Free Dark Night by Stefany Rattles Page A

She
corrected her and blushed.
    “Yeah, he’s one of the royals and they tend
to stick together, you’ll notice at the ball…. Oh crap it’s time!”
Mereily jumped up and pulled us with her. “Come on guys.” She
dragged us out the door. We had to walk slowly, our dresses were
one reason and the crowd of people walking down the stairs was
another. It looked like the red carpet and that was nothing
compared to this. I saw maybe two other girls wearing dresses
similar to mine, of course theirs were a different color and style
within the same style (if that makes any sense). We got to the
bottom of the stairs when I heard someone shout.
    “Everyone have a blast!” Genevieve screamed
and let out a devilish laugh.
    “I don’t know why you like her, she’s evil.”
I joked, and made Sophie laugh.
    Mereily faked a giggle, “She’s stuck up
sometimes, but once you really get to know her she’s very___”
    “Shallow, and stubborn,” Sophie interrupted
her, I laughed at that.
    Finally we went in and our mouths fell open.
“They just keep getting better, and better.”

    Genevieve was flirting with Jack McKey, a
senior. She hadn’t noticed me entering the Dining room, Jack
however did. He nodded to me and Genevieve turned to look, her
attitude completely changed, she left Jack and his friends by a
table they were about to take and walked towards me.
    She was wearing the typical royal gown, it
was definitely her type, red and black with a hint of white, long
and form fitted. She smiled and came to a stop directly in front of
me. “Hey, we were just talking about you, handsome.” She barely
kissed me on the lips. “You wanna join us?”
    “Us?” I asked.
    “Them, us? Why does it
matter? Robbie you’re not jealous are you?” She asked taking hold
of my hand.
    I really wasn’t, the only reason why that
upset me was because I was trying to have a relationship with
Genevieve, but she wasn’t helping throwing herself at other men. I
felt nothing towards her being flirtatious with others, but it was
just dangerous and she knew it. “I guess a little.” I lied to play
the part. We both knew what game we were playing and we had to try
and do it right, I had always known she had a thing for Jack and he
was a nice guy. Sometimes the thought of not being with her, was
like heaven. “How about we get our own table?” The idea of having
those two all over each other in public just wasn’t going to work
for us.
    Genevieve talked about herself of course, for
what seemed like an eternity. About fifteen minutes had passed,
more people were starting to come in and the noise level was going
up. Suddenly music started playing from the speakers on-what was-the stage. Denise, one of Genevieve’s friends came to sit by our
table and started chattering away. She was as annoying as Gene, but
that was why she was friends with her and others just like them
two. Someone tapped my shoulder interrupting my thoughts.
    “Hey, how are you doing’?” Kevin, another
senior asked, taking a sit at my left side.
    “Fine and you?” I asked to be courteous,
Kevin and I had been close friends He and I had been roommates a
few months ago before I had to go to England. Now and then we
talked occasionally but we were not best buddies by any means.
    “Just enjoying the view, you know.” He
playfully punched my arm and let out a dark laugh.
    “You never change.” Kevin was not a ladies
man, more like a douche bag. But girls were always sticking to him
like super glue. I just did not understand it.
    “Gotta have fun dude... You should try it
sometime and maybe you wouldn’t be so damn uptight all the time.”
He said it with sarcasm, but I let it go as soon as Mia walked in
the room, she caught my undivided attention.
    “ Really? The new
chick? Bro, go for it.” Kevin was saying and Genevieve heard him,
she had stopped talking to her friends to pay attention to me, I
glanced at her feeling guilty and glared at Kevin. He shrugged
