The DanceA Story by benjamminghamThis is a combo of the songs Sadie Hawkins Dance by Relient K and All About Us by He is We...it changes when they are at the dance...Hope you enjoy <3.
It was my freshman year. You know how it is...
We were going to have an annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, which meant that a girl would be asking me- hopefully. Honestly, I would say yes to anyone (which is pitiful I know), but I hoped that Jules would ask me. Who is she? The most beautiful girl in the world- a real stunner! I had been on my way back from the bathroom when I heard her in the girls bathroom. She was talking excitedly with some other girls, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. It was either Asian or amazing, and both could be about me....so suffice it to say Ithat I WAS STOKED. I made my way back to Language Arts classroom where I was due to give a speech. As I was wrapping up I saw her slip into the back. So, like an idiot, I rattled off one of my cheesy puns. Nobody laughed. I got a chuckle from the teacher, but in that moment it was pretty clear that I was a idiot. FACEPALM. I was moping. I was chugging down the hallway with my head down. I didn't notice that I was going to run into Jules until the last second. I stumbled and dropped all my books. "Smooth," she said. Emberrassed, I gathered my things and picked them up. And then I saw that she was joking. She laughed and said "Hey I know this is weird, but I...uh...was wondering...ifyouwantedtogotothedancewithme?" I was SO surprised. Then again thats how it is every year right? I remembered that I was to play ir cool, so I said, "Yeah! That would be awesome. Wow...I'm really excited. I will...uh...see you there..." As I prepared, I couldn't decide what to wear. Then I suddenly remembered- Khakis!! AT THE DANCE She looked so gorgeous. It was almost indescribable. Actually it WAS indescribable. We submitted a song to the DJ which was Not Alone by Darren Criss. Then we headed out to the dance floor. We danced and talked with friends for a bit until she said "Do you hear that, love? They're playing our song!" "Yeah but I can't dance..." "Just give it a try, it'll be alright" And as my nerves began to go into ovverload, she led me to the floor. "Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance." "Uhh...ok..." "Here let me lead. Don't worry you can step on my feet, I'm not going to cry." And she taught me to dance. The room quieted down and we swayed to the sound of Darren and his piano. I gradually realized that it was only us on the dance floor. A spotlight was shining on us as we moved to the beat, but I stayed calm. In that moment, with our eyes locked, it was just her and me. All about us, at The Dance.
