You ready?" Kristin asked me. We were sitting in my car in the school car park. It was the Winter Formal and everyone was over dressed and some were even tipsy as they headed into the gym.
I was meant to tell Kristin the horrendous crime Elle had committed but I couldn't. I had tried all day and failed. I couldn't ruin the night for Kristin. Elle had another day before I told Kristin the truth.
"Sure." I nodded and tried to hide how nervous I was feeling but I had never gone to a school function before. I didn't see the point or have a reason to go until now. Not even Tina could drag me to a dance.
"It's going to be fun and you look great. I love your tux." Kristin smiled and grabbed my hand. I had decided on a black tux with a white shirt and green tie and even thought it clashed a little with Kristin's dress she didn't seem to care at all. Her dress was strapless and had a plunging neckline which was covered in blue and pink sequins while the waist had a thick pink ribbon tied around it. From the waist down there were two layers; the bottom was a cheetah pattern which consisted of pinks and purples while the top layer was made of some transparent pink material. It definitely reflected Kristin's almost wild personality.
"Well I love your dress." I smiled. Kristin looked fantastic, amazing and beautiful. I could barely look away from her and it got me thinking. I still couldn't believe that I was at the Winter Formal with her let alone dating her.
"Come on let's do this. I want to show you off." Kristin kissed me quickly before she pulled away and got out of the car.
It's just a dance. It's just dancing... You can do this. I coached myself as I took a deep breath and got out of the car.
The entrance was decorated with blue and white balloons but it looked more like advertising for a birthday party than a formal, and Kristin grabbed my hand as she started to lead the way through the car park and into the gym.
The inside looked a lot better than the outside. There were very wide blue and white streamers that bunched together in the middle of the roof and fanned out to the corners of the room, as well as a bunch of white and blue balloons which hung from the middle of the ceiling. The middle of the gym was left for dancing while tables surrounded the dance floor and there were snowflakes plastered all over the walls.
"Well I could see,
You home with me,
But you were with another man, yea!
I know we,
Ain't got much to say,
Before I let you get away, yea!
I said, are you gonna be my girl?"
The band was singing are you gonna be my girl by Jet and everyone was staring at us in shock as we entered the gym; even some of the teachers seemed surprised by our presence.
"They sure are subtle." Kristin snickered.
"Yeah real subtle," I replied. Thankfully they got bored of staring after a few minutes well apart from Cory who looked like he wanted to rip my head off, although I just smiled and wrapped my arm around Kristin's waist before she started to steer us towards an empty table.
"Okay so maybe I lied when I said it wouldn't be lame but we can always skip out early." Kristin suggested as we took a seat at the table and ignored the other students as they continued to steal glances from time to time.
"Why can't we skip out now?" I was already over it although the tux part wasn't that bad it was actually pretty comfortable.
"Because we still have to slow dance and I have to lean my head on your shoulder, and then you're meant to kiss me." Kristin smirked.
"You watch too many chick flicks." I teased.
"I know which means you have to be my Freddie Prinze Junior; think you can handle such a near impossible task?"
