Her silver sequined dress shined beautifully under the lights of the gym room that held the dance. Saying that she looked gorgeous was an understatement, everything about her seemed perfect to him. That was only at the glimpse of her. When her eyes met his, he could not help but break into a genuine smile.

Meanwhile, she was full of nerves. The rambling of her bestfriend besides her did not help much when they walked into the dance. Looking around the room and at her bestfriend, she knew that she would be there for her if this turned out to be a disaster.

Seeing that Brianna was nervous through her fidgeting, Madeline stopped halfway through her story. She grabbed her friends hands and smiled widely. "You look gorgeous. It will all go great. Trust me. The chemistry between you two is undeniable." A soft warmness spread across her friend's cheeks as she spoke but smiled widely in return.

"Woah." The two girls turned around to find their baseball player friend looking at them. "I am one lucky guy to have one be my girlfriend and the other to be my best friend."

Now it wasn't only Brianna blushing, Madeline was too. "Oh shut up. Flattery gets you nowhere, Atkins." Brianna nudged the white suit that he had on, which complimented his blue eyes perfectly.

"Would it get me a dance with this lovely lady?" A smirk covered his face as his hand was held out to Maddy. She took it without hesitation but not long before turning to her best friend mouthing, 'you got this'.

Then it came down to one. Brianna felt nervous, thinking about all of the possible negative outcomes of the dance. What if he didn't even come? Or what if he realized he doesn't like me? She felt like just going back home and apologize for even going in the first place.
That was until she saw him. At the doors of the gym, there stood the blue eyed boy in a black suit. A smile made a way on both of their faces when they walked up to each other. His eyes widened a bit making her blush ferociously. His lips parted for a bit to say something but he came out speechless.

"You look-gorgeous does not even begin cut it." Justin's insides felt flipped inside out when he saw her there. It had taken him one whole semester to accomplish it, but he finally had her. Only for a night, unless he had proved himself.

Brianna looked down at the floor as her cheeks continued to flush pink if it could be any pinker. "Thank you. You look great too." Of course, that was putting it lightly. He looked incredibly attractive everyday but with that black suit something had changed.

A short silence fell between them before Justin spoke up. "Uh, do you want to dance?" The nerves were evident in his voice, and somehow it made Brianna more confident. "I would love to."

Together, they made it to the dance floor. The songs were not the slow dance kind of songs, but the people all around them danced nonetheless. Justin began to move to the beat before creating a whole new move on the spot. Brianna giggled at his dance,"Wow. And I thought Maddy was a great dancer."

"I told you guys you were missing out on something." Justin shrugged before grabbing her hands in his and tried to get her to move along with him.

A few minutes later and the two of them had just let go and danced freely with one another. Jeff and Maddy had been with them for a short amount of time before they left to the tables. Then came the other boys.

"Oohh yeah! Foley, get some!" Bryce yelled loudly from five feet away. All of the boys that accompanied him hollered and cheered their friend on.
