Ruby's POV

Blake and I just had an interesting conversation about Harry Potter that I had fun with. I watch him look out the window until suddenly he says," we're here!"
Justin and Rosetta look up from their ninth round of rock-paper-scissors. I smile,"we are!?"
He looks at me,"yep."
We get out of the minivan, thank Justin's mother, and walk to the doors of the dance. I look over and see Justin and Rosetta almost holding hands.
"Excuse me a second," I mutter to Blake. I sneak over behind them and gently push their hands together.
"Ruby!"exclaims a bright red Rosetta.
"Whaaat? I didn't do anything," I say in a teasing voice and wink.
"Ugh,whatever"
I go back to walking by Blake, but do notice that they started to hold hands. Blake seemed to noticed too, considering the fact that he grabbed mine. I blushed.
We walk through the doors and are ambushed by our friends. They pull us away from each other and I tell Blake that I'll get away from them soon so we can hang out.💗
We go to where our friends are sitting and I do a head count. With us were, Kris and Kailin, Chailen, Tey, and Makala. I glare at the last. Rosetta whispers in my ear," we're missing Jule and Lyra."
"Yah, Jule doesn't like the dances, but I'm surprised Chailen is here, it took a lot of convincing," I say.
"I can guess where Lyra is..."she starts.
"Sleeping!"we say in unison, and crack up laughing.
"Omg...I can't believe you guys came with dates...which one brought you...have you held hands yet...when are you going to dance...you two should go out with them!"the girls say all at once.
Rosetta and I try to answer the questions and comments,"yah, we came with 'dates', Justin's mom brought us, we have held hands..."at this the girls squealed,"we're going to dance later tonight, and we're not old enough to date yet."
I sigh, and get my breath back.
I look at Rosetta and ask,"want to go hang on the dance floor?"
"Sure"
We walked out onto the floor and I realize my favorite song was on, Call Me Maybe, by Carly Rae Jepson.
We danced around until suddenly, it was interrupted.
"Hey, that was my jam," I call out, among other protests.
"Now I know that a lot of you liked that song, but we have something to announce," our school counselor says into the microphone," it's time for the Lord and Lady of the dance!"
"Whooo!" Everyone cheers.
"For our sixth grade Lady we have Ray Griffen."
"Yay!"I call out. She's one of my friends from the after school place I go to.
Ray gets presented with a tiara and Mrs. Ev announces the Lord,"our Lord for sixth grade is...Joseph White!"
"Yaah," I say, a little less enthusiastically, considering the fact that I was more or less related to him and he was pretty annoying.
Mrs. Ev places a crown on Joseph's head. "Now for the 7th grade Lady and Lord. The seventh grade Lady is...Ruby Wood!"
I gasp, mee!?!?!? I slowly walk up onto the stage and feel my face burning. I know what's coming next, she's going to choose the Lord. I think, please let it be Blake, please let it be Blake.
"And the Lord is..." please let it be Blake,"Blake Young!"
Yess.
He walks up and smiles at me. I blush.
Mrs. Ev gives me a pretty crown of flowers, and Blake a paper crown that looks like its from Burger King.
Now she's announcing the eighth grade Lord and Lady, but I don't really care who they are.
"And now it's time for the slow dances between the two winners of each grade! They will start the main slow dance and everyone else will join in after them!"
