"You look stunning." Max tells me as soon as I enter the hall within our school. I simply smile at him for I am too numb to say anything.

"I gotta thank Nash, he brought you here," Max beamed at me. "Speaking of which, where is he? Oh well, he must be around. Probably with Lucy." He brushes off.

Max drinks in my appearance, his eyes trailing from my head to toes. "Wow, I'm a damn lucky guy. Come here." He pulled me by the waist and pressed his lips to my forehead. ''Don't want to smudge up that lipstick now, do we?" He smirks at me.

"Besides...If I kiss you now, I won't be getting any much of dancing tonight." He licks his upper lip seductively and takes my hand in his. He escorts me forward where people look at us.

Girls eyed Max like he was candy to them. When Mr. Anderson was in black slacks, it was actually really hard to turn down the fact of how damn attractive he looked.

Clean shaven, hair styled back neatly and a black tie instead of a bow tie. Max was the only guy who was warring a tie unlike the rest who had opted for bow ties.

"You're really quiet, is everything okay?" From charming he goes into concerned mode and I sigh.

I promised myself that his night would be an unforgettable night; both for Max and I but thinking that Nash would be leaving the country in the next few hours, I didn't know what to do anymore.

It was like all my plans were flushed down the toilet in that instant.

"I'm leaving Sophia."

His words echoed in my mind. I don't want him to go, I actually loved him but he was right, I was actually embarrassed of saying that in front of people.

That's when he told me that he wasn't enough for me...

I wanted to kill myself for giving him that impression but no matter how hard I denied it, he was correct.

I was embarrassed to admit it openly...afraid of what people would say...

Fuck.

"Okay, that's it. What's bothering you?" Max looks at me in the eyes and that's when I lose it, lose all the emotions I had bottled up inside me. Throwing myself on him, I loop my arms around his neck as he encircled me in between his arms.

"Shhhh....what happened? Why are you so sad?" He spoke slowly taking me into the hall's corner.

I had let go of Nash, I had already done that. Now, I didn't want to lose this man in front of me.

I just couldn't let that happen.

"Boo? What's wrong?" He asked, examining my panicked face.

"Nothing." I sniffed and smiled at him. I'm a good faker, everyone knows that.

"We can go if you want.." He continues to look for some clues from me but I refuse to let him in. This night has to be an unforgettable one.

"Kiss Me." I said bluntly, dragging him in the centre of the hall. A hall that decorated with red and white balloons and red ribbons. Its pale red walls were decorated with whit laces and glitter.
