Chapter 28 - Moonlight Dance Part 1
Nina's POV
All day the house was either sleeping, relaxing or if your Amber getting ready for the dance 5 hours before. When the clock struck 6pm, the boys dashed to there room while the girls sprinted upstairs. As I opened the door, Amber was looking in the mirror doing her make-up in a gown while her dress was lying on the bed. It took her 5 hours to do just her hair?! I took a quick shower and sprayed myself in body spray, making the bathroom smell like apricots and flowers. I put on my fluffy gown and sat down next to Amber to get my hair done. I decided to straighten it and curl it off at the end. It took me a full 30 minutes. I then sprayed it with Jen's hair glitter. I put light blue eye shadow with a little bit of blush. I added a tiny amount of mascara and then coated my lips in red lip gloss. I smiled at the result. You see, make-up and me do not mix. I don't look nice with a ton of it on so I decide to keep it simple. I slipped into the dress with ease, put on my silver hoop earrings and heart necklace, placed my feet in the shoes and turned to face Jen.
"Is it alright?" I asked nervously. I knew I still loved Eddie and I wanted to make an impression that would leave a mark. Jen faced me and she looked drop-dead gorgeous. Her hair was curled then put up in a bun with loose tendrils to give off her make-up. She painted her lips orange and her eyes green. We stared at each other then at the same time went:
"PERFECTION!"
The door opened showing three amazing looking girls. Mara, Joy and Patricia strutted in and expected us. We all glanced at each other and squealed. Then Patricia grabbed my arm and tugged me back to her dorm where J-Lo's Miami Heat was still lingering. I looked at her waiting to know the reason she brought me here. I should be hating her, but I knew her way before Eddie and I trust her with my life. Even if she may be a goth-pixie.
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened with Eddie - he was just practising with me for your date. Believe me it was amazing even if we only started before getting pied. He was telling me what you were planning and I kissed him. I swear it had nothing to do with Eddie."
I looked her in the eye and she wasn't lying. I nodded and gave her a hug. Patricia stood there stunned.
"You forgive me?" She whispered.
"I already did" I told her back. A smile spread across her face as we linked arms and sashayed back into my room, where we saw Amber with the girls ready for the appearance. Patricia walked down the steps first, we couldn't see but we could hear the gasps. Amber took the staircase next, again greeted with amazement. Then me, I slowly walked down and saw the guys staring at me. A faint blush sprang to my cheeks as I waited on the third step, with Amb's on second and Trixie on first. Mara and Joy joined us and we all looked at our guy. Mine being Eddie. My eyes locked with his, I took in his entire. He wore a normal suit, tie and everything and a turquoise flower attached to his pocket. I smiled and he gave a shy smile back. I connected my arm with Patricia since we were the only ones who haven't got proper dates, just mates. We led the way and made it to the hall.
It was pure magic. The old and boring hall used for assembly's was now a moonlit paradise. The only light colours were white and blue - food being in front of the stage which was holding the DJ. The main lights were turned off making it more magical with glitter on the floor and balloons attached to the ceiling. Streamers were dangled randomly making them seem they were placed precisely. The song booming out of the speakers was 'Let's Go' by Calvin Harris. Amfie, Jara and Jabian were dancing there hearts out to the upbeat songs that were played, while I stood with Patricia, Eddie and Mick watching the scene set out.
Eddie left to go to the toilet and in that time a person in a mask came up to me and asked to dance to the next dance. I nodded, it was time to have some fun. Then my favourite song busted out. Animal by Ke$ha, a song that Eddie made me love by teaching me a dance to go with it. Masked stranger took my hand and led me to the centre of the floor with the other couples and friends. I put my arms round his neck and his arms snugly around my waist.
I am in love,
With what we are,
Not what we should be.
And I am,
I am star struck.
With every part,
Of this whole story.
So if it's just tonight,
The animal inside,
Let it live and die.
Like it's the end of time,
Like everything inside,
Let it live and die.
During the slow tempo to the first verse, we silently swayed until the climax came up where our hands joined as if we were going to waltz.
This is our last chance,
Give me your hands.'
Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die.
Oh.
Then we waltzed fast, to match the speed of the chorus and he spun me around in a circle on the third line. This was the dance Eddie taught me. He couldn't be...
I'm not asleep,
I'm up for the fight
Into the magic.
And I don't, want the concrete.
I am alive.
Comes with the tragic.
So if it's just tonight,
The animal inside,
Let it live and die.
This time, instead of swaying we waltzed slowly, before he picked me up for the chorus again.
This is our last chance,
Give me your hands.
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die.
Oh.
Oh. Da da da da da .
This is our last chance,
Give me your hands.
Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die. Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh.
We did the exact same dance as I learned. But my smile was huge. That was so much fun! When we stopped we looked into each others eyes and were ever so slowly leaning closer, when we heard clapping. I twisted to see the whole school off the dance floor just watching us, I forgot they were there. I blushed scarlet and hurried off to Amber who was there giggling at my shyness. I gave a fake punch to her arm and walked off to get some fresh air after that heated dance. I realised something as I walked through the corridors with the blonde. I didn't know who he was.
