------------

I glanced around the ballroom, they had done an amazing job at decorating it. I was on the decorating committee (if you remembered I jointed the school committee) as well, but being new I was only in charge of buying the decorations and being bossed around, so I had no idea what it looked like.

The crystal chandelier glittered along with every other shiny decorations bouncing different colours light from the disco ball everywhere making a beautiful blue and purple hue in the room. Tables are set around the dance floor where there were already some people dancing. A band is playing at a corner in front of the double french door leading to the outside garden.

We all headed to find our table first, which happened to be right next to the door leading to the garden. So we were practically deaf to all things but the band. Not that they weren't good, but it's impossible to hear a word coming out of people's mouths.

So after a bit of complicated hand gesturing and body language we left our clutches at the table and all headed off to the dance floor. Since this isn't prom or anything there wasn't a seat down meal, more of a buffet with a long table of food and drinks for you at the side and set table where you can seat when you are tired and eat.

We all headed down to the dance floor and danced to the music. All the girls danced together for a while at first but some guys (cough*Jack and Greg *cough) got impatient and dragged their dates away.

By then everyone had arrived and it was getting pretty crowded and I was sweating slightly from dancing. The temperature in the room had soared from the heat radiating off all the bodies. I could tell everyone was having a great time.

I looked around for Will, but couldn't seemed to find him anywhere. I was starting to feel a little catastrophic by then so after letting out a frustrated sigh, I headed out to the garden for some fresh air. The garden was decorated with fairy light, it looked beautiful in the dark. I headed over a stone bench and sat down, resting my slightly sore feet and admiring the scenery.

'Hey beautiful.' I didn't know how long I sat there for before I heard Will's voice. I turned around to see him smiling down at me holding two glass of Pepsi. He sat down beside me and handed me a glass, I took a sip gratefully.

'What are you doing out here?' Will asked after we sat in comfortable silence for a while. I shrugged, 'the girls were dragged away by their dates and I needed a bit of fresh air.' I kept out the part where I went looking for him, knowing he would feel bad about it.

'Well sorry to have kept you waiting.' Will said looking slightly guilty, he knew me too well to have figured that I tried to look for him. He took the glass from my hand and set them down at the bench and held a hand out to me. 'May I?' he asked.

I smiled and took it and we headed back into the ballroom. I saw out of the corner of my eyes that Will waved at the band and the lead singer nodded back at him. 'What was that about?' I asked, curious, Will put a finger on his lips and put his hand on my waist.

'So here is the song that is requested for Anna from Will. Happy 3 months anniversary.' the lead singer spoke into the microphone, and then the band started playing Today was a Fairytale by Taylor Swift.

I put a hand over my mouth and felt tears prickling at the back of my eyes, remembering that 3 months ago was our first date and this was the song that played on the radio on the car ride. I looked up to see Will smirking at me. 'Didn't think I will forget such an important date now, did you?' He said, kissing my forehead.

Everyone around turned and looked at us, clapping and cheering before the lights dimmed and couples started to slow dance while others left the dance floor, leaving the dance floor to the couples.

I choke back the tears in my eyes, didn't want to ruin my make-up and end up looking like the corpse bride. Will pulled me closer to him, bending down and resting his forehead against mine. I stared into his chocolate brown eyes, enticed, as he said those 3 words to me.

'I love you, Anna bear.' He said, looking at me so sincerely, I can feel the tears coming back in full force as I tried not to erupted into fits of tears with the whirlwind of emotions erupting inside my chest, making me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Then I remembered he was waiting for my reply, so I opened my mouth, but an incoherent noise that sounds between a cry and a laugh escaped my mouth. I guessed I was just too emotional to speak.

'Ssssh, it's okay.' He said, wiping a stray tear that had escaped on my cheek, before I finally regaining my voice. 'I love you too, Will.' I choked, and I knew that I meant it. I have fallen completely and utterly in love with Will, and I am glad that he loved me too.

Saying it felt like a great rock had lift off my chest. I was too scared to say it, afraid that he won't feel the same way about me. I gave out another half-laugh-half-cry, Will laughed alongside me and we leaned in closer towards each other.

And then logically, we started making out.

We were in our own world for the next few hours, dancing hyperly to all the fast songs and making out during the slow ones. However at some point we were too out of breath and my heels were hurting a little too much so we went back to the table for some food and a rest.

'I see the love birds have decided to come out of their little bubble.' Alison teased as we sat down. Jake and her were also sitting down for a rest and some food. I rolled my eyes at her and decided just to ignore her.

'I will get us something to eat and drink.' Will said giving me a peck on the cheek before heading to the food table. I can't helped but smile, he is such a great boyfriend, and a gentleman, you don't get those a lot these days.

This time Alison rolled her eyes at me, then she seemed to have forgotten about being annoyed with me and scoped over to the seat next to me.

'I saw about half an hour ago that Hannah and that french dude were dancing it hot on the dance floor.' She whispered to me excitedly, so that Jake wouldn't over hear, not that he was paying attention anyway, too busy playing Angry Birds on his phone. He is so weird, who do that at a dance?

'Really?' I asked, equally excited and scanned the dance floor for a glimpse of them, but couldn't see them anywhere.

'I think they had disappeared to make out, much like you two were doing, just more discrete.' She said with a smirk, I slapped her on the wrist, that girl love teasing me a little too much.

'It was sooo sweet though, he dedicated a song to you!' Alison had switched back to her friend mode and said, I smiled and blushed, remembering how he said I love you to me.

'Oh, you have that dreamy look on your face, spill.' Alison squealed, and started shaking me back and forth demanding details. So I told her.

'OMG! That is sooo cute! You two are just soooo sweet together.' She squealed loudly, distracting Jake from his phone, he was about to asked what's going on when Will just happened to return with food, saving me from making an excuse. (there is no way in hell I will tell Jake Sharp what happened with me and Will, talk about awkward)

I looked pointedly at Alison so that she got the message to not to blurt it out to everybody and she nodded in understanding.

The rest of the night passed in a bliss. Alison and I caught Hannah and Oliver whispering to each other outside the girl's bathroom, they looked extremely guilty when they saw us, so we dragged Hannah into the girl's bathroom and made her tell us what's going on. It turned out Oliver had liked her for a while now and he can't helped but blurted it out because she looked so beautiful today, the two of them will be going to a date next week. Me and Alison mentally high-fived ourselves.

Melissa and Luke were also in their own world, while Olivia and Bethany had disappeared off somewhere with their dates, no doubt making out in some dark corners (actually, I spotted Olivia and Greg making up behind the curtain, it was more awkward for me since they didn't even noticed me). Lizzy and her date were rather civilized, danced a few dance and spent most of their time on the table.

At the end we were pretty much the last people to leave, since we spent half an hour alone trying to locate the making-out-couples. We got onto the limo with relatively high spirits but tired bodies.

Needless to say those four continued to make out on the limo, I snuggled up next to Will, my energy completely drained from all the dancing and activities that had gone on. Will put his arm around me and I snuggled closer to his chest.

'Did you had fun tonight?' He asked, I nodded giving him a quick kiss. 'Thank you for that dance.' I said. Then I must had drifted off to sleep for a while, because the next thing I know, everyone was gone but me and Will, who was shaking me awake gently.

'Hey, the limo had dropped everyone off now, the girls said they would get their stuff from you tomorrow. I didn't want to wake you up, you looked so peaceful and cute.' He said, smirking slightly. I hit his arm weakly, still half-asleep, pushing myself up to see that we had arrived at the front of my house.

'You should have woke me up!' I said, searching for my clutch. He shrugged and opened the door for me to get out. I got off groggily, waved Will goodbye before heading back inside.

My mum was already asleep, she left a note saying that if she found Will in my room tomorrow morning I would be grounded for the rest of Christmas. I smiled at that before taking off my heels and dragged myself up to my room.

My eyes widened slightly as I took in my room, I shook my head to make sure that I wasn't having any hallucination. Someone had put red rose petals all over my bed and floor. There was a huge bouquet of lilies on my bed with a giant teddy bear who was holding a box.

I edged closer to my bed in a trace, this felt like a dream. I saw a card on the box, I opened it and it was from Will.

Dear Anna,

Happy 3 months anniversary! I hope you like my presents. If you were wondering how I pulled this off, the girls already know about this through Alison and you mum, I got back for a while from the ball when you were dancing with them and set this up. I wish I can see you face right now, but your mum would have kill me.

Love

Will

I had never felt so touched in my entire life, not even when I watched Titanic. I wiped a tear off my cheek, he was so sweet. Oh crap, I didn't get him anything, got to go look for something tomorrow! Thank god it's weekend so I had plenty of time to look around.

I shook my head a little, trying to take in the scenes around me once more, I was so tired that I wasn't even all that sure whether or not this is a dream, I somehow managed to slipped out of my dress and into my Pjs, brushed my teeth and removed my make up and fell asleep upon the pedals hugging the giant teddy bear with a smile on my face.

---------------------

I realise that this is turning into a rather long story, which is always the case when I try to write. I am at least 1/3 of my way if not half way through the story now! hopefully I will wrap it up before summer ends :)
