Everyone was frozen in time, not breathing even and then Skylar was the first one to jump up from her seat and run towards me. She launched herself and went for a hug. It almost made me trip but I managed to stay standing. Everyone then congratulated me and they started to ask questions but I told them that I only found her full name and nothing else, and also I don't want this whole party to be focused on me. Skylar of course pouted as she was still glued to me like a koala but I promised to tell them everything I know.
The party went back to normal, Kisha blasted the music to a loud volume again and started dancing. Skylar immediately joined her which made me chuckle how silly it might look but they seem to really enjoy themselves, like they are the only ones in this whole world, so free. Solya tapped on my shoulder as she wiggled her hips and passed me with her arms up on her way to join the girls. I followed her moves as she kept dancing but pointing her index finger on me now, bending it upwards and calling me to dance. I started to shake my head and my hands that I am not a dancer but then Lucy started to hype me up and everyone around her joined too. I smiled and then decided that I should also enjoy myself so I started to step right to left, left to right in a small strides as I did waves with my upper body. Reilly saw me and she startled to whistle at my moves so I tried to step up my game. I tossed my arms up to the air and played with them in slow motion as I pressed my thighs together and then started to bend my knees. After I was close to the ground, I repeated the moves but upwards. Reilly whistled again and yelled she's crazy but I wanted to win this fight so I threw her a flirting expression and then seductively walked towards her. When I was close, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from the giant pillow. Reilly didn't protest and she joined me on the dancefloor which is essentially just a space the girls made in the living room.
I danced with Reilly for the most part but sometimes we joined other girls and danced in a group. I don't know how much time has passed and for how long I have been dancing but I am past any muscle pain or my knees giving out. We just all had so much fun but I wanted everyone to enjoy this party. Gan Fo has been very quiet and he was just sitting in the corner while drinking and not really participating to anything. Dancing might be too much to ask but I didn't want him to just be here like a doom and gloom while everyone else is having fun, so I looked around the room and tried to come up with something that we can all do. Some of the balloons were scattered around the floor and I almost tripped over one but it gave me an idea.
Me: Hey guys. Should we play volleyball with the balloons? We have enough people to split into two teams.
Kisha: Sounds fun, let's do it.
Crimen and Kisha used their powers to move some of the ribbons, splitting the room in half and creating a net out of them. Me, Reilly and Nima, we took small things that we could find which wouldn't get in a way and placed them around the room, creating a court.
Me: This should do it. Okay, who wants to be the captain and pick people for their team?
Gaia: I can sit this one out or be the referee.
"Everyone" can enjoy this, yeah Kaitlin, good idea. I totally forgot that Gaia is blind and it will be hard for her to play even with using her powers to connect to spirits and see through their eyes. I opened my mouth to apologize but Gaia only lifted her hand, facing her palm towards me and stopping me before I could say anything.
Chanti: I can sit this one out too then so that we have even numbers on the teams, five on five.
I tilted my head because I was confused by what Chanti means. We should definitely have full volleyball team number, which is six. I quickly scanned the room and counted people. Gan Fo still in the corner, Jess and Enko picking up which balloon we are going to use, Crimen and Kisha making the net, Solya is helping Reilly finish up placing the borders for the court, Chanti is braiding her long hair and Gaia is with Nima and Lucy sitting on the pillows, then me and that's everyone I counted in the room. We are missing Skylar and Nathan. Oh. But I wasn't mad about them disappearing from the dorm room, even though I didn't even notice when they slipped out. Good luck, Nathan.
