Elijah’s eyes wandered around the venue where chandeliers and twinkling lights roamed above the dancing students heads, and the sounds of heels clicking against the dancefloor grazed his ears. Cerulean High always had great taste in parties but this was next level. Some minutes later, they stood near the food table. Now they were faced with a decision to a question that more than likely entered each of their minds at least once; How they were going to dance. The first person that was on Elijah’s mind was Richard but he didn’t want to make the first move to risk being the one leaving anyone out. Instead he stood there with a drink in his hand, idley watching the people in front of him. Richard suddenly spoke up and suggested he and Sammy dance before going off somewhere else. So, in response to that, he took Sammy’s hand like a true gentleman and led her to the dance floor. It was…a strange feeling to dance with Sammy to a slow song. The last time they dated it seemed like so long ago, but the chemistry they had as friends made up for the awkwardness of being exes. She was still a fun presence to have around. He spun her around and dipped her almost to the floor which was followed by laughter.
Elijah’s eyes met Richard’s as soon as he came back from wherever he was, and when he and Sammy split apart, he immediately grabbed Richard and pulled him closer. A spark seemingly went off between them. They’ve never been this close before. As they were dancing, Elijah had the urge to kiss him, but didn’t because he was still too shy. Instead they moved to the music, their eyes telling another story. All of a sudden, Sammy came back and moved herself in between them. Elijah didn’t know exactly what was going to happen so he just laughed. Then, his face slowly morphed into a surprised - still expression when he saw that Sammy was dancing with Richard - excuse me on Richard. Her body leaned unto his in such an elegant manner, while her golden dress complimented her body nicely. Why am paying attention to her body in this way. Sammy what are you doing, I’ve never seen you dance like this. Those were the thoughts that passed through Elijah’s mind. This was so strange. It was like they were doing this on purpose. Was he in some sort of sit - com? Elijah forced himself to look up from Sammy out of being “uncomfortable” to Richard again. That was a mistake. Now Richard was looking at him which made this even weirder…but it sparked some sort of jealousy turned arousal for a split second. As if he was saying “come closer.” Nah that was just in his dirty mind. These unexpected feelings made him confused. “Sammy you’re stealing the show” He joked, unknowingly stepping closer to them.
