I was exhausted from the party and decided to rest the next day which was a saturday.After taking my bath and having my breakfast,I layed on my bed and decided to text the mysterious guy from the party.
He replied my text a few minutes later and said he thought I was the prettiest girl at the party and therefore couldn't resist but give me his number so we socialize.He said his name was Harrison Matheson but prefers Harry.
"Harry Potter!?",I teased.We texted the whole day and honestly,it felt like I knew him all my life but we just met.This world is indeed a strange place.No dought.
A few days passed and we became very close.We texted each other everyday and had a few calls.We also met up at a cinema to watch a movie and that was the first time I saw him properly.He was tall,light skined,brown eyes and brown curly hair.
It was almost the end of the month and my school was preparing towards the annual evening mascurate ball.Everyone was really excited.It was my first mascurate ball,so I planned to make it memorable for me.
For this ball there was no strict uniformed look chosen.All you had to do is wear a ball gown and a mask to get in.The girls and I were really excited and since Emily,Grace and Olive were also day students,we decided to go together.
The day of the party arrived and Emily,Grace,Vero and Olive were all beautifully dressed waiting for me down stairs at my house.Emily and Grace wore matching blue ball gowns with blue masks designed with a feather.
Vero was in a green evening dress with a green mask designed with flowers.She also had a green artificial rose flower in her hair.Olive was dressed in a yellow ball gown with a yellow mask.
I couldn't decide what to wear so I asked them to go ahead without me and I'd join them soon.They offered to help me pick an outfit but I insisted on doing it myself.
I arrived later at the party dressed in a white dinner dress,white heels and a white half butterfly mask.I also place a white artifical rose in my hair.I was looking whitishly splendid.
I made my way to my friends while scanning the crowd for a sign of Harry.I couldn't find him before getting to my friends.Ruth was dressed in a voilet ball gown with a voilet mask while Juanita wore a purple gown with a purple mask.
We decided to grab some drinkings.A romantic song came on and we stood at the drinks bar watching as couples waltzed on the dance floor.Suddenly,I heard a voice beside me."Can I have this dance?".I knew that voice.It was Harry.
He took my hand and led me to the dance floor.We danced together for sometime then he led me outside.We walked in the school garden for sometime as the cool breeze caressed our skins.
We came to a stop near the garden seat or lover's bench as we call it.I sat down looking up at the stars."It's a beautiful night,isn't it?",he asked.I nodded with a smile."A beautiful night,with a beautiful girl",he continued.
I blushed and looked at him.He smiled but there was something different about that smile.It made my heart skip a beat.His eyes sparkled behind his black and white mask which blend perfectly with his black and white suit.
"Are you just going to stand there looking at me?Is that why you brought me out here,away from the party?",I asked raising an eyebrow."No",he replied simply while looking away.He seemed to be in conflict with his mind.
"I brought you here to tell you .......",he tried to say but was interrupted by James McAllister.His medium heighted brown skin,brown eyed friend."Yo!What are you doing out here?",James said before spotting me on the bench.He playfully winked at me and then turned to Harry.
"You can romance with your girlfriend later,the guys are looking for you.Come",he continued to say,practically draging Harry away before he could say a word.
He turned and looked at me just standing there confused.I could tell he didn't want to leave me hanging but had no choice.He then shouted,"Wait for me here!!!".
I sat down on the bench."Girlfriend",I blushed for a reason I didn't know,as it echoed in my mind.Harry and I were almost like bestfriends,so why does James calling me his girlfriend make me blush.
I looked at the stars still wondering why being called Harry's girlfriend made me blush.I also wondered what he wanted to tell me before being interrupted.Hundreds of stuff he might say rushed through my mind like horses.I was in a dilemma.
