I was currently wearing a blue strapless cocktail dress with a heart shaped neckline embedded with glittering stones. My hair was straightened perfectly as my mother applied another dose of powder on my face.

You may be wondering what's the occasion, well the school announced that we would have a Christmas ball or winter formal. Every student in the school will either go or not, some would even hate the thought of it since it means more money to spend and they have to wear dresses.

Two months have passed and Christmas is already approaching. I can literally hear our neighbors blasting Christmas songs and kids doing carolling and I'm sick of hearing it.

"Is your sister pretty Joshua?" My mother turned to asked my brother whose eyes trailed on the makeup kit.

"Nope, I'm much prettier than her"

This bish, if he weren't my baby brother I would have smack the hell out of him.

"How about you Jerimie?" My goodness mom, you'd ask Jerimie? I'm sure she'll say something negative about me.

"She looks good" she said before turning back on her phone.

"See! I told you!" My mother said gleefully before continuing and adding some finishing touches and voila.

Time went like a blast and before I knew it, I was already in front of my classmates doing awful dances and laughing with my mouth opened. We strutted into the court like a proud peacock, Bool was dressed flamboyantly while Evan was dressed in a simple tuxedo. Hanie and Tintin as well as the rest of the girls were on a dress and heels.

It feels like I've been transported into a garden with varieties of vegetables and fruits, some of the students went all out and even wore a ball gown. Some were literally glittering under the night, the rest weren't dress to impress, they just want to sleep but was unable due to the promised plus points by the teachers.

"Willmark looks really handsome" I hear one girl said while I was walking.

"Yep, I heard some girls were about to confess to him this night"

I didn't fell fine, I fell a bit awful and was about to swivel on the other direction but before I could do that, I tripped into a bumpy ground and fell.

The next thing I knew, I was looking up with a pair of familiar eyes with a teasing grin.

"Eh, seems like someone badly wants to be my partner tonight. Wanna dance milady?"

I blinked profusely before nodding my head, I blanked out and before I knew it, we were already in the middle of the court. His hands were lightly places on my waist while I held both of his arms.

The song Minamahal was playing in the background, the whole crowd was submerged into a romantic ambience as couples gathered together gaining an intimate look.
