Dance With Me

School dances are pathetic and boring and something which are just not meant for me.

Who would wanna slow dance to stupid songs all night? But between stupid high schoolers they are popular and something people die for.

And when you are one of the so called popular people of the school you have no choice but attend such dances mostly because of your clingy girlfriend and friends.

Thankfully I had broken up with my girlfriend Emilia a week before the dance. At least I wouldn't have to dance with her. I was now mostly going for my friends as we had made plans for a house party after the dance. Now parties were my thing.

So there I was in a tuxedo standing in front of a mirror adjusting my bowtie and then ruffling my black fringe.

"Phil your friends are here" I heard my mum's voice.

"Coming" I replied back before rushing downstairs.

"You look lovely honey" mum said.

"Thanks mum, see you later" I said.

"Have fun"

I saw my friends all huddled up in a SUV waving at me. I grinned stepping in the car.

After a ride full of jokes and laughing we reached our school. Our gym served as the place for all the school dances. It was crammy and poorly decorated.

My friends were already dancing so I stood in the corner with my phone scrolling through tumblr when I saw a small boy standing a few feet away from me staring nervously around. He had brown hair which was styled exactly like mine I was pretty sure I had seen him before but I couldn't remember.

Then I suddenly remembered him. He was in my Chemistry class. His name was Damon or Daniel or something like that.

As I was looking at him he stared back at me. His eyes widened a little as he looked away. Am I really that scary? Though me being popular does give out the vibe that I am an asshole I am actually a very nice person and nothing like those cliché guys from movies who harass kids. I am a genuinely nice person.

For sometime I just stood there but I was bored out of my mind so I decided to talk to the Damon Daniel guy as he was the only one around.

"Hey" I said.

He looked at me before meekly saying 'Hi'

"Are you alone tonight?" I asked him.

"Yeah" he said.

"Why is that?" I asked him.

"My date broke their hand" he answered.

"Oh that's sad" I said.

"It's fine" he said. "I didn't really want to go with them anyway"

I laughed.

"That's good then"

"Yeah" he smiled.

"I am Phil by the way" I said.

"I know that"

"And you are?" I asked him.

"Dan"

"Well nice to meet you Dan" I smiled.

He smiled back and I was glad to see he was much less nervous than before.

"Do you have a date?" he asked me.

"Nah dances aren't really my thing" I answered.

"Well why did you come then?"

"My friends" I said putting air quotes. "wanted me to come"
