The second they arrived at the dance, all eyes were on them. Hayes walked around the front of his car and opened the door for Devyn, giving her his hand and helping her out. Quiet gasps filled the parking lot at the sight of her exiting Hayes's recognizable Camaro.
She suddenly felt self-conscious with all eyes on her and lowered her head as a response. But then Hayes's hand found its way to her lower back. The warmth of his hand radiated through her, essentially calming her nerves.
Josh and Brynn, and Matt and Alex parked on either side of Hayes's car and exited their vehicles, as well. Alex and Brynn didn't waste any time before they looped their arms through their boyfriends' and headed inside.
Sparing a glance in their direction, Hayes held his arm out to Devyn. She eyed him for a moment before slowly looping her arm around his, and he lead them inside. With each step they took, Devyn became more and more aware of the intrigued stares she was receiving, no doubt because she arrived in Hayes's car and is walking inside with him.
Hayes is notorious for keeping girls at an arms length. He exudes a playboy persona but that couldn't be farther from the truth, which is he could care less. Sure, the girls at school throw themselves at him any chance they get but he doesn't entertain them. Devyn was fully intending on driving herself to the dance, but Hayes surprised her by escorting her to his car.
His behavior recently has Devyn's mind running at full speed as she tries to decipher his motives. First, he's kinder to her, then he practically orders her to let him help with her situation, and now he's walking her inside the venue for the homecoming dance.
No wonder she can feel a few stink eyes from a few girls lingering in the hall leading into the dance space; they want to be the ones on Hayes's arm.
The music was penetrating, the bass reverberating throughout the room. Devyn could feel the vibrations through her feet. She scanned the room and saw a snack and drink table to the left while the obvious dance floor was to the right. Several students were already jumping and dancing to the beat of the music, no doubt sweating already.
Devyn looked around for her siblings, and she spotted them making their way to the drinks table. She tugged on Hayes's arm and steered him towards them.
"So, what do you think, Dev?" Alex asked as soon as she saw her sister.
Devyn looked around, "It's loud."
"It's a dance." Josh laughed. "It's supposed to be loud, sis."
"Smartass," she mumbles, which has Hayes laughing under his breath.
Suddenly, Alex grabs Matt's hand and drags him away. "Let's dance!" she declares.
Matt barely has time to set his drink on a nearby table before he spills on the way to the dance floor. Josh follows his sister's idea; however, he's a little more docile about asking Brynn to dance. He holds out his arm again, and she slips hers through with a smile.
