I sat back in one of the red cushioned chairs, watching my friends dance. I was at my sister, Kelsey’s, wedding. She was wearing a beautiful white a-frame dress that really complimented her beautiful, dark skin tone I had always been jealous of. She got the lovely Maine tan while I was (s/c). Her hair was a gorgeous chocolate brown with blonde highlights, making her even more beautiful. Mine was (h/c), but was always tangled and greasy looking. I sure was lucky to be one of her bridesmaids. Man, those make-up people can do wonders on me. That’s why I couldn’t wait to get married. For once, I’d be the most beautiful girl. If only I could find the perfect guy. I guess being ugly didn’t help at all. The only 3 words I’d wanted to hear my entire life from someone other than a family member: I love you. Sadly, I’d never received that-
“Good evening,” said a voice from above me. Startled out of my shock, I looked up, wondering who would want to talk to such a freak. On my left was an athletic man wearing a white tuxedo. His dark blonde hair stood on end, amazing me.
“H-hi,” I stuttered, putting on a hopeful smile.
“I apologize if I seem a little forward.”
“Oh, no, you’re fine. I was just off in my own little world.”
“I saw you from across the room. You seemed lonely.”
“Oh, I was never one for dancing,” I lied. I had always wanted to dance with some guy.
“Oh?” I looked up into his teasing hazel eyes and blushed.
“Yes. Dancing is so...so...”
“Beautiful?”
“Yes, beautiful. Wait, no. I mean pointless.”
“Have you ever danced before...?”
“Oh,_____. Sorry.”
“______. I am Zane. Have you ever danced before?”
“Well, I um, well...no.” I looked down at the ground, my face plopped in my hands. I was so un-ladylike.
“Then how can you say it is pointless?” he questioned.
“I just don’t like it, okay?” I felt his cool fingers below my chin, lifting my face so I would look at him. He didn’t say anything. “Um, Zane?” Was he going to ask me to dance?!
“Yes?”
“Why would you talk to me? I mean, it can’t just be because I looked lonely. I always look lonely.” He chuckled softly.
“You are not stupid. You are correct. I did not come over only because you looked lonely. You looked lonely and beautiful.”
“You don’t mean that?”
“Oh, I do. I could not stand to see someone like you without a partner.”
“I’m not usually this beautiful. I’m a freak.”
“I know a freak, and you are not that. You are very beautiful. You just refuse to see it. Likely because you feel less beautiful than your sister.” How did he-?
“How do you know?”
“Because, I often feel like you.” I felt my eyes widen in shock.
“How can you be a freak? You’re so elegant and handsome!” I quickly covered my mouth as my entire face heated up. He only smiled.
“Why thank you ______. I’m sure you’re very elegant and beautiful as well.” I rolled my eyes, knowing he was just trying to make me feel better.
“Well, I appreciate you coming over here to talk to me.” He gently held out a firm hand.
“May I have this dance?” I stared at him in shock. I had to be dreaming. Pinch me! Oh my god! Ohmygod!Ohmygod!Ohmygod!Ohmygod!!!!! Instead of voicing my thoughts, I put my hand in his, just to make sure he was real. When my hand didn’t fall into empty air, I realized I was about to dance...with a real guy...who asked me to dance...and said I was beautiful. I knew that I would always remember the exact way he said those 5 words to me that exact night.

“May I have this dance?”
Okay, so, I was reading another story in which a guy asks a girl to dance and this kind of popped into my head and I wrote it in like 10 minutes at like 10:30 while I was really tired. So... I'm sure the others will be better.
