The Dance

I think the others could see I was a little weak in the knees because when we walked into the auditorium, where the dance was happening, Carrie gave me some cranberry juice to help me cool down.

Once I took a sip, I could finally look at what the dance looked like.

Everything looked so fancy! It looked more like a prom than a Sadie Hawkins Dance. The large auditorium had been beautifully decorated. The walls were adorned with shimmering curtains and string lights. Hanging stars and paper lanterns created a dreamy atmosphere on the ceiling. The DJ played music that filled the room, and the dance floor was alive with energy. Couples and friends danced and everyone was dressed up and looked good. There were tables set with floral centerpieces with a separate table for punch and refreshments on the side. Alicia had really done a number on the decoration!

Aside from the people dancing, there were students around the edges of the auditorium , bundled up in their respective groups. In one corner, I spotted Mr. Gibbons and Ms. Cramling. They were looking around the room. There were also some other members of the faculty walking around. They were probably keeping an eye out for any trouble.

Within a minute of our walking in, Alicia came to greet us.

"You guys made it," she said in a bubbly voice. "It took you long enough, though..."

"You know I'm never the first to arrive at an event," Lisa replied with a snooty attitude.

We were all paying compliments to Alicia, on how great the dance looked. She thanked us, explaining how it was a lot of work but it was all worth it.

Then, Alicia turned the attention to another topic.

"But Erica, enough about the dance... Look at you! You look HOT!"

"Haha, thanks Alicia." I blushed. I knew everyone was surprised because I never dressed up, but it was still nice to hear compliments.

"Damn, Erica! You look so fancy... I wonder what the girls made you do for this kind of treatment," she joked.

"COUGH... I... COUGH COUGH!" I choked on my cranberry juice as Alicia said that. Carrie and Lisa exchanged a naughty smile between them. "NO, I..."

"...We made sure this broken clock came dressed correctly tonight," Lisa interrupted, mocking me but saving me from embarrassing myself any further.

Alicia laughed. "Hahaha! Alright girls, let's go have a good time! And don't forget to vote for King and Queen before the announcement!" she said with excitement.

"King and Queen of a Sadie Hawkins dance?" I inquired.

"Don't think too hard about it," Carrie laughed pulling Alicia to the dance floor.

John and Henry had already gone over to meet up with other boys while we were talking. Lisa walked off without saying anything.

I looked around and it was just me and Kate. I blushed a little.

"I don't think I can dance with these heels..."

She just smiled. "We can dance later... I want to see something first." She held my hand and started walking. Soon enough we were by the door to the halls. She looked around and when none of the faculty were looking, we dashed into the halls. Most of the school was dark and empty. She pulled me by the hand and into an unlocked, empty classroom.

She closed the door behind us and before I could ask what we were doing in a secluded corner of a dark classroom, she pinned me to the wall and kissed me.

I was taken by surprise. Our lips finally met... Kate's kiss was confident. A blend of tenderness and assurance. As our lips gently brushed together, a rush of emotions washed through my body. I was already feeling hot from before and this kiss was doing something else. Her touch was firm, holding me by the waist... And it felt like a spark had ignited inside me.

The doubts that had haunted me earlier seemed to vanish for a moment. Kate's kiss was passionate. It felt like she wanted me. I almost didn't have time to breath. Maybe she saw something in me? Something beyond a girl streaking school naked with just a mask.

I felt weak in the knees. She was kissing me... Holding me up... Preventing me from melting onto the floor. I felt her hand began to move up my back, taking hold of the zipper of my dress and slowly pulling it down.

Oh my God, was this moving too fast? I didn't know. All I could think about was Kate's lips on mine. I felt her tongue dance on my mouth... Where did she learn how to do this?

She stopped kissing me for a second, just as the zipper reached its lowest point. The only thing holding my dress up was her arm around me.

"I wanna see what I felt in the limo," she whispered in my ear. Her hot breath made me shiver once again.

I was so taken by the moment I couldn't even speak. I just blushed and nodded my head.

She let go of my dress, taking a step back and my dress fell to my feet, revealing the royal blue lingerie I had put on earlier.

"Step out of it," she commanded.

I stepped out of the bunched up dress on the floor, wearing nothing but a completely see through blue lingerie and heels. I was blushing... My nipples were hard, and Kate could see them as well as my crotch, clear as day! I kept my arms at my sides and Kate looked me up and down with a smile.
