For your information; when you're announced as Prince and Princess of Spring Dance in Green Lane, you must obey one impossible rule. The rule is you must dance with the Prince and trust me, seventy percent of the Princes and Princesses end up kissing and fall in love. Hah! I'll be the one who changes the rule. I pulled Dana at the side of the stage and I feel like I'll be trembling anytime soon.

"Please, no dance with Arthur, you know I don't dance," I said, exasperated.

"But you just danced with Lucas," she hissed.

"Because I love him," I blurted.

"Okay," she said.

Okay? She patted my back and walked back to the center of the stage.

"As the Princess of Spring Dance's commanded, there will be no free floor for the prince and the princess," she said and people started to echo in disappointment.

"So, they both have to go to the photo booth at the side for some pictures," she said.

Taking pictures? It wouldn't hurt right? Arthur being a gentleman by offering his hand before walking down the stage, I hesitantly took his hand and he led me down the stage. The photographer was already standby at the side of the stage. I was standing beside Arthur when he slowly wrapped one arm around my waist. This bastard. I want to wiggle out from his arm, the floor was slippery and I accidentally grabbed his suit around his waist-and on that time, the camera flashes.

Holy shit.

The dance continued as Nate and I danced like maniac on the dance floor, followed by Dana, Chloe and Carl. Luke was standing at the side of the dance floor-watching us dancing. Chloe gracefully danced beside me and whispered to my ear.

"Tonight, you both will kiss. I'm two hundred percent sure," she said.

"We'll see," I said, shrugged.

It is almost past midnight when the dance was over. I was sitting on the bench in the school park-tired from the dance and my legs sore because of the heels.

"Hey." I jumped off by surprised when I heard someone greeted me. I looked up and saw Luke was standing in front of me.

"You startled me," I said.

"Sorry," he said and took a seat beside me.

"Exhausting day," I said, sighed.

"Not to me because you danced like a maniac on the dance floor," he said, chuckled. I elbowed his rib and he cried out in pain. The silence surrounded us and I feel like some kind of weird feeling comes and drowning us in thoughts.

"Elle," Luke suddenly breaks the silence.

"Hmm," I hummed.

"Why you don't wanna have a dance with Arthur?" he asked.

Fuck.

"I- I-I don't have any idea," I stammered. I looked into Luke's eyes-glowed in the dark and his crystal blue eyes almost turned into a dark blue. He leaned his face forward to me and his eyes gazed my intently. Is he going to kiss me? Kiss me? Luke is going to kiss ME?

Then, I think about our memories together, as a couple of stupid kids-running around and laughing...happy as friends, best friends. His lips were half an inch from mine.

"It's getting late."

Fuck. I opened wide my eyes to look at the owner of the voice and finally I realized it was my voice.

Double fuck.

"Yeah, I'll send you to your car," he said, pulling away his face from mine and stood up from the bench.

Triple fuck.

What I have done? I put on my heels back and stood up. He put his both hands in his slacks and waited for me to walk with him. Fuck, say something please. We reached my car and I stopped my track at the driver's door. I waited for him to say something but there's nothing came out from his mouth-he walked away to his car.

"See you later, Elizabeth."

Last four words make me trembling and shattered. He called me by my full first name. I got into my car and drive away, fighting all the tears that running out from my eyes. I reached home at quarter past midnight. I walked inside the house and bolted directly to my room. I washed my face and turned the shower on, splashed all over my body. Sobs escaped from my mouth and I cried my heart out.

I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid. I changed into my PJs and climbed on my bed. I curled up and cried once again. He almost kisses the fucking out of you, Elle, my inner goddess scowled at me. I tried to close my eyes for sleep but I know it will be a long painful night.
