Your Pov:

"Alright, (M/N)" You say, as you sit down on your bed. (M/N) goes to your closet and grabs a beautiful (f/c) dress with a (sf/c) trim. "That's perfect," you say and (M/N) helps you put it on. "You look gorgeous (Y/N)" she said to you but, do you believe her? Of course not.

"I guess" you reply back while looking down at the ground. About an hour and a half later, you, your father, and (M/N) were at the Phantomhive Manor. It was even bigger than your manor if, that were even possible. It was also incredibly beautiful! 'Wow, this place is amazing.'

You exited the carriage with the help of (M/N) and walked to the door, next to your father. 'I just hope he doesn't do anything at the ball, tonight ' you thought to yourself. He usually doesn't do anything in public but, you never know when it comes to him. As your father knocks on the door, a man in all black appears at the door. He looks as though he is the butler of the manor and you were right.

"Ah, you must be the (L/N) family, I am Sebastian, the butler of this manor," says the man in black. My father just nods and walks right passed him, shocking the poor butler. ' Must be looking for a drink ' you thought to yourself. "Yes, we are the (L/N) family, may we come in" (M/N) asked shaking both Sebastian and I out of our dazes. "Oh, yes, of course," Sebastian answers and then moves out of the way so, we can both enter. As we do, I immediately spot my father heading straight for the alcohol. Shaking my head, I start to walk to one side of the room.

Just because I was at a ball, doesn't mean I wanted to dance. I sat there, content, for about 20 minutes until a boy about my age of 15 with navy blue hair started to head toward me. "Excuse me miss, would you like to dance," he asked, with almost a scowl on his face. "Um.... No thanks" I replied. I didn't need everyone here to know I was a klutz or my dad would surely kill me. He looked shocked at my answer but, of course, my dad heard me and was already headed my way.

Once he got there, he said "Of course my daughter would love to dance with you, Earl Phantomhive" my dad replied, already shooting daggers at me. It was my turn to be shocked. "Earl Phantomhive....." I stated in a quiet whisper but, apparently, he heard me as he replied with, "Yes and you must be (Y/N) (L/N) then." "Y-y-y-y-yes" I manage to stutter out. "And you would love to dance with the Earl Phantomhive, won't you" my dad said, and I can tell he is getting madder by the second. "And you must be her father, (F/N) (L/N), am I right," the Earl Phantomhive asks my dad. He then suddenly snaps out of his daze and replies with, "Yes, of course, my lord."

"I-I-I-I-I guess one dance wouldn't hurt" I reply before my dad could do or say anything else. "Alright," the Earl replies as he bows and holds out his hand for me to take. As I hesitantly put my hand in his, I feel a spark but, I guess it was just in the heat of the moment. My hand starts to shake as he stands up straight and drags me to the dance floor. 'Stop shaking ' I yell at myself. The Earl looks at me with almost a concerned look. "Are you alright?" he asks me.

I couldn't even reply. I was too shook up even to talk. Everyone was staring at me, and I couldn't take this kind of embarrassment. There was only one word on my mind, and that was 'run .' I had to run, and that's exactly what I did. I knew my dad would probably kill me later but, at that moment, I didn't care. All I want to do was run, and I did.
