Christian
I got dressed and dad was so impressed with how I looked.
-"my boy dressing up nicely. This is about a girl because you never go to these dances"
He laughed and I stood there awkwardly.
-"go impress her, son!" He said and I left.
I arrived at Jessica's house.
The car was outside.
Sam and Charley were talking.
-hey, guys" I waved.
-"Christian, you made it!" Sam said.
-"Should I wait here, or should I knock to let her know that I'm here?"
-"wait here. It would be better as a surprise to not let her know you're here" Sam said and I followed his advice.
Jessica and Crown came out the door.
-"I can't believe he's not here-" she saw me and stopped talking.
Jessica really looked like a fairy, the dress, her makeup.
She and Crown looked great.
-"you look great," I told Jessica
-"it's nice to see you, not wearing hoodies or jackets," she said and I shook my head.
-"those are my specialty" I bragged.
-"ok guys, we need to get going!" Crown clapped and we entered the car.
I sat next to Jessica and she looked so great.
Lillie
The dance started. Everyone looked so happy, with their couples, and friends.
I rolled my eyes as I sat in the bleachers.
When did I become the odd one out? I was once popular!
I saw Dominick and Nicole enter the dance.
Just what I needed.
They're matching, They're matching!
They think they're the cutest couple at school.
They love to make me sick.
Christian
We entered the school and went to the gym. The dance looked great.
Jodi saw me and ran to me.
-"there you are. We need to get backstage, for our debut!" They said and I nodded.
We rushed backstage and Florine was already there.
-"he's here!" She said and I waved.
-"we're on in five minutes," Jodi said grabbing the guitar.
We will be dripping in high school fame after this.
The senior year, class president went to the stage and presented us.
We entered the stage and went to the spots we planned.
Jodi started strumming the guitar and Florine started singing.
I made the beat a while after that.
We sounded so good. People were liking it.
We went so hard on the chorus.
Thinking about it just made me laugh.
Jodi sang the second verse and then Florine sang the rest of the song.
We finished the song and everyone cheered.
-"Yesss, louder!" Jodi screamed and everyone cheered louder.
I saw Jessica in the crowd and I pointed at her.
We sang the rest of our set, and I was so tired when we finished.
I reunited with Jessica and she clapped as I walked to her.
-"What a superstar!" She smiled.
-"I feel the energy in my bones" I rubbed my arms and she laughed.
-"want to dance?" I asked.
-"let me go to the bathroom first, then I'll dance with you as long as I want"
She left and I waited for her.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
Jodi texted me. What do they want?
Jodi: meet me backstage, I have to show you something
Jessica is still in the bathroom, I'll go check what Jodi has to show me.
I went backstage and it was dark and empty.
-"Jodi?" I called and I heard no response.
I don't have time for Jodi to prank me. I have to get back to Jessica.
-"don't leave yet," a voice said.
It didn't sound like Jodi, it was deeper.
Someone came out of the shadows, it was Mr. Blackburn.
-"finally meeting you" he smiled and I started to back away.
-"don't be scared. I just wanted to meet you. We didn't meet the other day when we arranged it, and seeing you in school made it easier"
He walked towards me.
-"I didn't meet you for a reason. It's best if you stay away" I said and he shook his head.
-"I don't want that. Have you told people about me? Because I found a girl snooping in my classroom. I scared her enough, you can't hide from me anymore"
He grabbed my wrist and I pushed him.
Lillie
I couldn't handle doing anything at the dance, I felt so embarrassed.
I was backstage crying, it was dark and nobody could see me.
I heard someone talking.
I don't want people to find me here.
That voice sounded familiar. He talked again and I figured it out.
It was Mr. Blackburn.
Is he harassing someone else?
I grabbed a pole that was on the ground and I followed his voice.
I finally found him.
He was pushed by Christian.
He pushed back which made Christian fall.
I ran towards Mr. Blackburn with a scream and I hit him with the pole.
-"ahhh" he yelled in pain and fell.
I hit him a couple more times and he left running. The look on his face was terrifying, he was so angry.
-"Lillie!" He said surprised.
-"are you ok?" I asked, helping him up.
-"Thanks for helping me," he said breathing heavily.
-"ok, calm down. It's over" I rubbed his shoulders and he nodded.
-"you should go back to the dance, it's crowded in there, he won't bother you," I said and he nodded.
-"what are you going to do?" He asked me and I shrugged.
-"I'm going home, this dance is so boring" I smiled and he understood.
He's a nice guy, doesn't deserve to be harassed by such a freak.
Christian Left and I stood there.
Christian
I returned to the dance floor and Jessica was looking for me.
-"where were you?" She asked me.
-"let's dance" I grabbed her hand and we started dancing.
-"are you ok? you seem pretty tense"
She asked concerned.
-"Mr. Blackburn harassed me backstage. If it wasn't for Lillie I don't know what would've happened"
Jessica looked at Lillie who was leaving she gave us a small smile.
-"she saved you?" She asked
-"hit him with a pole, various times" I nodded and she was shocked.
-"wow," she said.
-"This dance has been--" she talked but I interrupted her with a kiss. She was just as surprised as I was.
I pulled away and she couldn't even form a sentence.
-"I...wow," she said.
And we kissed again.
We slow danced kissing making this a memorable moment for the two of us.
