Acrina felt the dance too intimate. She could feel shivers run through her spines as Marcelo kept swirling her to have her back in his arms.
After what felt like ages the music stopped and it was non other than Elliot who stopped the music.
"Didn't you guys hear the bell? Recess is over. Are you all waiting for a teacher to come in here and punish us all?" Elliot asked and handed the music box over to Jennie who was the owner.
Acrina pulled away from Marcelo and went to her seat and so did everyone just before the teacher came in.

All through the rest of the classes, Marcelo's eyes were never leaving Acrina. Acrina noticed his continuous gaze on her and stared at him.
She gave him a 'what is it?' kind of look and he smiled nodding his head. She frowned at him and looked back at the teacher who was present in the class.
After the class, school hours was over and everyone made their way to the school bus and some to their drivers and parents who awaited them.
"Rina!" Marcelo called out to Acrina who was on her way to the school bus.
"Yes Marcelo?" Acrina asked turning to him.
"Can you go out with me today?" He asked politely.
"Where to?" Acrina asked.
"It's a surprise. Meet me at Thompson's Cafe and I'll take you there." Marcelo replied and beamed at her before leaving.
Acrina looked at his retrieving back short of words. He just asked her out without even confirming if she will come or not. Unbelievable.
When Acrina got home, she had no idea the exact time she would be going to Thompson's Cafe. The cafe was popular and very close to their school. She decided to call Marcelo.
"Hi Marcelo. You didn't tell me the exact time I'll be coming?"
"Oh. Uhm can you get there before six?"
"That late? Where are we going exactly?"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore would it?" Marcelo asked smiling.
"Fine. I'll be there." Acrina replied and ends the call.
Acrina wore a green dress that wasn't to puffy but simple. It had white floral designs and the length was just at the top of her knee.
She curled her long hair and placed it in a ponytail.
She then wore her black Gucci sandals. She took one last look at the mirror before taking her black purse and left.
Marcelo wore a black shirt with the inscription 'Just Tonight' on it. He then wore Beach Knicker and a pair of white shoes.
He combed this hair in perfection and set out to leave.
When he got to the Cafe, he smiled on seeing Acrina sitting there waiting for him.
