(Yasha Marie Estrella)
I turned around again and faced mom, when she already put the necklace on me.
"Oh looked, it suits you"
"Mommy, let's go home, maybe my date is waiting for me there" Marguax, she's so excited.
"Don't worry, your date, will fetch you here" aunt Dianne
"Huh?" Marguax
"The date of the four of you will gonna fetch you here" aunt Amanda
"And why?" Amythys
"Well, your dates called us yesterday, and because me and your moms already talked, we decided to told your dates that they need to fetch you here" mom
"Nice, we'll gonna see if who is the date of Amythys" Hannah
"By the way, get ready Amythys" Marguax and she smirk. Well, Amythys better get ready because Marguax is not the only one who'll gonna tease her.
There, we just stayed at the salon and do what we want to do, until.
"Where the hell is them?" Marguax, said and put her phone down. "There's only ten minutes before ball start" she's really excited. After she said those, we hear a car horn from outside of the salon.
We looked at the entrance of the salon, and there they are, Eugine entered the salon and he followed by Clarence.
"Good afternoon" the two of them greet, then Eugine walked towards my direction while Clarence approaches Hannah.
"Hi gorgeous" Eugine said to me.
"I thought, you will not coming" I told him
"It's not acceptable"
"I'm jealous, their date are already here while ours, is not even messaging us if they were coming" Marguax
"They are just at our back while we are still at th---" Clarence didn't finished his sentence, because we heard a car engine goes off, from the outside of the salon.
All of us were waiting if who's gonna walked in here at the salon. A guy walked in and it was Manuel, Marguax's date. He approaches Marguax. And the second guy enter, this is the moment that were waiting for.
Except for our mothers, partners and Amythys, the three of us got shock when we recognize if who really is the date of Amythys. It was Loiue, the most famous playboy at the school and almost all the girls wants him, especially when Louie smiled or winked at them, what do playboys really do.
"Good afternoon" he greeted, the smile of our mothers are so wide.
Louie approaches Amythys, and he put his hand around Amythys' waist, I was about to tell him to let go of Amythys, but Eugine stopped me and said.
"Don't" and just with that, I calm down and got back where I was earlier.
"And now that all of your dates are already here, you better all go, while the ball is not starting yet" aunt Dianne, and push the eight of us until we got out of the salon.
"Take care. Boys, make sure to accompany them after the ball, okay?"
"Okay aunt" Manuel
"Yes aunt" Clarence
"Roger that" Louie
"Okay aunt" Eugine, that's what they answered our mothers and we hopped in the car of our date driven.
"Wait, your parents let you drive this?" I asked him
The truth is, this car was a gift from his dad, but they didn't let him use this because his mom thinks that he got into an accident.
"Yes, maybe mom and dad realized that I am driving so carefully and especially when I'm with you"
"Maybe" me, and I took out my phone, I need to confront Amythys, while Eugine started the engine of his car.
I open our group chat, that was just consists of me, Amythys, Marguax and Hannah.
'Hey Amythys, you need to confess to us' after I send it I receive a message from Marguax and Hannah.
'AMYTHYS, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?' that was Marguax
'Wait until we reach the venue' Hannah, oh, that was scary.
'I will explain later. I promise' Amythys
'Well, you should be' Marguax
'Make sure that, that was an acceptable reason' Hannah
'Just explain clearly, and you need to be honest' me
'Yeah, yeah, yeah' Amythys answered us.
I logged out from our group chat, and I put back my phone inside my pouch, I looked up to Eugine when he held my hand.
I just looked at him, but his eyes was fixed on the road, I was startled when he kissed my hand, then he looked at me and say.
"I love you" he said
Then he focused at the road again.
I like to answer him 'I love you too' but I don't know why I can't say those four shorts words. I just smile at him. But he didn't react. I also turn my attention at the road until we reach the venue.
Eugine got out of the car, then he opened the door for me. I look I looked at the entrance of the venue, it is good thing the were not late.
"Let's go?" Eugine, then he put my right hand on his left arm. I nodded, and we entered at the venue.
I saw Hannah and Clarence entered the venue first, so we followed them, then at our back there were Marguax and Manuel, then next to were Amythys and Louie.
We still following Hannah and Clarence hanggang until they sat down at an unoccupied table, and it is for 8 people. We also sat there.
"Well, good that the organizer did they best to reach my expectation on this event Because if they not, I will go home right away" Marguax, we just laughed because if that.
"I think, you'll be happy tonight"Hannah
"Of course, but it's not right that I am the only one who'll be happy tonight, it should be all of us"
"Of course" we answer.
We just stayed at our table, and just talking and talking with each other, until the president of the school stood at the front to have a speech, that we didn't listen to, after 5 minutes speech of the president he announced that the party is starting.
The party just started and hyper music started to play, and because was happy tonight, she pull us one by one onto the dance floor. It's already 15 minutes na since we started to dance, that's why I went back at our table, because I got tired. I got startled when Eugine appeared at my front.
"Do you want a drink?" he asked me
"Yes, please" I answered, then he walked away, while me remain sitted at our table, when someone sits beside me.
"Are you having fun with him?" said asked. She's the girl who I suspected dropped the pot from the fifth floor.
"What do you want?" I asked her back
"I think you already know that, but in case you didn't. I want Eugine, I want your boyfriend to be mine"
"There's so many guys out there but why it is need to be Eugine?"
"Because he's the one I want" her, and then she stood up, and move closer to me. "Enjoy the night with him, because tomorrow...I want you to stay away from him, or else you know what will happen, okay. See you later. Bye." her, and she wave at me while walking away from me, then Eugine came back.
"Who's that?" he asked while giving the blue lemonade that he was holding.
"Hmm nothing, just a...f-friend" I don't know what should I answer him.
"Ohh" him, and he sat beside me.
Suddenly our friends came back from dancing at the dance floor, except for Louie, and Hannah.
"What the? You're such a kill joy" Marguax
"I am kill joy, it was just so annoying" Amythys, we got confused about her answer.
"Me annoyed you? Did I do something wrong?" Marguax.
"Not you"
"Then who?" me.
"Nevermind, just leave me alone first, I will just stay her"
"Wait, what happening here?" this time I asked them, and the two of them just ignore me, si Amythys looked at the different direction, while Marguax grabbed Manuel. and they left us. I surprised when a hand appeared at my front, I looked up to him, it was Clarence.
"Can I have this dance?" he asked, while his hand is still at my front, and there I just realized that the music playing was for the sweet dance, and the music playing right now is one of my favourite song.
This I promise you by N-Sync.
~Oh, oh
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies~
I looked at Eugine, to asked for permission, he just nodded, so I turn backed to looked at Clarence, and I hold his hand. I looked again at Eugine and he just smiled at me, I smiled back to him, me and Clarence walked straight to the dance floor.
~I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone~
I put both of my hands on his shoulder, but Clarence adjust it into his nape, while his hands are on my waist, but I just ignored that.
~The one you should call
Was standing there all along~
"Yasha, can we be friends?" I looked up to him, when he asked that.
~And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Til' the day my life is through~
"O-of course, why not?"
"Promise?"
"Promise" me, I saw him smiled widely, that's why I smiled also.
~This I promise you, this I promise you~
I got surprised when Eugine appeared at our side.
"It's my turn" Eugine said, Clarence put his hands away from my waist, and he stepped back, that's why my hands got off him.
~I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before~
Clarence walked away, then Eugine put his hands on my waist while mine put on his nape.
~And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun~
We just dance, while looking to each others eyes, why? Why I can't feel the same feeling that I felt when I look into his eyes like few years ago?
"~Just close your eyes (close your eyes) each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
Til' the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you~"
He sang the lyrics of the song, while still looking at me eyes.
~Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take you in my arms (I will take you in my arms)
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Til' the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you~
Until the song finished, we just looking at the eyes of each other, but even I was looking at his eyes for so long I can't feel the same feeling like before everytime I look at his eyes. Did my feelings for him, fade away?
