Faith, or as she now thought of herself, Candi, was brought out of her cheering about the cake by someone talking to her. But it wasn't just anyone. As a cheerleader, she remembered having many guys interested in her, but this guy was different than any of the high school boys she'd met. Her jaw literally dropped open as she looked at the dashing man, and then her eyes began to sparkle. She'd already been having a good time at the ball, but things were looking like they were about to get even more fun.
"Like, oh my God. Of course we totally can dance!" All trances of a Boston accent had faded from her voice. She was every inch the valley girl now, down to the tiniest inflection of her words. Grinning at him, her eyes lit up with delight, she actually giggled in a way that had never been heard on those lips before, and fixed her hair to make sure it looked alright.
"I hope you're, like, a good leader or whatever. Cause I don't really, like, know fancy dancing, you know? Just cheering." For him, though, she'd try. He really was dreamy, she decided. Glancing quickly around the room, she saw nothing else as interesting as this guy. So she giggled again and took his offered hand in hers, practically sparkling at him with good cheer.
