Stella's POV
I woke up at 6 AM that morning. "Today's the day." I said to myself.
I freshened up and put on my long sleeved white fit shirt with black pins forming a heart, a black plaid skirt and tie and my biker boots. I put my peacock feather earring and put my hair in the usual style of course.
"Hey Charlie." I greeted him as I went down.
"Good, you're actually up early." He said with a smile.
I got some cereal and I caught him staring at me.
"What?" I asked him with my eyebrow raised.
"Nothing." He looked away quickly and I smirked.
I washed the dishes and we went to school.
It was a normal school day but it was cut short because of the ball tonight.
Olivia and Mo brought their dresses to school so that they could get ready at my house.
"What do you mean by I'll take the longest to get ready?" I said as I sat in the front seat of Charlie's car.
"You're gonna resist so it's probably gonna be really hard to get you in a cute dress." Mo said as Olivia and he got in the back seat.
"Sorry Stells." Olivia said.
We went over to my house and Mo and Olivia went to my room with me.
I sat on my couch as the brought out a pile of dresses.
"This one?" Mo said as she showed me a blue strap dress that she would have loved to wear.
I shook my head as Olivia brought out another one. "This?" She said and showed me a purple ruffle dress.
I shook my head again.
It took about an hour for them to find a dress I liked.
They put on their dresses and I marveled at how gorgeous they were. Although, they did say that they were nothing compared to what I was about to become.
Olivia wore a short strapless purple dress, purple heels, her blonde hair was in an updo and she had a handbag that matched her dress.
Mo was wearing a strapless royal blue party dress of course. Her hair was tied up into a high ponytail and she wore blue flats that were the same shade of blue as her dress.
"WOW." They both exclaimed when they were done with me.
"I hope you didn't turn me into a stupid girly girl." I told them.
"Beautiful but not girly." Olivia said.
"You think Charlie will think so too?" I asked.
"OH YEAH." They said in unison.
I smiled at them and we went out of my room.
Charlie's POV
I was hanging out with Scott and Wen in the living room. We were fixing each others ties and making sure that everyone looked right.
"Are you sure I look okay bro?" Wen said for the 60th time.
"You look awesome, blah blah blah." Scott said and I laughed.
We heard the door to Stella's room open. The girls came down the staircase and our mouths opened.
Mo and Olivia looked pretty amazing. But my eyes were on Stella.
She wore a black and white strapless plaid dress, black and white plaid wedges to match and even a black and white plaid handbag. Her hair was straightened and longer than usual. Instead of a peacock earring, she wore dangling hoop earrings. She wore a silver necklace with her name on it and a silver bangle.
"Stella, you look amazing." I told her as she stood in front of me.
"Thanks." She said and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear nervously. Stella, nervous? It wasn't exactly something you'd see everyday.
I held out my hand and she put her hand in mine. Our fingers intertwined and she blushed a light pink.
Scott was able to reserve a limo and we all sat beside our dates.
"Once we get there, you're so dancing with me Scott." Mo told him as he wrapped an arm around her.
"Uh, I don't think so." He said and Mo glared at him.
Wen and I chuckled.
I looked over at Stella who was twiddling with her thumbs.
Olivia looked weirdly at Wen who was eating all the nuts in the back of the limo. "Wen, I love you but you should stop eating all those nuts."
"But they're delicious!" He complained and we all rolled our eyes.
"We're here." The limo driver announced.
We got out of the limo and went in the school by pairs.
"Come on." I told Stella with a reassuring smile.
She clung to my arm and smiled back at me.
We went into the gym in a line.
Everyone gaped at the sight of the other girls. Everyone else drooled at the sight of Stella.
"Hey babe." Ray approached us (Well, Stella really) and began to flirt with her.
Stella smirked. "Ray, you've dated every hot girl here. Except me. It's gonna stay that way." She pat his face and left him there stunned.
"Great job Stells." I complimented her and we knuckle touched.
She got punch and the whole band chatted for a while.
The Only Exception began to play and Scott and Mo and Wen and Olivia left us so that they could dance.
Stella sighed beside me and I looked at her. I stood up in front of her.
"Would you like to dance?" I asked her.
She smiled and took my hand. "Of course I would."
I slid my hand around her waist and held her other hand. She put her hand on my shoulder and smiled.
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble itAnd my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
We smiled and became completely oblivious to anything around us.
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I twirled her around and I heard her giggle. Damn, that was a cute giggle.
Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Stella began to sing along softly and I smiled.
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
She put her arms around my neck and I put both hands on her waist. She beamed.
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
I pulled her a bit closer and she leaned.
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exceptionYou are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exceptionAnd I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
I pulled her even closer and she leaned forward a bit more. Our lips FINALLY met. I kissed her and I wondered if she wanted this, if she wanted me. But that thought faded away as I felt her kiss back.
People (specifically the band) began to cheer but I didn't care. It felt like magic. A spark was between us. It was something I'd never felt before.
She pulled away and smiled. I realized what I just did.
"I never should have done that." I said thinking that she still didn't like me. I began to walk away before she held onto my wrist.
I turned around and she smiled.
"Ch-Charlie." She said. "Do it again."
I grinned from ear to ear and kissed her again.
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
I'll wear those shoes and you will wear that dress.
The kiss was more passionate than before. I felt the sparks flying around us.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
My tongue begged her to open her mouth and she did.
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
I pulled away to take a breath for a while and she smiled. We were both lost for words.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
I kissed her again and I could feel her mouth turn into a smile.
Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
We broke apart and smiled at each other. I held her hand and led her back to the table.
"Oh my gosh guys, that was so romantic." Mo said and Olivia 'aww-ed'.
I held Stella's hand under the table. "It sure was." She said.
"Guys, you need a picture together." Olivia said.
Me and Stella rolledour eyes and smiled for the camera.
"Now kiss for the camera!" Mo commanded.
I looked at Stella who blushed. "I'd be happy to." I told them with a smile and kissed her and the camera flashed.
I hugged Stella. "I love you." I whispered in her ear.
"I know you do." She whispred back and giggled.
It was the best night of my life.
