Elodie May DeLoughrey
You’re different from a lot of the others.
It was a simple statement that could bring a smile to Elodie’s face and as much as she wanted to let that happen now, it was hard. She was still processing what he said, still trying to understand what that actually meant and how important it might be. Who would’ve thought a guy she fake dated was… that. Someone she’d possibly be in contact with for a very long time. But Elodie soon frowned hearing Kai wasn’t actually supposed to be there, figuring there was so much behind it, so much he was hiding like a lot of people she knew. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, giving him a soft smile. “Wow… I remember wishing you luck when I saw you at prom when… you… knew,” chuckling, she lightly shook her head, now feeling embarrassed just thinking about that interaction. “Hey… I have to go and get ready, but I’ll talk to you later?” She nervously continued, trying hard to mask that with a smile before walking away from him and heading to the changing room.
Nervous. She was more than that. Standing in front of a dress that was left for her, she almost decided not to do her tasks. It would just be easier, less stressful. She wouldn’t embarrass herself. But she’d come so far… That was the only thing making her want to complete them. So that’s what she’d do. Grabbing the clothes she brought with herself, she changed into that and was now waiting for her turn in a Cher from Clueless outfit. Fun. But that wasn’t as bad as what was supposed to happen soon. And her heart was beating. Maybe her decisions weren’t the best and that’s what she kept thinking about until she noticed it was her turn to walk. Elodie might’ve talked to a few people to switch places with a girl that was originally supposed to walk after Riker… for her own reasons. It seemed like a very good idea… until it was time to actually do that. “Go,” she heard a voice from the side, making her force a smile before she finally stepped out.
And there she was. In her yellow outfit. Walking on the wrong side. But confidently walking on the wrong side because there was something she wanted to do, something that took a lot of courage. Walking right towards Riker, Elodie looked anywhere but at him, at first. She was looking around, smiling at students looking at her, with her hands on her hips and a confident walk - something Adriana Lima taught her. Having a successful dad had its perks. That was until she was close enough to Riker to stop them both and place her hands on the side of his neck, give him a gentle kiss before doing a little spin and continuing walking, just hoping her cheeks weren’t as red as she thought they were. Hoping she didn’t look stupid. Hoping he wouldn’t mind that.
