25. The Ball

We went downstairs and we saw some more girls...only girls. "Lucy, where are the boys?" I said while we walked threw the crowd. "You mean, where is Thomas?" She said while walking. "Okay fine, where's Thomas?" I asked almost bumping against some girls, who appeared out of nowhere. "You'll see him soon, just 5 more minutes Kath." She said and stopped walking when we were at an empty spot in the room. "I don't wanna wait anymore." I said and I became very nervous. "Hey, it's okay Kath. The tradition says that packs from around the country reunite, the girls and boys have to be seperated and prepare themselves, after some time they're seeing eachother again and then you search your escort and dance with him or her. After the dance the "couple" must choose eachother and then they have to spend the night together." She said and sat down on a chair. After 5 minutes of nervously waiting the doors opened and all the girls walked out the house. We walked outside and saw the boys standing in a line. I got seperated from Lucy while I searched for Thomas. I didn't find him immediantly, but when I did I almost couldn't believe my eyes....he was so handsome!! I loved him in a suit! He looked so gorgeous with his big brown eyes. I swear I could drown in them... When he noticed me he smiled and when we came closer to eachother he smiled brighter. "Wow you look gorgeful!" He said. "I what?!" I said almost panicing. What did he think?! What did he..."Oh my god I'm sorry...I wanted to say gorgeous and beautiful.." He said blushing like a tomato and looked down. I laid a hand on his cheek. "Are you ready to go?" I asked and looked at him smiling in the mean time. "Yes of course my lady, shall we?" He bowed and looked at me smiling. I smiled back and took his arm. We walked outside and when we reached the dance floor I said: "You look gorgiful too btw." And I winked at him. He started smiling even bigger, he softly grabbed my waist and took my other hand, I laid my hand on his shoulder and so the dance started. I did the exact same steps as I had practised and it went very good.  I looked at Thomas and when I did I couldn't take my eyes off him anymore..he looked amazing!! <3
We danced and danced and I never wanted it to stop. I knew these were the final steps and the song was almost ending...I kinda freaked out, so much that I tripped! But yet before I touched the ground Thomas cached me and looked at me..our heads and so our lips were really close now. Thomas leaned in and I closed my eyes..our lips almost touching.....when the music stopped. Thomas stopped leaning in and he put me straight on my feet again. He looked different now. He looked...mad. "Thomas are you okay?" I asked, but without any sound Thomas walked away into the forest. I looked around and nobody seemed to notice...so I went after him into the forest. Trying to help him with whatever he was going threw and maybe still getting that kiss.
