Noah didn't dance, at least not until his brother Dave invited him to a big dance at school. "Come on, bro! I want to dance with Sky, but don't want to go by myself!" he begged.

"Fine, only for you. I can just sit around and read or something." Noah knew the party would just be teens partying and dancing, and honestly it sounded boring.

"Yay! What if I ask Sky to set you up on a date? She has loads of friends, I'm sure one of them can dance with you!" Dave said happily.

"Whatever, Dave." Noah just stalked off to his room, and read a book. He couldn't believe he was doing this for his brother.

The party had been coming up that Friday, and Dave was waiting for Noah when he got home. He pulled him into the house, saying, "Let's get you ready!"

Moments later, Noah was dressed in a tan shirt, black dress pants, and tan dress shoes. Dave told him he looked great, but all Noah said was, "Whatever."

Dave was driving them to the dance, and the brothers showed up and joined the crowd of students waiting for the dance to start. They had to yell to hear each other's voices, but it got quieter once they were inside. There were flashing lights everywhere, music playing, and that was exactly why Noah hadn't wanted to come. It wasn't his type of place.

"Wait here, Noah. I'll get Sky." Dave said, and came back seconds later with Sky following him. Sky was dressed in a yellow dress with a purple stripe at the waist, and a purple pearl necklace.

"Hi, Noah. Dave told me he wants me to set you up with one of my friends?" Sky asked him. Noah playfully punched his brother's arm, but nodded at Sky.

"Follow me, then! I have one friend you may like." Sky led Noah and Dave through the crowds of people dancing, and eventually they saw a pale-skinned girl with pale blond hair and pale blue eyes standing alone. "This is my friend, Dawn!"

"Hi, Sky, Dave, Noah." Dawn smiled when she saw them, and gave a small wave. "Who're your friends?"

Sky pointed to each of the boys. "Dave, his brother Noah."

Dawn laughed. "I knew that, I was messing with you."

"Okay then. Dawn, will you do me a favor and dance with Noah? He doesn't have a date."

"Well, sure!"

Dave and Sky went off to dance, and Noah got a better look at Dawn. She was wearing a pale purple dress, which ended just about where her skirts did every day at school. Her hair was put up on top of her head, and she had put on a hint of makeup. "Hi, Dawn."

"So, are we going to dance?" Dawn said, straight to the point. "We can hurry before it's too crowded."

"Nah, I didn't even want to come. I only came for my brother. And now, it looks like he's fine without me." Noah pointed to where Sky and Dave were dancing. "So, I may just stay here."

"Okay, I will too. I knew you weren't much of a dancer, anyway." Dawn leaned back against a table, like what she had just said wasn't weirdly true.

"How? I never said that."

"I can see people's auras. I know everyone's secrets, I know everything about them basically. For instance, you act cynical but really don't think that way." Dawn smiled at Noah, trying to keep from laughing at his shocked expression.

"Okay then." Noah looked on at the crowds, minding his own business.

"So, are we just gonna stand here? We can maybe sit outside or take a walk, it's not like anyone'll notice." Dawn continued to impress Noah. She knew it, too. "I know you've always wanted to do that."

"Yeah, I guess I've always wanted to."

"Well, let's go then!" Dawn grabbed Noah's arm, pulling him outside. It was warm out, so they hadn't brought any jackets with them. They walked around for a while, Dawn pointing out things like fireflies or bird's nests. It was actually really fun, since she knew just what to talk about and just what he liked.

When they got back to the school, it was just as crowded and loud as they remembered. Dawn knew how much Noah hated parties like that, and asked him, "Should we just sit outside?"

"Sure." Noah was actually starting to warm up to Dawn, she wasn't as strange as he thought. She was actually sweet and kind. "If you want to."

Dawn laughed, blushing the tiniest bit. She showed him where a bench was, and they sat down. It was a peaceful night, and Noah just sat back and relaxed.

"This is really nice, Dawn."

"I know, it's so pretty out at night."

They sat in silence a few minutes longer, then finally Sky and Dave appeared out of nowhere. "We didn't see you dancing, where were you?"

"Hi Sky. Noah and I were just sitting outside."

"So you were out all night?"

"Yeah, we went on a walk."

"Well, Sky's ready to go home. I'm driving her home, so let's go."

"Okay, Dave." Noah tirned to Dawn. "Bye."

"Bye, Noah." Dawn waved, and quickly kissed his cheek. "I'll see you some other time."

As Dave drove home, Noah thought about Dawn. "I definitely won't forget her."
