Retelling of the story pride and prejudice.
" It is a truth universally acknowledged , that a girl in possession of too many pride and prejudice books , must end up in the book being a character she hates. "
I love pride and prejudice, and read lo...
Today is the day , it's Tuesday. It's finally day of the ball dance and I am soo excited for today. I have practiced my moves and I think the talent of dancing I inherited it from real Caroline, didn't have to put much effort to learn it.
The hall is nicely decorated, warm food and soups are ready for the guests. I helped my sister with her dress and helped my brother to pick the best suit for the night.
Now I have to get ready myself, my dress is ready and I think it will look good on me. I wore my dress without any help and did a very light makeup and I think that will do. I took my little hand fan....very classic.

As I walked down I saw my brother and Darcy talking together, probably sharing something funny , cause they're laughing. Suddenly Darcy's eyes fall on me and he stopped laughing.
Am I looking that bad ? Should have worn something else. My brother looked up and saw me , he praised me with lots of sweet words. Of course I have to ask him.
" Mr Darcy ...what do you think? Am I looking good ? " I asked him. " Good but not enough to get many dancers , guess you will have to stay with the family only. " he said , of course who will good him other than those beautiful eyes. But wait why am I getting jealous?
" We will see " I told him . The hall is in walking distance, so we walked there before time , we have to welcome people right. Slowly people started to gather. Woman, girls coming in fashionable dresses. Some even eye Darcy , but poor girls will never get him.
I smiled and welcomed them but my eyes are waiting for that particular family. Seriously when will they arrive? I can't wait to see Elizabeth in that beautiful dress and Darcy's reaction after watching her walk in.
Their is light piano music in the background and mood of the party is very energetic. Suddenly my eyes fell on the door, Mrs Bennet walking in with her daughter with a proud smile in her face. All the sisters are looking amazing.
Jane and Elizabeth are standing out in the crowd. My brother went to welcome Jane and her family. I took Mr Darcy to welcome Elizabeth. She became very happy and took my arm in her arms. " Why ...you look stunning tonight. " Said Elizabeth looking towards me. She thought I was beautiful.
" Thank you" I told her giving Mr Darcy a sharp look. He just laughed and didn't said anything. " Elizabeth your looking Lovely dear. " I told her and she blushed. Mr Collins was trying to communicate with Darcy but. Mr Darcy was getting annoyed.
Soon it was time for the first dance and I have to do something to prevent Elizabeth from dancing anyone else than Darcy. My brother asked for janes hand and well they does look cute.
Mr Collins was going to ask for Elizabeth's but I stopped and said " Why my dear dance with Darcy...he is a good dancer. " I told her. Her face showed a great deal of annoyance. But I know things will get better.
So Darcy had to ask for her hand and they both went for a dance. I am lucky enough to watch my favourite characters dance in the ball. I too accepted hand of an officer and danced a bit . The music is nice , wish I knew what type of song it is.
The song ended and new song started. My brother asked Jane second time to dance with him. Before I could talk with anyone else , someone took my hand and said " May I? " I turned around and saw Darcy standing infront of me.
" May I have the pleasure to have a dance with you. " Said Mr Darcy. Well I think one dance wouldn't harm . I nodded and he took my hand. The music started and we started dancing .
" Are we going to keep quite? " asked Mr Darcy. " What are we supposed to say ? " I asked him. " About the decor, food what do you want to do once your business starts working? Anything you like .." asked Mr Darcy.
" Who told you it's important to talk with your dance partner. Those fine eyes ? " I asked him. " Miss Caroline Bingley...are you jealous?" he asked with a smirk. And why is he being so direct?
" Jealous...oh no Mr I am not jealous. " I told him submerging a tiny bit of jealousy. He laughed a little and then said nothing. " Caroline may I know why you're so interested in Bennet family? " asked Mr Darcy.
And how can I explain to him that my brother and bestfriend are going to marry in that family, how can I not give attention to that family. " It's complicated...you will not understand. " I told him. " Try me. " he said but I don't want to have that conversation with him.
" Let's change the subject Mr Darcy" I told him. " Very well , you said you're going to find someone special for yourself...have you seen anyone interesting? " he asked me pointing towards the crowd.
Well infront of him the whole crowd is so dull. " Well , since we are going away very soon...I don't want to waste my time here. " I told and he nodded trying to hide a smile.
" Wise decision Miss Bingley." he said and I have seen when he has to say something serious or sarcastic with me he calls me Miss Bingley . And when he just jokes around he calls me Carol or Caroline.
We talked about the other couples a little when the song came to an end. His hand didn't leave mine. He said to me " one more dance Carol " . I probably should distance myself from him. ' please I don't want to be the real Caroline, I don't want to feel the pain of loss ' .
" I promised Mr Hurts a dance , have to keep my promise. " I told him. He nodded and than let go of my hand. I don't know if Mr Darcy will dance again with Elizabeth or not. But I want her to see him alone and welcoming for her.
My sister and Mr hurts are standing together. As I approached them my sister smiled wide and said " Everyone thinks I look beautiful, my sister surely knows how to pickup clothes. " She said with a wide smile.
" And my sister knows how to look beautiful in them. " I told her and she laughed while blushing a little. I turned towards Mr Hurts and said " May I have the pleasure to dance with you? " . He looked at me and said " why not dear. " I looked towards my sister and she waved her fan like , go ahead we are too married to worry or think rubish about ourselves.
" While they're dancing Mrs Hurts let's have a dance together. " Said Mr Darcy to my elder sister. " Certainly" said my sister.
The music begun and we all walked in the open space to dance. Mr Darcy is so much chill and enjoying the party , why it was written that he was rude and cold in the book ? As I looked towards Mr Hurts, his eyes were on me. He was curious. Finally he asked me " Miss Bingley are you in love ? "
