An arranged Marriage...TO THIS JERK!

I growled to myself since Aiden was pretty much glued to my side since we got to school. I was walking down the hall to my friends and just couldn't get well comfortable with walking towards them with this...this stalker following me.

"Aiden, don't you have anything better to do then stalk me right now?" I asked annoyed

His answer was one that was had an upbeat tempo to it, "Nope! I cleared my schedule especially for you until the talent show."

His answer really surprised me which made me stop walking and glance at him. He had one of his hands in his pockets while the other was holding his folder as he stood next to me looking down at me. He had on a slight smile on his face which seemed a bit foreign to me since we normally argue or just make fun of each other all the time. I bit my bottom lip and rubbed the back of my neck wondering if I should ask him about what we were going to do about everything. I cleared my throat and looked up into his eyes.

"Listen Aiden...after the talent show I need to ta-"

I was interupted by a chorus of loud skater voices yelling throughout the hall calling for Aiden. Both of us glanced towards the voices and watched as Aiden's skater friends swerved through the halls. Yes I said swerved which meant they were riding their skateboards through the halls. And by the looks of it they weren't really slowing down even though Aiden was a few feet away. I gasped and tried to jump out of the way only to get pulled to the opposite direction feeling something hard against my back. I looked up and saw Aiden standing there with his hand gripping my arm as his friends skidded to a stop where I was just standing. He released me and smirked slightly as he pat me on the head.

"Well guess that schedule I opened for you just got booked up." He laughed as turned to his friends and started to ignore me.

I growled and turned my gaze to the ground. What an asshole! Er wait that made me sound like I was a bit disappointed that he doesn't want to hang out with me. No haha ya I'm fine this just means things will go back to normal. I turned and started to walk back down the hall. I brought one of my hands to my chest and furrowed my brows at the weird stinging pain in my chest. I bit my bottom lip and shook my head what is this pain.

"VIKKY!!" Aiden's voice called out

I jumped a little and turned my head back towards Aiden. He stared at me for a minute his face looked like it suddenly paled when he looked at me. I tilted my head slightly wondering what was wrong.

"Ummm...Oh right You better not hold out on me in the talent show...and even though it's your birthday I still plan on beating you into the ground get ready for second place!" He said a bit uneasy

I raised an eyebrow and smirked, "In your dreams Aiden...You'll always be second to me."

I laughed and continued on my way feeling a bit better. I tilted my head slightly wondering why those few words made me feel so much better. I know it cant be because I thought he was ignoring me. Ha ya that was just stupid!

I smiled when I finally spotted my friends gathered around our lockers well mine and the twins anyways. Donny was standing in front of Sammy who was fixing his tie. I tilted my head and laughed knowing exactly who was behind the outfits the guys were wearing. This had Sammy written all over it. She was fixing Donny's pink tie that had black skulls on the end of it. The twins and Donny were all wearing the same things. the pink ties, black skinny jeans, black button up shirts. Though the shirts were a bit different Donny's shirt was short sleeved, Eric's was long sleeved but rolled up to his elbows, and Deric's was just long sleeved with nothing much done to it.

I smiled thinking that Sammy had a dress code thing going on with everyone. I walked towards them and called out to everyone making them turn to me and wave.

"Hey guys!"

"Vikky!! Happy Birthday!" Sammy yelled as she ran up to me and did her usual clingy girl thing.

I smiled, "Thanks Sammy."

Everyone else started up with there happy birthday's and random talk about today. Sammy was the only one who knew the schedule for today. Apparently we had only one period 1st then we go to the theater and everyone who is in the talent show will go to the back and get ready. Our band which we named 'Stereotypes' was the 9th one to go on stage. Right after Tracy and her gangbusters crew +1 whatever that means. guess there's gonna be another person going up there with her. Though after us is some dance group who call themselves 'the breakers' which probably means there all gonna break dance. Aiden was the last act going up though Sammy said that she didn't know what they were doing yet. We all continued talking about everything until the bell rang which meant we all had to split ways. Everyone but me and Eric went our separate ways since both of us had the same class. We walked into class and took our seats laughing and talking even as the teacher walked in once the bell for class to start. It didn't even matter since our teacher was giving everyone a free pass to do whatever today since this was our only period. Eric and I just continued to talk nonstop.

"Man it's just a shame Lex couldn't be here for this...it would have been fun." Eric muttered

I nodded my head, "Ya it would have been...but even though he's not here we still have our other friends. Lex will understand I'm sure."

Eric nodded his head and pulled out a deck of cards from his back pocket. For the rest of the class we continued to talk as we played 21 until the bell went off. Both of us jumped up and gathered the cards rather sloppily which pretty much meant that we dropped them a few times before we actually made it out of the classroom. Both of us raced past the groups of people towards the theater.I turned my head when I noticed a familiar hair color and style that reminded me of Lex's but brushed it off. If he was here he would have came and saw us this morning. Eric and I were the last of our group to make it to the back. We all stood back and just waited for everything to start since it was going to be a while before we could go on.

I glanced towards the side stage when I saw Aiden and his friends walking to the back of the stage like they already won. I couldn't help but smile for some reason. Even though I will never admit it out loud sometimes his cockiness was cute. But not always just right now was acceptable. I jumped when Sammy suddenly appeared next to me. She had a knowing smirk on her face as she stared at me.

"What?!" I asked feeling uncomfortable

She tilted her head slightly, "I thought you didn't like Aiden..."

I rolled my eyes, "Of course I don't....what makes you think otherwise?"

She just stared at me for a few minutes then started speaking again, "You sure about that?"

I just stared at her. Was she serious how could I like him. He was such a jerk to me, he hates me, we don't get along to well, And the most part I have been engaged to him he was with another girl. So there is no way in hell I will like him. UGH. I suddenly felt my chest tighten up at the last thought. I reached up and grabbed at my chest and looked down. What the hell was that. I shook my head and looked up to answer Sammy but saw that she wasn't standing there anymore. I bit my bottom lip and heard music playing from the stage area. I stood up and walked towards the stage where a bunch of people who are participating in the talent show gathered to see what was going on onstage.

I tilted my head slightly watching as a group of Asian girls nine to be exact were singing and dancing to a song I had no idea what it was. None of them were playing instruments they were only dancing and singing to background music. Though it sounded pretty good that I couldn't help but dance a little with Eric who was right next to me doing the same. Eric spun me around as we started to that old dance the bop and giggled even more when Deric, Sammy and Donny all joined in to. Deric and Eric were dancing with me while Sammy and Danny were dancing together. All of us couldn't help but laugh when Danny started singing the Japanese part of the song only because the song had such a chick vibe that it was funny that Donny knew it. As all of us continued to dance I could feel like someone was staring well more like glaring at me. I continued to dance and glanced around, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from so I just ignored it. Once the girls were done with there song they all jumped around on stage waving then ran off the stage while the audience went crazy for them. Though the guys were screaming more...hmmm I wonder why. note the dripping sarcasm. Once all the girls were gone a girl walked out on stage with a mic smiling.

"Wow that was great dont you think!" The girl said into the mic making everyone cheer again, "Lets hear it for Girl Generation one more time." She said having everyone cheer louder.

I leaned my head out a little to see that what the twins said about there being camera's here recording the talent show was right. My eyes widened making me turn red. Oh god talk about PRESSURE!!!

The girls with the mic smiled, "Now let's give it up to another group of singers and dancers who call themselves Tsutsya!!!"

The crowed cheered though the girls quickly got louder when a bunch of hot looking Asian guys walked out on stage. How many I don't know there were a bunch of them. More then the girls I could tell you that much. I didn't even know this school had so many Asian's here. The guys all lined up with one in the middle and smirked as music started dancing after a few seconds of dancing everyone else joined in and started singing. It was like they were mixing rap with pop. And as much as I didn't like rap when they sang it in Korean it sounded pretty good. How did I know they were Korean well that'd be thanks to Donny who pointed out both groups were.

All of us backstage waited for a few hours until out turn was up and before we knew it te girl with the mic walked out on stage and smiled.

"Wow wasn't that....interesting." She strained the her voice at the last word since the last act was a big failure.

Everyone in the Audience laughed.

"Well then I would like you all to give the next group a warm welcome to Tracy and the girls plus one." She smiled and walked off stage as everyone cheered again.

Tracy and three other girls walked on stage. I raised an eyebrow wondering who the plus one was since Tracy was always with those three girls. Nothing seemed different about the group just that they were dressed probably a bit sluttier then usual. That's when everything turned around. It felt like my heart dropped straight to my stomach. I could hear the murmur all around the theater, the twins, Sammy and Donny all gasping. I couldn't believe my eyes at the sight in front of me. Who could cause such a reaction from pretty much the whole school. Well it was none other then that plus one person who was it...it was Lex walking on stage with his hands in his pockets and a smirk plastered on his face.

His eyes on the side of the stage where me and the guys were standing. The smirk on his face pretty much just spelled out "Fuck You" it was like a punch to the face. He walked up next to Tracy and put his arm around her waist loosely. Just that one move made me feel like throwing up. I could feel all the blood from my face drain.

"What the hells going on?" Eric asked

Deric spoke next, "You've got to be kidding right?"

I on the other hand had no words for this scene in front of me. I haven't ever felt this betrayed in my life. I mean I have lost friends before and I have had enemies before, but never had I had a friend betray me to go with the enemy. Was this why Lex just up and disappeared without a word.
