In Spite of Perfection (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 19

Ivory Hamish POV:

6 pm, now we both is at the ballroom hall along with our seniors. We already brought our dress for the event tonight together. When the time comes we will go to the changing room and transforms into the one dashing student of fashion department. Garcia told us that there will be a small fashion show tonight. We don't have to worry about the model, because she already handled it. While busy making the last preparation, my dad suddenly approach me and say that he need to talk to me privately. I follow him into somewhere more save to talk.

"You're about to get extended and you didn't even tell me? Oh my god..."

"So you've talk to my head department." I sigh "I don't want you to worry dad..."

"That Mr. Mark Fletcher daughter...is she any good?"

"Dad...she's fine...everything that happen wasn't her fault."

"Then why her father reported that sort of thing?"

"It wasn't true...and she's actually a nice person. I-I kindda likes her."

My dad looked at me in shock like he have seen a ghost, he gulp "Okay..." he respond. He didn't say more because he doesn't know what else to say there. I think Professor Camille might have shown the picture proof to him.

I give a small smile "Daddy don't take this in wrong way...but I'm a big girl now and I am allowed to decide what to do with my life. Valarie is someone I never expected to have these feeling for...it just happened dad...I like everything about her and she's a sweet person I had ever met. And I can't stop this feeling."

"Okay..."

"That's all?"

"Yeah...but do tell me, How and when?"

Well, I think it is time for me to explain from A to Z to my him. He need to know since, he's showed me that suspicious expression to me. I don't want him to misunderstood things between me and Valarie. We both take a sit on the bench nearby and I start telling him from the very beginning happened in this university.

Valarie Fletcher POV:

1 hours has passed by and Ivory is nowhere to be found. This made me worry. We made a promise to go to the changing room together. But she suddenly disappear after going with her father.

"Yo Valarie Fletcher..." greet one guy walk straight to where I am.

"Oh hey Kyle!" I smile at him.

"So I'm here to wish you and ivory to break a leg..."

"Thanks..." I keep smiling at him but start to curious about something that Owen said at the grand ball last time. "Umm listen Kyle...I wanted to ask you something."

"You may ask me anything your highness." say him and duck like a real gentleman.

"Last time Owen blurted about the drug dealer to you...so I was wondering if what he said was-"

"Nope...It was actually more like an education." He say and has me to look at him confusing "Truth is, I love cooking. I wanted to be chef..."

"Huh?" Now he doesn't make sense "Then why Owen describe you like you're dealing?"

"Because he's a judgmental douchebag. He caught me one time, talking with my chef master at the Homeground diner backyard. My master surely big, tattoo everywhere and yeah he look like a gangster but nope...he's a nice guy.

Wow...he really are weird and a little cute for a mysterious guy. Look at him, have so much passion in cooking and willing to learn from the underground chef. And that Owen, he was such an insensible person to judge someone without thinking.

"One day, I wanted to bake Ivory something special." say Kyle all of sudden.

He glared at me for some reason got me to feels the goosebum "Wha-what do you mean?"

"So that she'll know...there is still someone else who cares about her and wanted her..." he added more.

Boy he sound serious, the situation around me turns intensely uncomfortable. He smile at me sinisterly and left the ballroom without saying goodbye. Was he trying to warn me that he will never gave up on Ivory? He knows then...he knows that I liked her. And he wanted to take her away from me. God this is not happening, suddenly I have a rival. I can't let this happen. I won't let Ivory fall into his hands. She's mine only. No one can have what is mine. The time is about to come in a few minutes and I need to find her now. Quickly I try to call her, but she didn't pick up, I walk out from the ballroom and suddenly someone grab my hand from behind, at the same time my heart is racing while turning my head to see that person.

"I'm here..." speak of the person I'd been waiting for. Her warm smile calm my head from thinking too much. "Sorry I'm late..." say Ivory.

Quickly I pull and push her away "Where the hell you go dummy?"

She scoffed, step closer to me, gazing at me dearly. She cup my cheek, move her face near and kiss me passionately. By that time, it feels like time freezes, we are alone, flowers blooming all around us. her lips moves in sync  with mine, and it has never bore me. We were high for a moment of bliss. After a few second we finally let our lips apart. She's my ecstasy, I can't hold this feeling, I really wanted to say it out loud "Ivy...I lo-".

My word was cut by Garcia who called us to get ready quick. Damn it Garcia. She had just ruin the perfect moment. And now I had to find another right time to say that word to her.

Ivory Hamish POV:

I've told my dad the whole things, now that he knows I don't have to worry anymore. Thank god he understand me, he listened to me very carefully and never make an abrupt assumption. I am lucky to have a father like him. Unlike Valarie, finally I've realize how opposite our life was. In spite of all of her perfection, her life was actually unfair. She came from the broken family, while my family is great. She have to keep her sexuality in secret to be accepted among her high school friends. And I have nothing to worry because people already hate me, I don't give a shit about them. While she had to care because her life depends on it. She got no one, her mother left town after the divorce. And she's not as brave as I am.

8 pm, Alright, here we go...I am ready. I hope Valarie also ready. She wear a peplumish grey chiffon dress by Dwarmis Concepcion, an underground fashion designer. She match it with her cool black high heel boots. Something about that dress that makes her looks flawless and classy. The first layer almost creates a slight peplum that adds an extra dimension of flirtiness and the leafy element on top. It looks as if the leaves are crawling on your skin alone. It is such a multi-dimensional dress I had ever seen. And me? well I wear white roses lace dress.It draped, with asymmetrical skirt adds with airy drama to a my lace dress. A buttoned keyhole closes the back and Lined. This was a vintage pieces by Minkpink boutiques from Australia. My shoes of course a sexy beige ankle boots named Hollow Out Apricot with open peep toe. Time is 8pm, I'm sure people already filled the ballroom because I could hear the music and the announcement of asking everyone to gathers for the opening of Earth Event. We smile at each other, holding hands, our heart beats faster, we are ready to go out there making this event successful and enjoy my last moment with the one I never thought I fell for. "Wait...this feels like, love." my heart speak while my feet on the ground walking together with Valarie into the stage. I look at her who smile confidently to the crowds.
