Thanks again to all the Reviews...I'm hoping this chapter will get more.

Enjoy!

Chase's POV

The cafeteria was pretty empty as I walked in, spotting Danielle almost straight away.

"Hi Danielle," I said, stopping by her table. "Sorry to barge in on your gossip session," I said, receiving two weirded out expressions. "That you may or may not have been having," I finished smoothly. Danielle giggled and I smiled. "Do you remember the guy who heroically lifted a wall of lockers?" I asked and her face brightened.

"Do you mean the tall good looking guy?" she gushed excitedly.

"No, the smaller more interesting looking guy," I said as I sat down.

"Oh! My sturdy little footstall!" she said excitedly.

"Bingo," I said. 'Nice way of remembering him' I thought but kept it to myself. "Anyway I know you like my brother Adam and that's causing a problem in his friendship with Leo si I was kind of hoping you could go to the dance with Leo?"

"Aww you're worried about your friend, that is so sweet," she gushed. Ok…? "Don't worry I know how to fix this," she said and I grinned.

"See I knew if I just talked to you everything would work out," I said happily.

"That's right I'm not going to the dance with Adam anymore…I'm going with you," she said. My eyes widened and I sat shocked. "See you later cutie." and before I could respond she was gone.

She actually wants to go with me? But I don't want to go with her. I want to go with Bree. But Bree wants to go with Ethan, who wants to go with her. What chance did I have with Bree anyway? She's far to good for me, I might as well go with Danielle.

Standing up, I made to exit the cafeteria, only to run right into Adam and Leo. This should be fun.

"Hi! Guys," I said nervously. "So…here's the deal: Danielle isn't going to the dance with either of you," I said as solemnly as possible.

"What! Who's she going with?" Adam demanded. Looking at the shock on their faces, I couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Me!" I said.

Adam and Leo glared at me for about three seconds before Leo jumped at me, wrapping his legs around my waist and pulling at me shoulders. I just stood there and let him vent his anger, despite how awkward the position he had put us in was.

"How could you swipe Danielle away from both of us?" Adam demanded as I logged into my Laptop.

"I didn't swipe her away," I said again for the hundredth time. As I sat down on the couch I noticed Bree heading towards the stairs. "She just kind of fell in my lap like a beautiful flowery angel from heav-"

"We get it!" Leo groaned, cutting me off. But the only thing I noticed was Bree stopping by the stairs.

"Look I didn't mean for this to happen," I said.

"Oh so you're not taking her to the dance?" Adam asked.

"Who's he taking to the dance?" Bree asked, still standing by the stairs. Leo and Adam both looked at her, then at me with questioning eyes. I glared up at them. Feeling Bree's eyes on the back of my head.

"Of course I'm taking her to the dance! She's like a cottony white lamb who frolics in the-"

"We get it!" Leo and Adam said together. I heard footsteps again and turned to see Bree running up the stairs, her face shrouded by her hair. I turned back to see Leo watching me confusedly, probably wondering what I was doing. Adam on the other hand just generally looked pissed. "I might not know any dance moves but a girl is interested in me for the first time ever. How can I say no to that?" I said desperately. Adam still looked angry but Leo's face brightened, his eyes widening. I gulped, hoping he hadn't caught on to what I was doing.

Leo's POV

So that's what Chase is doing! He's trying to make Bree jealous! For a second there I thought he was just doing this to spite Adam and me but his real reason is much stupider. I was wondering why, after just yesterday saying he was basically in love with Bree, he was so excited to go to the dance with Danielle.

Well if it's to do with Bree or not, I can't let him get away with this.

"Oh you say no. N.O.O. No," Adam snapped, breaking out of my train of thought. "Whatever happened to 'It's not fair Adam, Leo wanted her first'? you tell us not to do something and then you go ahead and do it! You're a total hypnotist!" he yelled. Although he got the word wrong, he at least knew what he was talking about so props to Adam. Chase didn't look to impressed, to busy staring at his shoes. Could see the guilt written all over him but I had to make him believe he hadn't done anything wrong.

"You know what Adam? I think we should give Chase a break. I mean, it is his first go around the carousel of love," I said, trying to sound sympathetic when all I really wanted was for Adam to leave. Chase glanced at me, looking a little shocked.

"What? Are you kidding me? He's on a carousel alright and he's riding on a big plastic horse named betrayal!" he snapped. Chase sneered at him before looking back at me.

"Let's face it Adam," I said, walking over and putting a hand on Chase's shoulder. "The best man won."

"Oh no, I'm the best man and I'm going to get hr back at the dance! It is on! O.N.N On!" he finalized before walking out the room.

Chase and I both watched him go before Chase looked up at me. "Thanks Leo, are you sure you're not mad?" he asked and I shrugged.

"If I can't have her I'm glad you can," I said, starting to walk away. "Did you say you couldn't dance?" I asked, hiding my smile.

Chase's POV

"Open the fridge," I mumbled to myself as I practiced a set routine to the refrigerator dance Leo had taught me.

"What are you doing?" a voice behind me laughed as I did my booty shakes. I whipped around to see Bree standing in my doorway. "Why are you wagging an invisible tail at midnight?" she asked, walking a little more into my room. I blushed darkly, straightening up.

"I'm not wagging an invisible tail!" I snapped. "I'm…dancing," I mumbled. Bree stared at me for a few more moments before she burst out laughing.

"That…was definitely…not…dancing," she gasped out between laughs.

"Oh like you know all the hip new dances anyway!" I snapped, keeping my voice down so the others could sleep.

"I might not know all the new dances but I'm not so sure that one even exists," she said with a smirk.

"Whatever, so why are you up?" I asked, sitting on my bed and patting to spot next to me. Bree smiled, sitting down next to me.

"I wanted to ask who you were taking to the dance tomorrow night, considering that we were supposed to be hanging out," she said, looking a little mad. I looked away, feeling a little guilty.

"Oh well a girl asked, more told if anything, that she wanted to go with me and I said yes since you're going with Ethan," I answered. She looked down.

"Well he hasn't exactly asked me," she mumbled.

"But I told you I heard him talking about you. He want's to go with you," I said. Bree sighed.

"I know…I'm just not…sure," she mumbled.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"Well…it's just that lately I've been thinking about another guy. He makes me feel so happy every time I see him, which I'm lucky enough to do every day. He makes me smile, laugh and even feel safe in any situation. I've known him a while and…I think I might really…" she trailed off, leaving me hanging. She shook her head. "It doesn't matter, he'll never like me anyway," she said, looking very downhearted.

Even though she was breaking my heart by telling me she basically telling me she was in love with another guy, I couldn't stand to see Bree unhappy. I took her chin in my hands and forced her to lock eyes with me.

"Bree…whoever you're talking about would be lucky to have you. You're…so amazing in everyway that any guy lucky enough to have your affection should be bringing you roses everyday so they could see your smile," I said, pouring almost every feeling I had for her into that speech.

"How did you know I loved roses?" she asked through her smile. I chuckled.

"It doesn't matter," I said, pulling out of the embrace we had landed in. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to finish practicing," I said, holding the door open.

Bree stood up, walking over to me and shutting the door. I gave her a confused look, watching her as she took my hand and lead me to the centre of the room.

"Well if you're going to dance wrong solo, you should at least know how to slow dance," she said, placing both my hands on her waist. I blushed darkly as she placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Now you've got to lead Chase. Be the man," she instructed. I nodded dumbly, following her as she started to sway slightly to the nonexistent music. "Oh come on Chase! Don't follow me. Take the lead," she groaned.

Suddenly feeling a rush of confidence, my arms shot around Bree's waist, pulling her completely against me. She gasped as her hands shot around my neck, gripping my shoulders.

"How's that?" I asked, my voice coming out as a whisper as we swayed in sync.

"That's pretty good," Bree murmured into my neck, tucking her head closer to my skin.

For a while we just swayed on the spot, Bree in my arms giving me all I needed from the world. Finally though, we had to stop when Bree yawned against my skin, the action making me shiver.

"I think it's time you went to bed Bree," I mumbled, still keeping her in my arms.

"Yeah," she mumbled but didn't move. I stared down at her, feeling lost in her beautiful eyes. I have never wanted to kiss someone more then I want to kiss her right now. "Chase…can I stay?" she asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Uhh yeah, sure. You can have the bed, I'll take the desk chair," I said, walking over to the bed and making it nice for her.

She didn't fight it or demand that I take the bed, she just walked over and lay down. Before I could pull the covers over her though, her arms shot out and she grabbed my wrist.

"Now you're going to lie down here with me and we're going to sleep in this bed together," she said, not even asking. Know that she wouldn't let go of me until she got her way, I made her scoot over before I lay down next to her. She instantly snuggled against me, her head resting on my shoulder.

I watched her as she fell asleep, entranced by her beauty. Even if Bree couldn't be mine, I wasn't going to waste these precious moments with her. Unfortunately sleep proved to strong and soon, I was pulled into dreamland.

Could Bree be talking about Chase? Review and find out otherwise you'll never know...
