As I walked across the room hand in hand with Chase, I felt myself melting against his shoulder.
The hall was beautifully decorated with curtains, lights, and ribbons. There was fruit punch in every bowl. The DJ was looking cute with his headphones firmly fixed.
"I never knew you could dress this feminine" Chase whispered in my ear.
He was talking about my pink ball gown, tiara, and silver flat shoes. I didn't like the color but, Stacy made me wear it.
"Well I can," I said and chuckled. Just then I saw Annie, the school heiress looking at us. She raised the corner of her mouth in disgust.
When she saw me looking at her, she turned her face.
"Hello, students" we heard a voice say. We turned around and saw the principal standing on the platform.
"Hello, Mr. Oliver" we replied in unison.
"Good evening my dears. First of all, I want you to give yourselves a round of applause for how beautiful and handsome you all are looking." He said and we all ululated and applauded loudly.
"I must commend you for the effort." He went on.
"I want you to know that this is a party and you just have to have fun. So I want you to have fun all you want but, don't forget that you are the leaders and future of the world.
So, don't party too much, party just enough. Good evening once again." He said and stepped down. We applauded him as he did.
"Hey babe" Chase said
"Yeah"
"Do you know her?" He said pointing to someone behind me. I turned around and saw a girl in a blue flay gown, silver-colored shoes, and about four rows of blue beads around her neck.
"Kiara," I said and hugged her.
"Hi, love. You look chic." She said and then looked up. "Who's he?" She whispered rather than said.
"Oh, where are my manners?" Chase this is Kiara Yang, Yang this is my boyfriend Chase Lionel."
"Nice to meet you," Chase said, offering a hand.
"And you too." She said taking it.
Just then my phone rang. I smiled as mum's name ran across the screen.
"B.R.B," I said and excused myself.
* * * * * *
"Mum, I get it," I said over the phone "fine, I'll be home before dinner. I love you." I said and hung up.
All of a sudden, I saw people rushing towards a particular spot. I wanted to join them but, something told me not to so, I stayed put.
"Kenzie, aren't you going?" I heard someone say. I turned around and saw Kiara standing two feet close and apart from me.
"Oh, Kiki, em....... Going where exactly?" I asked looking around.
"I don't know exactly but, I overheard some girls saying that some famous artists are in the back room. Come let's go"
"I'm not sure I should"
"Come on, you don't want to be boring"
"I'm not boring"
"Then let's go" when I hesitated, she pulled my hand and dragged me along.
She pulled me through the large crowd all the while, holding on to her beads.
Her eyes seemed to glisten in the light of the chandelier.
Her skin sparked as her hair blew across her face. Her lips were..... oh stop it Kenzie, I said to myself and turned. My eye caught something.
I pulled out my hand from hers and dimmed my eyes to see more clearly. It worked because I saw two couples kissing. They both looked like people I knew. The boy looked too familiar. Was that..... Chase?.
