See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello" Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles. And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, "
-Taylor Swift (love story Taylors version)

Lev Night

31 December

After dropping karlissa off, I went to hang out with Dylan for a while, I was grateful that the whole half-brother thing didn't affect us and no we still haven't confronted our parents about it. 

after hanging out with them for a while I finally decided to go home as it was 5 already and the boys were leaving to spend new Year' at Brady's parents'.

 I begged them to kidnap me and take me with them but those assholes enjoyed seeing me be tortured.

I parked my bike in front of my house and saw 2 limos ready for us. I was already dreading it. at least Ethan would be there.....

Ethan Yong was my best friend for 8 years now and if you haven't guessed it yet, he was also amelia's big brother. Ethan hated his family with a passion so we hit off pretty well because I hated his family and my family too. he was also the heir of his family business same as me so we have a lot in common

I haven't talked to him since winter break as he went to Sri Lanka to 'stay away from his family as far as he could.  I don't blame him, his family is really controlling, and gold diggers despite having their own money (exhibit A- amelia) but Ethan wasn't anything like that.

I walked inside to see my parents already dressed and ready to go. they were busy on their phones and looked up when I walked through 

"good you're here, get ready and we bought an extra limo for you and your date" mom says boringly

I also keep my expression blank "I don't have a date."

"What happened to the one you were gonna ask?" 

"she was busy" I shrugged and went to change before they could ask any further. I got out my tux and changed into it and walked out

"lev we're leaving. be there by 7" dad ordered and I heard the front door open and close from the kitchen

I check the time and it was 6:36. I sigh and plop on the couch not caring if my suit got wrinkled

my phone dings with a text and I smile at the name that pops up

karlissa- having fun at the ball? ;)

me- well I'm not there yet. do you need a ride back?
