644 Frog at the Bottom of the Well
Emma finally got rid of the sarcasm of Miranda and the group of friends, and found Beth and Mia in the crowd, and then took straight steps and walked over.
"Emma! You're so beautiful today!" Beth screamed first, and even Derek, who was standing next to him, nodded seriously. "Mia is right, you are definitely the biggest focus tonight."
Mia smiled and poked Emma with her elbow, "Kenny is looking at you." Emma turned her head and saw that Kenny showed a charming smile, but in Emma's eyes, she felt very stupid. Then Miranda noticed Kenny's strangeness, raised her right foot and stepped on Kenny's instep. Kenny screamed in pain, and was in chaos around.
Emma and others laughed.
After finally Emma relaxed a little, the music around her cut into the dance track, announcing that the prom had officially begun. The couples stepped into the dance floor and began to enjoy their own private time. Emma looked at Beth and Mia who were still standing beside her. They were still worried that she was too lonely alone, so they were unwilling to leave, which blocked a lot of trouble for her.
However, tonight should not belong to her alone, but to everyone.
Emma patted Archie on the shoulder, "Beth has been waiting for this moment for a long time, go and invite her." Beth even worried that he would not be able to dance, so he started practicing waltz a month in advance. Archie looked at Emma hesitantly, but Emma blinked at him, waved her fists and cheered, "Don't let Beth down!"
Archie hurriedly walked forward, and Beth turned around and looked at Emma. She was still worried that Emma would stay here alone, but Emma waved her hand and held Mia's arm. Beth was a little relieved, turned around and grabbed Archie's right hand, and walked into the dance floor clumsily.
"Guess how long can Archie's feet last?" Emma said in Mia's ear. Beth really has no talent for dancing. She and Mia have suffered a lot.
Mia pursed her lips and nodded slightly, as if thinking, "Five minutes, the most!"
"I'm definitely three minutes at most, a song." Emma said firmly. Before she could finish her words, Beth stepped on Archie's instep, one, another, and another, three-match at the beginning, causing Emma and Mia to laugh out loud. She was so happy.
Then Emma approached Mia's ear, "I want to go over and get some drinks, do you want it?"
Mia turned her head, "I'll go with you."
Emma shook her head and said with a smile, "You are not a hen, and I am not a chick." Then she raised her head and looked at Derek who was standing next to her very bored, "I won't bring you your drink, you and Archie will get it yourself later." After that, Emma let go of Mia's hand and walked away.
After walking a few steps away, standing in the dense crowd, you can see that Derek invited Mia. However, Mia was not shy and generously held Derek's right hand, and the two of them entered the dance floor. Emma then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two friends on the dance floor, showing a big smile.
I came to the beverage area all the way, and only saw soda and lemon juice in my sight, which was really nothing new. Emma looked at it, and then saw that there was rainbow candy in the snack area next to me. She picked up a pack and put it in her palm. Her slightly dull mood just now jumped up.
"Poor girl." A sigh came from beside her, Emma turned her head and then showed a helpless expression, "What the hell do you want to do? Miranda."
Miranda, wearing a big red bandage, had a proud capital that was particularly eye-catching. With her explosive curly hair, she would almost become the focus. At this moment, she had a look of regret and regret on her face, as if she saw a pitiful stray dog on the roadside. "I just think that it's really pitiful to come to the dance alone. The smell of loser is really too obvious." After saying that, Miranda raised her right hand and fanned under her nose, as if she smelled some stench. "Everyone said you are a stoic figure in the school and have walked on the Hollywood red carpet, but today I can't find a suitable dance partner? God, I have never seen such a desolate and such a sad prom."
Emma didn't want to talk to Miranda at all. It was not that she couldn't find a dance partner, but she refused countless invitations. Her dance partner was only for that person. Since that person refused, she would rather be alone than find a replacement. What's more, there is no one who can replace that person.
But Miranda obviously didn't want to let Emma go easily. She pulled a man from the side, "I really can't bear to continue watching. I'm so kind. So, I found a dance partner for you."
The man was a member of the rugby team and was in the same group as Kenny. He was muscular and simple in his limbs. Emma almost spoke without waiting for Miranda. She waved at the man impatiently, "Justin, get out of here." Then she looked at Miranda, "You don't have to worry about my business! If you have so much time, why don't you enjoy your dance? In my opinion, the highest point in your life is tonight. If you don't enjoy it well, time will pass, ticking, ticking!"
"Emma Stone!" Miranda's face changed immediately, but Emma didn't intend to pay attention to her at all. After experiencing Hollywood conspiracies, Miranda's methods were really like playing house. Emma suddenly realized that she was indeed no longer an ordinary high school student. She was very satisfied with this state, so she nodded with a smile.
In Miranda's eyes, she even disdained and contempt for herself, "Then I wish you a lonely life! I'll attend a graduation prom alone, like those math freaks and technology otakus, who are completely losers. They know not to appear in such an occasion to embarrass you. You actually appear. You will become the laughing stock of the entire school. At that time, everyone will write, "Lonely Emma", remember the biggest black spot in your life. Haha!" Miranda smiled brightly, very proud.
Graduation year book is extremely important for every high school student. Even if Emma knew that this was just an ordinary page in the long river of life, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she thought of it.
However, Emma did not intend to continue to get entangled with Miranda, so she turned around and planned to leave. But Emma forgot one thing. She had already walked out of high school and saw the world. After her vision became wider, her mind naturally matured. But Miranda did not, and neither did anyone else around her. This is a high school prom, and most of them are high school students.
Miranda shouted, "It's so pitiful without a dance partner." The group of people around her snickered softly, with a small voice, but the contempt and repulsion became more and more obvious, as if you could feel the ubiquitous eyes casting towards Emma, and the deep eyes were full of spikes.
Emma wanted to argue, but she felt powerless. She didn't understand what it would be wrong for a person to participate in a dance. The point is that she didn't want to explain to these people because it was unnecessary and could not be explained. But everyone's eyes were projected, constantly compressing her living space. Even if she wanted to enjoy her time alone, it became impossible.
Emma suddenly felt a little bored. It would be better if she didn't attend such a graduation dance. She originally thought that this would be a conclusion of her student days, leaving beautiful memories and becoming an important stop in her life; but now it seems that her student days had ended a long time ago, and attending tonight's dance was meaningless at all. This made her want to leave the scene.
"Roar." A sound of gasping in the air came from behind, and then it started to sound one after another, which made Emma completely lose her patience. She originally didn't want to have some experience with Miranda, and she didn't even think there was anything to argue, just like... it was like an adult facing a childish mess; but Miranda was getting more and more aggressive, and she decided to teach Miranda a lesson. So Emma turned around and was ready to argue with Miranda for three hundred rounds, but Emma's voice couldn't help but get stuck in her throat. She found that everyone's eyes were not on her, but looking in the same direction.
Emma was stunned. What happened? Then she also looked at it subconsciously and was completely stunned.
At this time, someone entered the venue again at the entrance, and the dance party had already started for thirty minutes. It was a bit late for a while. However, the lighting engineer still dedicatedly turned the spotlight over and illuminated the platform again.
One person, only one person, is still a single man.
He wore a well-fitting black suit, with a three-piece retro design rigorous and elegant, with a white shirt, a black vest, a black bow tie, a silk collar, and a white square scarf. Every detail revealed a classical charm; the tailoring outlined the upright body, wide shoulders, strong chest, slender legs, and the fabric tightly wrapped the lines of the limbs, making people unable to help but start to outline the invisible scenes in their minds; the neat short hair was neatly combed into the back, revealing the sparse and heroic facial features, just standing in the center, the calm demeanor and elegant temperament gathered all the light, and wherever they were sight, the breathing sound was cut off in an instant, and they could only remain motionless in a daze.
As soon as he appeared, the restlessness of youth in the air slowly settled down, and the music was still echoing noisy, but there was a kind of silence that was difficult to say. The powerful force accumulated by the years made the air solidify. In an instant, everyone fell into uncontrollable suffocation.
