We pulled up to the school. We all got out of the van. It was really cold and none of us had jackets.
We stood there for a minute waiting for the boys who were still in the car.
They got out and walked over to us.
"Ready to go my dear?" Mason asked Kimber as he stuck his arm out for her to link arms with her.
"Yes I am." She replied as they walked toward the school.
"Are you ready to go my dears?" Nixon ask both Shana and I in mocking tone as he put his arms out for us to take.
"Yes we are." We said in unison in the same mocking tone Nixon used, as we took his arms.
"Are you ready my dear?" I heard Grant ask Bettany as we walked towards the school.
I heard Bettany say yes. I looked back at them they had they're arms linked as they walked. Grant caught my eye when I was looking back at them. I smiled. He smiled back at me with his usual cute smile.
We caught up with Kimber and Mason, who were standing in to get in the door. Shortly after we reached them, Bettany and Grant reached us.
We all let go of each other, except for Mason and Kimber, they still had they're arms linked.
We had to stand in line for about five minutes. It didn't really bother me other then the fact that it was cold. We finally got inside. Luckily it was warmer then outside.
As we walked in we could see that all the tables were pushed to the side. All the lights were off but there were so many colored lights. It was dark but not too dark to see.
The place were the tables were was now a dance floor. There were a ton of people already dancing to the music that the DJ was playing. The DJ was up on the stage that was at the front of the room. It was also were the lights were coming from.
"You guys want to dance?" Grant asked all of us as we walked in.
We all agreed.
We started to dance on the side that the door was on.
After about two songs we all wanted to go explore the other side of the room. We went down a hallway. At the end of it was a photo booth. We got in line to get pictures in it. That's about the time we realized that Kimber and Mason weren't with us.
We all got up there and grab some props. We got asked how many of us were there. I counted quickly.
"Five." I answered as she let us in the booth.
We took one funny one, then a good one, then another funny one.
We walked out of the booth as a lady pointed to were we were supposed to go. We put the props back and got handed the pictures. There were five strips of the pictures so we each got one.
We walked back to the dance room. Grant saw a few other people that were in band, so we went over to say hello.
When we reach them they all started to talk with Grant, Bettany, and Nixon while me and Shana kinda stood back and observed. After a few minutes of standing there watching them talk Grant turned around and gestured for us to come over.
"Gavin, this is Bettany, and Cleo." Grant said.
"I've met Bettany before." The guy that Grant called Gavin said looking at Bettany. "And I've seen Cleo around, But I've never actually met her." Gavin said with a smile. That's when I really took a good look at him. He was tall. A little taller then Grant. He had what looked like blond hair. It was dark so I wasn't sure about the color, but I know it was kinda long. when he smiled I realized he was beyond handsome. "I'm Gavin." He said pulling me from my thoughts. As he said it he stuck his hand out to shake mine.
"I'm Cleo." I responded with a smile as I shook his hand. His hand was so much bigger then mine.
"Hi, Grant!" A girl that I've seen in band said as she walked up to Grant and us.
"Hi, Addie!" Grant said as he turned to her as he smiled.
About the time Grant said that, Mason and Kimber walked up.
"Hey, Gavin!" Kimber said as they walked up.
"Hi, Kimber!" Gavin said with a smile. Right about then is when the first slow song I've heard all night.
"Can I have this dance?" Mason asked Kimber.
She said yes.
"Can I have this dance?" Nixon asked Bettany.
She said yes.
"Can I have this dance?" Gavin asked me.
"Uh, sure." I responded. I was very unsure about this. I mean I only just met the guy and he's asking me to dance.
He grab my hand and walked a little ways away to an open spot were we could dance.
As we were dancing I could see that Grant asked Shana to dance.
At first it was weird to dance with Gavin. I didn't know him before today.
As we danced we made small talk. About school, mostly.
That's when things went bad. As we were dancing I heard some yelling from behind me.
I tuned around and saw that Grant was getting yelled at by a guy I didn't recognize. He was yelling at him because he was dancing with Shana. As far as I knew Shana didn't have a boyfriend. But this guy said that she was his 'girl'.
Me and Gavin stopped dancing and walked over to were it was all happening.
"That's my girl! How could you dance with her if you knew she was mine?!" He yelled at Grant.
"I didn't know." Grant said as calmly as he could.
"I'm not your 'girl' Aaron." Shana said getting in between the two boys.
"Yes you are!" The guy Aaron yelled getting closer to her.
She stepped back a little.
Grant stepped in front of Shana, in between her and the guy, Aaron.
"Get out of the way!" Aaron yelled at Grant, trying to pushing him out of the way. Grant didn't move.
The guy started at Grant and thew a punch right at his face. Grant didn't have time to react. He got hit hard, and stumbled to the ground.
As Aaron started at Grant again, Mason, Nixon, and Gavin ran up and took Aaron to the ground and kept him there as Bettany ran to get an adult. I ran over to Grant, he wasn't responding to me.
