Christmas Ball

[Becky's POV]

It's almost Christmas holiday break once again. I should be happy and excited for the two weeks vacation but I can't. I hate it.

As usual, we'll be spending it in England. I hate winter. The weather always seemed to be foggy and, my hands and feet would always get numb from the cold.

To make it all worse, I wouldn't be able to see her.

Yes, her.

Freen, the most amazing girl in our school. Who wouldn't fall for her? She is sporty, smart, funny, witty, outgoing, kind, lovely, has amazing hair, a playful smile, an absolutely adorable nose and whew I could go on and on forever about her. And she's gay! Just like me! We have so much in common! Sigh, I honestly didn't know that much about her. We do have a few classes and are from the same homeroom class but that's about it. She's the popular athlete in school while I was just...there I guess, I'm good ol' average teenager. We never had any interaction except for a few group discussions at school or a hi or bye here or there. We never had the opportunity to ever get to know each other, being that we were from different friend groups. It honestly felt like I would never be able to know her. She was just close enough for me to admire from afar but also far enough that I never got to speak to her. Ugh, why am I thinking about her anyways, it's not like I'd ever get the chance to actually talk to her and when I do actually get the chance to speak to her, I'd probably just stutter like a new-born baby, to the point where she'd think I'm were weird.

"It's hopeless", I thought to myself, "she wouldn't even like me. Heck, does she even know I'm gay?"

Sighing heavily at the pessimistic thought, I resorted back to my fantasy world to keep me from going down that depressing rabbit hole. I plopped on my earphones and scrolled through all my Spotify playlists until your thumbs landed on the soft rosy pink coloured icon. Gently, I pressed on it, my eyes fluttered shut slowly and Monsune's Outta My Mind started playing. The soothing beat and gentle tune carried me to a different space...the hall was filled with blurred couples swaying slowly to the beat of the song, people shyly placing their flushed cheeks on their partner's chests and their partners, equally flushed, clutching them with the slightest squeeze. The blue-ish purple lights were dim and hazy, yet I could clearly see her through the crowds of foggy people, staring right back at me with the gaze that made me feel breathless, the gaze that made me want to look away from nervousness, but I also couldn't get enough of it. Still piercing at me with that gaze, she started walking slowly towards me, slithering past the bunches of muddled couples. Gosh, I swear I could melt on spot, just by the intense desire, longing and a tint of lust in that stare. Finally, she stopped in front of me, now I could see her even more clearly. She was wearing a white collared button down that was loose enough to show her defined collarbones but tight enough to hug her lean, slightly muscular build she got from all her training sessions and gosh those biceps. She wore dark suit pants with suspenders and Timberlands didn't match the outfit just enough for it to be funny. She looked at me with the most adorable smile in the world and- Rinnngggg...

My phone ringing snapped me out of my perfect dream world. It was Irin. I was quite annoyed but still picked up. She had called to remind me about tonight's Christmas Ball that I wasn't particularly looking forward to but it would be fun to spend some time with my friends before I had to cram for exams.

"Hey remember to get ready for tonight's Christmas Ball by around..5pm or you bet your ass you're gonna have to walk all the way to the Ball! Oh! Also, remember you have to bring your student ID card, money, water, eye drops and all the essentials like alcohol."

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me"

"Y'know what, tonight just enjoy yourself girl. Exams? Who's that? Stress? Irrelevant?"
