Dancing Together
Bright lights moved around the room as music filled it. Students dancing together in couples in the middle, while some sat at the tables at the edges of the room. Noah sat at one of these tables waiting for Anna. She was nearly half an hour late. He continued looking out to the dance floor, hoping she would arrive.
Fallon walked in a few minutes later. She surveyed her surroundings searching for Noah. She had never been to a school dance, so this was new to her. She could see many students also in pretty dresses and men in suits. She looked to the tables, and saw Noah sitting by himself, looking sad. She walked over to him and sat down in the chair opposite his.
"Hey Noah. Why you so sad?" She asked, knowing the reason.
"I think I got stood up." He sighed looking at the table. He put his head in his hands, and Fallon could tell he was disappointed.
"Do you want to be my date? I came alone and your date isn't here." Fallon offered her hand to him. He looked at her consoling smile, then at her hand on the table. He looked back at her, then put his hand into hers.
"Sure." Fallon looked at his hand in hers and smiled. A memory flashed into her mind. It was the first day again, when Noah was offering his hand to help Fallon up. This time Fallon was offering to help Noah's spirits up. They stood up, still holding hands, and walked over to the dance floor.
"Look! A photo booth." Fallon pointed to the photo booth in the corner. She hadn't noticed it earlier, she must've missed it while searching for Noah. "We must have a photo." She practically pulled Noah over to the booth while he laughed. He didn't understand her, but he was happy to get photos to please her. After the photos had been taken, they both looked at the printouts that's been given. We look perfect together. Fallon thought, looking at the photo of the two of them. She looked over to Noah, who was smiling at the photo. He put it into the pocket of his suit, and Fallon put hers into her bag.
Half an hour later they were dancing together in the middle of the dance floor. Fallon looked around, and saw other couples dancing. She could see Hana and Theo together, as well as Victoria and a boy she assumed was Aiden. On the other side of the room was Jordan and Emily together. You go Jordan. She thought, smiling at him. She turned her attention to Noah as the music changed to something slower. He put his hands on her waist and lead her into a slow dance. She put her arms on his shoulders and allowed herself to be lead into the dance. She looked into his eyes as he looked into hers. Everything else disappeared from around her, and it was just Fallon and Noah.
