The school dance was coming up and theme chosen this year was the 20's era.
Julie had been hoping he'd ask her to the dance but he never did.
Instead Connie had come up with a lame idea that Julie should go along with her and Guy. Great! Not only was she seen as a guy, now she couldn't get a real date either, she had to tag along with her teammate and her boyfriend.
On top of all that she was petrified because she seemed to have two left feet that only a pair of skates could cover.
Connie had tried to teach her how to dance but an embarrassing encounter in Guy's dorm with Adam walking in had put her off. Now she practiced in the privacy of her locked dorm.
She had kept her dress a secret too. She didn't want to get too excited about things as she felt that it would only lead to disappointment.
Her big night finally came and all those hours practicing paid off when her and Guy won the dancing contest.
Guy was surprisingly a great dancer but it was so worth everything to see the look on his face when he saw her in a dress for the first time. She gritted her teeth and put up with all the gushing and compliments received from people, especially her English teacher who told her she danced just like Ginger Rogers and then wouldn't stop talking about it.
When she finally managed to get away she headed for the door as quickly as she could, she needed fresh air. It was getting kind of claustrophobic.
She sat alone at the top of the steps a cup of water beside her. She started fantasizing about what it would be like if he was her partner instead of Guy, what if he was the one who twirled her around like she was floating on air.
Footsteps behind her interrupted her thoughts, she turned around to see who it was but it wasn't whom she hoped it would be.
It was Connie, "Oh Julie I didn't know you were out here" Connie was obviously dying to ask her if she was okay.
"I'm fine Connie, really. Just needed some fresh air. It was getting really hot under those lights".
Connie seemed to accept her explanation. "Well, okay then, I'll see you inside in a little bit then?" she asked hopefully.
She had noticed something was up with her friend lately but Julie was shutting her out completely.
"Yeah, of course" Julie replied watching her leave.
She settled back into her own thoughts, back to the only thing that seemed to fill her mind lately. Adam. No matter what else she thought about things always seemed to relate back to him. And then it happened.
He came around the corner just like she had dreamed that he would.
"There you are" he said, a smile creeping across his face.
"Here I am" she mimicked.
He laughed at her. "I've been looking for you everywhere" he said.
Julie's eyes lit up. "Why?" she asked trying to play it cool.
Adam smiled at her again "Because I don't think its fair that Guy gets to dance with you and I don't" he said offering his hand.
"Well that's because Guy's a better dancer than you are" she retorted in her usual new-founded sarcastic tone.
Adam was beginning to love that so much about her. "Yeah but I don't want to dance with Guy, he's not really my type" Adam joked hoping Julie would take the bait.
She finally took his hand and Adam wrapped his arm around her waist whilst holding her hand. They gently rocked back and forth.
"So what's your type then?" Julie asked expecting him to say Cheerleaders like Luis' new girlfriend Mindy.
Adam stopped dancing and looked her in the eyes. "You" he replied.
She smiled half expecting it to be a big joke but he bent down and kissed her on the lips and if she thought that first kiss was good, this one blew her away. It felt so right between them.
Unfortunately like their last kiss, the moment was interrupted by someone yet again.
"Hey Julie!" Tash's bubbly voice called.
Julie broke away from the kiss and mumbled "I'm sorry" before running down the steps
"JULIE!" Adam called after her but she wouldn't stop. Adam tried to chase her but she could outrun him when she wanted to.
"Hey Adam, where'd Julie go?" Tash came up beside him.
Adam looked at her, he was ready to give her a serving for interrupting the best moment of his life. He couldn't be angry at Tash thought, one look at her confused face and he knew she had no idea what she'd just interrupted.
"I don't know" he replied. "One minute we were….the next she ran off" Adam decided to take the plunge and looked at Tash sadly, maybe Tash would relay this to Julie and Julie would realise that she was what he really wanted.
Tash suddenly smiled at him "Oh Adam were you and Julie, finally getting together? Oh my god that's so great!" she exclaimed dancing around him happily. "You two would make the most excellent couple!"
Adam had to laugh at Tash's optimism, he knew him and Julie would be great together but they seemed to have a little trouble getting it right.
