The Boys (Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 5: The Dance

Kenzie's POV
Today is the school dance. Of course, I'm not looking forward to it..but then again, I am. Me and all the boys except for Ashton have a plan for him and Emma.

When Emma was grounded, when she sat with us at lunch, all Ashton did was talk to her. And the way they looked at each other was adorable. Also, he walked her to her locker as they just talked. And then when she was ungrounded, all they did was hang out all the time. I know Ashton likes her, but all she would do is deny it saying that she doesn't go for those types of boys. We have to get them together!

I took my phone out to call her to come over so we could get ready.

"Hey." She answered.

"Aye boo, did you still want to get to come to my house to get ready for the dance?"

"Yasssss! I just have to get all my things and I'll be right over!!"

"Okay!"

We hung up and about 10 minutes later, I heard the front door open and she came up the stairs and into my room.

By the time we were finished getting ready, Emma was wearing nude flats with a dress that came to her knees and had shorts sleeves and was white lace at the top half with salmon pink and the bottom half was just salmon pink. I had on black combat boots and a black dress that came to the knee and had straps that covered my whole shoulder. There was silver rhinestones at the collar and a white bow on the stomach.

My hair was in loose curls and Emma's was in a cool complicated but simple braid that went straight down to above the middle of her back.

She had on silver eye shadow and black eyeliner and mascara with baby pink lipgloss.

I had on black eye shadow and eyeliner and mascara to give it a smokey eye look and dark red lip gloss.

To top it all off, Emma put on a necklace with a golden heart locket and I put on a silver feather necklace and we were done.

"You look so pretty!!" Emma smiled, making me twirl for her.

"I look okay I guess..." I looked at myself in the mirror. I turned to look at her. "But you look beautiful."

I'm not used to girly things like this, but it's really fun when I do them with my best friend. Wow that was cheesy..

"Thank you. Guys are going to be chasing you all over that gym."

"Na...they're gonna go after you, Emma."

"No. Stop arguing. You look gorgeous."

"Fine." I gave in. "Thank you. Now let's go!"

Emma's POV
We grabbed our phones and walked to my car and she drove us to the school where it already had a bunch of kids.

We went to the refreshments and poured ourselves some punch.

That's when I saw Sam walk in with his date. When his eyes landed on me, he stopped in his tracks, turned to look at her and cupped her face and kissed her.

I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my drink.

"Hey girls." Michael greeted when him and the other boys reached us.

"I've never seen you in a dress before, Kenzie." Luke smirked. "I like it."

Luke continued to flirt with Kenzie while the other boys and I talked.

"Do you know what's going on between Kenzie and Luke?" I asked, curiously.

"Okay, you didn't hear this from me, but Luke has a thing for Kenzie. Don't tell Kenzie. It'll eventually get back to him and he'll hate me." Calum said in one breath.

"Don't worry, I won't." I laughed.

"Will you dance with me?" I heard a random voice say behind me. I turned around and saw the guy in my chorus class and realized that a slow song was on.

"Yes, of course." I smiled, taking his hand that was offered to me.

"I'm Daren by the way."

"Emma."

As we danced, I kept looking over his shoulder to see Ashton looking at us with a smirk on his face. He gave me a thumbs up and kissy faces that made me laugh. I didn't even notice Daren talking to me..

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked kind of startled when I came to realization.

"You look nice." He repeated.

"Oh, thank you." I smiled, blushing in embarrassment.

When the song was over, he let my hand go.

"Thanks for the dance."

I smiled at him and he waved, walking away.

I went over to Kenzie and the guys where they just looked at me. For some reason they had amused but disappointed looks, which confused me.

Ashton's POV
It kind of bothered me to watch Emma dance with that guy. It shouldn't, but I can't help it. She looks so pretty tonight, as always...she makes me nervous when I'm around her. She's probably the only girl that'll wear pink that I've ever had feelings for. But I can't like her as anything more than a friend...we're so different.

"I know you're staring at her." Calum smiled, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"W-what?" I stuttered.

"You're looking at Emma. You should ask her to dance."

"Don't be ridiculous." I frowned at him. "Yes, she looks crazy beautiful tonight, but I only like her as a friend."

"That's not how it looks."

"How does it look?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Like you are completely in love with her."

"But I'm not."

"You are." Michael stepped in.

"I'm not." Before they could say anything else, I had walked away.

Emma's POV
It Will Rain by Bruno Mars came on and the minute that the tune started playing, I felt Kenzie start pushing me from behind.

"What are you doing?" I shrieked.

"You'll thank me later." She assured me.

She continued to pushing me far until I crashed into Ashton who was being pushed by the three boys.

"Dance!" Michael ordered before they all ran away.

Ashton politely offered his hand to me and I took it with a laugh as I put my free one on his shoulder and he put his on my waist.

"Have you had fun?" He asked.

"Yes, did you?"

"Yeah."

We talked for a bit and then it was quiet.

"You look really beautiful tonight." He said out of nowhere.

"Oh, thank you." I smiled with a blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"Your welcome." He smiled. "Do you...maybe...want to hang out tomorrow? You know, with me and the boys?"

"Uh...yeah sure." I laughed. Why did he seem so nervous to ask me that?

*******
"If you guys want, you can come in. My parents are out of town, so they won't be there to judge me...so..." I mumbled the last part.

"Why would they judge you? YOU'RE PERFECT!" Michael exaggerated.

"I'm not perfect!" I whined.

"You are, Emma. Admit it." Ashton chuckled.

"Let's just get out of the car." I muttered.

A/N: I really think I did a bad job on this chapter....
