That one dance

That one dance part 1

Espelanna was just 12 when she had her first crush. She liked this boy who had blond hair and blue eyes with a smile so bright it would blind you. She really liked him and she told her best friend about it. This was the worst mistake of her life.

As she reached her 15th birthday, she began to wonder if she should tell her crush about how she felt but she didn't have the strength to, since they were really close friends. But what she didn't realise was that he had an idea of what the situation was. Espelanna's best friend had told him weeks ago. Espelanna specifically told her best friend to keep that secret and to never tell anyone, but I guess she never understood what Espelanna meant by that.

The school dance was coming nearer and nearer and everyone had to bring a date, so Espelanna wanted to ask her crush if he wanted to go with her. She was very shy and nervous around him but tried to build up the courage. By the time she did that, the dance was on the same night. Espelanna had to make her mind up before it was too late, but just couldn't shake off her feelings. She knew that all she could do...was try.

The night came by and Espelanna was picking out what to wear so that she could grab her crushes attention, so she picked out a lilac netted dress with a strap around it and a flower with a pair of lilac heels. Her hair was curled and put in ponytails, tied up with lilac flower hair bobbles. She put on some pink lip-gloss and pink eye shadow. The dance started at 8 and it was already 7:30 so Espelanna rushed around, ensuring that she had everything she needed like her purse and her extra make-up. 

When she arrived, she saw her best friend with her arch-nemesis and was very shocked but didn't want to say anything. The three of them went into the hall and danced for a while. Espelanna kept looking over her shoulder to see when her crush would turn up, because he said he would be coming. The clock turned 8:25 but there was still no sign of Espelanna's crush. She was very disappointed and ran off towards the toilets but to her surprise, she bumped into someone and that someone was...her crush.

Espelanna fell to the ground and tried to get back up. Suddenly, a hand went infront of her face. As she looked up, she instantly recognised him. Espelanna grabbed his hand and got up. 'You look beautiful tonight' he said. 'Thanks...you look nice...too...' Espelanna replied, chuckling sheepishly. 'How come you never came here earlier, I asked you to the dance but you put the phone down. Look I know about your feelings and I want to make an effort towards it. So...what do you say?' Espelanna's crush asked. 'Yes, okay I'll give it a go!' said Epelanna, hugging her crush.
