THE GREAT WINTER DANCE

The hall was massively decorated with classy golden lights falling vertically from the dance floor. The hall had a big twisted chandelier hanging from above. The hall looked like paradise with all the lights and hot boys.

I pulled my black fishnet gloves, gently caressed my hair and looked straight.

What an epic scene! Lian staring at me from the further left and Lijah looking at me from the further right.

I put on a flirty smile at Lian and walked towards him. He had his arms put forward waiting for me to fit in it.

You had your chance Lijah!

Lian slowly held my hands and I moved closer to his body. Then he moved his foot and I moved mine after him. After few seconds we were in total sync. I noticed Li and Caroline trying to figure out their dance steps. They looked lost! I focused deep into my dance. A memory that I buried deep down my heart rose. I remembered me and Li dancing with deep passion to 'thousand years'. The way he held my waist, the way he breathed against my lips. All I could think about was that.

" I love you Li." Those words whispered in my heart as I danced.

More and more people came in and the hall was almost fully occupied. I pulled back from Lian and made comfort in a corner by the door.

" Should I take you out?"

It was Lijah's voice. He stood there beside me .

" Ha, you almost scared me!"

"It's getting busy in here. So, do you want go out?" He asked.

Why does he care about me after all that he said to my face?

"Crowds are nothing for me now, after all I went through." I replied looking straight in to his eyes.

Never mind I said that! It was truly getting so uncomfortable.

" Where is Caroline? Your date!." I asked.

"She is somewhere in the hall trying to manipulate the judges to making her win the 'Miss Vinlex' title." He responded with a laugh.

" Great!" I spoke with a nasty stare.

" Where is Lian? Your date!."

" He went to get me a drink."

"Oh, so you are not done with drinking in parties and events. Good!" He spoke.

I get what he is trying to tell. But, who cares!

Lian came at the exact time with the drinks. I think it's better to focus on a guy like him. He is full of joyful vibes and is surely not a bit toxic. He is a regular teen and that is what I want.

" It's time to choose the King and Queen of Vinlex High. All those wonderful couples, please take your position diagonally on the dance floor."

An announcement was made from the floor.

Lian offered his hands and I accepted it with a smile. Both of us walked to the floor with our arms locked. I felt too majestic!

Lijah and Caroline stood at the other end of the line. There were almost seven beautiful couples.

I wouldn't care about this title if it was a week before, but, now it's absolute show time!

We waited for the soft flow of music to begin. Our hands met as the music began. His eyes were all over me like he was falling in love with me. Our breath and feet were in perfect sync which made us look like magical couple. He adapted quite well to the sudden change in my movements. Slowly it turned to a competition between us about who changes the movements the best and adapts to it.

I took a glance at the audience. They were in the perfect state, gently moving their head with the melody. Most of them had their eyes on Daisy and Trent. They totally deserved that attention.

The music slowly sped up, making both of us to speed up our moves. He makes me a thousand times better in dancing. For a moment there I got lost in his magical light green eyes! The happiness slowly shifted to nervousness as the dance continued. The emotion then shifted to 'fear'.

Am I falling in love with him?!
