Rory and Clark made their way into the gym and found the group of Clark's
friends, mainly being Pete and his date and Chloe and her date as well as
one or two other couples. When they first approached Rory swore she saw
Chloe give her a death glare, but when they joined the group she acted as
though she was glad Rory was there. After a while the group started to thin
until it was only Chloe, her date, Clark, and Rory. Clark heard a slow song
come on so he asked Rory to dance leaving Chloe glaring at Rory's back and
her date oblivious to it.
"I will warn you, I'm a terrible dancer and I thoroughly despise the activity, but I'm putting that aside for tonight." Rory said as Clark led her onto the dance floor.
"Well, I'll tell you a secret, I hate dancing too. I only do it when there's a chance I'll get to be close to a pretty girl." Clark said and was instantly shocked by it. Pete would have considered that a pretty smooth line, but Clark never said anything like that.
"I'll have to remember that." Rory teased. The two talked and danced and when the song ended and a fast one started so the two headed over to a table.
"I'll be right back." Clark said as he excused himself to the restroom.
"O.k. I'm going to get a drink, but I'll meet you here." She told him as she headed for the refreshment table. On her way she ran into Lana.
"Oh, hey." She said when she saw them. She hadn't expected to see her. "I didn't know you here." She continued.
"Um, yea, it's good to see you." Rory said as a guy walked up to Lana.
"Oh, this is Eric, Eric this is Rory. She's staying with the Kents." Lana introduced the two.
"It's nice to meet you Eric." She said.
"Same here. Lana do you want a drink?" Eric asked and after Lana nodded he left the two alone.
"So are the two of you…"
"Oh, no." Lana said almost embarrassed. "He's friends with my cousin. I was nominated for the court, and when he found out he convinced me not to go alone." She explained "So who are you hear with?" she then asked innocently.
"I'm here with Clark." She responded, but then noticed that Lana went a little pale. Then her face turned bright red.
"That, great. Um you know what I'm a little warm, I think I'm going to find Eric and see if he got those drinks. I'll talk to you later." She said quickly and walked away.
Rory was a bit taken aback. But went and got some drinks and returned to the table at the same time as Clark. "I didn't know if you wanted a drink, but I brought you one anyway." She said handing him a glass and sitting down,
"Thanks." He said taking a drink. "So are you having fun so far?" he asked.
"Oh yeah." She said nodding
"Me too. I'm glad." He said giving her hand a squeeze. The two sat and talked, took pictures and then danced more. They were both having a blast and each was starting to realize how much they enjoyed the other's company. The night was almost perfect.
