"Justin… Hi…" Nikki rolled her eyes, trying not so show any emotion.
"You look great! See, I told you that you would look smoking in a dress!" Justin, Nikki's most recent ex-boyfriend laughed.
"Look, Justin, stop…"
"Nikki! Hey!" Wyatt came up to the pair, noticing Nikki's discomfort.
"Wyatt! Hey you!" Nikki stood up, hugging her best friend.
"Duuuuuuuudes!" Jude laughed, coming up with his arm wrapped around a short and slightly chubby brunette.
"Oh my god! It's a reunion up in here!" Nikki laughed, getting up and shutting Justin out from the trio.
"Dude, dudette, this is my girlfriend Skye." Jude smiled, and Skye waved shyly.
"Yeah I've met her. So Nikki are you with a plus one?" Wyatt laughed.
"Yeah, my gay room mate Micah! He's on the dance floor grooving with Caitlin." Nikki half smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Hah, don't worry. I'm here with Marlowe." Wyatt smirked, gesturing towards Marlowe on the dance floor dancing with some man he's never seen before.
"Yeah I suppose that makes two of us here with our supposed best friends." Nikki laughed, watching Marlowe dance with a man she knew from school named Preston. Justin was still lurking behind her, although not as close. "Justin can I help you?" Nikki questioned him.
"I just wanted to ask for the next slow dance…" Justin stated. And, as if on queue, the next song was a slow song. Justin held his hand out and Nikki reluctantly took it, sending a pleading look to her friends.
"Go for it…" Wyatt stated, and Skye and Jude nodded, making their way to the dance floor. Micah saw Nikki and decided to grab Caitlin as his partner.
Nikki placed her head on Justin's shoulder and sighed. "What are you doing Justin?"
"Dancing with a beautiful girl…" Justin smiled, and kissed Nikki on the side of her head.
"No, really. When we were together you couldn't get rid of me fast enough… and now?"
"I've always thought you were beautiful…" Justin whispered in her ear, almost rendering Nikki defenseless.
Straighten up Nikki, get some resolve! Nikki squeezed her eyes shut and tried to keep Justin's advances out of her mind.
"Excuse me sir, can I cut in?" Someone rang in, and Nikki looked up, almost relieved until she saw who was asking.
