Sophie:

I was getting ready for the first of three dances; Fitz would be my date. I couldn't ignore the slight tremble of nerves in my stomach as I started getting ready. I couldn't tell if it was the start of something or what I had recently eaten.

I wiggled into my dark blue dress, the committee had finally chosen, and I frowned. I was missing something, it didn't feel right. Then I found it, placed delicately in the box the committee had returned to me, after careful inspection of the dress, there was a little crown and some earrings.

I put on a light layer of lip gloss and Mom did my eyes. It was a little sparkle and some mascara.

"Honey, you look absolutely gorgeous. I want you to know that, no matter what, Grady and I will completely support you in your decision," she said, giving me a hug, and chocking up a little.

"I know mom," I whispered.

With a faint knock, I knew it was time to go. Fitz was probably waiting for me downstairs.

Biana:

I smiled as I let my hair tumble down in brown waves over the blue fabric of my dress. Dex would arrive shortly, and the mere thought of him coming caused my heart to beat faster. I felt like I was going to be sick with all the butterflies in my stomach.

I was ready to ignore what everyone thought of me tonight as long as it meant I'd get to have Dex by my side.

Linh: Fredrick was going to take me to the dance today. To say I was bummed that certain boys hadn't asked me is an understatement. I couldn't believe Fitz would crawl right on back to Sophie after they established they just wanted to be friends.

It's this whole stupid matchmaking list's fault. If she wasn't his number one--I let out a sigh. There's no use in getting upset and jealous over something inevitable. Fitz would go after Sophie, though I'm unsure whether the same feelings were requited.

I looked at myself in the mirror, the deep purple shades working nicely with my complexion. I knew Tam wanted to go with Biana, but I could also tell that Biana liked Dex. I was too much of a coward to tell him that she's moving on from her slight crush on him.

This is it, I couldn't help think, as I turned on my heel.

It's now or never, time to shine.

Sophie:

Fitz hooked his arm through mine and he had a silly grin on his face.

"Thanks for excepting my request to be your date," he said in a mock posh voice, making me laugh.

"In all seriousness, you understand that this may or may not go somewhere," I said indicating our relationship.

"Sophie, gosh, how many times are you going to push the possibility of us away?" He asked looked at me with those teal blue eyes.

"I don't want you to get hurt," I said looking up at him.

"It hurts more that you won't give it a chance to become something," he whispered looking away.

We walked in an awkward silence; way to start the night on a high note.

"Fitz I-" I stopped, not knowing how to complete my sentence.

"Just-just let me dance with you once tonight," he said quietly.

"Of course! Though it might not be much dancing, and more of an elephant learning how to rollar skate while painting a sunset," I joked.

Fitz gave me an easy smile, trying to mask the lack of confidence he now had because of me.

I grabbed his hand, "Come on! The party's inside!"

~~~

Inside immediately I was hit by pretty lights and giant dresses. The guys were lucky; they got to wear pants.

I immediately found Biana and Linh, they were both squealing when they saw each other. Instinctively, I ran up to them, and tripped over the huge dress I was wearing.

The most embarrassing part was I needed both Fitz and Tam's help to get back up on my feet.

"Dresses and fancy dances aren't really my scene," I said, trying to justify the previous events while trying to hold onto the remaining dignity I had.

Biana and Linh were trying to hold in there laughter.

I let out a laugh at the sight of them and gave them hugs, shouting out compliments of how great they looked.

"You guys look gorgeous, seriously," I gushed when I felt a hand tap my shoulder.

I turned around to only find the breath knocked out of me.

Keefe looked like he was going to say something, but then stopped as he gave me a once over. His hair was the disheveled styled blonde mess that made me want to run my hands through it over and over again.

"Sophie, y-you-" he froze, blushing, as his eyes met mine. "You look absolutely stunning."

The intensity of his eyes made me look away.

I cleared my throat, trying to keep my emotions in check, "So who's your date?"

"I actually have three tonight," he said with a smug smirk, making my mouth drop.

"What?" I breathed out, my heart dropping to my toes.

"Yeah, each one is very beautiful. You ready for their amazing names," he whispered.

"I guess," I shrugged trying to not care.

"It's me, myself, and I," he said with a pause.

I gave him a look, and he started laughing.

"Nice to know you care Foster," he winked while walking away.

"May I have this dance?" Fitz cut in with a small smile.

I nodded, "Of course."

Fitz lead me to the dance floor and we danced until a slow song came on. My hands got sticky and clammy. I felt nervous, like I'd make a fool out of myself.

Fitz placed his arms on my hips, drawing me closer to him. I found myself placing my arms around his neck, and we swayed to the beat of the music.

He spun me slowly and held me tightly against his chest; I could feel his heart beating faster.

The song was ending, and I was confused as to where this all was going.

"Fitz I--"

"Sh," he whispered, and he leaned in, kissing me.

It was soft and gentle, so Fitz like. It was how I expected kissing Fitz would be like.

What I didn't know was how wrong it felt until I had to push him away.

Biana:

I was talking to Linh when I felt Dex lean up against me and tickle my sides. I squirmed and he gave me a peck on the cheek.

"You're breathtaking," he whispered kissing my cheek again.

"Thanks," I said, my voice hitching in my throat.

Linh hurried away with a smile on her face, like she knew something good was going to happen.

I turned around, facing Dex. 

"Um, I was wondering, you see," he fumbled.

"Umhm?" I asked while rubbing my thumb on his hand.

"If you felt like dancing, with me," he gulped.

I broke out into a big smile, "Of course!"

We danced the night away; slow, fast, you name it we did it. 

It was, by far, the best night of my life.
