Music was barely audible in the room as a tall lean child twirled in the sunlight. Her smile glistening as she focused her body to twist in unimaginable ways to the beat of the music. Her arms locked and popped every time the beat would drop.

Sweat slowly trickled down her neck as she continued to dance no matter how much her muscles pleaded for a small break. Just as the song was reaching its conclusion she imagined herself on a stage, dancing in front of thousands of people who cheered for her. Her smile widened as she posed hearing imaginable chants.

A sudden quick few knocks on the door snapped her back to reality. Quickly she rushed toward the bulky radio and switched off the music. Her best friend BamBam walked in, "Lisa your parents are searching for you. I'll hide the stuff." He told her.

Lisa breathed heavily as she wiped her sweat with a towel, "Thanks I'll treat you to some ice cream later." She said before rushing out of the room.

"You better!" Bam playfully shouted.

Lisa quickly ran down the halls hastily greeting some of the housekeepers as she rushed past them. She wondered what her parents so suddenly wanted to speak with her about. They were always busy with the family business that regular family conversations rarely ever happen.

She continued to run to the living room dodging any worker as they carried flowers and plates. This made Lisa furrow her brows. At last, she made it to where her parents were. To her surprise, she saw her good friend Ten sitting next to his parents who happily chatted with hers.

Ten's mother spotted Lisa standing at the doorway which made her smile brightly. "Lisa it's good to see you again."

Lisa returned a cheerful smile, "Hi Auntie."

"Lali come, your father and I have news." Her mother happily said motioning for Lisa to sit beside her. Lisa complied confused at her mother's expression but paid no second thought to it.

Her mother took Lisa's hands in hers and gripped them, "We all proposed that you and Ten get married and join our family companies." She excitedly told Lisa who's smile withered.

"What?" Lisa replied.

"Of course when you both turn of age we would host the wedding. But it's never too late for you both to start dating." Her father added.

Lisa looked at Ten with disbelief and he returned the look. "I can't marry Ten!" She shouted as she stood up.

"Lalisa lower your voice." Her father scolded glaring at her.
