"....And so we're now dating," i explained my friends the story. I was waiting for them to be like 'Congrats' or 'Who would have thought you two guys would be so in love' or atleast some sort of change in expression. But they were all mundane and none of them even blinked.
"Phew finally," Deidre said.
"Thank god he finally said it. Greg kept going on and on with that speech, of his this whole last week." Zay said.
"Yeah my ears were hurting. And finally this coward said he loves you." Dylan said as he threw a chip at Greg.
"Yeah. I mean it was obvious from the start. And gosh the way Greg bossed me around." Aurora mimicked Greg and how he kept nagging her and asking her if all the arrangements were done. Hmm i guess i was the only clueless ine here. Wait clueless. Oblivious. Oh mi god. He was trying to say he loves you when he was talking about her. You are 'her'.
"Stop it you guys. Hey come one. Lets go dance." Greg grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dancefloor. The others followed closely.

Cake by the ocean by DNCE was playing. We all went crazy and started dancing. Zay was doing some weird lawnmower dance where he moved his lanky arms and legs in a weird motion. Deidre was just there a little red and embarassed but she just did a small dance. Dylan and Aurora were doing the nae nae. While Greg was like the cutest thing ever. He was trying to act cool but he looked like a kid on a pogo stick. We were a crazy bunch. We were like a bunch of mad hatters.

The entire night we danced and partied and had the best time ever. It was amazing.

Finally we decided to take a breather and sat back down at our table. "So guys, summer vacay coming up. Whose doing what?" Deidre asked as she took a sip of her punch. Everyone shrugged.
"Well I'm going for a three day cruise with Gigi and my dad," Dylan said in a sad voice. Are you kidding me? You effing rich. Enjoy life you freak.
"Yeah you so cool,"Aurora teased as she rolled her eyes, "but guys lets do something these holidays. I don't want to just stay home and look at the walls." She had a point.
"I've got an idea. My dad owns a cottage near the beach. We can go down there for the holidays," Zay suggested. In between all the dust and rubble, there is sigh of a bery tint and unused brain inside that boy's head.
"That'll be awesome." Greg yelled.
We all agreed and it was decided. We were all going to head down to the beach and stay at Zay's dad's cottage for a week or two. Well Dylan said he'll be coming two days after us but other than that all of us were going.

"Hey Dylan. Wanna dance?" a squeeky voice said behind me. I turned around and a blonde girl stood there. She looked familliar, i think we had a Maths together. She looked like a barbie doll, in her glittery pink dress.
"Hailey. Umm these are my friends. And guys this is Hailey." Dylan said as he stood up from the table. Dylan went and stood by her as she greeted all of us. "Hi guys. Ooh, hi Greg. Nice tux." she winked. Ha, that bitch.
"Thank you." Greg politly said. Then she grabbed Dylan's arm and they went to the dancefloor.

"Who was that?" i asked a little annoyed.
"She's Hailey Robinson. We have History." Greg explained. Excuse me. You guys have 'History'
"Ha! Well she's annoying." i said.
"I know right," Aurora chimed in. We then started talking about Barbie doll. "And her heel...oh my god," we went in and on about her. Wait. I have a right to be jealous as she was hitting on my man but why is Aurora reacting this way? I decided not to touch up on that topic hut this is ine thing I'll have to ask her sometime soon.
Greg just sat there, his hand on his cheek. "Lets go dance, please." he said after a while. After finally convincing me, we went to the dancefloor and this time it was a slow song.

"Did i tell you, you look beautiful tonight?" Greg whispered. My head was on his chest as we slowly just swayed our bodies to the rythm of the music. It felt so good a peaceful.
I nodded, "Yeah and you look good in tux." i said. From the corner of my eyes i saw him smile.
"I love you."
"I love you too," it felt good saying this to him.

I may not be the real fairy tale kinda Cinderella but i still got a night worth to remeber. I found my prince. I danced all night long. I had a great time. And the best part of all this is, i know all this won't be over after 12:00. Well, i hope so.
