Ella's POV

I waited impatiently in my room. The dance was at 8:00pm and it was only 6:15pm. I had tried every shoe in my closet on 3 times and it was still only 6:45.

I put some music on and turned it up as loud as it would go and danced around my room.

I didn't hear then knock but my door swung open

"Ella! Mum said turn down the music!" Max screamed over the music. I ignored her and continued playing air guitar and whipping my hair.

"Oh my god! Ella you only have 45 minutes to go! We have to hurry!" Nudge yelled as she bounded in and turned my music down and dragged me into the bathroom and I took a shower.

Nudge, Max and Angel dried, polished, painted and perfected me. I pulled on my dress and some black high-heels (not too high.) I spun and twirled in front of the mirror. I actually managed to shape up pretty nice, I thought to myself as I smiled at my reflection.

"Come on its nearly 8!" Squealed Nudge taking my hand and pulling me out of my room.

I felt like I was in the movies as I walked down our stairs. To add to the cliché I smiled as I saw Iggy with his back to me at the bottom of the stairs as he was talking and laughing with Fang and Gazzy.

Fang looked up at me and I saw his eyes pop and a smile spread over his lips. Iggy turned around and smiled in my direction as he heard me coming.

I felt my heart sink as I remembered he couldn't see and how he couldn't compliment me and mean it. Angel read my mind, again. "Ella stay there. I have an idea. I think I might be able to project what I'm seeing, A.K.A you, into Iggy's mind. Maybe" she smiled and I felt my heart skip a beat.

I then continued to walk slowly down the stairs and I saw Angel go a little red as she concentrated. I looked up at Iggy and saw his sightless eyes stare off into space and a grin spread over him. I knew it was working and I smiled.

I got to him and stood there as the spark in his eyes slowly faded but a different, better spark returned as he noticed I was standing beside him.

"You are absolutely gorgeous. So beautiful" he whispered in my ear and he took my hand and I grinned.

"Pictures" mum said holding a camera and I blushed. I allowed her to take a few snap shots before I grabbed Iggy's hand and ran out the door as my friends pulled up, but not with out a warning glare from Max.

I felt Iggy's hand tighten on mine as he heard all the giggling girls in the limo.

"I owe you so much Iggy. Thank you" I whispered and he smiled. Then it was my turn to tighten my grip as we walked towards the limo and I heard a familiar voice. Sam. I couldn't help but whimper.

Iggy ducked down to whisper in my ear. "I take it that's Sam" he whispered and I nodded.

"Well don't worry; as I am the best friend anyone could ever have, I'm going to make sure this night is exactly what you wanted" he whispered and I couldn't help but grin. He linked his arm with mine and we headed for the limo as J.J called out "Ella! Hurry up!"

Iggy opened the limo door for me and I blushed. I climbed in to the giant limo and he climbed in next to me.

I looked around and saw J.J and her boyfriend Dylan and Tess and her date Josh. My heart sunk for a second as I also saw Sam and his 'date' Lisa.

The whole way there we complimented each other on how we looked.

"Your dress is amazing" J.J told me. "Yours too. Iggy, my sister and some friends picked it out" I said and their eyes widened as they just realized Iggy was here.

"So uhh, who's this?" J.J giggled. "Iggy" I smiled. "Interesting name" Tess giggled and Iggy grinned.

I could practically feel Sam's eyes on me but I ignored him and refused to look at him.

Finally we arrived and we all piled out. As we headed for the hall where the dance was being held, I felt someone grab my hand, and it wasn't the slightly cool and large hand of Iggy.

I looked up into Sam's eyes. He stopped me and I pulled my hand away. "You look hot" Sam smiled looking me up and down.

"Leave me alone Sam" I growled walking away but he grabbed my hand again.

"Come on Ella. I'm really sorry. Please give me another chance" he begged. I saw Iggy heading towards us.

I grabbed the collar of Sam's tux and pulled him close. "You hurt me Sam. Not cool. But lucky for me, it's only going to make me stronger. I will never be that vulnerable girl again. So don't you dare come near me" I threatened.

I let go and walked over to Iggy and he grinned at me and put his arm around me. "You'll regret that" Sam called. "Never" I replied and we walked into the hall.
