~Emma's Point of View~

I glanced around the table, trying to figure out everyone's hand. Everyone had a great poker face. Except Riley. He was grinning like a child.

"Alright, either you have a great hand, or you just pissed your pants," River said to Riley's face. Riley frowned.

It was about two o'clock p.m. and it was the night of the dance. We were playing poker in the boy's dorm to relax. We all laid down our cards.

"Royal Flush, bitches," smirked Trinity. We all gaped at her. This was very uncharacteristic of her to say, but she became a little evil when it came to poker.

"Dang it!" pouted Riley loudly, as he pounded the table. We all laughed at him. Merick scooped in everyone's cards and became shuffling cooly. He then dealt and we all picked up our cards. I gasped at mine.

"Attend the dance with me? - Merick" read one of the cards. It was written on with sharpie. I stared at him. How did he do that?? He gave me a grin. Everyone stared at me like I was a lunatic. I closed my mouth and tried to go back to normal, a slight brush creeping across my face. I looked up and nodded towards Merick. He smiled.

After ten more rounds, we each headed back to our dorms to get ready. Girls in the hallway were hustling about in and out of rooms, asking to borrow make up from one another and what not. Trinity sat me down at her desk and started attacking my face. I was surprised how long she took and I got bored eventually, but she insisted I had to look "perfect." She then put a mirror in front of me. I widened my eyes.

I had to admit, I looked good. My hazel eyes seemed to pop and my skin glowed. Trinity had put my hair up into a fancy ponytail. She then glided towards my wardrobe and pulled out my dress. It was a strapless poofy black gown with a black rose head attached to the upper left of my chest. It sparkled and made my eyes twinkle. I slipped on my black heels and Trinity began to paint my nails with a shiny clear coat. I then put on my gold heart locket that my mom gave me. I had it ever since I could remember.

We now had an hour before the dance started. I helped Trinity get ready. She wore an emerald gown that looked very mermaid-ish. We both jumped as we heard a knock at our door. Trinity squeled then ran to open the door, almost tripping over her dress. It was the boys. My mouth dropped when I saw them.

Riley wore a black suit with red underneath. The first three buttons were opened and his black tie was very loose. River wore a very dark blue suit with green underneath. It suited him perfectly. Merick wore a black suit with midnight blue underneath. His eyes glowed and his black hair looked great. I couldn't stop gawking at him. Riley let out his arm to Trinity. Trinity gaped and her face turned red, then took it, then Merick let out his for me. River stepped inside our room and looked around then stepped outside.

"What were you looking for?" I asked. He looked out into the hallway and grinned. We all stared as Ava came walking towards us from down the hall. She looked embarrased to be wearing a dress. Her hair was down and it was wavy. The dress she wore was dark blue and it looked really nice on her. She gave us all a look that said "say anything and you die." River extended her arm out to her and she took it. When did this happen?!?!

The six of us made our way outside to the courtyard. I gasped at the beauty. Petals were dancing around everywhere. The trees looked fair as they seemed to shine in the moonlight. You could hear the fountain splashing and everyone chattering in suspence. Then we all looked towards the door as all the teachers came out. My Creatures teacher, Mr. Harkins, held the arm of Miss. Alter, my Health and Healing teacher. I smiled because they both looked so attractive.
