Chapter 18
Smirking to herself as she finished getting ready, Sam checked herself in the mirror one last time. Finally, after all the drama and crazy stuff that had been happening, things had calmed down. Now it was time for the Official School Dance; the first major event she and Ashley would be attending as a couple.
Sam had made sure she was able to dress up well, having actually went out to find a new dress and such for this dance. She was clad in a plaid knee length dress with a black belt circling her waist, she wore simple but elegant black slip on shoes and black thigh-high stockings.
'This is it, can't wait, Ash and I together, seeing everybody else; the whole school coming together for this dance...' She reflected as she worked on her hair.
Once satisfied, having finished braiding her hair she felt ready. Leaving her room she soon saw Ashley waiting for her, along with Max and Kate.
Sam grinned, all three of them looked great, Ashley in a red calf-length dress that had slight, black accents, a black bow was tied across her midriff, she also wore black stockings although Sam knew Ashley's came up to her knees, to finish she wore red slip ons.
Max meanwhile was in a midnight blue ankle length dress with black slip on shoes. She wore a blue hair bow and gold doe necklace as well. Finally Kate wore a black ankle length dress with a silver chest area, a silver bow tied her hair up in a bun and finally, black slip ons finished the look.
Approaching the group Sam grinned.
"Hey guys, looking good."
They all turned to face her, smiling.
"Thanks." Kate replied softly.
Max was smiling, nervous, but smiling. "So, are we all ready?"
"You bet, I think everyone else is at the hall." Sam commented.
Smiling and taking Sam's hand, Ashley spoke up. "So, what are we waiting for?"
Grinning at Ashley new confidence, Sam nodded and together the four of them made their way out of the dorms towards the school hall where the dance was taking place. By the time they reached the dance hall they were all in a state of anticipation as they heard the music and voices inside. Entering they found Warren and Chris already waiting for them.
"Hey there." Warren greeted.
Max and Kate both grinned, approaching their respective boyfriends. Both had made a considerably effort, Warren in a midnight blue button up dress shirt, with a black bow-tie, black dress pants and dress shoes. Chris meanwhile wore a silver dress shirt with black clip on tie; Sam smirking remembering how Chris always complained whenever he tried actually tying a neck-tie; he also wore black dress pants and similar shoes.
As Max and Kate kissed their boyfriends, Ashley smiled, tightening her grip on Sam's hand and resting her head on Sam's shoulder.
"Can't believe we're really here, it's been amazing." She said.
Sam grinned. "Tell me about it. C'mon, let's go try and find any of the others."
Ashley agreed and, with the other two couples joining them, they began making their way further into the hall, moving through the crowds.
Making their way through the crowds they soon spotted other people they knew. The first two they spotted were Dana and Trevor, both dancing together and clearly enjoying themselves.
Dana looked stunning in a strapless purple dress with a slightly revealing bust, however it flowed out past her knees, she also more purple heels and a matching silver earrings and necklace set. Meanwhile Trevor was actually looking fancy for a change in white dress pants, dress shoes and a purple dress shirt with black bow-tie.
"Oh my God..." Sam laughed when she saw them.
Max nodded slowly. "Um, yeah, don't think Trevor's a...good dancer."
Kate smiled. "Dana doesn't seem to mind though."
The others agreed and resumed their search. They also spotted Victoria, in a strapless silver and turquoise ankle length dress along with black heels and a fancy necklace, she was standing talking to Nathan who was clad in a classic tux with a silver tie, looking somewhat nervous, no doubt due to the surveillance he was under, yet Victoria's presence seemed to calm him. It was then Ashley spoke.
"Hey, over there."
They followed where she pointed and smiled before heading over to meet with the people she had seen, some of the ones they had been looking for.
The ones she had spotted were Matt, clad in a pink dress shirt with a black tie, black dress pants and black dress shoes, and Emily, clad in a pink sparkly strapless knee length dress, black heels and wearing silver earrings. They chatting to Stella, who had dressed up nice too, in a simple white strapless ankle length dress and black slip ons.
"Hey there." Sam greeted them as they reached the trio.
"Oh, hi." Stella replied, grinning.
The others also smiled and greeted them.
Emily smirked. "So, you guys ready for your first big...date."
Blushing Ashley shook her head. "Em, please."
Emily shrugged. "Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, what are we doing just standing around huh?"
The others all grinned and with Stella; excusing herself as she spotted someone she needed to talk to anyway, making her departure, they all headed out towards the dance floor.
As they did Ashley commented. "I see we're not the only ones to come out of the closet."
Sam followed her gaze and saw none other than Taylor and Courtney. Taylor clad in a navy blue ankle length dress with see through flower pattern sleeves, black slip on shoes and her hair in a bun. Courtney wore a slightly revealing black strapless knee length dress with a gold chest design, a black necklace and black hi-heels. They were dancing together, holding each other and, quite certainly, engaged in a rather passionate kiss.
Laughing softly, Sam nodded.
"I think you're right, good for them." She replied.
Once out on the dance floor, she and Ashley began dancing together. Simply being in Sam's presence helping Ashley forget her usual shyness, at least for a while. Looking around Sam spotted another of their friends, Josh. He was sitting by the snack table, clad in a maroon polo shirt, khakis and boots.
He was chatting away to Logan and Hayden. Both were respectively clad in a white dress shirt with black tie, his Blackwell letterman jacket, black dress pants and red sneakers and a dark green dress shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.
Still smiling Sam couldn't help but wonder.
'What are the others up to, where are they?'
She was certain however, wherever they were, the rest of their group were having just as much fun as she and Ashley were. After everything that happened, this was a welcome relief and one they intended to enjoy to the fullest.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
