(Sapphire's POV)
I walk into the dance with a frown on my face. I always hated these school events. My best friend Kayla always makes me go, then spends the entire time making out with her boyfriend. "Kayla, I don't want to be here!" I exclaim as we walk to the table where her boyfriend is sitting.
"I know you don't, babe, but tonight is the night where we take chances! Let loose a little bit, will ya?" she responds, making me groan. It's the first dance of the year and our first high school dance ever. We sit at the table where her boyfriend and his friends are sitting. I immediately notice one of his friends. He's hot and seems to have a cool personality by the way people are talking to him.
I smile as Kayla and her boyfriend immediately hug, but frown when it turns into a make-out session yet again. I snap my head in their direction and her boyfriend Stevon looked at me, tensing up.
I just recently have gotten out of a relationship. I'm still in love with my ex-boyfriend. Kayla told me that today, well tonight, I can't be thinking about him at all. It's hard I got to admit but maybe I can get this guy to dance with me...
I go and sit down beside him, I need to get to know him, my heart hurts and I'm very vulnerable. I miss Thomas. We have been broken up for one an a half weeks. We talk every once in a while but not that much, he's trying to get me back. Lately he has stopped trying. Tomorrow is Sunday, this stupid dance ends at midnight. On Monday ill ask him out again, but for now I'm going to please Kayla and talk to this guy.
His name is Anthony. He just moved here and he has Kayla's blocks. He is nice but would never replace Thomas. Ill act like I like him, for Kayla. He brought me onto the dance floor... Oh great I hate dancing, it's almost the last song. All of these girls are hanging on him and trying to get him to dance with them. The girls are grinding on him, he keeps looking around. What's he looking for? He sees me and gets away from the girls. I'm sitting at the table, I grounded Steven and Kayla from kissing, they aren't listening. Oh well, they are having fun. Anthony comes and sits by me.
Last song of the day, of course a slow dance. Anthony's singing and all of the girls are sitting around him. I Stand up to tell Kayla we are going to leave and Anthony gets up.
"Will you dance with me" he says.
I don't know what to say. I don't want to dance with him, oh well... I will to please Kayla.
"Um, sure. I guess." I replied, "I've never slow danced with anyone before..."
"That's okay, just place your hands here, around my neck" he says.
Oh god. He has his hands on my waist. I feel like I'm cheating on Thomas, I hate it. I don't like it at all.
"Can I dance with you Anthony" asks a girl named Sarah.
Yes! I scream in my head. I don't have to dance with him anymore. Okay, I'm fine.
Kayla finally stops sucking Stevon's face for a little bit and asks me what's wrong. I tell her I just want to go home, she knows that I still love Thomas but while we are waiting for our ride she convinces me to tell Thomas that I had an amazing night and danced with a guy that I like, she said it would make him jealous... I don't know if it will work... But it's worth a try.
Now I know that quote, what is it.... Ummm...
"You don't know what you have until you lose it."
