CHAPTER TWELVE

FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE 'B'

SALLYS POV

I devised a perfect plan tonight. I just need everything and everyone to be put in their perfect place. Something funny was going on and I'm going to find out what. People from school are present even Terry and her group are here. I was surprised that they came, but why wouldn't they? Troy was coming.

I've known Elizabeth for years and I've never been angry with her like this before, we had little quarrels but we settled quickly, it didn't last more than a day. I know she was friends with Troy before and maybe they're just becoming best friends again, maybe I'm reasoning this entire situation all wrong or I'm just being paranoid.

Cory arrived at my house earlier, Troy and Elizabeth are no where to be found but Cory said they'll be here soon. That was another thing, why were they even coming together in the first place?

"Sally are you okay?" Cory drew me out go my thoughts "I'm fine." I replied with a smile

"It's just... You seem to be spacing out."

"I'm just thinking that's all." I looked at the front door that just opened. Elizabeth and Troy just walked in. Elizabeth was pretty, she just didn't give herself enough credit. Her hair, her dress, her smile. Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel jealous?

ELIZABETHS POV

I arrived at Sally's house with Troy. I think I overdid it though. My make up and everything. Troy bought my dress for me, that was so nice of him. Eyes were on us, mostly on him though. Sally's house was filled with people, I didn't expect it. I saw Sally looking at me, our eyes met. I need to apologize to her but I'm not sure what for. I didn't do anything wrong.

It's not my fault that Troy likes me and not her! 'Where did that come from?' I said to myself, I really need to put my anger aside.

Terry walked towards us, not to us, to Troy.

"Troy you came!" Why was Terry behaving as if it was her party? She rolled her eyes at me. Troy replied with a nod.

"What are you doing here?"

She asked rudely, I'm not really in the mood for this.

"I'm going to meet them." I told Troy pointing to Sally and Cory's direction, he nodded. Troy was quiet tonight, I didn't know why. I walked to Sally, she did the same.

"Elizabeth!" She hugged me, that was surprising. She let me go and I waved to Cory, he waved back. I wish we could do more than that.

"I'm glad you came."

"You look beautiful."

She smiled, it was completely fake. "Y-you too." She hesitated before she said so. I looked at Cory, he was more handsome than ever. We all starred at each other in silence, we had nothing to say to each other, this was so awkward. Troy walked to us.

"Ally I'm hungry where's the food?"

Seriously? Troy had no manners. The first thing he did when he talked to Sally was to ask for food, he didn't even acknowledge Cory.

"Actually there's still pizza I'll get you some." Sally started to walk away

"Nice party by the way!" He yelled. That was an improvement. Sally blushed, Troy looked at Cory and they both exchanged deadly glares. What the hell was going on?

Sally came back with pizza for Cory and Troy. Was there a reason she left me out? Troy accepted his. Cory didn't, he said he wasn't hungry. Sally gave me the piece she was going to give Cory bit I didn't accept it. It felt as if I was a dog and I was eating left over.

I looked at Cory. I had never seen him eat, I found it weird. Not once at the cafeteria, he was either talking to Troy or texting. Troy ate the 'left over.' Cory looked at me, he knew I was staring at him because he wasn't eating and he walked away.

"Liz do you want to dance?"

'Why does Troy keep doing this to me?' I asked myself. I looked at Sally, sadness was all over her face, then jealousy.

"I'll dance with you." She chirped in.

"Actually I'm dancing with Liz." Troy dragged me away.

SALLYS POV

I came back with pizza for Cory and Troy, I don't really care about Elizabeth. Troy accepted his. Cory didn't, he never accepted anything I gave him and I don't care why. I gave the piece to Elizabeth. She didn't accept hers. I'm happy I didn't waste my energy in the first place to get one for her.

I watched Troy eat, he ate the other slice too, he looked too cute. Our eyes met, he smiled and continued eating. As I looked at Troy, Liz looked at Cory, this was the way it was supposed to be. Cory walked away, I wandered why. When Troy finished eating he looked at me, I'm a hundred percent sure that he was going to ask me to dance. I'm getting anxious.

"Liz do you want to dance?"

Ouch. That was a big slap on the face. To make it worst Elizabeth looked at me 'guilty' written all over her. My sadness was now replaced with jealousy.

"I'll dance with you." I chirped in.

"Actually I'm dancing with Liz." Troy dragged Liz away.

This hurts, it's too painful. All sort of bad feelings came over me, jealousy, greed, anger, sadness, vengeance were all present.

I don't know what came over me, I quickly ran to Cory, gave him a tap, he turned around to look at me. I didn't allow him to say anything, I just yanked his collar and kissed him. He was surprised at first but soon he started kissing me back and our lips were not in sync. I could tell from my peripheral vision that eyes were on us. I hoped one or of those eyes belonged to Elizabeth. I stopped to catch my breath. I used my eyes to look for Elizabeth.

"Sally?"

I'm ignoring Cory. I turned to my right and I spotted Elizabeth. She saw nothing, she didn't see the kiss. She was busy dancing with Troy. MY Troy.

"Sally!"

Cory turned me around to face him "Did you do that... Did you do that just to make a point?!" The anger in Cory's voice, I can't, I can't describe it. He sighed in frustration.

"I guess I was wrong about you."

He walked away.

"Cory!" I yelled, he kept on walking a away. "C-Cory?"

My voice was breaking, I guess I got a taste of my own medicine. The tears I was holding streamed down. I wanted to break down.

That moment all I cared about, all I wanted to care about is Cory.
