another song, which was from Justin Bieber. Usually, I wouldn't dance to Justin, but I figured tonight was going to be full of surprises.
"Let's go," I said to Michael.
Michael looked at me as he took my hand.
Ashley and Eva, as well as the rest of Belmont, watched as we went out on the dance floor. The pounding beats of Justin's latest song were going strong from the speakers as I started to find the rhythm to the beat. Michael went behind me and started to dance with me. He grabbed my waist and put me closer to him. I felt like he and I were the only two people in the gym as we were dancing a little too close on the dance floor. Some people had shocked expressions on their faces while most of the girls were wishing it were them Michael was dancing with. Even though I wasn't dressed in the best attire for dancing, I didn't care. I was just in the groove with a guy I thought was the most perfect man here.
When the song was over, I looked at Michael and smiled. We had the crowd watching our every move, which was starting to become annoying now. I looked over the dance floor and noticed Danielle by the refreshment table giving me a cold stare. I looked at her and gave her a mean stare back. I was sick and tired of Danielle and her childish behavior. Michael did not and never would want her, so she needed to get over it. I looked over at the table and saw Eva, Ashley, Brandy, and Kim talking up a storm. I knew those four would get along fine. As we walked back over to the table, Ashley looked at the two of us and smiled.
"From the looks of it out on the floor, it looked like you two were having sex."
"Ha, ha. Real funny," I said while sitting down.
"When are we going to Range?" asked Eva.
"In a few. Don't worry, we're not staying long," I said.
"We can go now if you want. Believe me, this is how it going to be the entire night," Michael said.
We looked at each other and started to get up from our seats. When we did, Mr. Davis went onto the stage. He looked at the crowd with a happy expression on his face.
"Is everyone enjoying the dance tonight?"
Everyone started to clap or yell out in the crowd.
"Good. Now I would like to announce this year's homecoming king and queen."
I looked at the crowd and noticed everyone was talking at once. I didn't care who was homecoming king and queen. All I wanted to do was leave the dance so I could have some real fun.
"First is homecoming king. This year's king is no other than Michael Collier."
The crowd started to go crazy after Mr. Davis announced Michael's name. Michael stopped walking and turned around to the stage as the spotlight nearby shined on him. He looked at me and started to walk up to the stage. As soon as he arrived, Mrs. Donald, the assistant principal, gave Michael a crown and cane and whispered in his ear. He smiled and went up to the microphone and looked out to the crowd.
"Thanks guys for voting for me. This means a lot. Thanks again," he said as he went over to the royal high chair that was behind Mrs. Donald.
Mr. Davis smiled at Michael and turned around to the crowd. I was happy for Michael winning homecoming king. I wondered who homecoming queen would be. Whoever it is, I don't want to watch the girl sharing her title with him.
Mr. Davis looked at the piece of paper he had in his hand and smiled.
"Now for our homecoming queen." he said as he open up the paper. He looked at it with a surprised look on his face.
"Turns out the winner is a write in. This year's homecoming queen is Charlie Perry."
I looked up at Mr. Davis as if he lost his mind. How could I be homecoming queen? I've only been going to this school for four days! I looked at my friends, who all had huge grins on their faces.
"Congratulations, girl," Brandy said as she gave me a hug. She gave me a wink after we pulled apart.
I had a feeling Miss Edwards had something to do with the voting.
"Thanks Brandy, for the votes," I said silently.
"What do you mean? I didn't do any such thing,"
"Let's go," I said to Michael.
