Day 17 of 100 Days of Seddie Challenge: High School Dance
"Come on Sam, you have to go to the dance! It's our last ever dance so it will make memories for all of us!"
"But Carly..." I whined. Our last ever high school dance was coming up and I really was not in the mood to go, but to make my best friend happy, I knew I was going to have to go anyway.
"Please Sam! For me?" she said, putting her hands together as if she was about to pray.
"But I have no one to go with! You're going to Brad and I'm going to be alone."
"I hear Freddie's not going with anyone, maybe you should go with him," she said.
WHAT? She wanted me to ask Freddie to the dance. Was she nuts? Had she completely and utterly and emotionally and physically lost her mind? I stared at her with the most wide open, shocked eyes I could make.
"Are you serious Carly Shay? You want me to ask Freddie to the dance? You have so lost it," I said sitting down on the couch.
"Sam, I know you might not be the most perfect friends in the world but he is your best friend, and mine too, and I know that you do care about each other, even if you don't show it. I'm not asking you to marry the guy, I'm just asking that you go to the dance together so neither of you get lonely. Is that so much to ask?" Carly said putting her hands on her hips.
She did have a point. A dance would be way more fun than hanging at home doing nothing. And even if the dork might not be the first person that I would choose but he was my best friend as much as I didn't really say it (and want to say it), I loved him for always being there for me.
"Urgh, fine, I'll ask him!"
"Great!" Carly said jumping once in the air. Right, I am going to pick out both of our outfits! Ask Freddie now, we have only three hours until the dance!"
I groaned and got off of the couch as Carly ran up the stairs to her room. I slowly walked over to Freddie's apartment and knocked on the door. He answered it a few seconds after I knocked.
"Hey Sam, whatcha need?" he asked me.
"Do you wanna go to the dance with me?" I asked him as soon as he got the last of his words out.
"W-what?" he stuttered.
"I mean, as friends. Seeing as we're both not going with anyone I thought it might be...fun to go together," I clarified.
"Urr...sure," he said simply.
"Um...wow, okay then. I'll see you later then; I'm getting ready over at Carly's so just come over to Carly's whenever we need to go." I couldn't believe he'd agreed to go with me. For some reason butterflies started to flutter in my stomach. Stupid feelings.
"Okay, see ya then," he said and shut the door.
I walked back into Carly's apartment and went upstairs to her room where she had laid two dresses out in front of her. One was a blue dress that had little straps and was quite short and the other was a light pink dress that was strapless and the same sort of length as the blue one. I guessed the blue one was mine.
"Freddie said yes, so I'm going with him," I said to Carls.
"Great," she said in a bored sort of voice. "Now go and put this on," she said shoving the dress into my hands.
I did as I was told and went into her bathroom to put the dress on. It fit well and it actually looked nice on me, it hugged my curves very precisely. I walked out of the bathroom to see that Carly had put on her dress, too. She looked extremely pretty in it and it fit her nicely.
A few hours later we were ready to go. Carly had done my hair nicely, it was curly but put to one side and clipped into place and Carly had curled her hair. My makeup fit my complexion just right and so did Carly's. We were ready to go with our small heels and matching-to-our-dresses bags. A knock on the door downstairs made my heart race as I realised it was Freddie.
"Hey, hey," I said to Freddie as I walked down the stairs slowly, trying not to trip over. Freddie was wearing a Fred Perry shirt with jeans. Even if he was going as casual he looked perfect. Okay, what the hell was I saying, did I just say he looked perfect? Maybe I was the one that was losing my mind...
"Hey," he said, looking me over. "Wow, you look...wow. I hardly ever get to see you look like this," he said smiling.
"Yeah, and you hardly ever will again. Let's go!" I said heading towards the door.
"Isn't Carly coming with us?" Freddie asked.
"Nah, she's waiting for Brad to come and then they're going to meet us there. We better go before all of the nice food leaves the table at the dance."
"Typical Sam, always about food..." he said quietly, intending me to hear.
We got to the dance a few minutes after everyone else came and we made our way into the main area. There were lots of dancing teens and I recognised almost all of their faces. They were looking at how me and Freddie were together and I started to feel like I wanted to punch all of them, but a girl in a girly dress does not look intimidating enough to go around punching people, so I tried to calm down.
"Oh look, there's the snack table!" I said, grabbing his hand and dragging him over. There was a wide selection of food on the table and I started to pick from almost all of the trays of food.
After a few hours of non-stop party music, the DJ decided to slow it down a bit. I had been dancing with Carly, Brad and Freddie, but just in a group. I hadn't actually gotten to dance with anyone properly the whole night, but I had a feeling I wasn't going to at all. The DJ announced that it was a song for the couples out there and if you weren't a couple with anyone, to grab the closest person to you and dance with them. I decided I was going to sit out for this song, so I started to walk towards a chair when someone caught my wrist.
Freddie looked down at me with his deep chocolate brown eyes and said, "What's the point in coming to a dance without actually dancing with anyone?" he asked. He took the words right out of my head. "Will you dance with me, Sam?"
I was a little taken aback but I nodded and accepted his request. We went back to the middle of the dance floor and I put my hands around his neck and he put his hands around my waist. It felt nice dancing with him and I didn't normally say anything was nice like this. It felt safe, warm and it felt like home dancing with Freddie and I desperately wanted to pull him closer. He smiled at me and I smiled back.
He started to lean forwards and I did too and right there, in the middle of the dance floor, my lips caught onto his lips and we were kissing. It was like sparklers had just exploded from my tingling lips and my head and I didn't want to be anywhere in the world but here.
We pulled apart and Freddie looked at me and smiled again and a huge grin spread across my face. That God I had Carly to get me to come to the dance with Freddie!
Sorry about the last line, I know it's not great but I had to end it! I'm sorry! Right, review!
