Fast Forward to Friday evening

I was at Sarah's house and we were getting ready. Danny had to sit in the living room and wait on us because he was already done. Right now Sarah was putting my hair up. Once she was finished she did my make up and the other way around. Once I was finished with her hair and make up we walked down the stairs and into the living room. Sarah had found a date with Tommy. Tommy didn't play any sports but he was really smart and sweet. Danny stood up and him and Sarah hugged their mom as I stood there awkwardly. After they said there goodbyes we were on our way to the school for the dance. Once we got there Sarah left to go find Tommy. We offered to go with her but she declined. I bought their outfits as I said I would and I have to admit, Sarah looked good in the dress that I picked out.

Flashback to the store

"I can't find a dress I like." Sarah said.

I sighed and climbed to my feet "Sit down and I'll see what I can do."

The worker heard me and came over to us. Once she reached us she looked me up and down. She tried to hold back a laugh but failed.

"You find a dress for her? Very unlikely. Leave it to a pro like me. I actually have taste in fashion." She said as she began to look through the dresses.

She grabbed a few dresses and had Sarah try them on. None of them looked good so I snuck off and did some searching of my own. I looked through one rack after another until one dress stood out from the rest. I took it off the rack and took it over to Sarah who was standing behind the lady. The lady didn't even notice that I had walked back up so I handed the dress to Sarah for her to try on. She nodded and went into the dressing room and changed. She came out with a huge smile on her face.

"OMG this dress is perfect." She said.

The dress was white with a pink bow right below the breasts. It was on the short side but with Sarah's height it was a perfect fit.

The lady turned around "Yes that dress is perfect for you."

She then turned to me "Now to find you something."

I shook my head "I don't need your help."

"Oh yes you do." She said.

I pointed in Sarah's direction "So the dress she is wearing is fashionable?" I asked.

She nodded her head "Of course, which you know nothing of." She said.

I looked at her as Sarah came up to us "Ummm I don't mean to sound rude but she is the one that found this dress for me." Sarah said.

The lady looked like she was about to faint from shock. I just stifled a laugh and walked off to find my dress. I found the perfect one and went and tried it on. It was pink and layered at the bottom while outlined in black. I paid for our things and we went off to get Danny a suit.

End of flashback

We began to walk inside. Danny gave them our tickets and we walked into the gym. There was a slow song playing and everyone was dancing. Danny and I went and sat down to wait for Sarah and Tommy. Three songs later and Sarah and Tommy came in. They looked around the room for us. Once they found us they walked over and sat down. Another slow song began to play and Tommy asked Sarah to dance. She nodded and they went to the dance floor.

Danny looked at me "You wanna dance?"

I shrugged "Its up to you."

He stood up and held out his hand. I placed my hand in his and got up. We walked over to the dance floor and began to dance. Most of the dance was like this. I looked at the time on my phone. We still had a few minuets over half way to go. All of a sudden the music stopped and everyone looked at the stage where the principle stood.

"This year I have to admit that I am a little surprised with the results. This year your king is Danny Midnyght!" He said.

I looked over at Danny in shock as he stood up and walked to the stage. He walked up the stairs and over to him. When he stopped some kid walked onto the stage with Danny's crown. Mr. King put the crown on Danny's head and walked back up to the mic.

"Ok and now the moment you have been waiting for! Your queen of the dance is... Brittany Conroy!" He said as Brittany walked up on stage to accept her crown.

The same kid came back on stage with a new crown. Mr. King placed that crown on Brittany's head.

"Did you come with each other?" He asked.

They shook their heads no.

"Well then, would their dates please make their way to the stage?" He asked.

I got up from my seat and made my way towards the stage as did James. Once we got up to the stage Mr. King walked over to us.

"What are your names?" He asked.

"I'm James Wolfe." James said.

He then looked at me "I'm Jade Davenport." I said and the crowed gasped as two more crowns were brought onto the stage.

The two crowns were smaller than the King and Queen crown.

Mr. King placed the prince's crown on James' head and the princess crown on mine.

"Behold your dance court." Mr. King said.

Everyone clapped as the traditional queen and king song started. Danny held his hand out for Brittany to take. She took his hand and they walked to the middle of the floor. James and I had to stand and watch until it was our turn to dance. Once the song had ended the next one started and James held his hand out for me to take. I hesitated but took his hand. I felt a pleasant tingles run up my arm from where his hand was. We began walking down to the middle of the floor. He swung me around to face him as we began to dance. Everywhere that he touched me sent tingles running through my body. I saw his eyes grow darker as we danced. Soon the song was over and we broke apart. The kids were split to lead us to where Brittany and Danny was sitting. Danny had to stay with Brittany for the rest of the night so that meant that I had to stay with James. Another slow song came on and Danny and Brittany got up to dance because they have to every time. James stuck his hand out for me to take but I just shook my head.

"Look I don't wanna dance with you either, but we have to." He said.

I groaned "Fine." I said as I took his hand.

He helped me up and we went to the dance floor and began to dance. After the song another slow song played so we had to dance again. Then another, and another and then I recognized who the DJ was. It was Austin.
