Cole's Pov

"Good Morning, Dad", I say and sit on my chair.

" Good Morning",

"Where is Sarah?",

" She had to meet Rose, so she went early",

"Okay",

" What is there for breakfast, today?" I ask.

"Only coffee and corn flakes", he places coffee and a bowl of cornflakes on the table.

" What?" I ask him surprised, my Dad thinks breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so there is always something special for the breakfast in our house, pancakes, egg, bacon, waffles, etc., and we only have cornflakes when Dad is not at home.

"I am sorry Cole, I am preparing this special dish for the dinner",

" You have started to cook for dinner at 7:30 in the morning?",

"Yeah, this dish takes time to cook?" he tells me without looking at me.

" Why are you making this special dish for the dinner, by the way?",

"Ahh... I have... I have", he stammers. What is wrong with my Dad this morning?

" Yeah, Dad?",

"I have... I have invited my girlfriend to have dinner with all of us tonight",

" Oh! Did Mom know about this?" I don't know how but the first thought that came to my mind was about my Mom, even though they have been divorced for many years it will be weird to meet Dad's girlfriend because he has never brought his previous girlfriends to meet us if he is bringing her to meet us, it must be pretty serious.

"Yeah, I told her, she said she is happy for me",

What? My Mom said she is happy for my Dad?

" Wow!! Good",

"Bring Luna for tonight's dinner, okay", he tells me.

" Okay",

My cell phone buzzes, and it's the message from Luna and Char. "Can you come early today for school, I have some news for you", says Luna's message, and Char has said in her message," I have a surprise for you"?

"Dad I have to go early for school today, so bye" What did Luna and Char have to tell me at the same time.

......................

It's been thirty minutes since I have been waiting for Luna in the canteen. She asked me to come early, and now she is late.

"Cole", Char calls me and I turn around to see her, and she is not in a wheelchair, she is walking with help of crutches, the cast on her hand is removed, and also cast on her left leg is also removed and replaced with a walking boot, and her right leg's long leg cast is replaced with a cylindrical cast.

" Char!! You are walking", I exclaim in excitement.

"Yeah, thanks to crutches", she sits opposite me and places her cylinder cast leg on a chair beside her.

" So this was your surprise?",

"Yes",

" You made my day, with this surprise, Char", I tell her.

"What surprise?" Luna, comes and asks.

"Char doesn't have to use a wheelchair anymore, now she can walk with the help of crutches", I tell her.

" Oh. Good", she sits beside me.

"I also want to tell you something", She looks at me and then at Char.

" You want me to go?" Char asks her.

Luna says looking at Char's leg, "No, it's okay"

"Okay", Char says, and starts to look at her cell phone or pretend to look at her cell phone.

"So, what do you want to tell me?" I ask Luna.

" Ah...you know about debutant ball?" she asks me.

"Yeah, I have heard about them, and also I have read about debutant balls in novels",

" Okay, so you know what is debutant ball, Great!",

"Why you are asking about it though?",

" Because I am debuting in the society at the debutant ball", she tells me. Doesn't she know everybody in her society of socialites, so why does she want to debut in society at a debutant ball?

I don't ask her this question because I don't want to offend her, so I just say "Wow!",

"Right, I wanted to be a debutant at a debutant ball since I was five years old, I used to dress up, and Ray and I used to play debutant ball", at the name of Ray I wince, but Luna doesn't notice that she keeps on talking about debutant ball.

"Oh", I say slowly.

" So Cole I wanted to ask if you will escort me to debutant ball", What? Me?

"Lu, I am sorry I can't, I don't know how to dance",

" What? We dance all the time, Cole", Luna raises her eyebrow.

"Yeah, in the room alone, not in front of people",

" But we danced at my mother's wedding",

"Yeah, because at that time I was...", I remember I never told this to Luna, on the day of her mother's wedding I was blown away after looking at her in a red dress, I still remember she looked like a goddess, and it was the same day I realized I love her and after that realization, I forgot about everything. I also forgot about my anxiety about dancing in front of people.

" Because what?",

"Nothing, I am sorry Lu I can't escort you",

" Okay", she says disappointed. And then adds, "I will go with Ray then",

" What?" I ask in literal shock.

"I will go with Ray, he told me if you don't escort me to the debutant ball, he will escort me", What? No. I don't want my girlfriend to go to a ball with her ex-boyfriend. I can't let this happen.

"Fine!" I say aloud.

" What?",

"I will escort you to the debutant ball",

"Really?" Her face brightens.

"Yes",

" Ray was right when he said you will do anything for me",

"What, Ray said that?",

" Yes! Oh, Cole, thank you so much for agreeing to escort me, I love you", She hugs me. Well, Ray is right, I can do anything for Luna.
