“Ren, Ren, REN!!! Hello Ren are you okay”, Deryck snapped me out of my daydream. I felt my face pull in to a pout. I opened my eyes to Deryck’s hair in my face. Wait when did I even shut them? I inhaled the familiar smell of his cologne and felt safer in his arms than I ever had under the watch of my fairy guard. I had to blink several times to realize that he had never kissed me and that I was probably making a fool of myself. As usual, I’ll never understand why these two still hang out with me.
“Oh I’m sorry Deryck I spaced out there for a moment what did you say?” I asked shaking my head as if to clear my head. It was really because of my lame excuse that I had used just about every day since I’d like ever known them. It always seems like I’m making excuses for problems in that “magical” world of mine. Always leaving in the middle of parties and such. Jesh I’m such a flake. What I wrong with me?
“I said Happy Birthday,” he laughed at me. You know, it’s amazing that he still buys that line of crap because I know that I’ve used it to many times for him to keep believing it. He pulled me into another hug and started to tickle my sides.
I sighed as any hope of him liking me was shattered again. I didn’t have to fake a laugh, though, when I opened my mouth next, “Deryck Jayden, unless you want me to be completely red in the face by the time we get downstairs I strongly suggest you stop it right now!” I continued laughing as I playfully punched his arm. He laughed with me and I rolled my eyes, dying a little more inside. He stopped and even though I had asked him to, I instantly missed his touch.
Even though it hurt to have him that close to me and not have him truly be mine, we made it the rehearsal of the grand entrance. In the center of the grand ballroom was a platform that was able to move the 25 feet back to the far wall. It was to this platform that D.J. and I walked, arm in arm, and he held my hand as I stood in front of the throne. As he kissed my hand and helped me sit down it was hard to remember he was acting, that he didn’t really feel that way about me.
It got even harder when it was the real grand entrance. As He kissed my hand he flipped his hair out of his eyes and I saw the same pain in his eyes that was there when his girlfriend had dumped him last year. I remember how bad he had gotten hurt, and instantly it was like I was felling all his hurt and sorrow like it was my own. I saw another tear start to roll down his cheek and I wiped it way and cupped his face in my hand. I tried to get him to smile with one of my own. It was returned with weak version of his usual goofy grin. It would have to do for now, but he wouldn’t get away with it for long.
I must have had a sad look on my face because he told me to smile and rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand. I threw a cheesy fake smile at him and he laughed. The platform was halfway to the wall and Deryck Jayden hadn’t dropped my hand like he had earlier. I was beginning to worry about him, and then he looked me in the eyes. They were still sad but there was something else there. I couldn’t figure it out though. The platform stopped moving and D.J. let go of my hand. He turned to the man that was ascending the stairs of the platform. He gingerly picked the tiara from the pillow he carried and placed it carefully on my head.
He stood at my side as I welcomed my friends. “…but enough formalities, let’s get this party started!” I screamed at the crowd. Instantly, the music started and everyone started dancing. Everyone’s distracted, talk to him I heard myself thinking. It’s your only chance. I looked Deryck Jayden in the eyes. Those prefect green eyes seemed to know what I wanted to talk about.
“You look delicious Ren,” I laughed at his words. Okay so maybe not what I needed to know but at least he noticed. I whispered my thanks and opened my mouth to ask him to dance.
“Deryck do…”I trailed off as I saw Cherry Rulera the one who had hurt him last year walk up to us. All the courage I had died when I saw her. I knew she would ask him to dance. I also knew that he would accept and I would spend my night alone on my throne or out on the floor with Lenny.
“Would you like to dance,” she asked Deryck as she reached her hand out, testing him. I know it was selfish of me but even though I knew he wanted to I took my regained my courage and, very nastily, responded for him.
“He’s my escort so I believe that would mean he had to dance with me,” I could have added ‘first’ to the end but I knew she’d be waiting at the corner of the dance floor for him as soon as we were done so I conveniently left that part out. But the little prissy pain in the neck ignored me like it wasn’t my party, like I wasn’t even there.
“How ‘bout it boo?” God was she persistent. My eyes quickly found Lena’s. She was dancing with some guy from our math class, but she saw what was happening with Cherry. She immediately ditched the guy and rushed over to us.
“Um... Ren is my date for the evening and I’d like to keep it that way Cher,” he looked her dead in the face then turned to me beaming. Lena had reached us by then and carried Cherry away. It then occurred to me that she hadn’t even been invited. My temper flared momentarily until I realized I’d won. Deryck had chosen, on his own to stand by me. The question was; did he stay because he wanted to or because he knew I wanted him to?
I opened my mouth to ask, but he cut me off. “How about that? She thinks that I’m going dance with her when I was just about to ask the prettiest girl hear to dance.” He looked at me and I knew he meant me. I felt my face get hot and turned away. “So will you Ren?” he asked, “Dance with me Ren. Dance with me until they throw us out.” I couldn’t help but dance with him. I nodded my head not trusting my voice to reply. As we walked down the stairs, the MC spoke.
“Alright Ladies and Gents, let’s make some room for our princess and her prince for the evening.” I smiled and caught the eye of Cherry who was being interrogated by security. I stuck my tongue out at her. She grimaced and I scoffed and did a mental happy dance. A song started but there were no words. Deryck didn’t seem to either notice or care. He instantly pulled me to his chest to one of my hands in his and with his other placed mine on his shoulder. His hand then rested on my lower back.
I never knew that he could dance like that he; whirled and twirled me around the dance floor and I was amazed. Then suddenly a voice echoed in my mind: Sixteen years, the princess lives. Until to love her life she gives. The demon’s smile invites her in, then the floor beneath begins to spin. Why was the prophecy ringing in my ears? The floor beneath begins to spin. I glanced down the floor was spinning.
Did I really believe all the mystic mumbo jumbo? Or were my mother’s stories finally getting to me? I looked up to realize that the song was ending and that we were still dancing. If we’re dancing then technically the floor isn’t spinning right? Or am I going to be attacked at my party? Would I risk everything for Deryck Jayden?
I already knew the answer. I would fight tooth and nail for him. I’d die for him in a heartbeat. I loved him. Always have, always would. For the rest of the evening I was on pins and needles. No matter what I was doing I made sure D.J. was with me or at least within eyeshot. In fact had I not been with Deryck, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the party at all. I thanked my lucky star that it was D.J. that I was supposed to protect instead of someone else.
Of course I would do my best to save everyone else. However of all the people in the room there were only three I would risk my life to save; Lena Deryck and Mom. They were those most important to me and I would do whatever it took to keep them safe.
