my little secret

La danse In 5-4-3-2-1

It's an half-hour until the dance (la danse in French) and I'm Freaking out. My make-up is done and so are my nails. The ring fingers on my hands have red roses on them the rest are black. now I have to put my dress on. This will be a challenge. Fortunately, 10 minutes later, I manage to slip into it easily. Now I have 8-10 minutes to do my hair. I decide on Doing a thick side braid. Like I used to when I was little. with my bangs swept to the side. I love my bangs I've always had them, mostly because that's how I see myself each morning and it's comforting.

As soon as I hear that doorbell ring rush to the door still trying to put on my heels. Once I straighten myself back out I open the door to find a very good looking lee standing Infront of me. he walks me to the limo he rented to take us to the dance. Once we got to the school I thanked fabion, the driver.

It's time to go into the gym. I go in there every day but now It's different because I'm with him. Lee, the boy I met so long ago. we start dancing and I lean my head on his shoulder. it was magical! I can't believe I haven't thought about him till now.

Now it's time hear the homecoming speech about happiness and then they crown a couple king and queen.

"And now it's time to name the homecoming king and queen!!"

The announcer known as Erica says.

"Drum roll please........ And the king is

LEE REED!!!" The spotlight rushes to get on him and everyone starts to clap and cheer for him. he leaves me behind to go get the crown. he looks at me from the stage with a longing look in his eye.

"And the queen of the dance is..."

She gasps "Nicole Dunham?" she said in question. the spotlight gets on me and I have saucer like eyes and my mouth is ajar. it surprises everyone.

"It-it's Nicole Dunham!! congratulations!! come on up to the stage!" I walk up hesitantly. when I get there I see lee with a mile wide grin on his face. "oh shush!" I whisper yell. And I start blushing crazily.

He's watching me with a lazy grin.

I blush some more. He pulls me into his chest and we dance to a special song from the.... oh. my. god. it's the song that played when we met so long ago! he... he remembered.

"Y-you remembered?" I say wearily

"Wait you remember me!?" he exclaimed pulling away at the end of our song.

"Of course I did. I met you when I was 13 lost in a century that wasn't mine." I say my voice so weak I'm not sure if he can here me.

"Do you want to leave now? I mean the dance will be over in about 5 minutes"

"We have to stay for pictures."

"So why don't we take them now?"

"Okay then Leland." I pause smiling at his full name "lets go get our picture taken"
