Time spent with friends, eating food, dancing, and generally having a good time whilst not thinking about homework? Could they do this every year?! It also helped that he liked dancing and could get his hands on a high-end suit easily. He’d much rather dress comfortably, but if he had to, he knew how to clean up well.

Though even then, Serena stole the show. Jas had been sure to tell her that on their walk over to the dance. Red was her color, no doubt. ”Mm, only three times,” he gently teased, moving his hand from the small of her back in order to take her hand, interlace their fingers, and slip their locked hands into one of those pockets of hers. ”You’re right. Super convenient.” He had to check out those pockets for himself, to be sure. Holding her hand was simply a bonus.

And as they made their way towards the dance floor, Serena had all his attention. ”Dance with me?” But rather than wait for her to agree, he pulled her in.


Despite feeling nervous, Jasper’s hand on the small of her back helped Serena relax. It helped her feel more present rather than floaty. She looked up at him, her normally stormy steel blue eyes a calm glimmering sea tonight. Maybe it was the light make-up she was wearing—the mascara on her lashes, the light color dusted on her eyelids, or colored lips—that made her eyes look softer, or maybe that for the first time during this chaotic term, she was feeling at ease.

Jasper’s energy was infectious, too. It was one of the many things she liked about him. She might actually mention that to him one day. Pretending to not like him, those days were behind her. Although, she could still tease him.

The swift manner in which he interlaced their fingers had Serena’s stomach doing flips, and the way he smoothly slipped their hands into her pocket—oomph!

Dead.

“Good things come in three, didn’t you know?” she teased back, giving his hand a squeeze. She had to cool it with the pockets on her dress, but it was just so cool. Fancy dresses and pockets, YES. And like Jasper said, they WERE super convenient. For hand-holding. It was her new favorite use of them.

Dance? “Of cou—!” She giggled involuntarily instead of finishing her sentence as he pulled her in.

DEAD. For the second time tonight. Dead.

“You’re so smooth,” she said, following his lead. Typically, Serena liked to be in control, in the lead, but there could only be one person leading the dance. Also, she wanted to see those dance moves he raved about.
