A Backfired Serenade

PROLOGUE

Karen entered the room with her heart beating as fast as a running horse. She can’t explain why she was feeling that way.

Her mind is wandering and what ifs questions were being questioned inside her mind.

She is asking herself if she chose the right choice to come along with Michelle, her best friend, in their Junior-Senior Prom because in the first place, she doesn’t even wanted to participate in this event but suddenly when her friend, Dylan, asked her to be his date.

No one in her life has ever a man asked her to be their date in a prom.

She was walking inside the hall, wondering where her friends might be. But because of all the days people were staring at her like they have seen a Goddess before their eyes.

Apparently, Karen isn’t an eye catcher before so she bends down her head and looked down, trying to hide her face from anyone.

But because she was looking down the path where she is walking, she didn’t realize that she bumped into someone.

“I’m so sorry mi-“

Karen’s eyes widened as she heard that familiar voice. She knew whose voice it belongs to but she doesn’t want to believe what her mind was telling her.

“Karen… is that you?”

James, her ex-boyfriend, who dumped her in front of the whole student body and knew the hidden scheme that he is planning, until she heard all everything James says behind her back.

She looked straight into his eye; she can still feel the pain striking her heart to the core. James was the first guy she ever loved, she even sees him in her future as her husband but all of a sudden of her fantasies vanished away into thin air because of one, big, horrible, mistake.

She composed herself and spoke; “Y-yes, it is me” she even gave him a shy smile and looked away again.

“Well… you look beautiful tonight” he said as he stares straight to her eyes.

Karen immediately looked at James with a confusing look and she doesn't know if he is telling the truth or not but she managed herself not to slap his face in front of everybody like how he dumped her. 

“T-thank you and the suit l-looks good on y-you”

She can’t lie. James is really looks good in his black tuxedo suit.

“Look Karen, I know this is stupid but can you be my date?”  He asked her.

She looked at him unbelievably, all of the sudden he was asking her to be his date?

Why a sudden change? Didn’t he forget what he did to her five days ago and now he is asking her like nothing happened?

Karen wanted to shout at him and slap him with all her might. The pain rises again as she realized how pathetic she was when they were together.

James handed over his hand waiting for hers.

At the back of her mind says that she still love this guy in front of her. No matter what happened for the past five days. He is her first love and her first boyfriend. They’ve been together for five months and in just one day everything disappears like a bubble pop in the air.

She was about to speak what is in her mind when a certain voice interrupted it.

“I’m so sorry but she already got her date”

She looked at that person and it was her friend Dylan, looking very elegant and handsome.

James looked shocked on what Dylan said but there is no hint of jealousy or something that made Karen frowned. James put down his hand and looked at Dylan.

“For what I heard, Karen just arrived here alone. And no one in our year asked her to be their date. So, I supposed she is still available.” Then he looked at Karen “Isn’t it right babe?”

Memories were flashbacked and happy moments were remembered. It was the endearment that James and she called each other. She swallowed the lump on her throat, thinking of ways to get out of this heat.

“Why don’t we let chose her Dylan?” there is a hint of challenge in his voice.

Karen couldn’t decide for whom she will take the hand. Is it James or Dylan’s?

This was the most difficult decision she ever made. It is not as easy as choosing between A or B in a Multiple Test questioner. And frankly, it is not an examination.

She remembered what Dylan told her yesterday…

“Choose me to be your date tomorrow Karen and if that happens, it means you will forget all of your feelings for him. It is not always you’ll drown yourself in your tears, choose me and I will make the best of you”

She took a deep breath and she held the hand of…
