My Boy (Roman Godfrey)

Dancing with the devil

"Susan, I literally have nothing cute to wear! I just shouldn't even go at this point!" I say as I plop down onto my bed. Susan is one of my friends from school. We just started hanging out this week and have already become pretty close. We decided that she would come to my house and we'd go to the dance together.

"Calm down scar, we can just stop by the mall, okay?"
I sigh and look at her.
"Okay, I guess. We have to be quick though."

Once we pull up to the mall we exit the car and make our way inside.
"There's this really awesome prom store that I've seen before. My friends mom works there so maybe we can get a discount!" Susan claps her hands together excitedly.
I smile and nod my head, following her into the store. As we enter into the store my nose is immediately filled with expensive perfume.

"Alright so what are we going for?" Susan questioned me, pulling her pointer finger up to her lip.
"I-I uh... I don't know, I guess sexy but innocent" I laugh nervously looking around at all of the nice clothing. "Alright... you do remember that this is a Halloween party right?...."
Susan asks raising her right eyebrow.
"Yeah... but I wasn't planning on dressing up." I say with one arm wrapped around the other.

Susan shakes her head "Well that's about to change. Hmm, who could we dress you up as with all this fancy shit." She giggles and looks around the store.
I turn around to face her, only to see a wide smile spread across her face.

"Cinderella!!! That's who you'll be." She says excitedly.
Before I can even respond Susan pulls me by my hand and takes me to the front desk.
"Excuse me miss, you wouldn't happen to have any Cinderella type dresses, would you?" Susan asks one of the employees.
The lady smiles sweetly showing her perfect white teeth. "Actually yes, we have some blue dresses that would work. Follow me!" the young lady says before leading us to the dresses. "Right here, this is where most of our blue dresses are held. Just let me know when you'd like to try one on." The lady says before leaving us alone.

"Wow... These dresses are beautiful." I say in amazement as I run my hand against the soft fabric of one of them.

I turn around to see Susan is already holding some dresses in her hand.
"Here Sunshine, try these on, one of them HAS to work." She says as she signals to the lady with the perfect teeth that we're ready.  We reach the dressing rooms and Susan immediately hands me the dresses and shoves me into one of the rooms. I quietly sigh and take off my clothes to try on the blue dresses. A couple minutes later I'm down to the last 3 dresses. "What about this one?" I ask Susan as I step out of the dressing room. Getting nervous as she sits there and stares at me, with an expression that's hard to read. I clear my throat and she snaps out of her own little world and smiles brightly at me. "It...is...BEAUTIFUL!!! you have to get this dress. It screams Cinderella!" She jumps up and down while I giggle at her. "Alright...alright, I'll get it"

After what felt like an hour we had finally bought all the things we needed for this fancy costume.
"You only have an hour to get ready. Got it princess?" Susan said as we pulled up to my house. I nod my head and quickly get out of the car and grab my things. Susan follows behind me as we make our way up to my room. I take my dress out of the nice bag and carefully put it on, along with my shoes. Once I finish my makeup and hair me and Susan walk out of the house and go to her car.
"It's amazing how much you look like cinderella right now" she giggles "are you nervous for the dance? Aren't you going with that Godfrey kid? She asks as she pulls out of the driveway and starts driving to the Halloween dance.
"No.... I decided that I didn't want to go with him" I say in an unhappy tone. "I convinced Peter come come with me. So I guess he's my dance partner" I giggle and look at Susan as she nods her head.

20 minutes later Susan pulls into the parking lot and parks her car fairly close to the school building. "Alright princess let's go" I open the car door and make my way inside. As we walk in Susan's date takes her to dance and I'm left alone. I walk over to the drinks and find Peter and shelly talking. "Peter, shelly! Man am I glad to see you guys here." I laugh and walk up to them.
"Wow... you look amazing scar, are you supposed to be Cinderella?" Peter questions and he stares at me in amazement. "Yeah... I tried to look like her." I laugh and fix my dress.
"Thank you shelly that means a lot. You look beautiful too!" I smile as shelly's cheeks turn a bright blue color. I didn't quite yet know shelly but she seemed to be a close friend of Peter's

As we continue to talk I get a weird feeling, when all of a sudden I feel a hand rest on my bare shoulder. Quickly tuning around I see Roman staring down at me in his tuxedo. "H-hi" I say shyly as he smirks at me.
As he smirks at me me stomach turns and I can feel my cheeks burn.
"You look beautiful scarlett" Roman says as his hand travels down my arm. Goosebumps creep onto my skin as he touches my arm making me close my eyes. But before he can say anything else I back away from him and move to Peter. "Thank you Roman, you look handsome too." I wrap my arm around peters arm and look at Roman.

"Now if you don't mind I'm gonna go dance with peter" as I walk away I swear I can feel Romans anger as he stares me down. I quickly shake it off and walk to the dance floor with Peter with my arm around his. Peter wraps his arms around my waist while my arms are around his neck. "So, you wanna tell me what that was back there?" Peter ask with the look of curiosity creeping onto his face.
"N-Nothing... what do you mean?" I say as I bite down on my lip.
"You like him don't you? You can tell me anything, you know that right? You're my friend." Peter chuckled at me as my cheeks turn red from embarrassment.

"No" I laugh nervously, "I like him as a friend sure, but nothing more than that." I smile and remove my hands from his neck.
"Lets get some punch" I say as we exit the dance area and go to where the drinks are. On our way there I noticed Roman staring at his cousin and if I didn't know any better I would say he was about to explode with anger. Before I got the chance to look away Roman saw me and gave me a death glare, disappearing out of my sight, I felt my stomach twist. Fear filled my body, trying to shake it off Peter comes up behind me and taps my shoulder. "Here's your drink" Peter smiles and I take the drink. "Thank you good sir" I bow and laugh.

A few minutes later had passed and Peter had left, he said that his mom needed help with something important. I sat down on a chair and watched as people where dancing with each other, Some people trying to be sneaky with the alcohol they snuck in, people kissing each other and getting a little too touchy. Getting pulled out of my thoughts by someone grabbing my hand and pulling me up from my chair. I quickly look up and see Roman looking at me. "Come with me" he said sternly "what the hell Roman, you can't just grab my hand like that. You nearly gave my a heart attack."  Roman just chuckled at my comment and continued to pull me to the dance area.

"That's the second time I've almost killed you apparently." He smirked and wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me close to his body. "R-Roman..." and before I could continue speaking we were dancing to the music. "I figured we should dance before this party ends" as he spoke I looked at him curiously and spoke.
"Oh... well we have like two hours left until it ends. We could have danced-"

I was cut off by a girl screaming about a snake. I looked at Roman and he smirked while taking me by my hand and rushing me out of the school and into his car.
"What the hell was that?!? Roman did you do that?"
Roman didn't answer, instead he smirked and quickly drove off.
We drove in a comfortable silence going who knows where, i started to get tired as he drove. I pulled my arm up to the window, placing my elbow down and holding my head up with my hand. As my eyes started to flutter and i was being engulfed by sleep, the car came to quick stop. The seatbelt held me back from hitting my head on the dashboard but that wasn't the only thing. As i looked over to roman he had is arm out in front of me.

"Are you okay" Roman asked with a concerned voice.
"Yeah...yeah I'll be fine" i broke away from his stare and turned to the window, only to see an old man on the street. "R-roman, please tell me you did not hit him"
Roman rolled his eyes and looked at the man. "No. Stay in the car" he said while he opened the car door.

Being the nosey person i am i get out of the car and go to the older guy. "A-are you okay sir, I'm so sorry we-?" I was cut off when the guy looked up at me and tightly grabbed my wrist. "I couldn't quite make out everything he said but a few words, Something about The Order of The Dragon.
Roman rushed over to me and guided me back to the car, he sped off and left the man behind.

"The Order of The Dragon" was what occupied my mind that night... What could that have possibly meant.
