This morning I am up and helping Sophie decorate for the dance. She texted me last night that she wanted me to help decorate since Brooke isn't that creative so I decided why not. Now, here I am wearing a red and blue short skirt with a red tank top directing people where to put the drink table.

"Perfect, guys. Put the food table left of it."

"Oh, cool. Guys, so let's put the DJ booth over here in this corner. Yeah? Thank you", Sophie says as she walks up to me.

"Thank you again for coming"

I give Sophie a side hug before I notice Leo coming in looking around for direction, "No problem. Hey, I am gonna help, Leo."

"Okay..."

"Leo, my hero. Thank you so much for bringing that. You are amazing. You're gonna be great tonight", I say as I point to an area on the stage for him to place his guitar as I leave to help with the fish.

"Do I get a kiss?", Leo says wrapping me in his arms.

"You know I don't do PDA", I tell him turning around to face him grabbing his shoulders.

"Just a peck?", Leo whines as I shake my head at him with a smile before quickly giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Cheek? Harsh", Leo jokes before walking to put his stuff away.

"Oh, my God. Parker! That is so cool. Where did you get this from?", Sophie screams in happiness as I turn to see an old jukebox.

I laugh at Sophie before continuing to direct the height of the streamers. I soon finish my part in decorating the dance before I rush to the clubhouse to buy a dress. In my defense, I just got the theme last night so I haven't really had the time to buy a dress for Brooke and me since Brooke asked me to.

I go up to Hayley on the couch and lay down on her lap noticing she is face-timing her dad.

"Hello, Angelina."

"Hey, Mr. Woods. You should wear the pink dress.", I say with a smile.

Hayley laughs as I go to open my louie and begin to shop blocking out Hayley and her dad's conversation. I find the perfect pink and white outfit for Brooke with a scarf to tie in her hair. I then continue on a vintage website and find an old dress that is perfect for me. I quickly buy them all and send a personal driver to pick them up and bring them to me. I go to the foyer to get them when I hear music.

breath And try and keep my cool But all the time Just never seems to be

"What is this? Everybody Loves Leo club" I ask noticing Leo singing surrounded by all the Raven's girls.

"Nothing. I can't tell you. It's kind of a surprise", Leo tells me with a smile.

"Really?", I raise my eyebrow at him curious about what could make him smile that wide.

"You'll love it. Trust me", I am about to sit next to him when my driver comes with Brooke and my outfits for the dance. I thank him and give him a tip happy that is in a garment bag so Leo can't see my dress. Hayley walks in at the same time her dad does.

"Now, what kind of school is this? Don't you kids have homework to do?", he jokes.

"Dad! Hey. I thought you were late for work", Hayley says going up to hug him.

"I told Chief Diggs I had a special delivery to make first", Mr. Woods pulls out a garment bag for Hayley.

"Thank you"

"Oh, gosh. I haven't been here in years. Your mom always used to be up on that board when she was a student here", Mr. Woods says pointing to the House Competition board.

"Hmm. No pressure", Hayley jokes.

"That's nice", Mr. Woods states looking at Ryan wood's photo.

"Yeah, it is", Hayley says with a small smile.

"Which reminds me, I also brought you this. Your mom would've wanted you to wear this tonight", he pulls out a beautiful pearl necklace.

"It's beautiful. Thank you", Hayley tells her dad looking at the necklace, I assume to be her moms.

I leave them alone to have their moment and go to drop off Brooke's outfit. I knock twice on the door before saying, "Brooke open up I have your dress."

Alex opens the door and notices me, he gives me a small smile before asking why I was here.

"I have Brooke's costume", I tell Alex going to give him her garment bag. He takes it and assures me it will get to Brooke as I walk away and go to Raven's clubhouse to get dressed.

"Hayley! Jackie! What are you girls doing the dance starts in an hour!", I say looking at them chilling on the couch.

"All we have to do is put on our dresses", Hayley says casually.

"No. Now go shower. You two are about to be the prettiest girls at the dance", I smirk and I rush them to get ready.

We all get dressed as I curl Hayley's hair and do both of their makeup. I finally finish Jackie and Hayley before I realize I have ten minutes to do my own hair and makeup and put on my dress and shoes. I quickly shoo them away and begin to apply mascara. I put the sides of my hair up in a 50's hairdo leaving the rest down. I finish putting on everything just in time and walk out of the room with everyone else.

I see Max in a Back to the Future outfit doing Leo's coat jacket, "Remember, it's always best to do one button, and just the top one."

I smile at Max's cute habits as Leo smartly tells him, "I know how a suit works, Max, thank you."

He then looks up to see me and all the girls and wolf whistles at me. I blush and go up to him, he holds out his hand and spins me around in his arms before whispering to me, "You look beautiful."

I walk out of his arms and go to grab my mom's locket before giving it to him.

"Could you help me?"

"Sure", Leo says as I turn around and feel him put the old bronze necklace around my neck. I feel his breath on my neck and blush before having a surge of confidence.

"You're dying to kiss me, aren't you?"

"You are really confident tonight, Angel?", Leo laughs before he turns me around in his arms.

"No. I just remembered that you once said kissing me wasn't a good idea", I joke.

"I say a lot of stupid things", Leo tells me before pulling me closer towards him and kissing me. He kisses me like he has all the time in the world slowly but with so much love. I kiss him back before I pull away and at him with half-closed lids and say,"I love you, too"

He looks at me with a smile before picking me up and swinging me around. When my feet touch the ground he captures me in a kiss. This kiss is more like a promise to always love each other. His hand wraps around my waist pulling me closer as mine wrap around his neck before he pulls away his eyes filled with so much happiness, "Ready?"

"Yeah", I grab his hand and we walk into the dance together.

I pull Leo to Sophie and Alex as we all hug.

"You guys are a cute couple!", Sophie tells me.

"Well, I am sure we will hear all about it on your website tomorrow", Leo laughs as we all laugh with him.

"Very funny", Sophie tells her.

Alex goes with Hayley and Leo, Sophie and I begin dancing together. Soon Sophie leaves to dance with Alex again and it is just Leo and me.

"I thought you said you couldn't dance?", I ask Leo who has been dancing well the entire night.

"I couldn't but I convinced Madame Kirova to give me lessons", Leo tells me as he spins me into a dip.

"Why?"

"I know how much you enjoy dancing", Leo tells me. I smile at him before I notice Jackie about to murder Max, Leo sees this as well and goes to help tone Max down. I go to Brooke who is slumped in a chair with Daniel.

"Hey, sis.", I sit next to her.

"Hey, Leo and you are adorable. You should see the way he looks at you", Brooke tells me

I was going to reply before Sophie came to the stage.

"All right, guys. We have a special surprise for you. So he may be a Raven, but the Eagles had to have the best guitar player around. So I'd like to welcome our very own Leo McFly!", we all clap as Leo comes to the stage and begins to grab the guitar.

"All right, this next one's an oldie but it's a goodie. Hope you guys can keep up", Leo says as he begins to play 50's rock.

I look at Brooke and motion her to come dance with Alex and me.

"Where are you going?", Daniel asks.

"To have some fun", Brooke tells him.

We all dance to Leo's songs before I walk up to the stage to sing. Sophie is the only reason I am about to sing this song so I wait for her to lead me up the stage. I walk up to the mic so Leo can have a break from playing and ask the girls to be my backup before singing this old song.

The day started ordinary
Boys walking by (ooh ooh)
It was the same old story
Too fresh or too shy (ooh ooh)I'm not the kind to fall for a guy
Who flashes a smile (It goes on for miles)
Don't usually swoon
But I'm over the moon ('Cause he was just too cool for school)And now I'm
Falling for ya, falling for ya
I know I shouldn't but I
I just can't stop myself from
Falling for ya, falling for ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for youNow we're going steady
He's the cat's meow (Meow Meow)
He says I'm a betty
And we paint the town (ooh ooh)I'm not the kind to fall for a guy
Just cause he says hi (When he's cruisin' by)
He's ready to race
And I'm catching his gaze (They'll go on like this for days)And now I'm
Falling for ya, falling for ya
I know...

After I finish Leo comes back to the stage to continue playing, "All right, so I wrote this one for someone special I met recently. Angel, this one's for you." I begin to dance to the music with Brooke looking at Leo.

It happened in a moment

Nobody gave a cue

One look into your blue eyes

I knew it was you

I knew it was you

It's like a perfect casting

You're born to play the part

There's no going back now

You've taken my heart

You've taken my heart I guess

I act too quickly

I'm probably a fool

Should I have taken one more breath

And try and keep my cool?

But all the time Just never seems to be enough

When you're the one and only thing

That I am thinking of

When you're the one and only thing

That I am thinking of

When you're the one and only thing

That I am thinking of

We all cheer at the beautiful song Leo just sang. I go up to the stage next to Hayley who is giving me a smile happy for us as Leo is about to come off stage to me when he turns his head. I turn to see what he is looking at.

"Aspen what are you doing here?", we say in unison.

Aspen ignores me before going up to Leo, "Surprise", and kisses him. I am frozen in my place.

"It is brilliant. You organized such a cool do! Nobody in London does this anymore. Good job, Lee", Aspen praises. No Sophie and I planned it, Aspen.

"Actually, the Eagles put it together", Leo mumbles.

"I'm Hayley. And you?", Hayley says walking up to Aspen with an angry face.

"Hi! I'm Aspen. So nice to meet", Aspen says with a bubbly personality.

"Aspen and I pretty much grew up together", Leo mumbles still looking at the ground.

"Uh, we've known each other since we were five, right? We're childhood sweethearts. My dad's a diplomat, and our family moved to LA when I was in kindergarten. And it was a nightmare at first, but then I met this guy. Do you know how many songs he's written for me?", she asks with her annoying bubbly arrogant voice.

"No. How many?", Hayley asked with an annoyed expression.

"Hundreds, maybe? Anyway, my lifelong dream was to study singing at the London Conservatory. So we decided to have an LDR", she says. You are kidding me.

"LDR?", Hayley questions.

"Long-distance relationship", I quietly tell her before walking away from the dance with Aspen calling for me to return once she noticed who I was. I walked into the night going to a bench on the hill. I now understand what Leo meant when he said that you just have to feel something strong in order to be able to write a song because there are hundreds running through my head right now. I look at the beautiful moon as I wipe my tears away that I didn't know I had. I notice three figures walking towards me and see Hayley, Brooke, and Alex.

I look up at them wiping my tears away, "I just don't understand how he could've kept something like this from me."

"What don't you understand? He thought he could have you both", Hayley told me with a look of disgust. Brooke sits next to me and pulls me in a hug.

"Just when things were going perfectly then she showed up. You should have seen the look on Leo's face when he saw her...It was like he saw a ghost", I tell them.

"What a jerk. If you want, I could go beat him up for you", Alex says before I laugh.

"Don't you think you've picked enough fights for one night?", Hayley tells him giving him a nudge.

"Uh Yeah, you may have a point there"

Alex and Hayley leave and give Brooke and I a moment knowing she could make me feel better.

"He isn't worth it", Brooke rubs my shoulders.

I nod before I pull myself together, "I don't think I can go to school with them. Not for the whole year"

"You will. Forget about Leo", Brooke tells me.

"What about Aspen. I never told you this but Aspen and I were friends in London", I tell Brooke.

"What do you mean?"

"Aspen was at the Academy for singing and me for dance. Aspen was the one who began giving me singing lessons and encouraged me to get over my stage fright. Aspen became mean to me after I got an offer for voice and began talking about me and messing me up. ."

Brooke looks shocked, "Wow!"

"Well, you shouldn't let her bother you", Brooke says before taking my hand.

We walk back to Hayley and Alex who are joking about something before Brooke asks, "Hey, ready to go back and have some fun?"

"Angel you okay?", Hayley asks me wondering if I will be okay to go to the dance.

"I am going to turn in, early but you all have fun"

"One of the prettiest girls at the Greenhouse is not going to bed before ten o'clock", Alex tells me giving me his hand, "If you want I can accidentally punch him in the face."

I laugh as we all go back to the dance to see everyony dancing except Leo and Aspen. Leo is slouched on the stage looking more depressed than ever and Aspen is about to say a speech.

"Hi, everyone. This has been such a wonderful evening for me, and I just I feel that I want to give something back to all of you. I would like to sing for you this aria by Puccini which I so fancy. This is for a special someone who opened my eyes up to a whole new world of music. Remember you taught me my first guitar chord?"

Aspen begins to screech not sing but screech as everyone just stands not knowing what to do. Nobody is really a fan of Aspen since I am friends with everyone, which makes me sad because Aspen is not that bad of a person. Everyone claps confused about what happened.

Sophie walks up trying to save her dance, "All right, Eagles, Ravens, it's time for our annual Halloween dance-off! All right, you know the rules. Let's all get into a circle. We'll take turns dancing in pairs, and the couple that gets the loudest applause wins! Good luck!"

I go to grab my dance class partner Justin and we wait to come into the circle to dance. We both have fun doing intricate dance moves before we move to let Sophie and Alex go to dance. Everyone has fun dancing until it is time to decide who won.

"Okay, guys, the time has come. You all danced beautifully tonight. But I think you can all agree with me on this one, that the prize goes to the most unexpected performance of the night. Max and Emma, you're our new king and queen! Congratulations! Ladies first", Sophie says knowing that Justin and I don't want the prize and just wanted to have fun.

Max and Emma walk up as she gives them the crown although I was supposed to be in charge of this event she understands I don't want any attention on me. I go and sit with Jackie and Hayley as everyone dances to a slow song, at least they are happy with their dates.

Hayley turns to me and Jackie before saying, "Have you ever seen that Jim Carrey movie? You know, the artsy one? Anyway, in that movie, there's an agency that erases memories, especially ones that have to do with relationships."

"Finally, a movie I'd like to see. I wouldn't mind erasing the past two hours", Jackie mumbles looking at Max.

"I don't know... I kind of like how Leo is pretending he doesn't know how to dance so he doesn't have to dance with Aspen.", I look at Leo step on Aspen's foot for the 54th time.

They nod along with me as we all find entertainment watching Aspen get hurt.

Suddenly, Daniel gets angry and walks over to Alex throwing a cake at his face which Alex avoids. I walk over to him in time to hear him break up with Brooke.

"You took the words right out of my mouth", she screams at him in rage. He hobbles away as I grab Brooke's hand knowing how she must feel.

"That was classic", Leo tells Alex with a smile.

Alex looks at me as I shake my head at him to not do anything before he goes and throws a cake at Leo right in the face, "Now, that's classic."

Aspen gets mad, "What the bloody hell is going on?"

Jackie goes and throws a cake right into Aspen's face. I give her a smile before walking away when I notice Aspen's glare deciding I need to be up early to clean.

As I leave I notice someone following me. I turn to see Aspen, I try to walk faster but she catches up to me, "Ann! Hold up."

I stop and turn to see a cake faced Aspen, "Thank you. Now look I know you and Lee were together but, no worries I understand that you didn't know about us."

"Yeah, sorry and thanks", I nod my head solemnly before walking away not wanting to talk to Aspen.

"And I know you won't try to pursue him and in fact, you won't even hang out with him anymore because if you did then I would have to do something about it."

I turn around with a scared expression "What?"

"My mum is the president of Julliard, the school, that as you know, Leo has been dreaming to go to for years. If you decide to pursue Leo or allow him to pursue you which I doubt then I might have my mother put in some not so nice words on Leo's behalf. I know you would never hurt my Lee. See you tomorrow? Toodles!", Aspen walks away leaving me standing there in terror of what is to come.

🌱

The next morning we all had to clean up the dance. I change into an oversized sweatshirt and leggings. I begin to clean the cafeteria with Hayley and Jackie trying to ignore Leo every time he tied to talk to me. Sometimes just walking away from him while he was talking doing anything not to annoy Aspen. Eventually, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside.

"Please stop ignoring me. I can't handle that", Leo says trying to hug me before I move back.

"Look. I am sorry about not telling you about Aspen and I get that you hate me but please. I am going to break up with Aspen today something I should have done the minute I met you. I don't love her anymore I love you and don't you feel the same?", Leo tells me still knowing I would try to leave. I notice Aspen walking up to Leo and me and realize what I have to do.

"I think you should stay with Aspen. You two are good together and you still have feelings for her...We shouldn't be with each other and you should not do that to Aspen", I tell him as he finally lets me go as I can see how I have broken him in his eyes.

"Don't you love me?", Leo asks me not seeing Aspen come into the room. 

"I need to be with someone I can trust."

I walk away as Aspen gives me a silent nod. I begin to cry knowing that I just didn't break Leo's heart but my own as well.
