Music boomed loudly inside the hall, it was 7:00pm and the party had started. Alexander drove into the school parking lot, removing the car sit-belt and stepped out opening the door for Jasmine. She stepped out with Alex helping her.
"This is so beautiful, Jasmine said looking around with the lights placed outside the school making it illuminate the night".
"Yes, just as beautiful as you are, he said stretching his hands forward for her to hold unto".
She smiled avoiding eye contact, "than…thank you, she said holding him as they walked into the school.
As they walked in, they met Ethan at the hallway.
"Hi Ethan, Jasmine said walking closer to him".
"Hey… you look amazing tonight, he said as he quickly rearranged himself".
Ethan wore a stylish gray suit with a matching blazer and trouser paired with a white shirt underneath and a black tie.
"What are you doing out here?, she asked".
"I am waiting for rose she….."
"I went to use the restroom and he was waiting for me , rose said interrupting him and interlinking her hands in his".
Some people passed by whispering,"I told you, they are back together"…..
"Oh yeah… I was waiting for her, he said as he slowly removed his hand from hers".
"What are you waiting for? Let's go party, Ethan friends came out grabbing him inside".

Soon the party hall was filled with students, some were dancing, taking photos and putting more makeup. The Dj switched to slow music and everyone with their partners started slow dancing.
"Why don't we switch it up!?… The slow Exchange dance, you dance and switch your partner with anyone close to you, the host said".
Jasmine and Alexander stepped onto the dance floor and began dancing, the same for everyone. Jasmine exchanged to Ryan,
"Hi, Ryan said smiling".
"Hi"
"I know Ethan hasn't introduced us yet such a bummer but I am Gutin Ryan and you are?.."
"Jasmine"
"Nice to meet you, Jasmine…., he said smiling".
The Dj gave the sign to switch partners, she switched and this time, it was Ethan.
Ethan pulled her close to him as the world disappeared and looking at her, "You look amazing"
"Thank you, Jasmine said staring at his clothing avoiding eye contact".
"I don't know what happened last time we spoke but I'm sorry if I did annoy you, i don't ever want to lose you and break our friendship, he said".
Jasmine looked at him and then she felt a feeling that was new and she knew that. "I am sorry for overreacting the last time and I don't know what happened to you but I just want you to always depend on me at your lowest time".
Ethan smiled and nodded almost crying as he hugged her.
