Endrix, Raim and Jake danced so wildly, it was as if they had only ever danced, they often went to disco bars even as minors because of the influence of Raim's family. His uncle owns a disco bar so he can easily get in even though he is still a minor. And he can drink alcohol and that's not weird anymore because now it's normal for minors to drink even if others don't have permission from their parents. In my case, I don't want to imitate them, if I drink hard drinks, I still inform my parents and I don't drink too much alcohol because I know the effect once I get drunk.
After we danced a few times, I suddenly noticed Vanessa who was just sitting in her chair, Mischa and Carmelo suddenly drew me along with the fans who were hoping for my love team with Vanessa in our Campus, I couldn't avoid it because they were all around, they were teasing me to dance with Vanessa but I hesitated when I saw Lara talking to Andrea on the other side of the chair, she would definitely be jealous when she noticed what was happening.
"Just once, I hope you can give our friend Vanessa a chance to dance, there's nothing wrong with it because it was just a friendly sweet dance and no one will be jealous because you don't really have a girlfriend yet, right?" Mischa asked.
I don't know if she's insecure or if she prefers Vanessa over Lara, but when she said that I don't really have a girlfriend, I'm also a little confused, I also don't know the status of me and Lara when it comes to my classmate. It's obvious that we show affection and that's enough for them to see and prove that we are a couple or maybe they just can't accept it because they still hope that Vanessa and I will have a relationship.
They continued to motivate me so I was forced to stand even though my feet were very heavy, Endrix and Raim tried to stop me but it was too late, I reached Vanessa's place and I extended my hand in front of her.
"Can we dance?" I asked her calmly and gently.
My voice caught her attention much to her surprise and delight. She agreed with me after a few minutes and then she held my hands. We walked to the center of the dancefloor and from there I could still hear the giggles and shouts of my classmates.
Vanessa and I looked at each other and I noticed that she was staring at me, I wanted to avoid looking at her because I could feel where she was looking at me.
"How are you? it's been a long time since we talked and I hope you're happy tonight." I casually asked her.
She smiled slightly.
The song ended exactly and was replaced by the song Jealous by Nina.
I glanced in Lara's direction and I saw on one side that she was stunned looking at me, I couldn't see any pleasure in her eyes, it was covered with fear, confusion and a little sadness. I feel a strange jealousy but she just lets me stare at him.
The song continued to play as I held Vanessa's waist.
" Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I?
Shoulda been in her place, here I am
All alone imagining what might have been
If I had been there"
She suddenly spoke.
"I would be happy if only you couldn’t focus on others," Vanessa's voice was sad.
I glanced at her but didn't speak.
"Since Lara came, I can't understand you anymore. I feel like you've gradually lost your love for me. The worst part is that you completely walked away when she disappeared from our campus, I still thought we would have chance to rekindle our love but I was wrong, I'm the only one dreaming of such an imagination for both of us."
Suddenly I was hit by a missile in my heart, Vanessa was hurt by my avoidance and I didn't even let her know that I had someone else in love. I was fooled that I hurt her and I left her hanging on the line, I regretted it for a long time all my life.
"Vanessa I'm sorry for being selfish and immature, I didn't consider your feelings for me before, if I had said it sooner, maybe the situation would have been clear to both of us now." I answered her.
She shook her head and it seemed like she didn't like what I answered her or maybe she felt sorry for me.
"Are you happy with her?" Vanessa asked.
"Vanessa…. I can't answer her.
The song continued.
"Jealous of the girl who won your heart
They say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
And I don't get better than that
"Lance, do you love her more than me?"
I feel the sharp edge of her painful question.
"Vanessa…..
"ANSWER ME!" her voice rose and hardened.
"She is special to me, but you are also special to me." I want us to go back to the way we were before, but it's unlikely that will happen because Vanessa can't accept that I love someone else.
"I'm just a special friend, aren't I?" she asked.
"Vanessa, you are not just a special friend. You know you mean so much to me but I have someone in my heart."
And that's when she stopped talking, even though I didn't look at her, her eyes were a little moist by then. She suddenly gasped and laughed in a way that seemed to vent her anger.
"Lara is very lucky, imagine she got your heart and she is the most special to you, I just hope she doesn't hurt you because I will give her the pain she deserves because I don't want to see you hurt, Lance you are not special to me, you own my heart and soul and no other man can replace you in my heart." I was surprised when she kissed me on the cheek, something I wasn't ready for. My whole body was cold, I didn't know if I was going to have a fever or faint from where I was standing when suddenly someone spoke behind me.
"EHEM! It looks like something unpleasant is happening here," I turned around and saw Lara with a red face and I couldn't tell if she was angry or annoyed.
