Chapter 16: The Prom

"Okay, who is this?"

Dio looked at the girl beside Montolo.

"This is G&D, my dance partner, from Dorell Middle School. Montolo gave a brief introduction, then looked at Maya and was stunned for a while, before he said with some uncertainty: "This ...... Your dance partner is Maya?"

"That's right. Dio smirked, showing his and Maya's hand.

"Hello, Montolo. Maya also greeted shyly.

"Hi, there. Montolo looked at Maya again in disbelief, and then slapped Dior on the shoulder, "Damn, you're really done?" I said why you care about her so much, it turned out to be premeditated." ”

Dio smiled silently, and Maya was even more embarrassed.

"Hey, boys and girls, hurry up if you want to come in, don't block others, and don't cut in line. ”

At this time, the security guard interrupted the conversation, and Dio turned back, it turned out that it was their turn to enter.

"It's coming. Dio greeted the security guard first, and then said to Montolo: "Go in first, we'll talk later." ”

"Okay. Montolo nodded, pulling his partner to the back of the line.

Dio walked up to the security guard with Maya in his arms and handed the invitation card to the security guard.

"I'm sorry. ”

The security guard checked the invitation card, looked at the handsome young man in front of him and the fresh and lovely girl on the side, and said a rare sentence when he returned the invitation card to the two: "Young man, if I were you, I would definitely keep her at today's ball." ”

"Of course. Dio said sternly: "I will not leave her today." ”

Dior's thick skin didn't matter, Maya couldn't bear it, and pulled Dior into the auditorium quickly with a red face.

The auditorium in the high school is large and wide, with strings of colored lights running across the ceiling and finally gathering on the large chandelier in the center, which casts a soft and bright light.

The stage is located directly to the east, and there are long tables placed against the wall in the other three directions, on which are stacked with all kinds of delicious snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, and waiters are constantly walking around the auditorium with drinks to serve students in need.

At this time, the dance party has not officially begun, and a few members of the band responsible for today's performance have already taken the stage, while adjusting the instruments, while playing some soothing and soft music, so that the atmosphere of the auditorium has been initially mobilized, and it is very lively.

A qiē looks perfect.

In the city of Santa Reita, top colleges such as the Pale Sacred Deer Senior Academy can host such a ball.

Due to the high quality of teaching, the families enrolled in the school are all groups with a certain economic foundation, and these children are undoubtedly far more successful than ordinary children because of their excellent family background and educational environment, except for those noble children.

And when these children become successful people in society, they are either sincerely grateful or acting on the spot, they are often willing to make a lot of donations to their alma mater, so that the college will get more funds, so as to provide better educational resources, become more and more competitive, and form a virtuous circle.

This competitiveness can be seen in the intensity of today's ball.

At this time, Montolo and his dance partner G&D also entered, and the two couples joined together, walking and talking.

"We girls went to find a seat first and asked the men to bring the snacks and drinks. ”

Ged pulled Maya over, and Maya looked at Dio, saw him nod, and went in obedience.

Seeing this picture, Montolo secretly gave Dior a thumbs up, and the two boys laughed knowingly.

"Dior, you're really good, you couldn't see it before. When the two reached the long table against the wall, Montolo whispered as he chose a snack.

"Didn't you already praise me before?" Dior picked up a sugar pudding and put it on his plate, then looked at his companion a little strangely.

"Not about that. Montolo looked left and right, and then whispered: "I'm talking about the Feredo gang, Taylor was originally arguing and unwilling to give up, wanting to disgrace you and Maya." As a result, Feredo quarreled with her the day before yesterday, and heard that Feredo gave her a slap before finally stopping, not only did Taylor not come to the ball today, but even Feredo didn't come, did you get it behind your back? Also, I heard that Feredo went to block you a week ago, but he was beaten and carried back. ”

"Damn, my sister did it. ”

"Sister?" Montolo's eyes widened.

"That's what happened that day...... "Dio recounted the events of the day briefly," ...... That's it, and then my sister went to warn Feredo and Taylor, telling them not to trouble me again, otherwise they would be beaten once they saw them, and I guess that made them not come to the ball today. Dior spread his hands, saying that he was just an audience with no sense of zài.

"I see. Montolo suddenly realized, and then looked at Dior with envy, "It's good to have a capable sister." ”

"It's really good that my sister is capable. Dio echoed with a strange face, thinking in his heart that when his sister is too capable, who knows how much pressure it is to be an older brother.

......

When the two boys returned to the girls with a plate of food, the two girls had a good conversation.

“...... Your clothes are so beautiful, I haven't seen anything like this in all the shops around. G&D looked at Maya's clothes with envy.

"I did it myself. Maya replied in a low voice.

"Really?" G&D's eyes widened, surprised.

"Yes. ”

"It's amazing. G&D said with a look of amazement.

"Hey, girls, we're back" Montolo and Dior walked over.

"Come and sit down, the prom is almost over. ”

The four of them sat down, eating snacks and chatting about the day, and soon the hands of the clock turned to the time when the dance began.

The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, the music stopped abruptly, and then a spotlight hit the stage, attracting the attention of the students in the auditorium.

After a while, a beautiful girl in a crimson low-cut dress walked onto the stage with her male companion in her arms, and came to the lamppost, showing her perfect body curves in the bright light, her skin shining as delicate as ivory under the light, and the handsome boy next to her formed a pleasing picture.

"Dear students, who is the most beautiful person at the ball today?" the girl asked in a loud voice as soon as she took the stage.

The students in the audience laughed and replied, "It's you, Angela, the most beautiful queen of the academy." ”

"No, I'm graduating from high school in a month, and I'm an old girl. Angela on the stage pretended to be sad and said: "Today, the Pale Holy Deer Senior Academy will usher in its new queen, she is the most beautiful girl today!"

Now, let's have fun;

Girls, dance, you may well be the next queen;

Keep your eyes open, boys, your votes will elect a new prom queen.

Now, I announce that the 155th All Souls' Day Ball in the High School of Pale Sacred Deer Senior Academy has begun!"

As Angela and her dance partner began to dance on stage, the lights on the stage turned on, the music in the auditorium began to sound again, and the students in the audience cheered in unison, and each stepped onto the dance floor with their dance partners to participate in the opening dance.

"Let's go dance. Dio stretched out his hand and made an invitation to Maya.

"Good. Seeing that the other students were so cheerful, Maya was visibly moved.

The two squeezed onto the dance floor hand in hand, occupying a space.

"How do you dance?" Looking around at the enthusiastic dancing crowd, Maya began to lose confidence again.

"Whatever, I won't, just follow the rhythm. There was some confusion on the dance floor, and Dior had to shout back.

It didn't seem to be possible to look at Dior, but he was also dancing clumsily, and Maya couldn't help but smile when she saw it, and then started dancing with Dior. The two of them danced together stupidly, and soon no matter what dance steps, how happy they were.

In fact, although Dio can't dance, it is not too difficult for a martial artist to control his body and learn from the people around him to dance, the reason why he deliberately pretended to be very clumsy is to make Maya have no pressure, and now it seems that the effect is very good.

According to the tradition of the House Ball, the opening dance is used to liven up the atmosphere and does not last very long, followed by the first formal dance, the slow-paced ballroom dance.

When the music becomes soothing, it also means that the first dance begins.

To the rhythm of the music, Dio approached Maya, grabbed Maya's hand, which was panting, and put the other hand on her waist, and the two danced slowly.

At this time, the lights also suddenly dimmed, adding a hazy color to the auditorium.

In such a dimly lit space, accompanied by melodious and soothing music, young men and women dance slowly at a distance that is so close that their breaths are staggered, and the ambiguous atmosphere slowly swims on the dance floor.

Maya's face turned red unconsciously.

At this time, Dior didn't make a sound, and let this ambiguity ferment slowly and steadily.

The two of them danced in the darkness as if everyone around them was gone, and the two of them were the only ones left in the center of the world until the music ended.

After the first dance, there are no restrictions on the style of the ball, and most of them are relatively motivating and cheerful music, so that the young students can express their passions to the fullest.

At this time, Dio saw that Maya was a little tired, so he took her out of the dance floor, returned to her seat to have a snack and a drink, and then went to the dance floor to dance when she was rested.

After a few rounds, Maya couldn't dance anymore, so the two sat together and chatted slowly. At this time, Maya seemed to open her heart to Dior and began to tell him about her childhood, and Dio also told her the story of her childhood - although he didn't remember it very clearly, it was okay to make it up in a decent and interesting way, and the two of them chatted like this, without feeling the passage of time at all.

It wasn't until the announcement of the results of the prom queen election began that the two emerged from their independent world.

Watching the beautiful girl on the stage receive the crown representing the status of the queen from the hands of the former prom queen Angela in the warm applause, Maya's eyes did not have the slightest regret. She looked at Dio and whispered, "It's not too early, I want to go back." ”

"Okay, I'll send you. ”
