Game on Chapter 10

Vick’s POV

I was dancing with Brittany and just finally getting my footing when I heard people start to talk and whisper. “Wow”, Brittany said looking over at the door. I just noticed we’d stopped dancing and I looked up to see what the big deal was. It turned out the big deal was Grace had just arrived with Michael. She looked so different now almost like a princess. Her long blonde hair was curled and pulled over her left shoulder with he bangs on that side and she was wearing a dark blue chiffon halter cocktail dress. She wasn’t wearing my necklace tonight she was wearing a knife necklace. It was cool but I was upset that she wasn’t wearing my necklace.

“She looks good”, one of the guys said, “Who knew Ace could look like a chick”. She went over to the dance floor with Michael and they started dancing and slowly everyone else started dancing too. I went and got another beer while Brittany went to talk with her new friends. I saw Pavlo talking to Alena and I was glad they were together now I didn’t have that guy near Grace. The dance seemed to breeze by I danced with Brittany and plenty of other girls trying to get to Grace. I wanted to talk to her but I never got the chance. About halfway through I went to the first after party leaving Brittany to hang out with her friends. I went to the party and got even drunker and more uncoordinated.

Ace’s POV

As we entered the hall everyone went silent and stared at us. Michael looked handsome in his pure black suit with a dark silver tie but I knew they were staring at me. “Have I mentioned how beautiful you look yet?” he said pulling me over to the dance floor.

“Not that I can recall”, I said.

“You look gorgeous”, he said kissing my cheek then the first song started playing. If You’re Gone started playing and we started dancing. He was a great dancer and he kept up surprising well. We stayed in step from song to song and he eventually went to talk to his new friends and I found my girls hanging out by the refreshment table.

“Hey there hot stuff”, Cleo smirked.

“I know I actually look like a girl today”, I said posing. They all laughed and we sat down over near the stage.

“He’s godly be glad you saw him first because I’m sure he’s got opinions now”, Serena said twirling her hair around her finger.

“I’d be an opinion”, Bridget sighed.

“Too bad he’s mine and I’m not sharing”, I said smugly.

“I didn’t know you were interested in Moroi guys now”, Haley said surprised.

“I had a change of heart after my fight with Vick I needed someone and Michael was there, he was cute, funny and into me so I took a chance”, I explained.

“We always thought if you’d ever date a Moroi guy it’d be Vick”, Julie said without warning.

“Vick’s my best friend I don’t think of him like that”, I said looking around for him, “besides Moroi guys don’t settle with dhampir girls”.

“I guess you’re right we’re all set up for the nun life”, Cleo said and we sat in silence about five minutes thinking about our futures.

“Anyone want another beer?” I asked hopefully.

“Oh yeah”, they all said.

“We can be drunken nuns”, Haley said cheerily. We all laughed and had about five more cups of cheap beer. We were all dancing together when some of the Moroi girls challenged us to a dance off. Edge of Glory started to play and we started dancing around keeping in step with each other. We beat them by a long shot getting way more applause and we struck a pose at the end.
