The hotel ballroom was packed with sparkly dresses and boys in black tuxedos. It was a thrill for Allegra’s senses. She smiled as she saw dresses she’d love to make dance by her.

“Here goes nothing,” Nate Reece said as he held out his arm. Allegra smiled at her best friend and placed her arm on his. Nate and Allegra had been best friends since freshman year drama class. In a month he was heading to New York City, and she was going to design school in California.

Allegra and Nate made their way to the dance floor as people cast them surprised looks. Allegra had taken the liberty of adjusting Nate’s rental tux so it showed how good-looking he really was. Nate liked to hide behind baggy pants and layers of shirts. While he didn’t have the body of an athlete, it did hold promise, just like Nate himself did.

“I can’t wait to be out of this school,” Nate muttered as some of the dancers

around them started whispering. “At least it got me into that acting school.”

“Soon we can leave this all behind. I can get lost in the masses at college and you will be on stage performing in front of thousands of people. Promise you won’t forget me,” Allegra teased.

“I could never forget you. If it hadn’t been for you and your friendship, I would never have made it through all the snobbery. Speaking of which, here comes the queen bee.”

“I’m going to have to apologize. I was so mean to her this morning,” Allegra started to say before stopping to stare at a dress only an angel could have made.

“Raven,” Allegra whispered in a gasp. “That dress is amazing. Look at the way it’s made. And the layering. The texture!”

Allegra was so wrapped up in her lovefest with Raven’s dress she didn’t see the victorious look on Raven’s face.

With a smile of pure satisfaction, Raven did a quick spin in her dress. “Well, now that you know you can’t compete, I’m going to dance.”

“That dress is a work of art,” Allegra said wistfully as Raven sashayed toward her date.

“I can’t believe you.” Nate shook his dark brown hair as he slid his hand over her back and brought her back into the dance.

“What?”

“You’re too nice.”

“Is there such a thing as too nice?”

“Yes. Your sisters taught me that. But I think you were too busy playing dress-up to hear their lessons. Raven will never respect you. She won. You practically orgasmed when you saw her dress.”

“It was a great dress, and it’s not like I’m getting any from anyone else. That dress is the thrill of my night,” Allegra joked.

Nate just shook his head. “Someday being nice won’t be enough. Mark my words. Someday you’ll get in trouble for being such a pushover.”
