LET THE MUSIC FILL THE NIGHT
and soon it's all we hear

`LIKES; boys, flirting, singing, acting, her guitar, running, shopping, writing lyrics, being different
`DISLIKES; boys who don't flirt back, girls who think they're all that, lyrics that sound wrong, people who think she's stupid and a copy of audrey
`HABITS; flirting with guys, talking a lot, going to parties and getting drunk, saying 'awh' 'omigod' and 'like' a lot
`HOBBIES; playing guitar, writing music, singing, running
`HEROES; audrey hathaway
`OVERALL PERSONALITY;

dana is the prep. the queen bee. she's someone you don't mess around with. if gossip was beer, she'd be drunk 24/7. except, she already gets drunk most of the time. she's a party girl, one of the rich kids that can get away with anything. she's called a snob, stubborn, and a slut.

except, she's not really like that. if they really knew her, they wouldn't be able to say anything. she's the one who has a guitar, who writes and sings with the most beautiful voice. her lyrics are her feelings- they tell her story and the way she sings and plays brings people to tears. she's sensitive, and keeps her distance away from love. instead of being a player, she just doesn't want to get attached to one because she doesn't want to get hurt.

if everything was different, and if she didn't have a reputation to live up to- she'd be the quiet girl who doesn't talk to anyone. instead, she's audrey's little sister. she's the exact opposite of her older sister. she has to get rid of 'audrey's little sister dana' and make up an entirely different person. the person who turns heads and causes people to say, 'oh- there's dana hathaway'. dana has to act, has to put up with the pressure, and has to be entirely different.

she can't be exactly like audrey. she has to be different. that's why she's that way. that's why she's the gossip girl, the queen bee, the party girl, the slut. that's why she acts that way.

if only people take the time to actually know her...

--------------------------------------------

I saw the new kid looking at us, and I heard him whisper to the girl in front of us, “Who are they?”
“Oh, Alice Zimmerman and Dana Hathaway? Alice's the one sitting behind Mel, and she's an ice skater. She's a total prep, but she's really nice. Dana's the one sitting in front of Alice, and she's Little Miss Sweet and Innocent. She's the innocent angel of our school.”
Innocent angel? Oh, please. I thought and I heard Stephan hold back a laugh too. “What's so funny?” I asked, hoping not to sound too nosy.
“Oh, nothing... just the fact that everyone calls you an 'innocent angel' after what you did last year.”
“Last year? I knew you last year?”
He rolled his eyes, “Yeah. Seventh hour geography...”
“Really?” I didn't remember him... at all.
“Yup, you don't remember me?”
“No offense, but I don't...”
“You wouldn't have known me, our social statuses were way too different, I knew who you were though. You were the bitchy prep in front of your friends, but the one who went to apologize to the person they picked on behind your clique's back.”
“What? How do you know this?”
“I just do,” he replied with a shrug.
“What else do you know about me? From last year?”
“You went out with Josh.”
I rolled my eyes, “Well. Everyone knew that, we were the one that everyone talked about for our first week.”
“Yeah, but I know when you broke up. June 5th.”
Shit. How did he know that? I hate June 5th, worst day of my life. “Stalker much?”
“Nope, Victor just bragged about how he got to break you guys up on your anniversary. I remember a lot of things.”
“Oh my, you're friends with Victor?”
“Well... yeah...” he began to shift in his seat, being uncomfortable.
“Oh... I don't really like Victor...”
“No, that's not obvious at all,” he said sarcastically, “Well, duh, he was the one who pretty much ruined your summer vacation.”
“My summer vacation was awesome!” I insisted.
“Really? Not what I heard from your Facebook statuses.”
I didn't respond to what he said and he smirked, luckily Ms. Winters looked at us and sighed, “Stephan, stop flirting with Dana.” Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at us, we turned bright red and everyone laughed. Stephan rolled his eyes and turned back around in his seat. But, he didn't deny it.
Wait! He didn't deny it.
He always denies it. Well, he always denies it if it's other girls.
As in, he says, “No, I'm not flirting!” when people accuse him of flirting with Alexia, Eliza, or Kim.
But why not me? Why doesn't he ever deny it when they accuse him of flirting with me?
Maybe he is flirting with me. Maybe he does like me.
I began to smile a little.
Wait, why am I happy?
No. That's impossible. He doesn't like me. No one would ever like me. And I don't like anyone.
Except, I'm pretending to not be over Josh.
Yes. That's it, I like Josh, and no one else. And no one likes me. End of story.
I was determined, that was my story, and that's how I was going to go through the year. Pretending to be in love with someone who could care less. Then when I'm in high school, I can go and move on since we'll be at rival schools. I smiled in spite of myself, it was a pretty good plan.
That's when Stephan turned around in his seat and looked at me, he smiled slightly at me. I smiled back at him. He kept looking at me, until Ms. Winters yelled at him again. Before he turned around, he flashed me one last smile. I blushed slightly, my stomach flipped a couple of times, and my heart raced. Why am I blushing? Why do I have butterflies? Why is my heart being faster?
Because I'm falling for him...
Wait.
Oh. My. God. I'm falling for Stephan.
So much for my plan...

//sorry. it's from a story and it's in first person.
