I don't know how to dance

Bringing back my gaze to her, I asked: "How did you know about all these accusations?"

Still facing ahead, she replies "Ada told me everything"

I twist my face and as though she knew how confused I was she clarifies instantly "The other roommate"

"I thought you don't love communicating with her…"

"Yeah I don't because she's poisonous and more dangerous than Syrah" she mentions

"Okayyy…" I respond still not getting why she refers to Ada as such.

"Could we not talk about this again. I don't think I should be having this conversation as far as those bitches are a concern" she voices out

Bitches!!? I exclaimed within me before responding "Sure…"

As soon as I pivoted my head away from her regard, my pupils fell on HIM! You'll ask me who and I'll tell you, I don't know his name because the only thing I could recall was those hazel eyes of his and full-figured light skin which couldn't stop glowing even in these deem lights.

It seems he just arrived because of the salutations he was receiving from girls. He was like a diamond in their view. I wouldn't really disagree with that because I felt the same when studying his close features.

He was moving towards our direction and my heart began pounding for no good reason. Or maybe well, because he's handsome appearance was non-resistible just like a celebrity coming for his fans.

He stopped 1km away from us and squatted close to Jessica and some of her friends. Of course, she started blushing like a tomato as he flited her and her girl.

Though he wasn't so close, his fragrance overtook that of the hall and every other fragrance apart from one…which was Evan's. I don't know why but I just couldn't get him off my mind.

From the moment I set my eyes on him during Mrs. Jana's talk, I felt something really connecting which became so profound when I went in his arm. Though my head was still on my almost shattered heart from the things I saw and felt to that extend, I couldn't forget his alarming bouquet of Savage.

Without noticing Abigale tapped my tight before my sights of her came intensely followed by her words "I guess you're a mind traveled too when it comes to Johns"

"What are you talking about?" I questioned sincerely lost

"I just saw the stare you gave the guy next to Jessica so need trying to hide it"

"Uhh…" I went short of words not because her statement was true but because it wasn't completely about him and that was something I couldn't expatiate.

"That's a guilty look over there," she says pointing her tiny finger at my face.

"Don't be silly. Every normal girl who is honest will tell how attractive he is so no point making a big deal out of it" I defend myself and she laughs showing off her slight corner dimples.

Though she's deeply hurt, she still manages to laugh in it portraying how pure her mind and heart are towards others. I'm lucky to have to meet someone like her.

"So he's called Johns uhh?"

"Yep. He is the senior prefect as well as the overall school prefect" she lets out and I reciprocate by heading gently while looking at girls' lust in their gazes of him.

After some moments of silence, the playlist is changed and Abigale rises as though she was shocked by her chair and my eyes dart to her sit trying to see what caused her reaction but were taken aback when she drew me by my flexible hand gesturing me towards the dance floor full of blowing mind teens with almost everyone holding his/her partner.

I reciprocated reluctantly with my ass firm on my seat but that wasn't enough effort to resist as she worked her muscles altogether finally lifting me off.

"Common…dodonot be heady," she says after we commenced our path towards the center of the hall sliding pass sticky teens who got drowned by the beat booming my eardrums.

We arrived with her hands still gripping mine, motioning me to move along with her as she starts twirling her waist rhyming the beat, and before I knew it, was doing just fine with her couching.

Like seriously, I don't know how to dance and though I tried several times in my closet, it wasn't something anyone wants to witness. But look at me now, shaking with my Abigale which I'm certain the only reason I am free is because of her and because every other person here is minding his or her own business and do not have their gazes on me.

For the first time in my life, I can proudly say, I attended and party and of course, was vibrant in it.

After a very long period of craziness, we went to the liquor side and for some strange reason, I was drawn to gulp tequila.

It wasn't that bad in my mouth, so I went in for more till I started feeling underweight as my body became more flexible.

Abigale noticed and suggested when I tried going in for another "I think you've had enough" owning my cup from my hand.

"You should have rest now I guess… you seem really unhealthy" she pills

"Could you please sent me a moment��to dance a little?" I pleading.

Maybe doing a little more excise will help shake my dizziness off because right now, I'm already in space and hope I land on earth soon.

"No!" she bounces firmly

"Please..." I persist and she takes in a long sigh striding her hair over before nodding followed by her this "Four minutes left. Your time had been ticking"

Is she kidding me right now!? Like seriously that was kind of a way in declining to my proposal which I won't argue against because I understand she cares and wants me better.

Without wanting to hear more of her rules, I regain my dancing position before she kills time with her words and tells me time is up.

Immediately I rushed in and began moving my body, I felt within my blurry view that I was being peeped at by someone.

Every time I launched a different dancing style, I kept feeling an intense gaze which I haven't been able to discover who exactly he/she is because I was drowned in the music and didn't want whoever it was noticing I got my blue eyes on them.

Still, into my spacecraft world, I felt someone backed me while I whined waist placing his hands on my hips assisting me. I was a little tipsy but conscious at the moment to notice his grasps so I swirled to take a glimpse of who it was but failed due to the 'scales' that had developed on my pupils.

The only thing that gave me knowledge of who it was is this strong familiar scent from…Johns. Could he be the one? I query myself.

And as though he was in my mind, he smirks causing his full image to be visible to me since I knew who it was.

I'm supposed to be in shock because this guy is popular and every girl is dying to get close to him but I just feel a little weird and scared because I'm not completely myself and may end up doing something forbidden because of my hormones.

Wait a minute…could it be he was the one staring all these while… It doesn't matter anyway.

He presses himself against me with his hands still positioned on my hips and I land my pegs on his strongbox in my subliminal self, darting into his enchanting eyes.

To be continued…
