Cinderella

Jakes Point of View

I have to admit. Which is extremely hard for me to admit. I was totally destroyed that I got rejected. By my best friend. Who I am totally in love with. I've loved Deana since I laid eyes on her. Returning back to school made the feelings come back even more.

Though I left for five years I never had a girlfriend. Once. Not because I couldn't, because that would be a total lie considering all the wannabes who wanted to date me for fame. I was in love with Deana.

I was waiting for her. My plan all along was to return for the last year of school so that we would get close again, maybe even more. But to be honest I was totally destroyed that she hadn't tried to be in contact with me once since I left. Although recently I have learnt that it was not her fault but the awful step sisters of hers keeping us a part, out of jealousy, over the years. Typical. Just great.

I really wanted a dance with Deana, she is so beautiful and she always knows the right things to say. And that smile is just breath taking. I love her smile, it is just natural and beautiful. I would be so lucky to have a single dance with her.

"Why you so down mate?" Chad asks, whilst I remember him being here. I was so deep in thought I totally forgot is was here with him.

But how could I not. Thinking about Deana makes me go off into another world. And ...

"Earth to Jake" he said waving a hand in front of my face. My head snaps to his direction.

"Sorry man. Just a bit down as I was rejected by Deana." I spoke.

"You finally asked her out, but I can tell, man, she feels the exact same way. She gives of this vibe you know."

"No, chad, I asked for a dance at the ball. And she said yes then said 'we can't go together it's all part of the mystery.' And 'you'll have to find me'."

"Okay. Hold up. So she didn't flat out reject you then, your just being a drama queen. And a mysterious girl is the best type of girl. And dude just find her at the dance thing."

"I will and I will stop at nothing."

I was sat by myself as Chad hadn't arrived yet to sit next to me on the coach. Whilst I was looking out the window I took a quick glance at the people walking down the aisle of the bus.

Then I saw this stunning girl walking down the aisle looking rather lost. She wore a beautiful blue dress, a mask over half her face and blonde hair that was so beautiful and matched her look beautifully, obviously natural.

She still walked down the bus, when her eyes landed on the seat next to me.

"Hey Excuse me, do you mind if I sit next to you."
