Nic grabbed Essy's arm and pulled her to him. "Yeah like dat, but whoa Essy you scared da hell outta mae I thought ya was gonna hit me." Nic laughed and started dancing again. "Aiight so ya rejected me so my counta is ta dance around ya in circles." Nic did exactly like that. He pivoted and pivtoed while at the same time spinning around Essy in perfect time to the music. He was basically taunting her saying she can't escape. There's nowhere for her to go, because he would be in her face.
"Aiight Essy now what? What cha gonna do? Where ya goin? I gots ya trapped." Nic taunting her while he continued dancing. This was fun.

Arianna wasn't sure what had come over her. One moment she was talking to Allegra, the next she was standing not too far from Nic and Es, arms folded over her chest, eyes thinned to a glare. She hadn't even waited for Allegra's response before hurrying to the dance floor. Arianna didn't know what she was supposed to say, or even do. She just....didn't like them dancing like that together. Her boyfriend with one of his friends....Arianna felt violated and betrayed just watching them. Was she overreacting a bit? Arianna didn't know.

Nic stopped and stared at Ari. He blinked once and stepped in front of Essy. To protect her? Probably, but he was more focus on his girlie's face and slanted eyes than the girl behind him. "Hey, ma you look piss! What's sup baby? Someone not show up or somethin?" Nic really didn't think it was him that had made Ari mad. He didn't do anything wrong. Nic did however go to pull her in his arms while looking over his shoulder to smile at Essy and give her a I'll be right back look.

Arianna pulled slightly away from Nic, feeling even more put off by his touch now that she was already mad at him. She didn't say anything for a long moment, but waited until she had pulled him into a corner, away from any prying ears and, hopefully, eyes. It was probably useless, though. Anyone who'd payed attention to their surroundings would know the host and hostess were close to having an argument. That is, if neither of them could keep their cool.
"I don't like you dancing with her like that," Arianna admitted, refraining from using 'want' instead of 'like.' That word was far too controlling for her taste, even if she really did feel that way. Nic could either respect Arianna's feelings, or he could go on with his business. Arianna wasn't so sure she would forgive him right away if he went on grinding or...whatever he called those moves, with Esmeralda.

Dang it!! She exclaimed in her head when he grabbed her arm. She thought she could get away and maybe run to the bathroom and shut the door and hide forever. Well, not forever, cause the party wasn't lasting forever. And another hatch in her plan was that she didn't know the way to the bathroom but it didn't matter because he already caught her. Now she was getting even more flustered as they danced around in a circle in time to the music. Lord, if she ever got out of this she would never go to a party again.
Es stopped with a blink as she looked at Ari who looked really mad. Dang.. By the look on her face, she wasn't angry because someone didn't show up, that girl was glaring at the two of them. Of great, now her horrible dancing was going to get her in trouble with Ari? Well just screw it, she didn't want to deal with that mess. But then again, she didn't know why she was so mad. So she just stared at them both, bewildered, her face on fire until they turned to a corner to be alone.
She felt tears well in her eyes for some unknown reason, probably from humiliation. This was like a first for her and she was messing it all up not to mention dancing horribly. Es went over to a chair on the opposite side of the room and sat in it, putting her face in her hands for a moment as she tried to compose herself. She felt like a fool. Es tucked her long black hair behind her ear and glanced around the room, wondering what everyone else was doing and praying that she wasn't their main source of entertainment.

Nic glared at Ari before it soften. Maybe grinding wasn't the best dance moves and maybe he was being stupid. Nic cupped Ari's cheeks and smiled at her. Not the arrogant self absorbed smile, but the sincere one he reserved for her. "Ma, ya know I ... would never hurt ya like dat. Essy is like an older younger sister. Trust mae she ain't feelin me and I ain't feelin her. She's hungerin afta some cat named B in Slytherin. You ain't gots ta be jealous, but on da real if ya was grindin against some otha cat I think I would have pulled ya away and whoop his arse so I feel ya ma. I ain't gonna do dat type of dancin wid her no more."
Nic looked back at Essy and groaned. "Ma, look at her. She looks horrible and I knows she's anti-social and is just openin up. Trust me I think I known her for bout a good 2 or 3 years and dis is da only year I seen her wid peeps. Be pissed at mae, but let's go make her feel betta. We'll dance in a group. Come on, no more grindin. Word as B." Nic pulled his girl to Essy before she could reply and grabbed Essy's arm making her stand up.
"Essy, Ma, I'm sorry I'm a jerk. I didn't meant ta piss ya off or make my little homocidal sista sad. Merlin, knows ya two women will probably kill me off if I push ya close enough." Nic gave Essy a pointed stare. She had already almost killed him once and though Ari hadn't done it. He was sure it was only because she liked him. "So wid dat said and done let's..." Nic looked around. "Do da electric!" Nic looked at his turntable and thought about the song. He wasn't sure if it would pull up muggle songs. DO THE ELECTRIC! YOU CAN DO IT! IT'S THE ELECTRIC! BOOGY-WOOGY-WOOGY!P
The electric slide came on and nic pulled both girls over to Charlie and Hiro and stepped beside them. "Yall know how ta do da electric right?" Nic didn't even realize that the line went Charlie, Hiro, Nic, Essy, Ari. "Ery body knos da steps?" Nic stepped in tune with Charlie and the akward Hiro. He was lookin at his own two girls and not to his left.

Arianna would have given a sigh or relief if Nic had given her enough time. He understood why she was upset and had admitted that he would have done the same had it been her grinding with someone else, whether that other guy was a friend or not. She had worried she'd been overreacting, but even if she was it made her feel better to know her reaction wasn't much different than Nic's would have been. Arianna wasn't upset with him anymore and started to feel bad for Essy and how the Slytherin girl must be feeling. Again she didn't have time to do anything because Nic first spoke to Essy and then pulled them both to the dance floor, where Arianna stood feeling as awkward as Hiro. She didn't know the dance steps either.
"Hey Essy?" Arianna turned to the Slytherin girl, her voice low enough for Esmeralda to hear, though Nic might've caught a bit of it. "I'm really sorry. We're not...making this party very easy for you, are we? I didn't mean for you to get caught in the middle."

Hiro had grabbed Charlie around the waist to help her keep balance. He must have done something wrong in the moves because he was pretty sure that this wasn't a dance anymore.
"Hard to say I can keep it up if I haven't even got it right yet." Hiro replied.
Or maybe it was a good move, Charlie's arm was on his shoulder and as he held her in his arms the world seemed to fade away. It was one of those rare moments where everything seems right and you wouldn't have to worry about any troubles. Of course Nic, whether he meant to or not, had broken it with his exclamation of 'da electric!' and stopping the current music. While he was trying to change the song Charlie quickly gave Hiro a quick run down of the rest of the moves in the dance before they were joined by the small group. And now the self proclaimed 'great dancer' was trying with great difficulty to keep up with the Slytherins

"You'll get it down. Luckily after going one set to the right and another to the left, all you need to do is dip forward, and as you're movin' back, you sorta kick up your heel to move ya counterclockwise," she said as she explained quickly before letting go of him and coming up next to him again as the line of people went ready to boogie down. Hopefully by the end of this, she'd be blushing from all of the dancing, and not because she had been very close to Hiro.
YOU CAN FEEL IT... IT'S ELECTRIC! BOOGY WOOGY WOOGY!

Allegra squeeled again at the sight of Beni and returned her hug with one equally enthusiastic. "So you know Chad then?" she commented, waving a cheerful hello to Ben.
It ws then that Ari leaned into her and Allegra caught sight of Nice freaking on some other girl. Well, Allegra wasn't sure what kind of relationship Nic had with his dance partner, but Allegra had to agree with Ari on this. If he was going to dance like that, then he better be dancing on his own girl and not some other. Allegra didn't have a chance to voice her opinion though as Ari took care of the situation.
"So food?" Allegra asked, realizing she hadn't eaten since breakfast.

Chad smiled slightly as Allegra's suggestion. He was always up for food. "Sounds good," he told her with a smile, his hand squeezing hers again lightly. He looked over at the table of food, eying some of the goodies that lay on it. Chad suddenly found himself really wanting midnight to hurry up and get here, although he wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it was because he had an idea in his head of what he wanted midnight to be like. A smile graced his lips at the thought of it and started to tug Allegra to the food. Looking over at the other two, he wondered about them.
"Would you care to join?" he asked Allegra's friends.

She was staring at the ground in humiliation when all of a sudden, she felt a strong hand on her arm, pulling her out of her chair. Es looked up, it was Nic. She just looked at him, trying not to cry or look angry or look..anything. Her face was blank and it was even harder to do so when he mentioned them wanting to kill him. It was the truth and she couldn't help it that he tended to push people's buttons. That was probably why Ari was so mad at him..them.. mad at them. But before anyone could get all emotional with apologies or anything, he had pulled both her and Ari to the dance floor.
He probably didn't even realize it, but she was in between Ari and Nic. Was that weird? Did Ari want to be next to Nic? Would she freak out at her? She attempted to do the dance steps and then realized that she actually knew this dance! A grin crept onto her face until she heard Ari's voice next to her, talking to her. She almost winced but looked to her, giving her the chance to yell at her or something, but by the look on her face, she wasn't about to call her out. She listened to her and relief almost flooded onto her face but a blush got there first.
"Uhm..I'm sorry too.. We probably didn't look just like friends the way we were dancing, but between you and me-"
She glanced over at Nic and lowered her voice some more.
"-he made me do it.."
She let out a nervous laugh.
"It's just.. I'm kind of socially retarded and since I taught him some magic I thought he'd wanna teach me his skill..ya know, dancing. But I think I kind of screwed it all up.."
She let out another nervous laugh and continued doing the steps that were slowly coming back to her.

"Mmmmmokay!" Beni grinned and finally placed her eyes on the assortment of edible delights. "Ari sure stacked the place well." She didn't just mean the food, though. The music was great, everybody was getting into some muggle dance, and everyone she saw were amicable. "She ought to have parties more often." Beni looked at Ben and grabbed his hand. "Are you hungry? Even a little ravenous, maybe? Or just a tad starved?" There went the odd, repetitive questions in threes. Just as the world turned, she was surely there to be... odd... in her manner of speaking. "Either of three, you must grant a dance to this dancing fool," she pointed to herself and smiled.

She had only been seeing Chad a week or so, but for some reason it just felt right to her and she kept her hand in his as he made the way to the buffet. Allegra followed along willingly, grinning over her shoulder at Beni and Ben, hoping they'd join. "So what looks good?" she asked, answering her own question as she scanned the table. "Sushi!" The Japanese delicacy was definitely a Thornton favorite and she knew at Ari's party, the fish would be good.

Once again, Ben had the questioned answered for him. He smiled at Beni, not minding at all. He just nodded and headed toward the table after Allegra but then stopped and rounded on Beni. "No," he said quickly, "No, no, no, no, no dancing. Ben does not dance. It is not pretty." He was determined to not have to make a fool of himself in front of so many people.
