Chapter 52 Prom Escort

 A few more months have passed, and it's time to find a gown for the upcoming junior-senior prom in Daniella's batch. The J.S. Prom is held every February, which happens to be the month of hearts. In that program, a dance will take place, and someone wants to dance in the middle of the school gym. The chairs are all around, and the only place where students can dance is in the middle of the chairs with other students.
 
 It’s not just a simple prom that will happen because the teachers will make a sudden announcement of who the faces of the night are and whether it's for men or women. While the bright light flashes back and forth among the students, when it stops on someone, it means he or she is the face of the night, the most beautiful or handsome of all the students, and only they stand out.
 
 Daniella was stunned in the school garden, and she was the only one there because Bree was sick, so she couldn't enter. Daniella is close to her classmates, but Bree is really the only one around her most of the time.
 
 "Prom night is approaching; will I go or will I stay at home and watch TV?" I pondered, still stunned. "But I don't know; it's up to Bree if she wants to."
 
"What are you doing here?"
 
 "Ahhh! I was surprised by the person who suddenly spoke because I was the only one here and no one was with me. I didn't feel that anyone was around. I turned left and right, and as I faced behind me, William was there. "Why are you here?"
 
 William walked over and sat in the chair in front of me. "I noticed you weren't with Bree. Where is she?"
 
 "She's having a fever, so she can't come in here."
 
 "You're the only one here."
 
 I looked lazily at William. "Did you see anyone else with me before you sat there, didn't you?"
 
 "Maybe."
 
 My eyes widened. "I really don't have anyone with me! Maybe later you'll see something I don't see. I'll leave here then. " As I waved my hand and checked the area around them.
 
 "You're the only one I see."
 
 I smiled. "Really? "
 
 "Yes."
 
 "Why did you come? Maybe you don't want to see me alone. " I kept my mouth shut so that it would not be obvious that I was trembling.
 
 William folded his arms. "You look so crazy here that you're looking at absence. I approached you because you might catch a wind and you won't be able to go back to normal."
 
 The feeling like there was a butterfly in my stomach was gone. "I thought that," I whispered.
 
 "Why can't you decide if you will attend or not the prom?"
 
 I put my arm on the table and moved my fingers as if playing a piano. "I don't have anything to do at that prom. I'm just going to watch the dancers, so there are many more shows at home on TV. "
 
 "Last year there was no J.S. Prom. Why haven't you joined now? "
 
 "I don't want to go there anymore."
 
 There was a moment of silence before William spoke again. "As far as I know, the winner of The Most Beautiful Woman a few months ago must have been there as well in our program."
 
 Gradually, my forehead furrowed. "Huh! Who said, Ma'am, didn't say anything?"
 
 "Ma'am didn't say anything to you. Since you were chosen as The Most Beautiful Woman, you should also be present there. That's all our adviser said, and that time you were absent for a week because of the wound you got in the cave."
 
 "Are you sure about that?"
 
 "Yeah, ma'am didn't mention it again today, but that's exactly what she said then."
 
 I grabbed my hair and ruffled it. "Why is prom so popular?" I looked at William. "Should there be an escort at the prom?"
 
 "It could also be nothing."
 
 "I could tell it to Alexander."
 
 William's face became serious. "He doesn't study here, so he can't attend J.S. Prom. Just don't have an escort if you're looking at another school. "
 
 "Okay, I'll just go alone or Bree will be with me."
 
 William would have liked to hear from Daniella if she wanted to be his escort, but Daniella hadn't been mentioned yet, even though it was obvious from the way William spoke.
 
 Later, Daniella asked, "You, William, do you already have a partner at the prom?"
 
 "Me?" I frowned and suddenly spoke, and when I turned around, I saw Charice approaching. "You?"
 
 "Yes, I am, and no one else."
 
 I looked at William with a serious face. "Really, William?"
 
"No," was his short answer.
 
 I gave Bree a sarcastic smile. "We should be partners," Charice said to William.
 
 "Assuming you're too Charice, it appears that you're the only one who knows William is your partner."
 
 Charice just stared at me. "Your mom and I have already discussed that I will be your partner at J.S. prom."
 
 "You know, Mama won't decide who will be my partner, and you know that, Charice. If you wanted me to be your prom escort, you would have talked to me. You have the courage to say that to my mother, but not to me. You are close to her, but not all you want, you get. You will always make a bridge, mama, just for what you want," William said calmly, but everything he said had content.
 
 While I was just silent. "Before, when I wanted an answer, you said yes right away, why does it seem like I'm just requesting one this time, and it's hard for you to give it to me?"
 
 "It was different then than now. We were kids back then. We now have our own minds to make our own decisions."
 
 "I'm trying to restore your trust in me, but why don't you let me do that?"
 
 "Charice, because someone else is trying to cause trouble, I just want to forgive you right away. How many times have you ruined my schedule with what I'm doing and begged Mama just to forgive you? " William looked straight into Charice's eyes. "What about my own decision if you always use my mother to get me to give in to you? Everything can go back to normal, but not like this. I can forgive you for not doing anything, even if you are still in another country, but what did you do? You messed up even more so. "
 Tears rolled down Charice's face. "I just want us to go back to the past, William!"
 
 "That will happen, but not yet. I can forgive you, but not yet. "
 
 Meanwhile, Daniella seems to be watching a movie with the weight of the scene, but even if she wants to stand up and leave so as not to hear the conversations of the two, it seems like her body doesn't want to work to leave.
 
 "In front of me, they really expressed resentment toward each other. Are they know that I'm still here?" I said in my mind as I looked back and forth between the two.
 
 "And the one I chose to be my partner was Daniella, so we can't be partners anymore," William suddenly said.
 
 Charice frowned. "This girl!" pointed out Daniella at the same time.
 
 I was confused by them. "Why?"
 
 "You're the one I chose to be my partner at the upcoming prom."
 
 "That's all, w-what-?" she said vigorously.
 
 "Yes, you will be my partner, and I will be your escort at J.S. Prom."
 
 I gaped and frowned in front of William. "Are you serious?"
 
 "Do I look I'm not" And he showed even more seriousness in his face.
 
I looked at Charice and gave her a frightening look. "Even if I'm alone and you won't be my escort, it's okay," I said hesitantly.
 
 William looked at Charice, and he saw how it would look to Daniella. "There's nothing you can do. I'm your escort, and don't think of others. " He stood up. "The class is about to start again. We need to go back." He walked away without looking back at Charice and Daniella.
 
 When they didn't see William, Charice approached me with an angry face. "What do you think you've won? Not because you're the one he chose to be his partner, which means he already likes you! "
 
 "I don't think that's just you. "
 
 She grinned. "I knew William even though we were kids when we parted ways. He was using someone to cover up his true feelings so that person wouldn't notice, and I suspect he just said that to make me jealous, even if he's a little angry with me. "
 
 My forehead furrowed. "I can't stand the strength of this one's fighting spirit anymore," I whispered. "So if that's the case, does it look like you're really mad at me now? If he is just try to be jealous of you, why didn't you tell me earlier that you know each other? I'm not the one you're paying attention to, even though you're the one who has problems with both of you. "
 
 "Because he's always looking at you! It would have been okay at first, but after a while I noticed that his attention was on you, so it's unlikely he'll like you too, so as soon as possible I'll find a way to break you up with him. Remember that! " She screamed loudly before leaving.
 
 "William, always looking at me?" I was confused and completely lost sight of Charice, so I followed her to their next class.
