(Y/n) - Your name

The last few days have been extremely hectic and busy. A first in my life really. My last HSC exam was just done 3 days ago and today, me and my friends were getting ready for our formal graduation party. All of us were at Natalie's house, getting our makeup on till we had to leave. I was helping Natalie into her dress without ruining her hair and makeup. Everyone else was ready.

"I'm so excited!" Sarah was squealing, jumping up and down.

"Chill! You're going to ruin your hair!" I chuckle as Kat tries to calm Sarah down. Ireland and Patricia were taking selfies and videoing us.

"And done!" I zip up Natalie and she turns around with a grin.

"We all have to take shots today!"

"First one to get drunk pays up." I smirk and everyone nods. Suddenly a loud honk was heard and we all look out Natalie's bedroom window.

"Kat! The limo is here!" Patricia screams in excitement, hugging her.

"Let's go girls!" Ireland quickly grabs her stuff and puts her shoes on and so do we. We walk down the stairs carefully to see Natalie's parents smiling.

"You all look gorgeous! We have to take pictures!" Natalie's mum takes us outside and we have a mini photo shoot.

"Mum, we have to go!"

"Ok ok. Have fun girls!" We al head to the limo and I enter first, getting comfy. The others slowly get in and before we know it, the car takes us to our destination.

"I'm hungry." Sarah says and everyone groans.

"We told you to eat something." Kat says.

"Here." I take out a large packet of chips and nuggets and everyone just laughs.

"I had a feeling (y/n) packed food in there."

"I'm surprised she didn't bring more." I chuckle and snag some nuggets to eat.

"Yo guys." I pick up a cold bottle and smirk. "Vodka anyone?"

"Bitch yes!" Patricia shouts and we all grab glasses.

"One cup guys. Don't want to get drunk on the way there." I fill everyone's glass to the top and we all drink. Tonight is going to be a good night.

I close the door behind me as the girls all talk and gawk over the guys that are here. All of them were here as plus ones since our school is an all-girls school.

"Where's my plus one!?" Sarah shouts out and drags me with her. We came as each other's plus ones since we all were single pringles.

"This place is beautiful." The venue was in the middle of a surrounding garden. The sky a bright blue above with apple trees just behind the venue. When I turned around, I saw a giant pool, the water a dark blue with many fountains.

"Holy shit. I'm excited to see the inside." Ireland exclaims and I nod. We all head inside and I shiver from the AC smacking me in the face.

"Spending over $300 was worth it." Natalie breathes out and I stand there in shock.

"Don't cry, don't cry." I look over at Patricia and chuckle. Poor girl is overwhelmed.

"Baby! Come take a picture with me!" I look over at who was shrieking and see the sluts of the school.

"Holy shit. We were correct! Look! Most of them ended up wearing the same dress!" I burst out in laughter as the others try to shut me up but laugh with me. There was a bet at school about who was going to wear the same dresses by accident. Most of the sluts were mad with each other and sulking in their seats when they realised they wore the same dress as each other. I pay them no more attention and head to a table close to the dance floor.

"Hey. Let's sit here."

"Sure." Everyone puts there bag down and I sit down in my seat. I was facing the dance floor and the photographer on the other side of the room where the slut leader, Katarina and her plus one were taking pictures at.

"I feel bad for the guy. Forced to be her plus one." Ireland says as she sat next to me.

"Look at him. He really didn't want to be here." I exclaim and the others look. He sighs as Katarina just clings onto him, puckering her lips. Her dress barely covered her body, just the privates really. The guy winces slightly but I caught it. The photographers take multiple pictures before the couple walks off to their group.

"Poor guy."

"Yikes."

"Worst company ever."

"He isn't going to have a fun night."

"Yep." I look around and notice a buffet table. I get up and walk over to it. "Huh. No alcohol. Damn." I say and casually lift the table cover without anyone looking. "Bingo." I saw crates of wine, whiskey, vodka and other drinks hiding under the table. "Number one spot to hide em." I walked back to my table and took my phone out, waiting for the others to come and sit down. I look up and revel in how beautiful the hall was, smiling at the sounds of everyone chatting and hugging each other. I took a video of the inside, my camera taking in the familiar faces of my classmates. I pause suddenly seeing Katrinas plus one sighing and looking bored. He looks up and sees me recording and I quickly stop, putting my phone away. I look up with guilt but turn into shock when I see the guy smile and wave at me. I smile softly and wave back. Everyone had finally arrived and sat down at their tables as waiters came around to serve us our first meal.

"This food better be worth it." Sarah mumbles and I nod.

"You ate all my spare food so yeah, I'm hungry and I'm gonna eat like a beast." I mumble, grabbing a small loaf of bread and eating it. Patricia and Ireland laugh and I join in as the others just shake their heads in amusement.

"There's a photo booth!" Natalie runs back to our table with Kat.

"Like a legit photo booth?" I stand up excited.

"Kinda. It's like an open photo booth. They have signs and props too!" Kat says and everyone stands up.

"Let's go take photos!" Sarah grabs my arms and I laugh as she drags me to the photo booth easily since I had taken my heels off. I was already in pain the moment I stood in my heels. I pout sadly seeing a line for the photobooth.

"Oh come on." I groan and Sarah sighs sadly. "Wait where is everyone?" she looks around but doesn't see the others.

"I'll stay here. Go get them." Sarah nods and runs off. As soon as she does, my shoulder gets shoved and I almost fall over. "What the fuck." I growl seeing Katrina run to the photo booth.

"I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" I hear an unfamiliar voice and turn around to see that it what Katrinas plus one. He stares at me in concern.

"Yeah, I'm ok." I nod and smooth my dress before looking back up at him. My god is he handsome. Holy shit.

"I'm really sorry about what happened." He mumbles sadly, his soft bubbly cheeks pushed out in a pout. How the fuck did he suddenly become so cute. What is this sorcery?

"Don't worry about it." I shake my hands and look towards Katarina taking pictures with her friends and their plus ones. I nod towards them in confusion. "You're not joining?" I look at Katarinas plus one and he shivers.

"No, I'm not really in the mood." He's lying. His eyes stare longingly at the photo booth.

"Why don't you join me?" I smile up at him and he looks down at me in shock. "Gonna look weird if I go by myself." His whole face instantly lights up with a huge smile and my heart melts. It was our turn soon and we ended up taking so many crazy pictures together before I had to take more with my friends.

The waiters were walking around once more to give us our final and 4th-course meal. I was already full by the third but the steak looked amazing.

"I don't think I can eat anymore. I have a food baby now." Patricia mumbles next to me. Ireland and Sarah casually walk to our table, chatting and giggling and I look at them with a raised brow.

"And what are you two ladies giggling about?" They both look at me with wide grins.

"Apparently there's a balcony here and we went to check it out. The view was amazing." Everyone on the table nods besides me.

"Wait you guys already knew about the balcony?" I say and Kat, Natalie and Patricia nod.

"We saw it when we went to go to the bathroom." Natalie shrugs and I stand up excited. Everyone chuckles knowing my love for high places and views from a balcony.

"I'll be right back!" Sarah and Ireland giggle mischievously but I ignore them and run to find the balcony. I exit our hall and end up in the foyer with the large stairs going up to the second floor. I see double doors at the end and run towards them, opening one of them. A strong gust of cold wind rushes past me and I shiver. I walk out and shiver from the cold ground hitting my bare feet. I gasp at the open view of the sun just setting and the sky turning dark. I sighed, my body sagging on the railings. I rest my head in my hands, watching the stars slowly coming alive in the now night sky. The moon was large and hung over the large beautiful garden.

"Beautiful."

"It is." I turn around slightly recognizing the voice. I smile at Katarinas plus one as he does the same, his eyes turning into cute moon crescents. "What are you doing out here?" I ask him and he shrugs as he rests against the railing next to me.

"It was getting stuffy in there a little."

"It was. You're Katarinas plus one right?"

"I am."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why would you agree to be her plus one. I can't stand to be near her." He chuckles, shaking his head.

"I just came. Thought it might be fun. Meeting new people. Doing something I don't usually do."

"Same. Dressing up like this is something I don't do. I have three moods. Lazy. First thing I see. And this."

"Lazy?" He grins, raising a brow at me as he looks down. "I can see, you're not wearing your shoes." He chuckles at me and I grin at him.

"I just wear sweats and a hoodie. You should've seen me at our retreat. My friends said I looked like a hobo."

"At least you were comfy."

"That's what I said!" we both laugh a bit before it goes silent again. 

Jimin stares at the girl that stood next to him, leaning on the railings and smiling at the view. His heart melted from her smile and her bright eyes as the moon lightly shone on her.

"Beautiful." He whispered again as the girl looked at him with a grin on her face. Jimin sighs happily at how happy this girl was next to him, enjoying the small things around her. Never in his life did he meet such a kind and beautiful soul such as the girl that asked him to take photos with her. Jimin was so glad that he came to this formal as a plus one. If he didn't, he never would have met the angel next to him. Jimin knew that he was falling in love with this girl, even if it was at first glance. 

Jimin wanted to give her the world.

Jimin wanted to give this girl all his love and be her home.

A couple of hours flew by and people were officially out of their minds. The alcohol ran dry the minute me and Katarinas plus one returned back to the hall. Luckily I grabbed a few bottles for myself. Music had started blasting through the whole and almost everyone got up to dance. I didn't like the music that was playing so I sat out. I see the gang all dancing together on the dance floor, having the time of their lives while I sat watching them. I smiled softly and sighed, glancing around the room. I turn back to face my 4th bottle of vodka in my hand, the clear liquid swishing in the glass confinement as my smile drops. I take large gulps and put the bottle down. humming to the rapper that was singing. The music suddenly changed and my eyes went wide as my whole gang screamed.

"THIS IS OUR SONG!" I screamed and jumped up, running to my friends and dancing with them, belting out the lyrics. Everyone else stopped and started recording us as we danced in perfect sync, and just screeching out the words. We were having so much fun, just laughing and jumping around as everyone else joined in too. I look up again and see Katarinas plus one smiling at me from across the room. I furrow my brows and waved at him to join us as he sat at the table. He shook his head slightly and I pout. Patricia suddenly grabbed both my arms and we started spinning around as I burst out laughing. The DJ had started playing the classics like the 'Macarena', 'Dancing Queen' and 'Want it that way'. My throat was sore by the end of screaming out the lyrics for Backstreet Boys and I went to go sit down as well as everyone else. Someone must have requested a slow song since 'Way Back Home' started playing. Everyone started to pair up to dance and I chuckled seeing Patricia, Sarah and Kat holding onto each other singing while Ireland and Natalie did the same. I close my eyes and sing along with the words, a smile on my face.

"Hey." I jump in my seat and open my eyes to see Katarinas plus one sitting in a chair opposite from me on our table, chuckling softly. My cheeks warm up from the embarrassment.

"Hey." I smile at him and he nods to the dance floor with the couples.

"You're not dancing?" I shake my head.

"I don't have a boyfriend to dance with." Katarinas plus one rolls his eyes at me playfully and stands up, giving me his hand. I raise a brow at him. 

"Well, don't leave me hanging." He gives me a closed eye smile, his cheeks looking so squishable.

"You sure? What about your date?" He just shrugs and takes hold of my hand, lifting me up from my seat. He pulls me onto the middle of the dance floor and I stand there, suddenly unsure of what to do.

"You don't have to do anything. Just follow my lead ok." I nod hesitantly and I look around at the other couples, my cheeks reddening from embarrassment. "Hey, it's ok. Just look at me." I look up at him and he smiles but that causes me to blush more. I look down at his shoes. They were very nicely polished.

"What now?" I ask and I jump slightly from feeling his hands lead mine around his neck. I know my face has gone fully red when I feel his hands on my waist, just above my hips. He was being respectful. I stare down at his feet the whole time, trying not to step on them as we softly moved side by side to the music. I just realised that I never caught his name this entire night.

"So does the barefoot girl have a name?" I look up at him and blink from the sudden question. He must've thought the same thing.

"(y/n). Does the plus one have one?"

"I'm Jimin." Jimin gives me another smile and my heart thumps against my chest. I smile brightly up at Jimin and he does the same to me. "Finally got a smile!" I chuckle softly and shake my head. The music vibrated through us, our hearts beating along with the song and I suddenly feel comfortable in his arms. I take a risk and move closer, wrapping my arms around his neck more and laying my head on his shoulder. Jimin makes no move to push me away but surprises me when he wraps his arms around my waist, bringing me closer to his chest. Jimin kisses the top of my head before resting his chin on top. I sigh out happily, feeling so right in his arms.

His warmth feels like I found my way back home.
