Tomorrow was the day. The day we’d all been waiting for. The day of the Spring Dance. Truth be told, I was nervous. I wasn’t nervous about, like, asking someone or what I was going to wear. It was just… a /werewolf/ going to the Spring Dance with the prettiest girl in the school? /Werewolves aren’t bad/, I mentally chided myself for the third time that day. It was hard, sure, but I was trying. We were chatting in the twins’s room. Watching Harlow gazing out the window reminded me of Dusk. They had no one to ask them to the dance, and I figured they might enjoy seeing Welsburry for an extra day. I excused myself and ran down the hall, skidding to a stop outside my dorm. I went inside, grabbing a pencil and paper while sitting at my desk Dusk, Tomorrow’s the school’s Spring Dance. Kids who don’t go to the school are allowed in that day, and it lasts the whole afternoon. I was just wondering if you’d like to come. You don’t have to come as one of our partners if you don’t want to. If you just want to come and hang out that’s fine, or if you don’t want to come, that’s fine too. See you soon, maybe. -Wolf I enchanted the letter to go out the window, and paced my room for a few minutes while waiting for a reply. Wolf, I’d love to come. Your school looks amazing. Should I head over at the lunch bell? Thanks for inviting me! -Dusk Dusk, Yeah, come over at lunchtime. The dance will start shortly after. See you then! -Wolf I pushed the chair away from my dusk and went back to the twins’s dorm. The next morning, May 23, was quite a loud one for the school. I could hear conversations in almost every dorm. Naomi’s was no excuse, that was where the five of us had met up just before lunch. “So, everyone ready?” Naomi asked, replacing a book onto one of her shelves. I shook my head. “No.” We all laughed. “Okay, kind of… not really,” I amended. “For what it’s worth, I’m not either,” Harlow said quietly, messing with a strand of curls as she stared out the window. The lunch bell rang. The five of us raced down the steps and into the dining hall, where all of us, the twins, Naomi, Calli and I included, were inhaling our food. The five of us went into our individual dorms to get changed. I grabbed my outfit from the closet - a navy blue dress shirt and black pants. I was wearing sneakers, but they were brand new and solid black. I tried to clean up my untidy hair but gave up quickly. I took a few deep breaths, then opened the door and stepped outside. Brazen was already there, trying to get his red sweater straight. His brown dress pants complimented his dark green shoes nicely. Harlow came out first of the three girls. She was wearing a black dress, embroidered with fiery colors. Her hair was done in a braid, and her blue eyes sparkled in the light. Her shoes were black boots. She walked over to stand next to her brother. “You look good,” I heard him whisper. Next, Calli came out. Brazen’s jaw hit the floor and tried to go through it. She was wearing a knee length blue dress, with a blue rose peeking out of her hair. Her blue flats caught the light, the shine matching her smile. She moved next to Brazen and grabbed his hand. And finally, Naomi. I mean, I knew she was pretty, but this… this was gorgeous. Her sleeveless magenta gown almost touched the floor. Her long black hair was tied back in a bun, but it was falling out - whether intentional or not, it still looked amazing. Her dark purple shoes were barely visible under the shadow of her dress. She smiled, that small gesture lighting up the entire hall. “Ready?” I nodded. The five of us went down the steps, surrounded by thousands of other students going to the same exact destination, the courtyard and dining hall. The dance’s location. Harlow stopped by the main doors first. I’d told her Dusk was coming, and she was also going to get her date for the dance, Shadow. Shadow and Dusk both looked amazing as well. She had borrowed one of her mom’s gowns, I’m assuming. It was a starry night sky, and the trim touched the floor. Her black hair was down, but with a small part of it braided. And Dusk looked as much as a goddess as Naomi - their short, blue-streaked blonde hair matched perfectly with their sunset colored shirt and navy blue dress pants, their black short heels clacking on the floor. The seven of us claimed one corner of the dance floor as the music started. Naomi grabbed my hand and we took to the floor.
