Homecoming 2012

[Lina Rey Parson]

Smiling, she took one of his hands, and backed up a little. "And now, we dance," she said, and used his hand to spin in a circle, this time in time to the music. Every time there was a synth swoosh sound, she would spin. Then, on the bass notes, she would just rock her hips and smile. Sure, it was goofy, but that was Lina. She let go of his hand to wave her fingers around in the air, sticking out her tongue and pulling a face. Maybe goofy was too tame a word for Lina...

"This old thing?" Shoshana asked while looking down at it with a dainty smile on her heart-oval shaped face. "It was deep inside my closet." she explained before laughing softly, "It was an adventure searching for it." she said with a grin. It was true, she had bought the dress a while back but hadn't had an occasion to show it off.

The purple color on her eyes made her chocolate brown eyes pop, her gaze was fixed in Derek's eyes. There was a great amount of guys in here and they all were handsome but Derek was Shoshana's choice. She looked to the dance floor and the people dancing. It had been quite a while since she's danced in a public place. Of course she doesn't let a rhythm escape away when she's alone in her room but in a crowd full of people? It hasn't happened for a while.

Derek was a party kind of guy, wasn't he? "Want to dance?" she offered him, there was no shame in a lady asking a man to dance. That rhythm was infectious.

Lina noticed him not dancing, and when he poked her tongue she scrunched up her face and laughed. Putting her tongue back in her mouth where it belonged, she just shrugged. "I'm having fun!" She shouted over the music. It was true - sure, she couldn't dance, but she liked acting silly. She was like a big kid at heart sometimes, which was why little kids liked her so much. "I don't know, I can't dance so I just..." she waved her arms and moved her hips and just did whatever she wanted for a few seconds.

She stopped herself and then looked at him. "You don't dance," she noted, and then shrugged. "Do you wanna go get a drink?"

[Derek Mathaw]

Derek chuckled softly under his breath at her very laid back way of mentioning how the dress was just in her closet. 'This old thing' she had said, as if it weren't a total statement piece. She looked amazing! He grinned when she asked him if he wanted to dance, and just raised an eyebrow. "Is that even a question?" he teased, his eyes flickering with a light of excitement. Walking towards the dance floor arm-in-arm, he gently un-linked them when he reached the edge of the dancing mass of people. The song wasn't too slow or too fast, just a smoothly paced pop song. He wasn't exactly sure how to dance to it - there were a lot of kids grinding or goofing off, and not a lot of people actually dancing...

[Danny Dubois]

Danny leaned back in his chair, one arm over the back because he's a badass like that. He was sitting with Jett and had been for a good twenty minutes now, just watching as everyone arrived and started dancing. They'd talked a little bit, mostly about games and shoes, but for the past few minutes.. they'd said nothing. And Danny was uncomfortable.

"Hey man... wanna go dance or something? I mean like.. not together but just. Yknow. To get off our asses. Cuz this plastic chair is making mine numb," he said in a rather cool tone for someone so nervous. Tugging at the collar of his shirt, Danny shifted a bit in his seat before trying to get his jacket off. It seemed to be a little stuck. He wasn't sure why, either, because it fit so well. It was even a bit too big. But this jacket certainly wasn't going anywhere. "This might be weird, bro..." Danny started, looking over at Jett. "But can you help me? I'm stuck."

Shoshana watched Derek as he just stood idly. Everyone else was goofing off and having fun. Wasn't it what this night was all about? Maybe he wasn't very familiar with this side of her but it was the way she was. Don't get her wrong, they knew each other extremely well but he's probably never seen her goof off and such. Well it was time he did.

"C'mon, just let go." Shana said as she began dancing but not quite actually dancing. Just swaying her body to the sound of music but not a perfection because she wasn't the greatest dancer. She took his hand then brought him close to her before taking his other hand and moving them up an down and side to side. Her hips did most of the moving, she smiled brightly.

[Derek Mathaw]

Okay, so this was awkward. He was supposed to be dancing with her, and instead he was just standing there like an idiot and - woah, those hips. He looked at her as she began to dance, admiring the view for a second before she grabbed his hand. Moving back and forth with each other, he laughed and began to get into the groove. "Ready for a spin?" he asked, drawing her in, and then leading her out with his arm so that she could turn and turn back in - if she wanted. {http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyvnfgtOmb1qcwph1o1_500.gif}

He just laughed as they started dancing a little on their own. "It's all about being silly, right?" He said, and raised his eyebrows. "I can't believe I'm doing this - I haven't just messed around and danced in a while. You better be careful or I'll start going crazy and doing things like --" he trailed off as he began to replicate the "All the Single Ladies" dance, singing along and joking around. He stopped after a good fifteen seconds, but he was just hoping his ridiculousness would make her laugh. He continued to just make stupid faces and goof around with her.

[Elliot Gates]

Elliot hadn't gone to the game before the dance, mostly because he just didn't feel like having a bunch of people shoving him around and screaming in his ear. Besides, he wasn't one for football anyway. He wasn't even wanting to go to homecoming but Raine really wanted to and it was the least he could do to even start to make things up to her. He had figured go big or go home, so he had met Raine after the game.

What he hadn't told her was that he went ahead and rented a hotel room and had a giant surprise waiting for her after the dance. It was itching at his brain to badly to tell her, but he wanted it to be a big surprise. He had gone right after school to get everything ready and he had just barely made his time deadline.

But now, it was time for the dance. Elliot had been convinced to ride in the limo with Raine, Jett, Danny, Estelle and her Date who he didn't know, and Esme and Jon.. how? He hadn't a clue but the ride wasn't too bad, apart from his extreme dislike for Esme. He tried to be cheerful and pleasant for Raine's sake and it wasn't too unbearable since Raine, Estelle and Jett were there. He had actually got to talking to Danny who he guessed was tagging along with their group because he was a friend of Jett's and neither of them had a date... unless.. no, they weren't together... were they?

He wasn't going to ask, but the way the two had been sharing awkward glances and weird nervous laughs was almost enough for Elliot to assume. There was undeniably a large wall of sexual tension throughout the whole limo and it wasn't coming from just Danny and Jett. It was coming from almost everyone in there.. except maybe the driver.

They had arrived and everyone unloaded in their beautifully colored dresses and perfect suits, most of which were coordinated to match their date's colors. Elliot and Raine had just worn black and white, which was fine on his behalf because he loved black. He was wearing an all black suit with a grey tie and white belt. His hair was almost perfectly straight apart from his bangs which he had let get a cute wave in them. The pair matched rather well, he thought.

As they walked inside the gym, their group went off into their own little areas to converse with other peers and admire everything. Elliot still wasn't completely sure if he wanted to be here. He could feel his nerves starting to grow and he was already becoming a little anxious. The music was loud and playing something with a nice beat but shitty lyrics. He stood with Raine and took in all of the Halloween inspired decorations. School was creepy enough without the added horror of his favorite holiday.

He turned to Raine with a smile. "I've never been to one of these before." He admitted over the music.

When Derek spun Shana, she felt as if she was floating in the air. She thought that nothing could go wrong tonight. Everything - from Derek asking her to homecoming to now. She even felt extremely comfortable in heels which was rare considering she had a hard time adapting to them. Or maybe these shoes were designed to feel comfortable but that can't explain why her heart was fluttering. Shana returned to him with her hands placed gently on his shoulders, she smiled openly before they moved apart from each other.

"Yeah! Just stomp your feet." Shana was familiar with the Single Ladies dance and tried it for herself. She laughed as Derek began throwing out some moves and joined in, copying his moves. This was fun, natural fun and there was no faking. She made the silliest duck faces, moving her hands up in the air and moving her hips side to side before switching moves and swinging her hands side to side while her heels clicked on the floor.

[Derek Mathaw]

She looked beautiful when she spun away from him. Her dress swirled around her hips and legs like she was twisting the air around her. Again he was reminded of that idea he had, that she was a goddess. It seemed like a perfect way to describe her tonight. He didn't think that she would surprise him so much with the outfit, and the personality, and the whole persona. This was their first night just being themselves (or, being themselves while dressed up) and she was funny. Pretty and funny and she had an infectious laugh and the best dance moves. That was, the best dance moves next to his.

He laughed as she began to do the "Carlton" - the dance you see so very often on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." He mimicked her moves, finding it was actually really easy to do, and that made him happy. "Hey, I can be the Fresh Prince and you can be Carlton, okay?" He joked, and just danced along with her. All was well until - uh oh. Gangnam Style. He looked at her, raised his eyebrows and then opened his mouth in an 'o' of surprise. "Oh boy, here it goes," he said, and began mumbling along to the song (he didn't know all of the words, just some of them) as he danced.

Let me tell you, Derek Mathaw is not that great at dancing to Gangnam Style.

He rather looked like this: 24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbqo3aef2P1qmqy5mo1_400.gif

OOC// Sorry just had to think of a song to dance to!!
