Montey's Point of View

The music is loud. Very loud. And it's not even very good music, just random pop songs that had been dubbed appropriate by the teachers. Right now there was some random song from the 90's being blasted through the over-decorated gym.

Even though the music sucked, Darius and I were still managing to have a good time. We were just kind of yelling random jokes at each other over the music, jumping slightly with the crowd of dancing people.

I practically jumped out of my skin when I felt someone poke my shoulder. I turned around to see Soraya smile at me, her hair in a messy bun. Next to her was a dressed up Cato in a black tuxedo, who seemed in a better mood than usual. Darius jumped slightly when he saw Cato, but eventually he shook himself out slightly and smiled at him good-naturedly.

"Hey Montey!" Soraya greeted me. "You look great!"

"Thanks, you look awesome too!" I gushed, er, tried to gush. I don't really gush about things. Soraya was dressed to impress with a long white dress that had thick golden straps criss-crossing at the back and another thick band of golden below the bust. Her dark brown hair was put into a messy bun, and white gladiator sandals could be seen poking out from under her floor length dress. She looked awesome, as I'd said before.

"Darius, right?" Soraya asked Dar-dar. He nodded, still seemingly weary of Cato's presence. "I'm Soraya. Montey's in my PE class."

"Yep, we rant about the world during warm ups." I chuckle, remembering exactly what happens when two pessimists jog around the track together. "I didn't know Cato and you were a thing." I said to Soraya, who blushed slightly as Cato smiled faintly.

"Y-Yea," Soraya blushes, her eyes flicking over to Cato. The two of them would make a good couple,  Montey approves! I narrate in my head.

"Soraya!" Someone calls from deeper in the mass of dancing bodies. Soraya perks up and looks into the crowd. "Sorayaaaa!" The voice comes again.

"Oh, it's Delly," Soraya laughs. "I'll talk to you guys later tonight, 'kay?"

" 'Kay." Darius and I say before Soraya and Cato get lost in the crowd.

Darius and I watch them until the crowd practically swallows them. Dar-dar turns to me. "Want some punch?" He asks.

"Uh, I would, except I'm 99% sure I saw someone pouring booze in it on the way in." I laughed.

"Montey!" Sarah scares the crap out of me by yelling in my ear. I whip around to look at her.

"Where's Gale?" I ask stupidly.

"With Madge."

"D' awwwwwww!" I make a adorable noise.

"I know!"

"What?" Darius entered the conversation.

"Operation Fake-Date worked!" I explained. We all cheered for a second before the song changed to a slow song.

"Time to go find someone to dance with!" Sarah cheered before running off. I sometimes wonder where she gets all that energy.

"Hey, Montey." Darius says. "Wanna dance?"

"Of course," I reply. "And I apologize in advance if I break any of your toes."

Darius laughs and takes my hands to lead me to the dance floor. By time the songs over I think Darius's toes are still intact, but most definitely bruised.
