"So the first on the list this year is a couple dance...so guys bring your girlfriend's to the centre and party!"
"Yes!" The crowd cheers.

"Hey Amanda!" Charles said as he sat down beside her.
"Charles." She replied smiling sweetly.
"You're looking beautiful...I see you wore the dress I gave you." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck, as he smiled.
"Yeah! The dress is lovely...thanks by the way." She replied.
"No need to." He said.
"Urm..." The two of them spoke at the same time.
"You first." Charles stated.
"No! You first." Amanda added.
"Fine." He said as he let out a deep breath, as he stared into her eyes and held both her hands.
"I don't know how this will sound but I know I gotta say this... I love you Amanda." Charles said as he held his breath.
"I know you might not feel the-"
Amanda cut him short as she clasped her lips on his as Charles widened his eyes not expecting her to do that.
"I...I love you too Charles." She said once she broke their contact.

"What's wrong with Eliza?" Daniel asked Ella once he sighted his sister sitting at the bar stand all alone.
"I don't know, I think we should go and ask." Ella replied as they walked over to where Eliza sat.
"Eliza are you okay?" Ella asked, when she noticed her crying.
"Yes I'm fine." She replied as she rushed to wipe her tears.
"You don't look okay." Daniel butted in as he held his sister's shoulder making her look at him.
"I'm fine Daniel...i just feel a little lonely that's all." Eliza explained.
"You don't have to be sad don't worry, Ella is here to accompany you so just cheer up." He smiled, pinching one of her cheeks.
"Girls excuse me, I'll be back." Daniel said and left not before ruffling his sister's hair.

"I just can't believe that Charles and..." Amanda blushed non-stop in the bathroom as she splashed cold water on her face.
"Amanda are you done?" Charles voice sounded from outside as Amanda blushed the more.
"Yeah, I'm coming out now." She said as she opened the door handle.
"What took you so long?" Charles complained.
"I'm sorry." Amanda apologized.
"You don't have to... besides I can wait forever for you." He said with a wink as Amanda's face reddened.
"Stop teasing me." She protested.
"Fine I've heard you." He chuckled.
"Can we go? I have a surprise for you." He stated.
"Sure but let me get my belongings I left it in the hall, I'll be right back." She said.
"Don't keep me waiting."
"I won't."
