I was just parking outside Victor's house. Kori had told me not to wear my clothes but to just take them to the house. I didn't understand why but as her 'Omg best friend' I was obliged to do what she said.
"Yo, Rae, you made it!" Victor's voice exited exclaimed.
"Yeah sure."
"The girls are upstairs."
"Thanks." I made my way upstairs and into the room where the most squeals came from.
Kori popped her head out, "Hello friend Rachel!"
"Yeah hi. What do you want me to do with my dress?"
"Yes, you can change in the bathroom."
"Okay. See you in a bit."
I stole into the bathroom and unpack my dress. It was a mid-shin dress, black. It had a gold belt that went with it and a matching small broach. Two straps went over the shoulder and it had an open back. This was the only dress I owned, and I didn't even pick it, Kori did.
Alas, I had never worn it. His was the first time. I also had a pair of earrings in with little black gems.
After I had changed I left the room with my clothes in a bag. Apparently, Kori had bat hearing and knew I was about to knock on the door. She managed to open it with her freshly painted nails. "Rachel you look the beautiful!"
Rasing an eyebrow in disbelief I antered the room. All the girls were in their dresses. It was a sparkly sight I must admit. They all turned their heads and went "Omg Rae!" Or "you look amazing!" Which was strange.
Seeing Toni and Michelle in the corner, beckoning me, I had to go over. Almost tripping over girls I eventually made it to my friends. "Hey Raven. You look great!"
"Thanks."
We began to talk but they both had a sort of...suspicious look on their faces. "What's going on?" I ask out of curiosity.
"Oh, nothing."
"Sure?"
"Yes I'm sure, look, would we lie to you?"
I imagine all the times they have lied to me and nod. "Whatever. Look nothing is happening."
"Vic is ready guys, we're going."
We stopped talking and left to Victor's car outside.
"So where are we going?"
"Why ask, we're here now."
"Woah."
The building was huge. It had intricate stone carvings placed around it.
We all got out of the car and waited outside the stone building for the other girls to come.
"Michelle, I'm sorry I yelled at you."
"No its fine, I know you don't like talking about your past."
We were sat at the open bar. Toni was dancing with Isaiah. "Thanks for understanding."
"I shouldn't have pushed it. I should be saying sorry."
"No. I apologise and that's the last of it. Alright?"
"Okay."
Suddenly the music changed and Jinx and I turned to look at our friends awkwardly asking the other for a dance.
Lucily all said yes.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Walley and Garfield nervously approaching us.
We laughed a bit at them sweating and hatching a plan, but immediately when they got to us they went all confident. "What's up guys?" Jinx giggled.
"Oh...um...nothing." They said nervously.
"You sure?" I added.
"Uh, well..we were wondering if you would...you know..." Garfield stuttered.
Walley rolled his eyes. "Can we have this dance ladies?"
"Sure. Why didn't you say that in the first place?" Jinx asked.
"He tried."
Walley and Jinx left.
Garfield gave me a goofy smile and took my hand. "Come on. Lets dance."
I laughed at him and joined the others on the floor.
Star was dancing with Richard, he must be very happy, although I saw his ex girlfriend Kitten in the corner steaming. That was funny. And her ex boyfriend "Fang" was trying to get her attention. I watched the scene, laughing at the pair.
Along with Richard and Star, Kole and Joseph were talking at one of the tables. They were made for each other, everyone knew it. They were both sweet and adorable, and Kole knew sign language so Joseph didn't have to write all the time.
What surprised me the most was the fact that Leonid was actually talking.
To Pantha.
She won't let me say Rosabelle even if it is in my imagination.
Although, I feel like those two had a past, like they knew each other from when they were little.
Also Leonid is the only person who can actually beat her in wrestling.
Amazingly, all the people who should go out, were dancing.
Wait...
That means...
Me and Garfield?
He wouldn't be interested in someone like me. I'm not beautiful.
He's handsome and cute. I'm just...meh.
Well, better enjoy it until he realises what I really am.
Though he did have all the tell - tale signs of a crush. Sweating, shyness, stuttering, goofy smiles. But that might just be his personality.
Whilst I thought about all of this I was still dancing with him.
He was smiling at me.
So I smiled back.
I hadn't noticed the little Fang he had going on, but it was cute.
We began to talk about the other people, I told him about the time I broke Speedy's nose, he told me about this girl called Terra.
The song had finished and we joined the other guys at the large table. Toni and Michelle sat either side of me.
Once our food came we began to eat and joke and laugh. All was merry.
Near me, Victor was whispering something to all of the guys.
Which honestly creeped me out because they never did this.
After a while of whispering, all the girls had noticed and were looking at each other confused. Then once we had finished our food they split up onto the dance floor.
They stood in a line of black and white suits. Then listed their hands up.
Somehow, Speedy got a girlfriend. She was sweet, maybe a little phycotic but sweet. Her name was Cheshire.
No surprise that Garth got a girlfriend too. He can get any girl ever.
Suddenly Kori yanked me up and pulled me over to them along with the other girls.
The music changed and all the guys grabbed their partners hand. "May I have this dance?" They all asked.
All nodded and we began to dance.
Luckily, my dad had taught me to dance when I was younger...when mum was there.
3rd POV
Raven and Garfield glided across the floor. It was like Gar knew what he was doing!
But he only knew this one dance as he had set aside time to work out a routine with the guys.
He smiled at her apologetically if he does anything wrong. She just looked at him and laughed. "Toni we are matchmakers!" Michelle whispered to her friend.
"I know, and look, our other friend is getting there too." She gestured towards Kole and Joseph.
They were talking whilst dancing. She had the same old innocent face she always had, but it was in deep thought.
She was staring into his perfect emerald eyes whilst he was staring into her own sapphire eyes.
She always wore her antenna headband as it looked so adorable on her, he usually had his guitar with him. This was no exception for them both.
Anyway, back to Garfield and Rachel...
She didn't want him to see what she really was,
A monster.
But she liked him. She really did.
Although they had separate personalities, one independent, smart and serious, the other fun, happy and cute.
They were perfect for each other still.
She brought out his romantic side, and his confidence.
He brought out her fun side and her happiness.
Though he did not know it yet, he had a beast inside of him too.
It was mean angry almost all the time.
It was like a caged animal, locked up and ready to pounce.
So really,
They were both monsters.
Each others monsters.
Oh yeah, I can just feel it. They are zinging. Also, do you guys want Garfield's beast to come out, or Rachel's or both? I could totally make that happen. But please tell me what you want to see next chapter because um running out of inspiration...help me... :3
