That next week went by with Kara never showing up at school, not even Sasha, or Justin and Shakira. Derrick was worried now, was it too good to be true? Did she realize she made a mistake?
He couldn't take her for granted, deep in him he feared if she would one day be too close, and he got as angry as he can get, would he hurt her? Would his rage blind him and end up accidentally injuring her? He couldn't stand thinking about it.
On the Friday evening he was out the school gate but saw Kara standing one side at a very grand car, she gestured to him and he came over.
"Sorry I was busy this week" She said smiling.
"It's okay, I'm glad to see you smile again"
She broadened her smile "You're so sweet, I was wondering, do you want to join me tomorrow night? My mother's company is having a type of ball, and I need a partner?"
Derrick felt his guts knot, he never attended something like that.
"Uh, sure"
