Winter Formal, Neptune High School

[argyle_princess]

Even before they reach the dance, in the dressed up Neptune High School Gym, they can hear it, a jumble of voices and laughter over something that passes for music.

(The band, it must be confessed, is really nothing all that impressive. The lyrics, if they were intelligible, would be quite forgettable. The music is, however, basically danceable.)

This year's theme, whatever it is, seems to have called for a great deal of pale blue and silver streamers and balloons, though only so much can be done to disguise the fact that the room is really intended more for basketball than dancing. But the Winter Formal Committee has tried. And what the room looks like doesn't matter nearly as much as who wore what and who showed up with whom. It's hard to get quality gossip out of crepe paper.

Though if Wellard knew that it just may be noted exactly who Hannah Griffith showed up with, (well, not quite exactly, since only the few details he came up with for background here are going to be known), he probably would have been a great deal more nervous. His hand on top of Hannah's might be a little tight, but he still offered her his arm, and that is what most anyone else is going to notice, tonight.

Though, it is not all nervousness. Wellard is trying his best to react to the gym and the other students as if he has Seen It All Before, and he is succeeding somewhat. It does help when a good portion of your attention is fixed on who he is accompanying, and-

How lovely she looks.
