AN HOUR BEFORE THE DANCE
Justin stood in front of the mirror of his room, and looked at himself. Not bad, Justin, he thought to himself. He never really minded Harper's individuality when it came to clothes, but he had to admit, Harper had gone all out for this suit. It was a black suit, with a light grey shirt. It looked really good.
Do I resent the fact that it was actually made for Zeke? Oh, come on, Justin. You are thinking nonsense again. Even though he tried to divert his mind away from the whole issue, it kept coming back to him like some stubborn horse shoe magnet.
Meanwhile, Alex had gotten ready for the dance, and was wearing a black and purple half length dress, and a black feather head band for her hair, which was otherwise let loose, with large curls. She wore black fishnet stockings to complete the look.
At her father's request, she was going to Justin's room to drag him to the living rom. Ugh...he is such a girl. Now I have to escort him to the living area. Why did I even think of taking Harper's help so that he could come to the dance? I mean, now he's just a pain in the...not so comfortable part.
Alex reached his room, all the while muttering under her breath. As usual, she did not bother to knock before entering his "personal space", as he had himself described it.
He was turning this way and that way, looking at every inch of his physique and his suit. Seeing him do this action repeatedly, Alex couldnt control herself, and starting giggling like crazy. Justin jumped at the sound, and upon noticing that it was Alex who was the source of the sound, his face turned beetroot red.
"Well well well...I have to admit Justin, you've reached a whole new level of feminism.", Alex said, before putting up a high pitched, ultra girly voice, and saying, "Awh gurrrll...don' go breakin' your shweet head over nothin'..you look hot! Boys are gonna be linin' themselves up to get a piece of you!" she added a girls-jumping-up-and-down-excitedly move for extra measure, and said, "WOO HOO!"
"Oh, shut up, Alex. It was just...to see if there are any marks on the suit..", Justin said, rather hastily. "And besides, why are inside my room without knocking? Seriously, do you not understand the meaning of "privacy"?", Justin added, in a slightly exasperated, slightly angry, but mostly embarassed tone.
"Whatever, Justin. Just be glad the whole Waverly Place doesnt know about your...antiques. Now, if you want your little girl act to remain a secret, you better come downstairs to the living room.", said Alex, with the hint of a snicker.
Justin puffed up his cheek and got out of the room with the little dignity that was still left, before tripping over nothing and falling flat on his face. Alex laughed like a maniac, and stepped over him and started walking, before turning her head and saying, "You know, I think tonight's gonna be AWESOME", stressing on the word "awesome".
HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE DANCE
"Where is Harper? You guys really need to get going.", Jerry Russo said.
"Oh relax dad. I checked on her 2 minuted ago, she'll be here any moment now.", Alex replied, rolling her eyes at her father's restlessness.
The whole Russo family (and Mason) was sitting in the living room, waiting for Harper to show up. Mason, Alex, Justin, Harper and Max were supposed to go to the dance together, and had somehow managed to get the neighbour's car for the occasion.
Justin had been waiting eagerly for Harper to enter the room, although he was not willing to admit that to himself. He was also worried that they will get late if she doesnt come fast. Like, really fast.
And then she came out.
Justin had known Harper literally all his life, and he had always thought that she was pretty cute. But that didnt compare to the way she looked at that moment. She was wearing a purple nuanced grey sleeveless mid length dress, with a sequined panel across the front and tie belt. Her hair was tied in a neat-yet-messy knot, and she looked...exquisite. There was no other word for it. Beautiful didnt even begin to cover it. Justin's breath was caught in his chest.
"Ooooohhhhh...look who's looking hot!", Theresa exclaimed.
"Harper, you look really, really, pretty," Mason added. "You know, as a sister..", he said, for good measure.
Harper graciously thanked them, and her eyes met Justin's. Her eyes looked like they were waiting for his approval, and the thought made him weirdly happy. He smiled at her in appreciation, and she blushed, which made it harder for Justin to stop staring, because her blushing added on to her already insanely beautiful self.
He somehow tore his eyes away from Harper, and said, somewhat coarsely, "Um...we should be going, if we want to reach the school on time..."
"Yeah, gosh. Thanks, Justin. We didnt realize that at all! Ugh.", Alex said, sarcastically.
"Oh Alex, stop picking on your brother. Now, you kids, go and have fun!", Theresa said.
Bracing himself for whichever other surprises the night held, Justin walked towards the car, with the others not far behind.
