Summary: Here comes the ball! As Alice and everyone enjoys the dance, lights gone out! "This is your chance to kiss her!" The emcee exclaimed. Out of nowhere, in the darkness, soft lips pressed on hers. How will Alice finds out her kisser-admirer, the one that also stole her heart? A/B
Blue and white lights bouncing around the room along the sound of an upbeat song. In the middle of the bopping crowd, there stood a petite girl. She's smiling and her bright blue eyes shining authentic joy while she's dancing with her friends, the very popular group ever in highschool. Her short pixie dark hair soft looking and slightly tousling in every movements.
"She's so… gorgeous."
The way her hips moving and how that dress flitting when she spins or doing a side by side. She laughs with the blonde and her big brother, then she covers her mouth into fits of giggles comparable to the sounds of tinkling bells. They were moving towards the stage and greeting others. Look at those lips, so red and full, always smiling to display her perfect pearly white teeth.
"I wonder how many people she can turn into puddle…"
Someone laughed and they turned their head to that direction. Someone cursed and slapped the back of the head of a laughing guy, the guy who is popular for his charms and his hair-do sex hair. A strange wavy long haired brunette, the only one wearing informal clothes, leaving him with an annoyed scowl. Curious blue eyes followed her exited at the back of the stage.
The guy, Edward Masen, jogged up to the stage. He's the emcee for tonight, much to the disappointment of his admirers that he asked none for a partner. He whispered something to the DJ who nodded with a thumbs-up. The song changed, Counting Stars by One Republic in dubstep remix playing.
(Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars)"Woooo!"
Voices cheered. The crowd starts bobbing their head with the infectious deep low resonant sound. She grinned wider, red lips stretching across her heart shaped face. She too starts dancing again and laughing with the blonde Rosalie for her brother Emmett looks ridiculous in swaying his hips, attempting to imitate theirs.
This pixie, this beautiful girl standing out like Rosalie, her name is Alice Cullen.
"Lights out!"
Edward the emcee said on the microphone while standing in the middle of the stage. He has a crooked smile everyone saw before did the lights go out, completely. There were surprised gasps and cusses, questions of what's happening. But the song, it remains in the background. Everyone went still, eyes squinting and hands finding each other.
"Now now people. Don't be afraid- Hey! No touching anyone! I can see you from here!"
Edward's voice hushed them.
"Mike Newton I'm serious."
That did stop the guy and the others having the same foolish plans, ashamed that they might get caught and their names publicly announced.
"I just want to say something…"
He trailed off and chuckled. Alice frowned and keeps looking around, trying to find Rosalie and Emmett or even their cousins. Someone's hand gently grasping her wrist, causing her to pause. The hand slid down to hold her hand, sending tingles.
"Rose? Kate?"
Her small voice whispers. She's nervous that it must be a guy trying to grab on her. But the hand is smooth and soft. Her heart starts to thump fast and a silhouette of a taller body closing to her in few inches.
"Kiss her."
Edward spoke. The body in front of Alice jolted and took a step back, making her confused. There were 'huh-s?" and murmurings. Edward moan exasperatedly.
"This is your chance to kiss her!"
The emcee exclaimed. His tone desperate. Alice heard an audible gulp.
(Everything that kills me makes me feel alive)
"Excuse me? But who are –"
She didn't get to finish her question. Out of nowhere, in the darkness, soft lips pressed on hers.
Blue eyes widened in realization and her heartbeats rapidly increasing in speed. She's being kiss by someone, a stranger. The kiss is tender. How long? That she didn't comprehend as well. For her eyes had closed on their own, unaware to her. It feels long like minutes or hours or perhaps eternity. She don't know, it feels good. She inhaled through her nose and smelled the sweet fruity tropical cologne.
For few seconds, they were still. Alice can hear blood rushing in her head and feel the pleasant funny flips of her stomach. The stranger then move first, brushing and lightly taking the plump lower lips with a hesitant swipe of the tongue as if a first try to taste. This cause Alice to kiss back instantly and gripped on the hand holding hers.
Those lips pulled back a bit and pecked Alice's lips for the last second. The stranger completely pulled back.
"S-sorry."
Alice heard a voice of a girl's, quite a bit husky but nice to hear. She opened her eyes and the hand on hers were also gone along the stranger.
The lights returned and everyone cheered. Alice standing there astonished, touching her tingling lips with her fingertips.
(I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money…)
