Yume's pov
Tonight will be the Seniors' ball, and I'm a little bit nervous but not so excited.
"Onii-chan, I'm going to my friends' place.", Me.
"Just be careful, sweety. Just take some photos for me.", Him sipping his fave lavender tea.
"Okay, I'm going, then. See you later. Bye!", Me.
"Bye!", Onii-chan.
We went to yana's mansion, they're all excited. Yana made the make up session while the boys making their slacks and tuxedo. While i'm waiting for my turn, aimie helped Mika on his necktie.
"Uhm, could you help me?", Arth
What the? He wants me to help just for his necktie?
"Can't you even know how to wear a necktie?!", I asked sarcastically.
"Ask malory or aimie, wait after Mika had finished their lovey dovey.", I said.
"They're so busy, I don't want to interrupt them, please?", him with his charm, I feel like blood's rising to my face.
"Alright, I'll do it!", I stood up and helped him, this is so embarrassing.
I tiptoed a bit for he's too tall to reach. In split seconds, he touched my hands and slide it on his chest. Then he took my chin upwards with his thumb and index finger on his other hand.
Until Malory called us, but before she saw us, we pretend doing arth's necktie.
"Phew, that was close!", I mumbled then I saw him laughing.
"Shut the hell up, moron!", I mumbled again.
"Coming.", It's my turn so I wore my dress and Yana did the make up thing.
._-*-_.
We're all done, then the boys got flustered even arth did. His face was so red.
And so we went to the venue. Tables with flowers on top, the stage was so fabulous. Catering at the far right of the hall. Lots of some gatherings minding with their dresses and coats.
They look so gorgeous, as the surroundings. There's the school band playing cozy music and twas good, though.
Wine bottles and wine glasses too found on a counter and there's bartenders. This is so great.
King and arth found a right place for us all. Mika pulled a chair for aimie and let her sit. King, third and Malory sat next but before I take my seat, "allow me.", Arth pulled my chair for me, and kinda embarrassing.
"Uhm, thank you...", Oh my gosh, my heart's racing while our eyes met.
"You're welcome.", and he sat beside me.
Everybody's looking at us.
"What?", I asked.
"What's that face?", They are intriguing me. I feel like it's hot in here.
Malory and aimie keep teasing me.
King walked out a bit and the music are so amazing I feel like I'm dancing under the spotlight. Am I dreaming?
"Hey, guys!", King with glasses and champagne and Malory helped.
There's already dancing on the dancefloor then Mika offered aimie for a dance.
I looked at them and they are so sweet. Then a guy came and offered me a dance, "shall I dance with you?", He said.
"Uhm, sure!", I took his hand and we went to the dance floor and arth saw emotionless. What is he thinking?
Few minutes later, the guy returned me back to my friends. I looked at arth but he looked away.
Mika and aimie have returned. Malory danced with third then King's turn.
Then arth stood and walked away and my friends even didn't look at me. I feel my heart's aching, I want to run away. Then the vocalist suddenly changed the music but it's more on love songs. (N/a: sorry, I don't know about love songs too much)
We are all surprised that arth came back with a bouquet of sunflowers.
"Hey, what's this for?", I asked offering the flowers then I took it.
"Wasn't that your favorite flowers? it's all for you.", He knew it but how?
He offered me, "shall we dance?".
I looked at everyone around and they nodded. "Just go!, Good luck, yume-chan!", Aimie gestured thumbs up.
I looked at him again, "oh, okay?", I took his hands, and maybe this is the right time. I leave the flowers on top of the table.
We went to the dancefloor, I feel so nervous. "Just relax.", He said smiling. So close!
I put my hands on his shoulders then he put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. 'we're too close'. I thought.
"Well...", He broke the silence.
"You looks so gorgeous.", He said.
"Oh, uhm, thank you. You too, you look more handsome than on your school uniform. You're too formal unlike king." I chuckled.
"That I was for you?", He asked.
"Uhm, yeah.", I giggled.
"Yume, may I ask you something but don't be angr-", I stopped him.
"I know, I know, I'm just jealous. I easily get mad when you're with other girls flirting.", I said pouting.
"They ain't flirting. They're just talking to me.", He explained.
"Oh, you're jealous...", He grinned.
"Then, I'm sorry if I made you mad. But hey, are you confessing now", he chuckled.
"What? No way.", I mumbled and He chuckled once again.
"How 'bout that guy awhile ago? How do you feel?", I frankly asked.
"Oh, I'm a little bit jealous but I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about, unless if he will do something bad on you. It doesn't matter.", He answered.
"Hey, You're really small and I noticed you've lessen cursing recently.", He said.
"Is that so?", I asked. What? Did I changed?
"Well, one last question.", Him.
"O-kay~ ask me?", I asked looking at his eyes.
He took a deep breath, "Yume, can you be my girlfriend?".
My eyes widened. I'm surprised but then confused.
"Well, it's not I'm forcing you to answer right away, If you aren't ready yet, just tell me. I'll be waiting.", He said in a serious tone.
"Uhm, well then, I dunno but maybe we'll try.", I said.
"thank you, yume.", I saw his eyes filled with joy.
"And one more thing, how about awhile ago, t-that thing? Oh, nevermind.", I was confused about his answer.
"Oh, about that? Well, if you insist.", He answered.
Oh-kay?...
"Wanna try?", He said giggly.
"Nope!", I'm turning to a tomato.
._-*-_.
"Let's go back to our seats.", I said.
"Oh, did we danced for a long time?, He asked.
"Maybe?," I answered with a question.
"Where's Malory?", I asked aimie.
"She went to the bathroom, maybe she's on way back here.", Aimie.
"It's been 10minutes since she headed to the bathroom.", Third.
"I'll better check on her-", I said but arth stopped me, "you'll stay here, just wait for me, I'll be back.".
I nodded.
