It wasn’t that he hadn’t ever danced before - he did - but he didn’t really consider himself good, graceful, or anything else that made someone a half decent dancer. Luckily as they entered the dance floor a pop song was playing. This meant that Jasper wouldn’t have to worry about stepping on or tripping over Dani’s feet (at least not for now). Trying to follow along awkwardly with the rhythm, Jasper raised his voice over the music to ask her [color=C3C3C3][b]”So what brings you to Palms?”[/b][/color] Danielle was mentally kicking herself in the ass, right now. As the pop song came on, she quickly glanced around and watched another girl near them dancing, mimicking her moves as best as possible. Dani started laughing, mostly at herself, as she danced with Jasper out on the dance floor. Her attention snapped to her dance partner when she heard his voice call out to her over the music. [color=#FF7A00]“Family. Dad got a job offer he couldn’t refuse and we moved back. Wasn’t too jazzed about it, but I [i]do[/i] know a few people here, still. Enough to get me through the end of the year, anyway. Always got my cousins, if anything. Even though Max totally ditched me soon as we got here. He’ll hear it later,”[/color] she laughed jokingly. Trying to copy what others were doing around them was an awful idea. Jasper couldn’t mimic them in the slightest, and instead managed to screw up a few times before finally finding his own rhythm. [b][color=C3C3C3]”Max?”[/color][/b] Jasper questioned. [color=C3C3C3][b]”I don’t really know that much about him. Seems like a cool dude though.”[/b][/color] Dani nodded, taking a quick glance around to see if she could spot her cousin. [color=#FF7A00]”Yeah, he’s alright.”[/color] She turned her attention back on Jasper, watching him as he danced and giggled a little bit. [color=#FF7A00]”So, what brought you to the dance tonight? Don’t strike me as a guy who seeks to attend school dances.”[/color] [b][Color=C3C3C3]"I came here with Ariana. Pretty sure Chrissie was trying to set me up or something. I didn't really want to come, but since Ariana asked…."[/color][/b] [color=#FF7A00]”Well, that was sweet of you. I wasn’t so sure if I was going to come tonight, myself. My mom and aunt [i]convinced[/i] my cousin and I to go anyway.”[/color] [b][color=c3c3c3]”I’m used to Chrissie trying to set me up with people, honestly. She tries so hard to find someone for me or some shit. She’s a fixer, honestly.”[/color][/b] As the song came to a stop, Jasper looked around the room to see that most of the crowd had disappeared. The DJ announced the last slow song for the night, Jasper quickly glanced at Dani. Did he ask her to dance the last song, or did he ditch? [b][color=C3C3C3]”Hey, give me just a second, okay?”[/color][/b] Looking around the room, the blonde realized that he didn’t see his previously mentioned date. [b][color=C3C3C3]”I…. I don’t see Ari… uh…”[/color][/b] Pulling his phone from his jacket pocket, Jasper sent a quick text to Ariana and confirmed that she was okay before returning his attention to Dani. [b][color=C3C3C3]”I low-key ruined your last song. Looks like my date went home with my best friend. I have no other plans so… would you like to grab something to eat?”[/color][/b] [color=#FF7A00]”I think we both equally were ruining the song for everyone else.”[/color] Danielle laughed lightly, adding [color=#FF7A00]”Yeah, sounds good. Just as long as you don’t plan to take me out into the boonies and kill me.”[/color] The girl nudged the boy’s arm playfully as she started for the door slowly. A small smile spread across his face. Offering his arm for her to grab, Jasper lead Dani away from the dance. [/indent][/indent][/indent][/color]
