I took a deep breath and walked into my first school dance as a girl. The dance hall looked the same but it felt so different. A little nicer perhaps, I thought. The balloons looked very pretty and all the boys looked very handsome in their suits and ties. All the boys seemed to have dates so I headed over to the drink table to get a drink.
"You look really pretty," a boy said.
"Why, thank you."
"My name is Jake. What's yours?" Jake asked.
"It's Stephanie."
"That's a lovely name. Would you like to dance?" I wasn't sure if I was ready to dance with a boy yet but he looked so handsome in his suit and tie. He had deep blue eyes and the darkest shade of black hair that I have ever seen im my life.
"I would love to dance," I said.
I felt nervous and safe at the same time as Jake took my hand and led me to the dance floor. He wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me close to him. I put my arms around his neck and we began to dance. "You are so beautiful," Jake said as he pulled me close to him.
