Old School Week A Sharp Suit

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel had worn his best suit, though he didn't have a partner for this dance, he had still decided to dress as sharp as possible. He could find someone to dance with.

 

[Daria Bright-Root]

School dances made Daria so nervous, so many people all around looking so glamourous. She had tucked herself away in a corner to watch people, and it wasn't long before she spotted Emmanuel. He had always been nice to her, and she tried to push down the worry that she was bothering him as she went over. "Hi." She said with a small, shy smile.

 

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel smiled at the girl who approached him, Daria. She was nice, in his history club, quiet but had an interest in history which made her instantly likeable in his book. "Hey, you look nice," he complimented her.

 

[Daria Bright-Root]

Daria felt her cheeks heat up at much and she looked down at her dress quickly before peeking at Emmanuel through her hair. "Thanks..." She mumbled, a little thrill of happiness going through her. Nobody had ever said anything like that to her before. "You look nice too..."

 

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel gave a smile to Daria, wide and pleased that someone had noticed that he looked nice. "Thank you," he said. He glanced about the room, at the people dancing. "Could I...interest you in a dance?" he offered, not sure if Daria was the dancing type.

 

[Daria Bright-Root]

Daria was half expecting Emmanuel to make an excuse to go talk to someone more interesting. So it was a shock when he asked her to dance, and her eyes widened in clear surprise. "Oh... okay!" She said in a slight squeak.

 

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel smiled at Daria warmly as she agreed. He extended his hand out to her. "Great!" he said, looking forward to dancing for once.

 

[Daria Bright-Root]

Daria felt a little bit like she was going to cry as she took Emmanuel's hand, hoping her palm wasn't sweaty with nerves. Things like this never happened to her. She smiled shyly as she went to the dancefloor with him, heart racing as she wondered what kind of dancing he liked.

 

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel led Daria to a spot on the dance floor and then turned towards her, letting go of her hand and dancing to the music. He wasn't doing very erratic moves, just swaying mostly to the music while smiling at her.

 

[Daria Bright-Root]

Daria couldn't keep the small smile off her face as she swayed to the music too, meeting Emmanuel's eyes shyly.

 

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel thought this was great fun, just dancing with her. The song was good, and he was smiling easily.

 

[Daria Bright-Root]

Daria couldn't quite believe this was happening, and couldn't keep the delighted grin off her face as she danced with Emmanuel.

 

[Emmanuel Okoye]

Emmanuel danced happily with Daria, enjoying her company in this very simple ball. He reached for her hand, intending to twirl her under his arm.
