Chapter 1
There is an event being held at only one school, where once a year, all the lights in the city are turned off at night for a couple of minutes, and everyone is forced outside of their comfort zone. During this time, anyone can do anything to anybody without anyone finding out.
It's 7 PM at the moment. The venue is gorgeous; the ceiling, pitch black with little blue bulbs which are lit up like stars. In the center, there is a huge chandelier that gives off a dull glow. Beautiful tables are scattered along the room,excluding the stage. Everything would have been perfect if my friends didn't ditch me. Wonderful, right?
We girls are all wearing gowns or cocktail dresses, while the boys are dressed in expensive suits, with matching bow or ties. This night would go along much better if I had a date. Oh well, at least my best friend, Gail is happy; flirting with her so called boyfriend. She happily smiles at my direction as I walk over.
"Angelina, don't give me that look, I'm sorry for not accompanying you," she looks at me with pleading eyes. I roll mine at her.
"It's okay, be happy with your boyfriend," I say sarcastically, emphasizing the word 'boyfriend'.
Suddenly, Gails boyfriend -Rease- contributes into the argument. "Are you jealous of Gail not being with you, or are you jealous of me being with her?" he mocks.
Once Rease started going out with Gail, he changed. We all know how terrifying it would be if she found out that Rease is going out with other girls. In short, he is afraid of my best friend. He is such a coward. I let out a smile, and remember that he had the nerve to tease me.
I stare, shooting daggers at him. Then he laughs. "Get out of here and get your own date, so you won't be lonely anymore. And if you don't find a date, I'm here. I can date two girls at the same time," he chuckles and winks, as Gail slaps him on the shoulder playfully.
"If you dare to," she starts. "Then I wouldn't have a choice but to leave you dead cold in the middle of the street," she grins then starts to laugh.
"No babe, we both know you won't do that, you can't resist me." he pouts."Aww, you're so cute." she leans into him giving him a peck on the lips. I jokingly cover my eyes at them being lovey in public place. I then slap the back of Rease's head.
"Hey you two, no PDA here! God, you're so embarrassing," After my remark, they both laugh.
"You're just jealous, admit it already," he teases me again.
I sigh. "Okay okay, if that will make your mouth shut. I will leave you two now, it seems like you want me out of here anyway." we laugh.
While I give them space, I walk to the catering and look at the food. As my eyes wander among the tables of entrees, my mouth starts to water. I decide to eat now, since there's no way I would ask a guy:
"Would you be my date? Because I don't have a date,"
That would never happen, it's far too embarrassing. That's why I should eat everything in plain sight. There is still is an hour before the party starts. I need to find my other friend, Russel. I cross my fingers, hoping he is still dateless.
"Hey there, Angel," well, speaking of the devil. I smile as I turned around to see him.
"Hey-" I stop when I see him with a girl, and my smile turns into a frown.
"Why didn't you tell me you have a date?" I raise my eyebrow as I question him. He's with a girl who is quite pretty, wearing baby pink dress falling above knees, hugging the shape of her body matching her silver heart shaped necklace.
Surely, Russel knows how to pick a girl.
" I just met her, her name's Trisha. Where is your date, Angel?" he asks me suspiciously.
I start panicking. "I don't know, I think my prince's late, well he didn't really ask me I think. Okay I'm not going to lie, I need to find a date. What should I do Sel?" I whisper at him. I could tell he sees the fear in my face. as he looks at the students scattered around the venue, everyone seems to have a partner.
"Well good luck, Angel. You look beautiful tonight, I'm sure you'll find your prince. Sorry I can't be your partner," he smiles and kisses me on the forehead. Well, my friend is naturally sweet.
I couldn't help but smile. "Thanks Russ, go enjoy your time with Trisha, she's your date right?"
"If you need me I'm there," he points to bar beside the cater. The bar has various types of drinks: pop, juice, and even tea.
"Ehem Ehem, mic test," The principal says while holding the microphone, and standing is the small stage. "Our party is now starting!" All of the students scream happliy "Let's start with my very long speech,"
We all grumble in unison, which made us all laugh, including the principal,
"Just joking. I want to thank you all for coming to this event, this is a celebration for upcoming valentine's day, yes tomorrow will be the day, I want to thank my wife for taking care of me, for loving me with all your heart, I love you, and always be in love with you," As people start to lose interest, he quickly to wraps up. "Students, enjoy this party, I made this for all of you, for my wife, and for all the couples there." The principal in his mid thirties. Young and handsome, wearing simple white tuxedo. We all cheer as he takes out a bouquet of flowers and gives it to his wife sitting at a table.
"Wow sweet." I said bitterly. I still don't have a date, and everyone is slow dancing right in the center of the hall. How can I be the only one who doesn't have a partner?
Suddenly, someone taps on my shoulder. I look in their direction, and see a pair of green eyes. I Immediately know who the owner of those eye are. "Sel? Why are you here? " I ask, confused.
"Can I have the honor of this dance, my lady?" he takes out one of his hands.
I step closer. " Where's Trisha?"
"Don't worry, she didn't ditch me, she said we should dance with our friends and later we would meet up again," he smiles.
"So, would you be my dance? Angel?" he says with his unrealistic British accent. He's wearing red polo inside his black coat with matching green necktie, which made his beautiful emerald green eyes sparkle. I am wearing a red and black sweetheart dress that matches his outfit perfectly .
"Yes mister British," we laugh. I then I take his hand, and we go to the dance floor.
We talk about the memories we share during our childhood: the amount of embarrassment we caused, and all of the fun we had with Gail, Hans, Raven, and Sean.
"Come to think of it, where's Sean now?" I ask Russ. Sean was the one who always bullied me. Not the typical kind of bully, he is more verbal; always insulting me: my looks, failures, and many imperfections I make. You think I would ditch him, but he was very nice if he put his mind to it.
"He went to France two years ago. Remember?" he points out like it is the most obvious thing in the world.
Why didn't Sean tell me? Am I the only one who didn't know?
"Don't tell me he didn't tell you?" he says, startled. "That's why you couldn't come that day, when we sent him off in the airport," I'm so shocked, that I am unable to even mutter a word. "He said you're sick. Angel." Russ finishes.
I don't feel well now. "Russ, lets meet later," I say, distantly. "Dance with Trisha now, I'm going to bathroom."
(Play the song here===>)
I retreat from his sight. I'm more than confused. Oh my God, Sean didn't tell me anything, and he is one of my childhood friends. As I was franticly keeping calm, I heard a click sound, and my sight was gone. God, already? I am still in the dance floor, and I don't have any plans to be kissed by a stranger. Yet, I don't see anything, and I don't know which way I should go.My mind went blank, when someone suddenly grabs me. He places both hands on my waist. Once I realize he wasn't letting go, I wrap my arms around his neck. The song is still playing, and I am starting to believe it is a wonderful night. I don't even know who this guy is; yet I won't say anything, since he might recognize who I am, which would ruin the magic. I sway with the mysterious man, feeling bubbly inside. He smells like expensive cologne, which is very addicting. When the song stops, everything started to happen in slow motion.
I felt his breath fanning in my lips, and in a second maybe, before he starts kissing me. I was frozen still, savoring the minty yet sweet flavor of his lips."I missed you, Angel," he says in a whisper. His voice was unrecognizable. I can feel my body is slightly shaking.
