And it continues.

"No Paige really, I hate wearing a lot of makeup!" Lux said protesting with her friend as she saw Paige approach her with a brush covered in blush.
"Lux, this is just going to accent your cheekbones, don't worry." Paige said ignoring Lux's protests as she began to dust the power on her cheeks. Lux gave up and slumped back in her chair. She was at Paige's house with Hazel getting ready for the dance. Paige already looked stunning in a backless black gown with her hair tied up in curly tendrils. Hazel was currently changing into her formal black dress as well, and Lux was getting her makeup done, already changed into her red dress. She had left her long wavy black hair cascading past her shoulders.
"Ok, now I don't want you to fight me on this," Paige said threateningly as she began to dip her brush into silver eye shadow.
"Paige! I told you I just wanted to line my eyes with black liner!"
"You are NOT looking gothic on me ok!" Paige said as the doorbell wrung. "Look! They're here already, you better sit still," Paige said as she began to dust Lux's eyelids.
"Paige, girls! The boys are here," Paige's mom yelled up the stairs.
"Coming," Paige said.
10 minutes later the girls were ready. They began to descend down the stairs, ready to see their dates. All the guys looked up at their dates with wide eyes. Spinner immediately spoke,
"Wow, you girls look hot," he approached Paige and slipped a corsage on her wrist. "You look beautiful," he whispered into her ear as she giggled. Lux smiled at Jimmy from across the room and walked towards him.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," he said and Lux noticed him swallowing hard. "You look really nice."
"Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself," Lux said beaming. Jimmy hesitated for a moment and then placed a corsage on her wrist. Lux smiled and looked down at it, and then pinned the boutonniere onto his coat.
"Ready to go?" Lux heard Paige ask the group. Jimmy gallantly extended his arm to Lux, and they set on their way to the dance.

Lux couldn't help but be impressed with the gym as she entered it with Jimmy. It was extravagantly decorated with streamers and balloons and dim lighting. Lux looked around and was happy to see Craig there, now talking to Marco and Spinner. Emma and Manny were standing by the punch talking to J.T. and Liberty.
"Come on," Jimmy said to her as he dragged her out onto the dance floor. Lux grinned and began to dance with Jimmy to "Shake Ya Tailfeather". It was undeniable that Jimmy was a great dancer. After a few more songs, "Here's To The Night," by Eve 6 came on. Lux stepped closer to Jimmy as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Lux gazed over Jimmy's shoulder towards Paige and Hazel, who were dancing with their dates respectively. Manny looked happy wrapped in Craig's arms. Suddenly, Lux say Sean dancing with Emma. She couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her gut. She didn't know whether they were back together, but by the looks of it, they were. Lux couldn't help but notice how nice Sean looked in a collared shirt and loosened tie. She swallowed down her disappointment and looked at her date Jimmy. She had to admit, he was looking very nice, and he was being the perfect gentleman. She took a deep breath and tried to forget about Sean.

(2 Hours Later)
Lux sat at a table fanning herself. She had spent almost the entire two hours dancing with everyone. She finally decided to take a break, and resorted to avoiding Paige and Spinner practically make out beside her.
"Hey," Lux heard from behind her. She turned around and was pleased to see Sean.
"hey," she said smiling at him.
"You look nice," he said smoothly running his eyes over her. Lux tried not to blush,
"Thanks, so do you," she said. His hair was slightly mused and his shirt sleeves were rolled carelessly up.
"Soo, where's Jimmy?" Sean asked looking wearily at Paige and Spinner beside her.
"He's out there somewhere," Lux said pointing in the direction of the dance floor. "I needed a break." Sean nodded his head.
"Where's Emma?" Lux asked trying to sound as though she really didn't care. Sean nodded his head towards the dance floor, as though he really didn't care either.
"Wanna dance?" Sean asked rather abruptly. Lux was shocked at the question at first, not expecting it, but she nodded her head. As she stood up, Sean slipped her hand into his. When they got onto the dance floor, Lux ignored the looks Hazel was giving her. Instead, she turned towards Sean and placed her hands on his shoulders. As they swayed to "This I Promise You" by N'Sync, she felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up past Sean and saw Emma shooting her death glares. Lux decided to take a chance and ask Sean the question she had been dying to know for a long time.
"Sean," she started. Sean looked down at her. "Are you and Emma.you know, dating?" she asked. Sean looked surprised by the question.
"No, I mean, we used to. But not anymore. We came as friends tonight. Why?" he said. Lux shook her head,
"Oh, I was just wondering. You know, cause you guys came together and everything, I just assumed you two were back together or something."
"Nah, we are better friends." Sean said with a shrug. Lux tried not to think of Emma and focused on the music..and Sean's arms. "Are you going to Paige's party after?" Sean asked as the song came to an end and they pulled apart.
"Yeah, are you?" Lux asked.
"yep, I'll see you there," Sean said as Emma approached them and placed her hand possessively on Sean's hand.
"Ok, bye," Lux said trying not to get flustered by a junior.
"bye" Sean said as Emma began to tug him towards the middle of the dance floor. Lux sighed to herself as she watched Sean's retreating back.
"Someone has a crush," Lux hear Hazel sing in her ear.
"Shut up Hazel," Lux said, not really meaning it.
"You never denied it," she said smoothly.
"I don't have a crush on Sean,"
"Lux, it's the last dance, come on," Jimmy said as he interrupted the conversation and dragged Lux away.
