Magic

Chapter 12

Magdalyn 'magic' James

the night of the dance Takeoff showed up on time like i asked him to, and he looked really nice. my dress was black and it went all the way down to the floor and even had a little bit of a train. it was perfect and it went perfect with the old hollywood theme of the dance. When i tried it on in the store it fit like a glove, like it was made just for me, i took that as i sign and bought that dress and didnt even try anything else on. he was wearing a classic black and white tux with gold accents

"you look nice," was all that he said when he saw me.

"you do too," i replied.

Jam finally found her dress and she looked amazing in it. she was trying on all these long dresses but found her fit in this short red dress with black detailing on it. it was cute on her.

takeoff rented and old car for us to ride to the dance in. the way they were going all out you would think that this was actually a prom. he acted like a perfect gentleman the entire time too. opening doors and holding the back of my dress up so that no one would step on it and it wouldnt get dirty dragging on the ground.

"Hey," i said into his ear so that he could hear me over the music.

"What?"

"who is that girl over there that keeps looking at me like she's crazy." i asked him.

there was some light skinned girl with short hair that had been staring at us since we walked in. well, everyone was staring but she was taking it to another level. if looks could kill i would be dead and so would he. She looked super angry at me and i dont even know who the girl is.

"That's trina, she wanted to go with me and i had already asked you." he said.

"So she's like your little girlfriend?" i asked.

"no, not even close." he said.

"Why didnt you go with her....she's pretty." i said to her.

"look," he straightened his coat. the music slowed and it was easier to hear him now. "im the hottest nigga in here, and i gotta have the hottest date. she been around the block too many times to be it."

"so im the shiney new toy." i asked.

a familiar song started to play through through the speakers. Fortune by Maxwell filled the room and he stood up from the chair he was in. He held his hand out to me and i grabbed it. he took me to the middle of the floor and it was like everyone moved out of the way to let us walk through. we started to dance and everyone stood around staring at us like the scene from cinderella or something.

i could feel everyone staring at us, and i hate it. i dont like being stared at and i was about to tell him something but when i looked up at him he was staring right at me. in that moment it was like everyone disappeared and their staring didnt matter anymore. it was just him and me and im not gonna lie it kind of scared me.

"are there any other girls here that wanted to come with you?" i asked him.

"Every girl here probably wanted to be my date." he replied honestly.

"great....i hope they dont jump me in the bathroom or something." i replied.

"if they do just call or me. i'll come help." he replied. i dont know if he wa joking or not but the way that he said it kind of made me worried that they would actually do that.

"so you never answered my question," i said to him.

"you arent a shiney new toy," he said. "i'm just looking to change thing up. the type of girls i usually date arent the best so i asked you."
