"Oh my God. You look absolutely stunning!" Tina says dramatically falling back on her bed, causing Emily to laugh. "I don't know. I'm not really a dress type of person." "Oh come onnn Henry's going to flip." Emily looks in Tina's body mirror. Emily's wearing a thin red dress that hugs every curve of her body with a black leather jacket, and black leather boots.

She takes a minute to take in her appearance then seconds later. "Wow. I'm kind of hot." "Seeee. Now let's go before we're late."

It's now 6:00 pm and the two are pulling into the lot full of teens taking pictures. "We still have fifteen minutes before the dance starts, I'm going to go look for Henry."

Emily says leaving Tina with Timothy. Timothy's a blonde boy with glasses and a tie. 'Typical' Emily laughs to herself. Tina has a type, a weird type.

"Whoa! I see you Cinderella." One of Henry's friends laughs as Emily walks through the hallway.

"Cinderella's dress was blue." She laughs. "Do you guys know where Henry is?" "Uh yeah he should be down there." The boys point to the end of the hall. Emily starts to make her way down there, stopping at Mr. Heins door.

She starts to knock but is then interrupted by Henry. "Wow Oh my God, Emily." "What? Is something wrong?" "What? No. You look- You look amazing. Totally better then those rusty man hunting outfits you be wearing." He laughs, and Emily joins in.

"The dance is that way." Emily quickly freezes. Turning around seeing an angry looking Mr. Heins standing in his doorway.

"Yeah but it didn't star-" "The dance is that way. Not in front of my door. I suggest you get there. Now." "Sorry sir." Henry quickly turns around grabbing Emily's hand and pulling her with him, laughing.

Emily quickly looks back at Mr. Heins, who is watching her from where he stands. Leaning on his doorframe with his arms folded. He still looks angry. But Emily doesn't know why, so she lets it go for now.

Everyone is now in the Gym dancing, eating, talking, and taking pictures. Emily on the other hand is seated at a table by herself. Henry had went off with some of his friends telling Emily that he would be back in a few seconds. That was 10 minutes ago.

"Hey! Why are you over here? When you should be over there with us?" Tina says skipping over to Emily. "Uh I'm just enjoying the view from over here."

Emily's smiles. She's ready to go home and crawl in bed watching another episode of White collar. "Tina come here!" One of her friends call. Forgetting about Emily she runs over to them.

Emily can't be mad at her for having a good time. So she decides to go wait by the bathroom until Tina's ready to take her home.

Emily sits on the ground in the corner by the girls bathroom. "Your dress will get dirty." A tall man says over the loud music in the back, standing right in front of her.

She looks up seeing Mr. Heins. He's wearing a dark blue suit, with a shiny belt shining bright from the colorful dance lights around the gym.

"They invented washers for a reason." She looks down on her phone. Deep down she's happy he's here, and now that he is maybe he can take her home.

"Hey Uh.." she starts to get up, he then offers her his hand to help her up. She takes it smiling as she is now positioned right in front of him.

Their face inches from each other. They quickly move away as a group of laughing girls make their way pass the two.
