Selena POV
It was Friday night and I was trying to calm down in my car before the dance. I strapped up my heels before I walked out of my car. Lydia and I had went to Macy's earlier and got our dresses. The dress I wore was a Strapless Red chiffon strapless sweetheart high-low cocktail dress with a beaded sash. Lydia had insisted that I wear these heels she saw. They were 4 Inch Silver Rhinestone High Heels. I had to give it to Lydia, as far as fashion was concerned, she would be the first person I would call. I walked out of my car to see the High School was all done up with balloons and my eyes scanned the parking lot for a certain piece of crap Jeep. When I spotted it, a small smile came to my face and I walked into the school. Lydia came up to me and pulled me into a hug.
"That dress looks absolutely amazing on you!" She says with a smile.
"I am a genius." Lydia squeals and pulls away.
"I've got to find Jackson. You look great Cece." She says and heads in the opposite direction. Then, I began my search to find Stiles. I really should've had him pick me up. As I passed in the halls, I could see couples were talking in front of lockers, and I went to go wait at the top of the stairs. Then I felt a set of hands cover my eyes, and a smile spread across my face.
"Guess who." Stiles whispered in my ear and I turned around to see he had a smile on his face that made my knees weak. Stiles was in a classic black and white Tuxedo with a red rose pinned to the right side of his chest. His brown eyes were sparkling from his beaming smile.
"You clean up nice." I say and pull him into a hug.
"Cece, you look beautiful." Stiles says with a beaming smile, and I couldn't help but return it. Stiles gently grabbed my wrist, and put a white corsage on it. I leaned up a little and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"Miss Hale, may I escort you to the dance."
"Let's go." I say and wrap my arm into Stiles' arm and he led me into the Gym. The DJ was playing something that had a nice beat. Then, the DJ cut the music short and spoke, his voice booming over the amps in the Gym.
"Alright guys, here is a few slow songs for you guys. Guys, don't screw this up." The DJ says and starts to play the song Flightless Bird by Iron & Wine.
"I love this song!"
"May I have this dance?" Stiles asked. He was trying to make this sweet. I was silent as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt his arms wrap around my waist and he pulled me close. I laid my head on his chest, his steady heartbeat was keeping me calm. We just rocked back and forth like that for a while. It was nice to take a breather and just relax. Stiles spun me in a circle and I leaned back into him. He was my rock for the past 6 years, and never once, has he left my side. Stiles pulled away from me slightly.
"I've waited a long time to do this Cece." He mumbled and puts a finger under my chin and kissed me gently. At first, I couldn't get my body to react, then I began to kiss him back, and my hands twined in his hair. Everything was perfect. He pulled away, and it took a minute for my breathing to get back to normal. My heart was beating so hard I thought it would jump out of my chest. Stiles placed a kiss to my cheek. Then, the DJ changed the song to Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade. I lost all track of time. All I knew was that I was finally happy.
"Mind if I cut in?" a voice said and I looked to see Matt standing next to Stiles.
"Yeah man. I'm kind of busy right now." Stiles says with a tone that just screamed 'Back off'. But, Matt must not have caught the tone. Or maybe, I just knew him that well. Stiles took a look at me, and handed me to Matt. My smile wasn't as bright as when Stiles danced with me, but a polite smile was still there.
"So Stiles, huh?" Matt asked and moved his hand to my hips. One of my eyebrows rose.
"Yeah. Those hands better move up quick." I said with a straight face, then my lips curled into a crazy smile at the end. He knew what I was capable of, and I think it put him on guard to know that a girl could be, and was, stronger than him.
"You have a great smile Selena. You should smile more often." Matt says, a bitter tone of sarcasm riddling his voice.
"Where are you going with this?" I asked with an eyebrow risen, and my eyes darted around the room for my date, who I was supposed to be dancing with.
"Just saying the obvious." Matt says with a smile. The smile made goosebumps go down my arms. His words were just wrong. There was no better way to say it. Matt's tone was all wrong. It wasn't the same as the one that I was about to go on a date with.
"I heard you were a really good photographer. What kind of photos do you take?" I asked, trying to change the subject as we rocked back and forth, my hands never leaving his shoulders, and his hands never left my hips.
"Whatever catches my eye." Matt says with a wink, and I suddenly got a really bad vibe off of him.
"Matt. I'm going to tell you one more time. Move your hands before there's another fight." I snarled at the teenage boy. Then, almost like he was on a cue, my knight in shining armor came back.
"Matt, get your hands off of her. She told you twice, and you're lucky you had those two chances. Now, get your hands before I make you get your hands off of her." Stiles threatened. I had never seen Stiles get like this. So once Matt let go of my waist, I walked to Stiles' side and Isaac moved to stand at Stiles' other side.
"Matt. Leave." Stiles threatened again, this time more crazy, and Matt turned to me.
"Whatever catches my eye." Matt says again and disappeared into the crowd. Stiles turned back to me.
"You okay Cece?" He asked, all traces of anger was wiped off of his face.
"Yeah. I was getting bad vibes off of Matt. I'm fine." I tried to reassure him as we continued to dance.
"Like what kind of vibes? Like he was creepy?"
"He was creeping me out I don't know why." I said and tried to swallow the anxiety. Tonight was supposed to be a happy night. And, I had to make sure it stayed happy.
