of her was thankful for that but how the hell could you not realize it? She didn’t understand why he had such low confidence. They boy was illusion of untouchable beauty if there was one. And she was one who wasn’t supposed to him that way. Her heartbeat quickened pitifully when he leaned in to her. This was as close as she would ever get to him. Dani bit her lips and sighed. “Honestly, Sammii. It’s nothing. It’s not important, I promise.” She rolled her eyes in an attempt to look like nothing was bothering her and laughed heartlessly. “Killingston is no one to me. He just a jerk who has no life.” Danni’s eyes went a little wide and she reflexive tightened her hold on him. “Sammii, no! Why would I be mad at you? I wanted you to go with him, remember? Ezra’s…great.” She finished lamely. This was so not working.
She didn’t know what to say. She felt like opening her mouth could only lead to more questions and trouble. It always did. And there was no way she was telling him the truth. She just had a headache, yeah, that was it! She didn’t like the look on his face. She could tell he was starting to feel bad and it was all her fault. He was supposed to be having fun, dancing with Ezra, having the time of his life and she was ruining everything once again. Dani James: The only person who can successfully ruin such a simple night without saying a word. “There’s nothing to tell, Sammii,” She started. She didn’t want him to feel this way. He almost looked ready to cry and she wouldn’t have that. “Sammii please don’t worry about it. I promise I just have a headache. I swear.” God, she was horrible. Now she was lying to her best friend. Dani rubbed innocent circles into the boys neck and searched his face. “Please?” No matter how much she pleaded, she had a feeling this wasn’t going to end this easily. Sammii wasn’t one to give up that easily. He cared too much about her to let it go and he could read her so well sometimes, like now for instance, that it wasn’t always good thing.

Jordan didn't have any problems with Sammii and Dani leaving her and Ezra there, even though she had only just arrived. She wasn't there to only hang around with her friends. She did have a date, although he wasn't here yet. Not that she knew of, anyways. Once she found him, she'd hang out with him, mostly. Maybe with Ezra and Smammii and Dani, too, but he was her priority....not that she had a real sense of that. More likely than not, she'd be running around talking to a friend here, a friend there. But it was because she needed to do something else besides just dancing. Talking to friends was one of those things. Besides, if he couldn't keep up with her, then he wasn't right for her. Simple as that.
Jordan watched as Sammii and Dani bid them farewell, and went off through the crowds to find a place to dance. The crowds were thick with many people busting moves here and there, and before long, she lost sight of the two. It wasn't much of a surprise that she couldn't see them anymore, actually. Just after they disappeared, the song changed to a much slower one. She shook her head before she could think anymore of them. She could talk to them later, when they came back from dancing, so, instead, she turned her attention to Ezra. At his reply, she frowned. She could tell that he was not telling the truth. Sure, he may feel somewhat good, but there was something else there. However, if he didn't like whatever feeling it was, she wouldn't press him to reveal it. She wasn't mean, and never would be. Well, not mean to him, in any case.
"Well, that's good," she replied, placing a large grin back upon her lips. "And I'm absolutely fantastic! Just waiting for Zack to arrive....he hasn't yet..." She looked around again, cursing her short height for not being able to see all the way around the room. Then again, most people couldn't. But she most definitely couldn't. Well, she only hoped that she'd be able to see him, or he'd come looking over here for her. Whatever worked. Meh, she'd probably leave the table in a bit to go searching for him, in any case. Just because she needed to be able to spend time with him, too. [/blockquote]

He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even notice that Jay was frowning at him after his response. He found himself biting his lip, playing with the silver snakebites that gleamed in the light(s)—that depended on whether you were focusing on the dim light that flickered on and off above the rows of tables or the purple, green, blue, and whatever the hell that fourth color was that bounced off the walls of the actual dance floor. Keep away from those thoughts, he told himself angrily, searching his mind for anything else to think about. How about friends, like Kjara and Jackson? He wondered if either of them had dates...or if they’d actually show up to the dance. He could easily see Jackson there; that boy was into partying like it was nobody’s business. But Kjara? She seemed like a party girl, but he had this itching feeling that she wasn’t going to show, which was upsetting; he had looked forward to seeing all of his friends dressed up. So far everyone cleaned up very, very well. Maybe there was some secret to looking ridiculously amazing that he wasn’t quite getting. To Google!
‘And I'm absolutely fantastic! Just waiting for Zack to arrive....he hasn't yet...’
“That’s great,” he replied, smile despite himself at Jay. She was so cute when she smiled. It was like having your own personal teddy-bear walk around with you at school. It was virtually impossible to be unhappy with that kid around; Ezra found his worries about Sammii and Dani slipping back into the dark depths of his mind where they had come from. It was so nice to have actual friends. From the beginning of freshman year, he’d surrounded himself with people that he had no cares for (though were unfairly beautiful, if that was anything). The only person who actually kept him company was Jackson, and he rarely got to see him in the school day. But come senior year, he found he had more friends than he could take care of. Their interest in him seemed to have come in with people like Sammii and Kjara, who had the first spark of a relationship with him. And as much as he wanted to whine in a little emo corner about how life was unfair and he couldn’t get his hair to do that thing like that kid in that band, it was impossible to wipe the grin that had spread across his features. Damn you, Jay. Damn you and your ability to make everything alright. “Zack...Zacky Vineyard?” That was the only Zack he knew, anyway. He hadn’t really talked to that kid all that much, but if Jay liked him, Ezra liked him.
Though he was fighting the urge to delve back into his jealous thoughts, he found his gaze swing over at Sammii and Dani. It was nothing, right? Slow dance between friends. Nope, doesn’t matter at. all. It still bothered him what was worrying Dani, though. It wasn’t like she was about to go perform surgery on someone’s brain, or tell a child that her parents weren’t actually her parents—or, hell, even give birth herself. It was a stupid dance, or so he had told himself, and there was nothing to be afraid about. Except for...Sammii leaning in like that. He could imagine his breath hitting her face, his arms wrapped tightly around her in desperation. He returned his gaze to Jaybird, partially because he didn’t want to see them dancing and partially because it was kind of rude to take his attention away from the girl when she was so obviously excited about being with her friends. “The dance floor’s really packed,” he blurted out for lack of things to say. Plus, it gave him an excuse to look out at the dance floor—even though most likely everyone in the general country knew what was really going on in his mind. Damn, it was like some sort of magnet; his gaze swung over to Dani again and he froze completely. Her...her eyes...
Fuck. He felt his eyes widen a little as he gaped at what he saw. Dani and...Sammii? It couldn’t have been right. Ezra shook his head, thinking that maybe if he blinked a few times and readjusted his eyes to the light, things would turn out different. They didn’t. With an obvious effort he pulled his eyes off of Dani’s and onto the dark surface of the table where his hand rested. She—Sammii’s best friend was—in love with him. It made his stomach lurch that she looked the same way at him that he did, that she shared the same feelings, the same thoughts, dreams, desires—love. That what she thought about when she saw people holding hands was what he thought about when he saw people holding hands. That when she lay on her bed, curling her fingers around the soft sheets, she could still smell him. He felt himself growing sick at these thoughts, that Sammii was dancing with her at the very moment to the slowest fucking song that had played all night, and choked a little at the thought of it. Clearing his throat and putting on a face that was as drained of emotion as possible, he looked up at Jay and mumbled quietly, “I’m going to go take a...walk.” Pushing himself out of his seat, he drifted away, considerably paler than before.

[/i] But it was something, Sammii knew it was. No one could be perfectly fine and look the way Dani did right now. And if she refused to tell him, it must be something really bad. Some huge, deep dark secret he couldn't know. Which was weird. Him and Dani told each other everything--at least he did. He had been sure Dani didn't keep secrets from him though. Therefore, it had to be bad to keep from him, right? It wasn't "nothing" and it certainly was important. So what could be wrong? He wished he could place it; he felt like he should know or at least be able to figure it out by now. And when he finally did get Dani to tell, he had the feeling it was going to be one of the most obvious things in the world. That's always how these things worked, wasn't it? " Come on Dani...we both know that's not true. Why are you lying to me? Is it that bad?" he said; voice quiet enough so that only she could hear, loud enough to be heard over the music. Sammii was surprised by her reaction after he'd asked if it was him or Ezra. Those words--her answer--he could tell they weren't that true though. The way she'd said that Ezra was "great" had sounded unsure and unconfidant. He chewed on his bottom lip for a second, snakebites hitting against his teeth. Sammii had the feeling this really was all about Ezra. Ever since Dani had figured out he liked the demon, and especially since she'd had them go to the dance together, thigns had been different between him and her. Things had been more...tense. He'd never really realized that until now though. Dani wasn't happy about "giving him up"--of course Sammii had known that--but he hadn't realized how much. Where had the times gone? And why did they have to change now? Ezra coming into the picture shouldn't have made such a big impact on the way him and Dani were...could he? Dani should know that Sammii wouldn't spend any less time with her. Damn jealousy...he really hated it. The slow song continued and Sammii kept dancing with Dani. He listened as she spoke again. He was still unable to believe her. It was really upsetting him that she seemed so upset by something and that she was lying to him. It was horrible to see her this way during the dance. Everyone was supposed to be having fun. Not moping around for reasons no one else could know about. How could he do anything but worry about it? But he could at least say he wouldn't, hearing her repeat the word "please" again. " Okay...I won't," he said. Sammii even managed to put a smile on his face for her. Sammii took a quick sweep of the club (eyes "happening" to move towards where they'd left Ezra and Jay) to see the demon getting up and walking away. Fear ran through him. Why the fuck was Ezra leaving?! Great...Dani was upset with him...Ezra was upset with him too now. Everyone was upset at him! Sammii quickly turned his attention back to dancing with his best friend. This night wasn't going exactly the way he'd imagined it, was it? His best friend wasn't having fun...Ezra was getting up and going he had no idea where...and now Sammii wasn't having a good time. How could he have a good time if the two people he loved the most weren't? After a while the slow song he'd been dancing with Dani to ended and Sammii looked at Dani. " Do you wanna do another dance or go back to the table, love? I wanna do whatever you want to," he offered, a smile lighting up his face and eyes.[/color][/ul][/blockquote][/size]

How was she supposed to breathe with Sammii looking at her that way? With him leaning that close her, breath in her face making her thoughts so dizzy, she couldn’t think straight? How was she supposed to do anything rationally when he had her absolutely head over heels for him and he torturing her without even knowing it? It wasn’t easy at all. There was no simplicity to this, She was tangled up in her ridiculous desires and there was no way out. And here Sammii was, concerned expression, pretty face, way too close and she couldn’t do anything about it. She didn’t like lying to him; he was her best friend. Even closer than Logan and Monster and that was pretty damn close. Close enough to be in each other’s heads, and know what the other felt at times. There were too many feelings running through her head and she couldn’t explain one to him without explaining the other and there was no way in hell she was going to ruin this for him and tell him she was in love him because that would only fuck everything up and make Sammii sad and uncomfortable and it would make Ezra hate her for sure. She and Ezra weren’t that great of friends but for Sammii’s sake, she was trying. She wasn’t going to stand in his way or stop him from being with Sammii. He won. End of story. Ha. Yeah, right, like it could ever be that easy. Sammii was to smart for him own good sometimes. And other times, it was like he couldn’t see what was right in front of him. How could he not know? Eh, better not to question it. She was glad he didn’t know. Well, he didn’t know exactly. He was starting to catch on.
"Come on Dani...we both know that's not true. Why are you lying to me? Is it that bad?"
Damn him. His voice was like music to her ears. Sad music, that made her want to cry. I don’t want to lie to you! I’m sorry! Dani bit her bottom lip and for a second, she almost faltered but she caught herself in time. “What does it matter?” She straightened up and put on a more stoic expression. “Excuse me, are you calling me a liar? First off, If I had wanted to tell you, I would have and secondly, there is nothing to tell.” She did her best to keep her voice firm but not angry and stared at Sammii. He right, she knew. But that didn’t mean she was going to tell him. How could she? God, she was screwing this up so bad. Normally, she wasn’t too bad at Lying when she needed to. She never liked to, but if she absolutely had to she could it well enough. Just not tonight. All these emotions were getting to her. All of Sammii’s concern was making her want to breakdown and confess. She couldn’t let that happen. And she couldn’t let Sammii find out. Damn, she cursed herself. She shouldn’t have said anything. Her tone was giving her away.
Dani locked eyes with her best friend.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. That was all she could--and was going to--say. Even if he didn’t understand it. She kept a hold of his gaze for a moment before looking away and back past him. What was supposed to be a great nice had turned into a stupid mess and she was to blame. Why couldn’t she just get her goddamn emotions together? “Thanks.” She had a feeling Sammii wasn’t finished. He would corner her later or force it out of her and that was what she feared the most. But for now, it appeared he was going to drop the subject and so she put on a smile for him too and kept dancing. Of course, that smile lasted a whole ten seconds seeing as her eyes involuntarily followed Sammii’s across the room to none other than their table and caught Ezra leaving the site. What the hell? Her eyes went wide and got a hold of Sammii’s face. Her smiled faded. Great. Now Sammii’s night was going to be completely ruined. She knew that for whatever exact reason Ezra had left, there was a 99 percent chance it had something to do with her. Her head dropped a little. Look at what she was doing to her friends.
Finally, the song ended and even though Sammii was trying to act the opposite, she knew he wanted to go after Ezra. She declined his offer and shook her head, trying to act normal. “Uh, no…Its okay. I saw Ezra leave and ..uh…we might wanna go see what’s wrong.” There she went lying again. Dani grabbed Sammii’s hand and squeezed it. “Let’s go find you date.”

x "My god I’m such an idiot. This is not how I wanted to spend my evening." she groaned in embarrassment. This dress looked ridiculous on her body. The black and white silk clung to her sun tanned skin, her bi-colored eyes searching the grounds for her friends. With a look behind her, to make sure no one knew who she was, she walked towards two tables. There stood Dani and Sammii with Jay-bird. Her heart skipped a beat as she resisted the urge to flee into the comforting darkness on the outer skirts of the dance floor. But she promised her friends she would come to this damn dance, and here she was. As she watched Dani pull away from Sammii, she couldn't help but feel a deep sadness when she saw the look in Dani's eyes. It was, not exactly terrible, but bad that she was in love with her best friend. She watched Ezra walk out of the dance room, and she started to follow all three when Dani and Sammii seemed to follow him like ducklings. She looked around, one last time, and sighed with relief when she didn’t see Blair or William around. The envy flowed through her veins as she remembered the day she asked Blair who was taking her to the dance. “I’m going with William.” Though she hated to admit, she was heartbroken. Since the first day she laid eyes on the demon, her heart stopped. Well, skipped a few beats. And ever since then that is how it has always been, and most likely will be. But she couldn’t help but be happy for the ever more perfect vampire. Blair was so popular, so beautiful, and so dagom lucky! Her nostrils flared as she exited the building and looked at her friends. ” Hey guys.” her voice, usually a soft melody like, was dry with nervousness. Her bangs fell into her mask and she pushed them away.
But as she looked up, she caught Ezra’s eyes. And everyone else’s. They all looked so.. beautiful. They didn’t even look like her friends she knew so well. Dani, the wild fiery one who loved Sammii; and then Sammii, the strange, moody lover boy; Ezra, the heart-stopping, man who makes you shiver with a touch, who pisses you off because he went so suicidal on everyone; and last but not least, Jordan. Now she was the true wild one. The way she dressed, talked, walked. So weird, but so freaking great. She looked at all their dresses and suits, so short and frilly. Then hers, long, elegant, silky and plain. But, it described her in so many ways. The tattoo on her right cheek, the root, was on her dress. Each twist and turn was a path she has taken or is soon to take. The black gloves express the misery she impresses when someone is touched by her. Both physically and mentally. But one thing she didn’t like, was how the back exposed the pink and rippled scars on her back; the rope burns around her neck. They disgusted her. She let her eyes fall to the floor, knowing they were going to compliment her in a heart beat. But she growled. ” You call me anything that either deals with pretty or beautiful or any of that,” she looked up at everyone, ” Then I swear I will kick ya’lls asses to high heaven.” she didn’t look like any of that. She looked like crap!
Even though it took her forever to do her hair and make up, she knew it would only take a few minutes to take it down. But she couldn’t keep her eyes off of Ezra! Or anyone else for that matter! They all looked so glamorous. She huffed and looked back up, a flush rising to her face as she caught herself staring at Ezra again. Clearing her throat, she looked at Sammii and Dani. ” I’m here, as promised. Now can I please go hide in a corner?!” she said with a smile, hoping they knew she was joking. She promised them she would come; she did. And now she was going to stay with her friends, and do one thing she loved the most. Dance. But it would hurt, to see her body moving with someone else’s, and not Matthumus’s. She sighed.

There was tension in the air, she knew. Everybody could feel it, as well. But not everybody recognized the tension, the drama as Jordan did. That was probably one of the bad things about dances like this, something bad always happened, whether or not people were aware of it. Breakups and hookups, they all happened at events like this. Drama and tension always lingered where students gathered to have fun, where alcohol was passed around, and drugs given out. Places where the unexpected happened, and tables turned quicker than you could say "potato." All this hovered in the air above them, tendrils seemingly floating down to wreck havoc below, to cause everything to go wrong. But yet, so few people were aware of this. Only a few could tell that there would be trouble coming from it, even though it may not affect them. Jordan was one of those few.
However, she also knew it would probably affect her. As people left, Sammii and Dani were revealed on the dancefloor, dancing slowly to the music, Their arms wrapped around each other as they danced. Jordan could tell that they were talking. About what, she didn't know. She didn't have the abilities to tell what they were saying, and didn't want them. Sure, it could come in handy sometimes, but now wasn't the time. Besides, it would still be tuned out by the music that blared from the speakers. She bit her lip and turned to Ezra again as he spoke. 'Yeah, Zack Vineyard. He asked me a couple days ago, and I said yes. Didn't think I'd get a date, anyhow." She replied to him, looking back at Dani and Sammii. Dani seemed sad, still. Sad, forlorn, and Sammii was....well, Sammii. The confused silly boy she knew, trying to persuade Dani, it seemed, to understand.
Jordan was surprised to see Ezra leaving. "Well...bye..." she said lamely as he walked off. She didn't know what had caused him to leave, but simply shrugged it off. She sighed and rested her arms on the table in front of her, then lied her head on top, so her arms cradled it. Figured she'd be left alone again. Why would any of them want to dance with her anyways? They were all taller than her, which would make it awkward to dance, really. She only hoped there were more fast beat dance songs than the slow-dance kind. Fast beat songs she could dance to, and didn't have to worry about height, because you didn't really dance with someone with those, which was good, especially in her case, anyways. She sighed again, and looked up.
Suddenly, Kjara appeared. From where? She had no clue. She actually didn't know that Kjara was coming, and Kjara was in the same dorm. She blinked up at the girl. Oh, crap. She must've been to the room, which had been newly filled with everybody's stuff. She only hoped that Kjara wouldn't kill her for that......again. She made a mess nearly everyday. It was either losing something, or tripping over something, or falling. And it was a regular occurrence for her to be cleaning up the room...because of something she did. "Hey Kjara!" She said brightly, sitting up. Finally, someone else to talk to.
Then, Dani and Sammii came back from dancing. She could feel the cold tension between the two, but she didn't remarked upon it, and simply grinned before her gaze returned to Kjara, who had set her chin stubbornly, telling them not to say she was pretty. Really, Kjara looked lovely in the white gown and mask. Sure, it wasn't something that was normal for her to wear, really, what dress would be normal, but it looked good. "Kjara, no ass-kicking, but you look lurvely, kay?" She told the girl. Really, Jay probably had the oddest dresses here. Most people wore cut-off, short dresses. Jay, and Kjara too, she noticed, had longer ones. Well, Kjara's was longer, but her dress still came to slightly below her ankles, barely brushing her feet. Oh well. She liked being different. Her grin replaced on her lips, she looked at Kjara, Dani, and Smammii, giggling at Kjara's words. "Aw, don't go in a cornerrr!" She exclaimed with a grin. [/blockquote]

This was not supposed to happen. He was supposed to have a good fucking time at this party. It was that everyone-who-is-everyone-goes type of party. Every single student at Winterthorne had been invited, and if that wasn’t enough, pretty much every single student attended—plus a whole lot more people who no one really seemed to know. He was surrounded by all sorts of people who cared: Bliss, Jaybird, Sammii (maybe...Dani...). Music pumped through his ears, alcohol seared through his body, and bad ideas swarmed above everyone in the room. He was supposed to enjoy the fact that Sammii had made it to the dance, that he looked absolutely gorgeous and that he was absolutely his. But the thought that Dani even had the slightest bit of a chance with Sammii thrust him into a mood so bad that he couldn’t bear watching them any more, let alone being in the same room with them.
Lifting two fingers up to the edge of his mask, he tugged at the ribbon and pulled his mask off. It was a bit of relief; not only was the mask a little itchy and annoying, but somehow it made him feel like he was no longer attached to the mood of the party, that he was free to go now. Ezra let his hand fall to his side, clutching the gold mask that had graced his face a few moments before, and headed towards the exit of the Secret. He had been tempted to go through the backdoor behind the bar, but he had realized that Sammii might have seen him had he gone out that way. Though he had a serious need to get the hell out of the club, he found himself taking his time to walk out of the place. Part of him wanted to hold back and stick it out; he couldn’t stand leaving Sammii back at the dance floor, even if it was only for a few minutes. He looked so...so gorgeous. So unfairly gorgeous. So out of his reach when he danced with Dani. So fucking annoying when he leaned in so close to her, spoke so softly to her, and all he could do was watch. That’s it, I’m out of here...
He hadn’t made it very far, sadly enough, when he heard a new voice reach his ears. He would’ve just ignored it and kept on going to the door, which now seemed thousands of miles away, but he knew that voice; Kjara had finally arrived to the party. Ezra shuddered. He would never hear the end of it had he just ignored her and everyone else. So he slowed to a stop, pausing with a sigh before he turned around and strolled right back to where he started. He had to admit, though, Kjara looked amazing. It was like his friends had transformed into entirely different people. They all seemed a bit more hyped up, they were all definitely beautiful (as if they weren’t already, but this was a new, insane level), and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves—with the obvious exception of Dani. Who, again, had joined the crowd. His eyes swung from Kjara to curiously look over the rest of the group, mainly focusing on Sammii, before returning to the shapeshifter. Despite his mood, a smile split his lips at the mention of calling Kjara beautiful. “Radiant. Stunning. Beautiful. Simply gorgeous,” he teased, grinning, “and not only the dress. You too.” The smile widened into a grin. He was going to get smacked, he knew it.
Simply smiling at the “hiding in a corner” comment, he let his eyes drift back around the room again. Why exactly had Dani and Sammii left the dance floor? There were several possible options. One was that they were too tired of dancing, which was simple enough. Another: Dani couldn’t take whatever Sammii was pestering her about, so she suggested going back. Or...had they seen him trying to leave? He hoped it hadn’t worried the werewolf boy that much if that was the case. He had only wanted to go for a walk. Clear his head, y’know?—and definitely get away from the two “lovebirds” on the dance floor. It had been a thrill, bodies entwining with each other as if they were one person, emotions running high; now it was just a painful reminder of what could’ve happened—and what could still happen. His eyes flicked to the entrance nervously every now and then, wishing he could leave. Awkward? Yes. Oh, yes.

[/i] Again, Sammii felt that Dani must be jealous of Ezra, in some way. Or she just for reason had never liked him. Either way, it really bothered him. He couldn't figure out what Dani could be jealous of, it wasn't as though Ezra was replacing her as best friend. And as far as he knew, Ezra hadn't given Dani a reason to dislike him. Sammii nodded his head and put on another smile for Dani, " Alright," he said. He felt her hand in his again and brightened up a bit, he had to think everything was okay. Even if Dani was upset by some myterious thing, and Ezra looked like he was leaving...everything would turn out good in the end, right? Sammii squeezed Dani's hand back and then kept it loosely in his grip as he weaved his way through the thick crush of dancing bodies. Once they had gotten off the dancefloor, he slipped his hand from Dani's, not for any particular reason. Well, maybe that wasn't true...he was scared Ezra was leaving because he'd picked Dani first over him. He didn't want the demon to see him holding Dani's hand still, not if he was trying to leave the dance. Leading the way towards where he saw his friends gathered, he noticed with relief that Kjara had, in fact, showed up. Sammii had half-expected she wouldn't and he'd have no choice but to go back to the castle and drag her over. Which would in turn probably make her angry at him. An that wasn't something Sammii really wanted Kjara to be with him. Sammii paused once he'd gotten there, standing next to Dani. A smile lit up his face as he looked over Kjara. He bit his lip to keep the small laugh that had threatened to come out as he heard the girl tell them not to make any comments about her looking beautiful. But if only she could realize that she really was. Especially tonight. She looked gorgeous. Everyone did, actually; they all looked absolutely beautiful tonight. Sammii's blue eyes went to Ezra as he heard the demon speaking, eyes lit up as he did. Then he looked at Kjara again. " I think you look lovely," he insisted with a little nod. " And, no, you're not allowed to hide in corner." Sammii gave a little chuckle. As everyone hung out there, Sammii's eyes kept flicking to Ezra. He still seemed liked he wanted to leave. More than once, the werewolf had seen his eyes go to the door. He bit on his lip for a moment, thinking. Yeah, he needed to talk to him. Backing up a step, he walked around the circular shape his friends had formed until he was next to Ezra. Sammii moved right next to him, gripping the sleeve of the other's tux, he tugged on it gently to say he needed to talk to the demon. " We'll...be right back," Sammii said, talking to everyone else. He looked up at Ezra with wide azure eyes and turned slightly, hoping the other boy would follow so they could talk. He needed to find out what was wrong with the other.[/color][/blockquote][/ul][/size]

‘Let’s go find your date?’ What the hell. Like she would ever say that? Had she? Okay, she had, in attempt to look a little more normal and caring but she doubted she was fooling Sammii at all. Yeah, maybe he was a bit naïve--the Disney still in him, and maybe he was sometimes too gullible, the pranks still fresh but he wasn’t stupid. However, he was a bit dense. She was practically screaming her lungs out to him, a step away from being on her knees, begging him to look at her the same way he looked at Ezra and he never seemed to catch the hints, not once. She was supposed this was a good thing. She’s rather Sammii never know how she felt then have him torn trying to make everyone feel better. Poor Sammii. Always trying to please everyone, always worrying about others instead of himself. How could you not love him? How could you not want to pull him close and kiss those lips of his? Dani would give anything in the world to be able to hold him the way Ezra held him when they watched movies together. She wanted to be that close him. And yet, it would never happen. She didn’t have an ounce of chance against Ezra and she knew it. It was so obvious. Sammii was oblivious to her when it came to who he would rather be with. When it was Ezra vs. Dani, there was no Dani. She just kinda faded into the background.
Dani allowed herself to almost be pulled to the table. She was as well have been pulled because she was so deep in her thoughts that that was what Sammii was basically doing whether he realized it or not. If his hand hadn’t been around hers, she would still be back on the dance floor, lost in her meaningless thoughts. There was previous smiles and ongoing smiles when Dani floated back to reality as they reached the table. Kjara was there. Under any normal circumstance Dani would have jumped the table and she would have been bear hugging KJ. But there was just no…energy in Dani now. She was so tired from being angry and sad so much in such a little amount of time. She could barely force the smile to fall over her lips and raise a small hand to wave. “Heya, KJ.” She tried to use as much happiness in her voice as she could muster but anyone who knew Dani well enough knew she wasn’t fully there. “Fucking gorgeous, babe,” she threw in before Kjara could say anything else about them not complimenting her. She was beautiful and she needed to get used to that fact. Dani wasn’t going to stop complimenting her because she refused to believe silly things.
Danni’s eyes peeked to the side to cast a quick glance at her friend and his love. Ezra was half ready to sprint out. And it looked like Sammii was going to be right behind him. She had to fight the urge to grab Sammii’s arm and plead him to stay here instead and let Ezra run off wherever he pleased but she knew that would never happen. Dani watched in tight throated sadness as her best friend followed Ezra outside, eyes wide with concern, with a love she would never when he looked at her.
