With the start of a new year, things tended to be a little hectic. January tended to be quiet events-wise, to give people time to get everything under control and get themselves sorted to deal properly with the second semester. But when February rolled around, that all changed. That all-important holiday, St Valentine's Day, was just around the corner, and the Events Committee was sure to let everyone know about it.
This year the dance fell a few days before Valentine's itself. Great big heart-shaped posters appeared all over the school, inviting everyone to don their cutest outfits and join in a celebration of fun and romance on the evening of Friday, February 10th in the ballroom.
On the night in question, the ballroom was awash in shades of pink and red. Candles and spotlights had been charmed to take on the colors, and the ceiling was covered in heart-shaped balloons, some of which were also tied to chairs and tables around the outside of a spacious dance floor. The walls were decked with streamers (again in pink and red), and in the corner a DJ was set to fill the room with every 80s ballad ever recorded, a bubble-blowing machine at her side to cover the dancers.

Luka/Addy
Adelaide rested her head on Luka's shoulder with a light laugh. "If Rosenthal starts karaoke-ing to this, I'm outta here."
Carly/Riley
She was wearing her shortest, tightest, lowest cut dress, a black and white number that never failed to empress. She eyed the crowd for more appropriate arm candy than the doofy junior whose idea of romance was taking her out to the quod field for a quick grope under the stars.
Thorn/Cinna
The smile quickly vanished and she clamped her hands over her mouth once she realized how loudly she'd said the last part.
Thorn/Cinna/Stas/Bernadine
Anastas laughed because he couldn't even hear Bernadine saying this. It was like he was standing next to Abernathy. "They are impressive, are they not?"
At which point Hawthorne blushed. "I called dibs on them you bitches. Paws off my tits."
"I give my claim to Abernathy, goddess of the breasts we worship." Stas bowed down to her, gesturing with his hands as if he wasn't worthy.
Thorny was decidedly silent. Clearly the pecking order had been established and he'd been elbowed out by both Abby and Stas. That's about when he noticed the public spectacle they were causing and the frown riding high on Morgendorfer's face.
As a chaperon he didn't like to get involved in the teen drama, but this little knot of debauchery had to be broken up. "Why don't you hit the dance floor, burn off some of that excess energy?"
Bernadine/Stas
She also had to set up Luka's surprise for Addy before she left (which thankfully came at a delightfully ridiculous price and she intended to spend the whole lot down at Apple's Sweets at the very next chance she got). So she turned up a little late to Anastas' room which was there agreed upon meetup.
