“Okay, okay! I will only let it go because you mentioned my full name which you only do when you are dead serious or super annoyed.” Jessica smirked
They started the second part of the prom by playing romantic songs for students to enjoy dancing. I am not interested in joining the remaining part of the prom. I am thankful that they made the light a little dim so I am not that visible.
“I hope you are all enjoying the night. I noticed that many of you are still shy to join the dance floor. The next song DESTINY will be played and this will be a gentlemen’s choice.” the MC said
My hand holding a pen that I slipped into my purse started moving as the song started playing. I felt like I was at home and was listening to a song to calm my nerves.
“Are you waiting for someone to ask you for a dance?” I heard May say
“My boyfriend I guess. If he has the guts to ask me.” I heard Jessica answer
“Is that Daniel on his way here,” Shane said
“May I have this dance?” Vladimir’s voice said with his hand covering my sketch
I raised my head and started looking around me to check. I pointed to myself to check if he was talking to me.
“Yes, he is asking you for a dance. Who else would he ask when his hand is literally in front of you?” Jessica teased
“May I have this dance?” Daniel said to Shane
“Are you just gonna sit there and watch them dance? In case you forgot, Vladimir is waiting for you. His hand might get cramps if he keeps on waiting.” May nudged me
“What are you waiting for? Vladimir is waiting and he might have something to say.” Jessica said
‘What will he say? Are you hiding something from me?” I asked
“Just go and dance,” Jessica said
“Are you hiding something that I should know of?” I asked Vladimir
“What would I hide from you?” he said as he put my hand on his neck
“I am not sure but from what I understand, there seems to be something going on,” I said
“I don’t know why your friends are saying that but I am not hiding anything,” he whispered to my ears and pulled me by the waist
“Aren’t we too close with each other?” I said
“So I can hear you properly. I don’t want to disturb the other people dancing,” he said
“Okay. What’s the secret?” I whispered to his ears
“I forgot to tell you that you look great tonight. I mean beautiful. Sorry, I don’t know what to say. I seriously suck at giving compliments.” he said blushing
“Well, thank you. You don’t look bad yourself. A lot of girls have been staring at you. I mean Shane who has a crush on you.” I teased
“You just love teasing don’t you,” he said moving his face closer
“You might accidentally kiss me if you keep on moving closer. I can steal your first kiss if you want me to.” I whispered
“Should I steal your first kiss too?” he whispered back
I must be out of my mind for telling him that. Why am I flirting with him when I am trying my best to stop myself from stuttering? Something unexpected might happen if the conversation continues.
“Why are you flirting back? You’re supposed to tell me to back off and act disgusted like you used to.” I replied
“Shall I tell you a secret?”
“Oh, secret. What is it? I love secrets.” I smiled while waiting for him to speak
“Are you trying to challenge me to a staring contest? I am still waiting for the secret that you will share. And my feet are starting to hurt so you should share it now.” I said
“I guess that’s my cue to let you rest. It was a pleasure to dance with for two consecutive songs. I don’t want to be called selfish for having you dance with me all night.” he said
“But what is the secret? You haven’t told me yet.”
“I’ll tell it to you later if you will be willing to dance with me again.” he winked
“Are you trying to make a deal with me? You are not sharing any secrets. You just wanted to make fun of me. You already got the first dance so no more dances with you,” I glared at him
“Oh come on honey. Do not be so sure of that.” he teased before
“So how did the dance go? Any confessions?” May asked
“Confession? What are you saying? Is that a secret that I should know of?” I said
“Oh, nothing. I was confused for a moment. I was thinking of the story I read.” she said before avoiding my eyes
Why do I feel something fishy going on? Jessica, May, and Vladimir are acting suspiciously. I brushed it off my mind and started massaging my calves. My feet are still adjusting to the heels that I was wearing.
“Hey,” Henry said
“Oh my goodness! Will you stop doing that? Why do all of you keep on surprising me like that?”
“Oh sorry. But it was your fault. It wasn’t mine.”
“Are you trying to blame me?”
“I didn’t say that but maybe I am saying it’s your fault.”
“I’m going to let this go because it’s valentines and we shouldn’t fight. What do you want? What are you doing here? Are you trying to have my hair pulled by your girlfriend?” I pouted
“She knows that I am coming here and she understands.”
“Does she?”
“Come on. Shall I have this dance?” he said offering his hand
“Okay, if I got my hair pulled out I am not going to hold back. So if you don’t want a problem then please leave me in peace.” I said
“Shall I have this dance?” Jackson asked
“Sorry, but I got here first. Go and look for someone else to dance with.” Henry said
“She didn’t accept your hand yet so better luck next time,” Jackson said before pulling my hand to let me stand
“That’s not fair,” Henry said before holding my other hand
“And they are planning to tear me apart while I am wearing a nice dress and looking my best. I wanted to be prim and proper for once but they are testing my patience,” I said while giving the two of them a boring look
“Sorry, you are always one of the boys that I often forget that you are a girl. Nah, you aren’t a girl. You are just wearing a dress to look like a lady.” Henry said
“Here we go again with the jokes. Just be thankful that I am wearing heels and a dress or I will... God knows what I will do to you.” I said
“Okay, she is not in a good mood so dance with her first. I better get out of here before I get my ears pulled.” Jackson said laughing before leaving us
“And you both knew how to get on my nerves. Can’t the two of you just let me have a break for tonight? It’s prom night.” I said to Henry as we started dancing
“That isn’t an option for you. It was included in the package when we became friends.”
“I didn’t sign up for that this prom so just go easy on me this prom okay,” I said
“Umm hey, can we exchange partners now? Your girlfriend is here waiting for you.” Jackson said
“Oh sure, I’m done teasing him for tonight so you can have your turn. Enjoy.” Henry said
“Oh wow. What are we doing now? Pretending that I am not here.” I said raising an eyebrow.
“You have grown taller but can you reach my shoulder,” he asked
“I did grow 3 inches long, thanks to the heels that I am wearing. Just wanted to inform you in case you wanted to know.” I said
“I guess you can reach my shoulders then or should I bend because you’re still small.”
“Tease me one more time about my height and I will kick you hard where it hurts. You know where that is since I kicked a soccer ball there accidentally. I might kill your children this time,” I smirked
“Oh my gosh! I should slap that mouth of yours. Since when have you become that violent? We don’t do that young lady,” he gasped while covering his mouth and acting girly
“And that is what my Nana would say to me. Stop acting girly. It doesn’t suit you.” I warned him
“I better return you to your seat before you lose your cool. Thank you for dancing with me and I hope you enjoy the rest of the prom. I’ll dance with you again if we have more time.” he said as he walked me back to our table.
