"This is it. This is grad night." Derek thought to himself as he splashed water on his face in the bathroom at school.
He exited out of the bathroom and went around the corner to the gym. He walked through doors as he focused in on Casey. She had never looked this good. She was absolutely stunning.
Derek was too breathless to even say anything.
"Hey Derek! You look so amazing tonight." She said in an elegant yet calm voice.
Derek was still in total shock of how beautiful she was. That purple dress. That curled hair. Those shining pearls. And my god, that gorgeous smile of hers. Derek finally managed to get a word or two out.
"Thanks. Y-You look...Breathtaking." He said with a smirk.
Casey blushed a little as she gazed into Derek's eyes.
"You, uh, wanna dance, or somethin'?" Derek said nervously.
"Of course." Casey said with a smile.
Derek placed his hands on Casey's hips as she put her hands on his shoulders. Derek smiled at Casey, as they both shared a little laugh.
"I'm not too good at dancing." Derek whispered.
"Me either." Casey whispered back.
They both shared a silent laugh and continued to sway back and forth. Everything was so right. Everything was so perfect. Casey looked up into Derek's eyes just as Derek looked down into Casey's eyes. Absolutely nothing in the world could separate the bond they were having at this very moment.
Derek slowly leaned in towards Casey, pulling her closer to him as he did so. It seemed that she had the same idea Derek did. She slowly closed her eyes just as Derek did. Their lips, so close…
And then he woke up. He sighed deeply to himself as he got dressed, slipped on his signature blue headphones as he headed out the door.
