Golden

Chapter 18

Bella's POV

A week had passed and here I was, getting ready for the dance. I had a whole check list of things I needed to do. The guys convinced me that I had to look nice and deserved to treat myself, considering it was my first dance.

They insisted that I had to do hair, makeup, jewelry, nails, and a bunch of other stupid stuff. Right now, Niall was teaching me how to use the curling iron and the straightener.

"Niall, is all this really nessecary? This is a homecoming dance, not prom", I told him. "Yes, but you were nominated to be the homecoming queen. People still have time to vote when they go to the dance", he said. I groaned.

"But I don't care if I'm homecoming queen", I said. "Bella, you want to look nice for Asher right?" Niall asked me. Well, he got me there."Aha, I knew it. You really like him, don't you?" I blushed hard.

"Okay, what I'm about to tell you, you can't tell anyone. Especially Harry and Louis", He nodded his head. So, I told him about the evening just after the fight, at the swimming pool.

I told Niall about how we had told each other about our feelings. I also told him that I didn't know what was going on between us. Quite frankly, things had been weird between us. I'm pretty sure Max, Zach, Tyler, and Noah have figured out that something was going on between us.

"Bella, you should just follow your heart, and then you'll know where to go fro there. As you get older, you get wiser. Take some time, catch the red flags. Who knows, it could or could not work out", Niall said.

As I was doing my make up, Niall and I continued to talk about everything, from school to Asher. "Okay, I'm going to go put my dress on", I said. Niall nodded his head, jumping around with excitement.

"QUIT JUMPING NIALL", Liam yelled. "Niall stopped jumping, but helped me carry the dress into the bathroom.
When I got the dress on, I saw that Niall had went downstairs. Going downstairs, I saw Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis standing there.

They had their phones in their hands, smiling. "Bella, you look beautiful", Harry came and kissed me on the forehead. After what seemed like millions of photos, we piled into the car.

"Okay Bella, make sure you text and update us. Remember the rules we talked about", Liam and Harry were explaining. "Okay, I know, now can I go?" I asked impatiently. Harry rolled his eyes. "Yes you can go. Bye, love you", he said. "Love you too", I walked into the gym.

There were teenagers dancing, some were standing in groups, talking. Teachers were supervising. I saw my friends and I walked over to them. "Hey guys, what's up?" Their attention came to me. "Bella, you look gorgeous", Max complimented me.

I saw Asher and immediatly blushed. His suit was perfect, his hair was perfect. Okay let's face it, he was perfect. As Max, Noah, Tyler, and Zach went to the snack table, Asher walked closer to me.

"Max was right. You do look stunning tonight", Asher complimented me, and I giggled. "Thank you, and may I say you look handsome in the suit". "I knew what game Asher was playing, so I decided to fight fire with fire. "Oh, just handsome? As I recall, you were shamelessly checking me out earlier", Asher smirked.

A slow song started to play. "C'mon Asher, let's go dance", I dragged him on the dance floor. He tried to catch up with me, seeing as how he didn't want to be on the gym floor.

As we started to slow dance, I couldn't stop staring into his eyes. He couldn't stop staring into my eyes. "Bella, I know we just admitted that we liked each other only a couple of weeks ago, but would you be my girlfriend?" I smiled and gave him a big hug. "Of course!" I exclaimed.

I pulled him in, gentley kissing him. As we pulled apart, I couldn't help but look into his eyes again. His beautiful brown eyes. I could've sworn this was the best night of my life.
