Dustin Henderson: One Dance

"Maggie are you almost ready." I hear my brother Mike yell from downstairs.


"Not yet almost though." I yell back. I finish strapping my black heels then go look at my reflection. I'm wearing a dark blue knee high dress with a black belt. My hair is curled and I'm wearing very light makeup. I walk down the stairs and walk towards the living room where the rest of my family is. My mom has her camera out and is taking photos of my brother but he just won't seem to smile. I walk over to my sister Nancy and stand next to her. 


"You look amazing in that dress." She says which makes me smile.


"Well I had a lot of help picking it out." I say and lightly nudge her side. 


"No problem plus I know you really want to dance with a certain Dustin Henderson." She says joking around with me. Luckily my mom decided that she now wanted me to be in some photos.


It was true though I really did want to dance with Dustin at the snowball. I've had a crush on him since fourth grade. But he always had a crush on Nancy. Then this year he has a crush on Max and wants to ask her to dance at the snowball. 


Jonathan's picking is up in his car but, I bet it's only because of Nancy. Will, Mike and I are sitting in the backseat while Nancy is in the passenger seat. 


"So are you guys excited?" Jonathan asks us. We all answer yes. I look out the window again and watch the trees zip past and think about if I'll actually get to dance with Dustin. 


About ten minutes later we arrive at the dance and make our way to the gymnasium. (Also every breathe you take just started playing I am confusion Spotify). Lucas and Max arrive a few minutes later. Then lastly Dustin. My heart seems to skip a beat as he spins in a circle to show off his tux and hair.


"So what do you guys think?" He asks. Lucas and Max start joking around about his hair. After Dustin finally had enough and told them to stop Lucas asked max to dance and they made their way on the dance floor. Next a girl who I know Will has never talked to asked him to dance and we had to push him to go and dance with her. 


"Wish me luck Mike. I'm going in." He says while walking towards Stacy and her group of really dumb friends. He finally gets her attention after a few tries then asks her too dance. I decide I can't watch this so I walk over to Nancy.


"Hey you need so help Nanc?" I ask her


"No but i thought you were supposed to be dancing with Dustin."


"Yeah well he asked Stacy so I doubt I have a chance." 


"Oh really, because it looks like he's sitting on the bleachers by himself crying." She points out to me and I look over. What she's saying is true and it breaks my heart to see him like that. I walk over to him and notice that he's crying a lot more than I thought.


"Hey." 


"Hey." He says quickly wiping the tears away trying to hide the fact that he was crying.


"Wanna dance?" 


"What?" 


"I said do you want to dance with me." I hold my hand out and he takes it in his. I lead him to the dance floor and put his hands on my waist while I put his on my shoulders. I pull him colder to me and start to notice him smiling again. 


"You know I never told you this, but, out of all my brothers friends you've always been my favorite." I tell him and a slight pink rises to his cheeks. We keep dancing until our eyes meet and he kisses me taking me by surprise but I quickly kiss back. We wound up dancing for most of the night and then get punch and get Jonathan to take our photos. It was definitely the best night of my life.
