Corial's P.O.V.
I just stood there when I heard Jung Pyo say, "Hey, commoner." I looked him, "Hey..." "Honestly, you're really happy to meet me here, aren't you? Say it, you were bored like hell in this stinky hole before I came, right?" How dare he make fun of my kingdom and my people! But, I didn't want him to suspect anything, so I responded with, "Before you came I was very happy, thank you for asking. Now you see, I must go and help my friend dry off now. Good-" I began to walk away when he jumped in front of me, again. "Well, since you go to our school, you can come." "I don't know what you're talking about, but I have no intentions on going. Now please, get out of my way."
I saw Zafrina walk up to me and said, "Come on, Coralia! Stop being such a stick in the mud! Let's go to the party!" Then she said in a whisper, "There's gonna be a lot of booze there and tasty people too." She wiggled her eyebrows and I exhaled, disaprovingly, "Fine. But just to keep an eye on you." I pointed to her and she just shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever, as long as we're to going to the party that's fine with me."
"Wait! Hey you!" I looked over to see Ginger, Sunny, and Miranda walking towards me and I began to back away from them, "Look, I don't want any trouble." Ginger said, "Come on! The great Gu Jung Pyo even invited you. You have to come." Then Miranda said, "But there's one thing that he forgot to mention." I whispered, "Mention, mention what?" They soon got really close to me and I began to freak out then I gave them really face and they nodded.
*Time skip*
When Adrian drove me up to the car loop, Lucy asked, "Are you really sure about this?" "Of course I am! I have to make a good impression on everybody." I said with full confidence. Lucy cocked her head, "Ok. Good luck!" "Thanks." As I walked into the gallery hall, I saw everybody wearing wearing elegant gowns and tuxedos. My jaw dropped and I looked at myself to see my jellyfish costume.
(
A.N. just F.Y.I., this is what the costume looks like.)
I rushed out of the room to find Gu Jung Pyo walking in. I had to think fast, so I made myself invisible and I quickly hid behind the buffet and decided to stay there for the rest of the night. As I looked at everybody, Jung Pyo, Woo Bin and Yi Jung, Ji Hoo with that girl, and then I saw Zafrina walk in with a stunning dress.
(A.N. This is what the dress looks like.)
I sighed at how gullible I was, then I heard them call my name. I whisper screamed, "You!" Ginger said, "You're late. Because we didn't know you were here we were looking for you forever!" Miranda said, "Why don't you take off your coat?" Sunny said, "Aren't you a bit hot?" "I'm not hot, because of the ocean winds I'm really cold." I began to walk away when they pulled on my coat, revealing my costume. everybody began to look at me, then Sonny said, "What is this? Isn't that a jellyfish?" Ginger said, "If you didn't have a dress, you should have just said so. I know you want to stick out, but this isn't the way to do it, you commoner." "So this is how commoners have fun these days?" Everybody began laugh and I was at the break of tears, then Ji Hoo and that girl, Seo Hyun, came to my rescue. While Ji Hoo put his jacket on me, Seo Hyun wiped me off with a napkin. She then stood up and said, "I know why you kids are like this. But, do you know what? You've proven that, not this girl but all of you are the ones that are as low as the ground. What are you doing Ji Hoo? Take her to my room."
He gently hoisted me up and began to lead me to Seo Hyun's room and the only thought that went through my head was, where was Zafrina during all this?
Zafrina's P.O.V.
The moment I walked in I went straight to Woo Bin and Yi Jung. "Hey guys, where's Coralia?" Woo Bin answered, "I have no idea. I thought she would be with you?" "No, told her that I needed to go buy a dress for the party." "Yes... And you look stunning!" I knew that voice all too well, I turned around to meet one of my worst nightmares. "Dylan..." I breathed out as he took my hand and kissed it, "Hello Zafrina, long time no see." The sound of his voice sent shivers down my spine and he continued, "Come dance with me..." then he pulled me real close and whispered in my ear, "...or die."
I tried to sustain my shaking to a minimum as I nodded my head as He walked me to the dance floor. "So, how long has it been Zafrina? 2... 3 centuries ago?" As his hand rested on my waist, he began to scratch me with some wooden splinters in his nails and if that wasn't enough, the whole outside of the coat was seeped vervain and throughout the entire dance he kept whispering all of the things he has in store of how to make my life a living hell, so you can only imagine what pain I'm going through right now.
When I finally saw Coralia, in a jellyfish costume, we all stopped dancing, which I'm grateful for because it gave me a break from Dylan's torcher and I bluntly said, "What idiot wears a costume at an elegant party?" I only said that so Coralia wouldn't become a target for him. After their little spaz, we all went back to dancing, then he finally whispered, in a more evil tone than before, "And if you think all that is bad... Then I don't think you can survive 'hin'..." My eyes grew wider and when he left I was shaking so badly, I wasn't able to stand and Woo Bin came at the perfect time to catch me and I immediately tried to find a safe place in his arms as i silently began to cry.
Coralia's P.O.V.
As Seo Hyun applied make-up onto face, I said, "Thank you. But you don't have to go to this extent." "It's my pleasure. Please don't feel pressured." "It's not even my place to come here." She smiled, "Jung Pyo invited you, right? If you're Jung Pyo's friend, then you're an important friend to me as well." I shook my head, "He only invited me out politeness." "No, Jung Pyo is not that kind of child. And I've never seen him treat anyone else like that." I slightly smiled, "Gu Jung Pyo can be caring." "Jung Pyo is caring? Don't you see? It's cause you're special girl, Coralia. I heard of all the hardships you went through because of him. You said you wouldn't lose, right?" I was a little embarrassed, "That is..." "It's because he's loney." "Huh?" "He's hiding his loneliness by bullying others, that rascal." "Gu Jung Pyo is lonely? No way!" "He may only see his parents for once a month every year. From the moment she was born he was never treated as a friend or a son. He was always surrounded by people that only saw him as the heir for a wealthy company. Can you imagine living like that?" I wanted to say yes, but to not blow my cover, I simply just shook my head. Then she said, "Please don't lose." "Huh?" "I like you, so I'll support you!" All I could do was smile as I received the motherly attention. When she was finally done, she said, "Okay, we're done. Stand up." I did and began to play with my shoeless feet and she laughed. I saw her walk to a pair of shoes and placed them and began to help me put them on. I gasped, "They're so pretty." She said sweetly, "Shoes are the most important thing for a woman." I asked her, "Why is that?" Then she said something that I will never forget, "Good shoes will take you to good places." She stood up and said, "Okay it's all done!" She brought me to a mirror and I gazed at the piece of artwork that was standing right in front of me.
(A.N. Here is the finished product)
"Shall we go now?" She put her hand out for me to take and we went back to the party.
Gu Jung Pyo's P.O.V.
When the doors opened, I saw Seo Hyun with the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. But when I saw that it was Coralia, I dropped my plate. I was enamored by her beauty.
Seo Hyun's P.O.V.
When I was walking towards Ji Hoo, I realized that Zafrina was sitting all by herself, so when I got to him, I told him, " A gentleman would never leave a pretty woman like that alone." And I pushed him towards Zafrina.
Coralia's P.O.V.
As Gu Jung Pyo approached me, somehow I felt my heart race and I thought, we're not so different after all.
