The Glass Princess

~ Chapter 3 ~

"Hey Amelia. You know we have this program that we do in our school and every student must have a partner." Altair asked Amelia shyly. 

"I don't have anyone else in mind except you. So would you like to be my partner for prom?"

 "Oh! Prom? What do we do in prom?" Amelia replied cheerfully. 

"It's like a party where people dance with their partners." 

" Oh... I love dancing!" Amelia replied cheerfully.

"So.... Would you like to be my partner?" Altair asked.

"Sure! I would love to come.. Will I dance with you?" Amelia asked curiously.

"Of course. Silly. If you're my date, I will dance with you. And I will keep an eye on you whole night long  so no one can steal you away from me." Altair whispered the last line to her ear .

 That sent shivers to Amelia. And the thought of him dancing with her is really a dream come true.

 "Hey" Altair called her. 

"Yeah?" Amelia asked curiously. 

"Ummm.. Would you like to dance with me right now? There's no one else here by the way. I just want to practice." Altair said awkwardly. 

Amelia blushed and her heart pumped faster than usual again then answered shyly. 

" Ummm. Yes. I would love to and practice makes things perfect right?" 

"Right" Altair said. 

So Altair took her hand and held her waist. And they started swaying and dancing in a slow dance. Strangely, Amelia didn't turned out to be a good dancer. She kept stepping on Altair's foot the whole night. She laughed every time she stepped on it. And Altair can't keep her eyes off of her smile. And her smile was enough to him that he can't even feel the pain throbbing in his foot. She's so silly and naive but yet mysterious. There was something about her that made Altair always looked forward to see her everyday.

 Was it her cheerful smile?

 Or her sparkling eyes? 

Or was it something else?

Altair couldn't really tell what it was. But he knew that he always want to be with Amelia. It had been a routine that every time he will wake up, he would prepare  hot chocolate for Amelia since coffee wasn't really good for her. Then he will add some freshly made cheesy omelette.

When Amelia woke up, she found a breakfast meal on her bedside table and it had a note saying 

" Good morning princess! I made this specially for you. 

–A". 

She can't help but smile. And she had wished that her stay in the mortal world would be longer and that she doesn't want to go back to her old life anymore.

 After eating she decided to go downstairs and find Altair but half way through she took a step back. She saw Altair kissing a girl. They seemed happy and they are smiling and laughing. 

"Hey Altair. Can I be your date at prom?" The girl asked Altair.

"Sure thing love. I haven't asked anyone yet." Altair said carelessly.

 Amelia was shocked to hear that. She thought she was his date for that prom and that he had no one else in mind but her. She thought of her clumsiness while they were dancing. She thought that maybe Altair  was looking for another girl because of her clumsiness in dancing. 

Amelia felt something in her heart. Like it was slowly breaking. She haven't felt this feeling before.
