Acacia and Max had been dancing for a while. The evening had gone well, and somehow she had managed to avoid Tom for the entire evening. In fact, she wouldn't even had known he was there if she hadn't spied him once earlier and dived behind a pillar before he could see her. Now she was always keeping one eye on him and one eye on Max, which was frustrating as she had better things to do than watch for a man spurned. She took a moment off from her guard, and looked at the various couples around the room. James and Thea were dancing nearby and she smiled; they looked happy. She didn't know either of them particularly well, but had a strange feeling she would miss seeing their faces in a crowd of people. It was weird that come the Autumn she wouldn't be coming back here, ever, as a student, and knew that it would never be quite the same again. Come summer, and they were aliens in the school they had known for so long.
Feeling her eyes begin to mist over, she pulled away from Max slightly as a song ended and one she didn't particularly like started. She grinned at him, and fixed one of the clips in her hair. They were silver diamantes, that matched the silver on her heels and that laced her pale blue dress. Her Mom had splurged, probably because David had gone to his high school prom in an old suit of their father's.
"Can we go get a drink or something? My feet are killing me!" she said, feeling the need for a distraction from the nostalgia waching over her.
