Luck Turns ~ A Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction ~

Chapter 22 - Just Dance

VIOLET'S POV

I stare at myself in the mirror, wondering how the girls managed to make me look this good. I was wearing a pinkish gold dress that had a metallic shimmery bodice that hugged my body, then at my hips, switched to ruffles that ended at about midthigh. My long black hair was curled and put into a fancy up do with a few strands left hanging down, secured by a gold clip. I was wearing metallic gold eye shadow, gold eyeliner that was winged at the edges, and pale pink lipstick.

"Vi! Grab your shoes and let's go!" I hear Bekah yell from downstairs, where all the girls are waiting for me. Actually, waiting on me and probably Alyssa too. She takes longer than I do to get ready.

Grabbing my shoes, which were strappy gold heels, I run barefoot down the stairs to find three girls sitting on the couch watching Spongebob. So we are still waiting for Alyssa then. I sit down on the arm of the sofa an put my shoes on. As I'm putting the last strap in place, Alyssa runs down the stairs, heels in hand. "I'll put them on in the car." she says, making a beeline for the door. The rest of us pick up and follow her, me falling in next to Deanna as we head for the elevator.

"You ready for tonight?" she asks, and I nod, smiling at the thought of what's to come tonight. "LET'S DO THIS POO!!" I yell as we reach the lobby, earning me some dirty looks from a couple of old ladies hanging out there. Who hangs out in the lobby of a flat building?

Outside, we all pile into Deanna's car, and she turns on the radio while pulling out of the parking lot and heads toward the clubhouse that the dance it at. What Makes You Beautiful comes on, and the girls and I immediately start singing at the top of our lungs.

"That's what makes you beautiful!" we scream as we pull into the clubhouse driveway. Oh looky, we're here. The guard gives us a little sticker for the windshield, and Deanna hands the car over to a valet standing at the door. Fancy dance right? My school likes to go all out.

As we're all brushing ourselves off and getting ready to go inside, I feel two hands cover my eyes. "Guess who?" a male voice says from behind me. I pry his hands off, laughing, and turn around to see Louis grinning at me. I give him a huge hug.

"Hey Boobear!" I squeal. I'm so excited, I haven't seen him in over a month!! Waaay to long. He laughs and hugs me back, picking me up off the ground as he wraps his arms around me. "I have something to tell you later. Two things, actually." he whispers in my ear. I give him a weird look as he sets me down, but he just gives me a look that says 'later'. Sticking my tongue out at him, I finally give him a quick once-over, which turns out to be not so quick. His black suit fits him perfectly, and the pale pink tie he's wearing matches my dress too.

Louis smirks at me, and I realize he's caught me checking him out. Blushing, I turn around to give the rest of the boys hugs, and we all exchange hugs. Of course, Harry has to throw in a few cheeky comments, but that's his normal. Finally, I grab Louis' arm an we go inside.

"Woah.." is all we can say as we take in the decorations. Fairy lights have been strung from the ceiling, some strands hanging down and wrapping around poles that also support a network of ribbons in out school colors that lace around their tops. Tables have been set up around the perimeter of the room that hold food and drinks. The DJ stand is at the front of the room, raised slightly off the dance floor. I wave to my friend Chloe who's the DJ tonight. She waves back, giving me a thumbs up and a wink. I smile, so excited for tonight.

"Vi, heads up." Hannah nudges me and points discreetly toward the door we've moved away from a little. Ryan struts in, looking like he owns the place with that cocky smirk on his face. He's immediately assaulted by Megan, who's wearing a black dress that leaves way too little to the imagination. They walk off together toward one of the drink tables, not noticing me at all. Speaking of noticing, I'm amazed that the boys haven't been mobbed yet. I guess I have a cooler school than I thought.
