truth be told

chapter 15

*clays pov*

"God nick I'm so scared" I say as nick does my tie, "I know dude you've said that like 100 times since lunch," he rolls his eyes, I let out a small chuckle, "yeah,". He finishes with my tie and steps back, "there you go, all done!" He smiles as I embrace him, "thanks man," I whisper. 

I look into the mirror. I'm wearing a very dark green (nearly black) suit, my hair is loose but parted neatly and my nails are freshly painted black and are adorned with silver rings. I run a slightly shaking hand through my hair. I was so nervous. Today was the Yule ball and I was going with George. I wasn't nervous about being with George or anything, it was the fact that we were the only male couple there. I take some deep breaths as nick walks in. He stands behind me, "wow the mirror is really getting some today," he laughs, "I guess you add to it a little bit," I roll my eyes laughing, "is it ok?" I ask, "you look great man," he replies, I turn around, "you too, such a shame you aren't going with Karl tho," he sighs, "yeah, but I could just dance with him, he's on his own too" "true" I say as we both leave to go to the hall. 

We walk down the corridor towards the hall and I start to play with the rings on my fingers. I take some steady breaths as we reach the entrance. George isn't here yet and neither is Karl or Darryl or Zak. After a while we see Zak and Darryl walking down the hall holding each others hands, Darryl slightly giggling. "Hey guys!" Zak calls, "oh my god you two are together?" I ask, "um yeah !" I let out a sigh of relief, "that's great guys! I'm so hapoy for you!" Says nick. "Hey nimrods!" Karl calls as he jogs towards us, he also has black painted nails and a dark purple suit, "Karl!" Nick says giving him a hug, Zak leans closer to me, "are they..?" He whispers, I shake my head, "no, well not yet" I whisper back smiling. I regain my posture as the pairs talk, where is George? As I'm starting to get worried I feel a pair of hands on my shoulders, I flinch away shouting, "HOLY SH!T" I turn around and see george doubled over laughing, "g-got y-you" he says between laughs. I frown but try to keep in my own laugh. I hear everyone laughing behind me. I cross my arms and pout. "Aww don't be like thatttt" I break into a smile and give him a hug. Once we pull away I fully look at what he is wearing. He's wearing a really dark blue suit and I spot his hands, he painted his nails. "Clayyyyy hellooooooo?" I snap back and blush slightly, "s-sorry you just look amazing," he smiles, "thank you! You look amazing aswell" "your nails look really good aswell" I add, taking his hand, he blushes, "I-I wanted to match yours" I pull him closer and plant a kiss on his forehead, "come on let's goooo!" George says excitedly, I smile and take him inside.

(I'm really sorry but I suck at describing things :/)

We walk into the hall and I'm blown away by its beauty. Chandeliers dangle from the ceiling that sparkle like diamonds. There is a long table with too many meals to count. People crowd the hall. Soft music fills the room and I pull george towards a group of my friends. We all say hellos and talk until louder music fills the hall, "care for a dance?" I bow towards george holding out my hand, "yes, I would love too" he takes my hand and we walk to the floor. "Now put a hand on my shoulder," he giggles, "so I'm the lady?" "Naturally". I take his other hand and step back.

(I also don't know how to dance so just imagin a cute waltz or whatever lol)

"Clay slow down!" George laughs as we run down the corridor, "no you hurry up" we run up to the astronomy tower. I swing open the hatch and pull him inside. We climb across the roof tiles and lay down, looking up to the stars. I sigh happily as I look up at the millions of sparks in the sky. "It's beautiful" george whispers, "yeah" I say back. We lay there for a while, george yawns, "god I'm tired," "you wanna head back?" I pout, I wanted this to last for ever, "no, I like it up here." He turns to me and smiles, "with you". I give him a small kiss on his lips. He giggles. Slowly he nuzzles into my blazer and slowly closes his eyes. I place my arms around him as I start to hear his gentle snores. I smile to myself. Tonight was the best night of my life.
