Chapter-10

Reality is far away from your imagination.

-----------------------------------------------------------

As we reached there,  the palace is very big made up of white marble, It looks like a mansion a very big mansion.

"wow," I uttered in astonishment.

People were rushing to get to go in there, the parking area is full with all the vehicles or should I say Cars because everywhere where my eyes roaming is just the Cars not normal Cars but all the high-class ravishing cars.

Seriously,  I don't understand why the hell is this gala or whatever it is happening and above all Dylan is throwing?  I'm sure it's not what it looks like, I need to do something to find out or else I"all became mad in all this suspense, let me tell you one thing I can't bear suspense If whenever someone tells me anything and they didn't complete it I"all became conscious and crazy to get to know the answer and here the word suspense is on its peak,  I'm completely lost in my thoughts when Vess elbowed me.

"Lost in thoughts already? " she asked with a smirk.

"Uh, yeah don't know what will be going to Happen! " I uttered.

"Calm down and take a chill pill baby," she said with a chuckle.

"Come on,  let's go we have to conquer the world. " I said while being determined and grabbed her arm as we headed towards the entrance.

By whom?

Yeah, good question by whom I've to conquer the world. Of course, it is by Cole and Dylan and their so-called secret, God knows what were these boys up to.  I sighed as I thought these things, don't know why but I think too much about everything, uh I just need to put a stop to my imagination otherwise I"be just dreaming here without actually doing anything or maybe I'm just overthinking things yeah maybe all the things which I noticed Is pretty randomly. Damn the suspicious thing and suspense I can't resist it. Besides, I don't even know that something like this is happening or there is some mystery behind it.

So,  why not just forget about everything for today and enjoy this day in all most pleasured manner maybe you can make it memorable maybe it is the day that you can never forget just keep aside rest and do your suspicious another day already girl. Don't know when you get the chance like this.

"Okay okay" for the first time in my life I can be agreed with my inner voice,  but before I could think of something else which my mind is ready to do at any cost, someone stomped on my foot.

"Shhh" a voice came from my mouth and the foot is getting pressed harder and harder, I jerked my head in the direction of that foot.

"God damn woman what is wrong with you?  Why are you trying to kill me in front of the biggest mansion I've ever seen in my life? " I snapped.

"Oh thank god!  Now I got your attention finally,  tell me you're not going to sleep here just tell me and by the way you didn't listen to me that's why I need to crack your foot that's the only way to grab your attention " she uttered blissfully like she's enjoying my sight.

"You know for a best friend you are a little violent. Do you?  I muttered.

"But still you love me" she winked at me.

"Such a pity" I uttered with a smirk,  and she laughed.

"Now come on we need to get in to go there otherwise we"ll spend our night in this chilling outside when we are looking stunning,  come on let's go the doors of this obnoxiously stunning mansion.  It is about to close. " then she grabbed my hand and we hurried towards the entry door.

****

Inside the atmosphere is warm not just warm, but the real warm Which is giving the feeling of a hot spring while outside is cold,  at least the feeling is amazing.  I assured myself.

As I came in the view of the hall where the whole thing is set up my mouth is hanged open everywhere is people, dressed like they were in fashion show well when I look myself I feel the same. boys were in tux and girls well they were in dresses, gowns whichever makes them more pretty and fashionable. There is also a section of drinks which is quite impressive because there is the rush and people just want to get drunk but let me tell you I do not drink or least I hadn't drunk before because I never get a chance huh! 

Slow claps for you

That inner voice of mine needs to shut up!  Seriously, let's move on from this section, shall we?  After all, I didn't want to make myself flattered in illusions.

"Come on let's go to eat something, I'm dying from hunger already. " Vess grabbed my hand and we headed towards our delightful destination the food court.

***

I don't understand why I was afraid to back then .when you can enjoy the food, not just food its free food yes!  You heard it correct I can eat whatever I want and it is free, free oh my goodness I've never thought that I would enjoy this much by just seating in a chair and eating delicious food.  I was just enjoying it when someone tapped on my shoulder.

"God damn Amy we are not here for just food?  Or do you just want to be seated at the farthest corner of this place and let me think you are doing this .so,  no one can notice you,  am I right?  Am I?  She said while sending a cold stare to me that could freeze the water in the desert.

Uh! Uh In the dessert you can hardly find some water

I already know that my dear inner voice thank you very much for pointing out it huh!

"No,  not at all. do I look like I can do something like this? " I muttered in a very calm voice.

"Yeah absolutely, Now come on get up we are going to dance ." She declared.

"But I c-" she even didn't let me finish.

"No, but, with me. keep your but with you. If you didn't get up now. I'm going to grab you and forcefully push you towards the dance floor where all the people were dancing. So, tell me do you like to make a scene here, Do you? " she finished with her devilish smirk.

Okay, so I don't have any choice or do I?. let's get over with this although I don't know how to dance it hardly matters. I sighed as I get up and followed Vess to the dance floor where all the people were dancing like they were flying in the sky.

Vess started dancing and she giggles when she does crazy steps. I found it quite funny so, I joined her, and myself the 'Amanda Parker started dancing with her. Let's just say when I said I started dancing. it doesn't mean that it's going to be good.

Have you seen someone in an entirely stunning gown dancing like a crazy manic in front of all people caring about nothing thinking about nobody and being free in mind then my friend you have never lived a real because I just realised what it feels like to feel free, dancing like nobody is watching you but everything came to an end and an announcement made?

"Here everybody listens just to make things interesting why not we play a little game?"

"Yeah, we want to play a game" everybody started shouting and enchanting.

" ok, so the game is we are shutting down the lights and when you grab someone to hold still because you have to dance with him or her when lights again on! Everybody understood. "

" yes!  We want to play the game" they all shouted.

Seriously people went crazy for this stupid game. well, I don't want to play this game, after all, I don't want anybody to get any type of hint of who am I.

But things don't go according to us.do they? 

Just I was about to get away from this stupid game lights went off.

No, no not anymore what I do know, I didn't even see a single light everywhere is darkness I can't play this if anyone somehow gets this idea that I am the nerdy girl, is here in this dress dancing like a manic everyone will make fun of me. oh god, I have chosen to be it because this way it was simpler to go through the past what I've been.

Come on then move away if anyone grabs you then you have to stick with that person and also have to dance with that person.

I moved to struggle to make some way to get away from here in this darkness but someone grabbed me by my shoulders.

My heart started beating faster what I'm going to do now?  Uh, why did I even agree to come here?

Oh come on its just one dance, nothing is going to happen and you forget that you still have your mask on?

Oh yes, I almost forget that I've still my mask on. um though I know that it is not a good idea but It is not bad also.

Oh, shut up get a grip on, lady.

Okay, let's dance then. I also grab that person who grabs me by its hand. I think we are tangled now. And the lights are on again when I came to face to face the very lucky person who grabs me. My mouthed hanged open, a boy whose height is more than six feet I think, with broad shoulders in a tux looking like some Greek god stood in front me but there is one problem he also has his mask on but his eyes are the best eyes I've seen in my life the depth of its make you forget everything and it just wants you to think about them but wait a minute I think I've seen these eyes somewhere but where?  I can't remember.

Umm let's get over this don't think too much

Slowly slowly I get enough strength to do it.  He placed his one hand around my waist and with another hand, he grabbed my hand with his and intertwined our fingers just this action of his makes my heart beat faster like there is a volcano arising inside me and goddamn butterflies I can feel them in my stomach then almost in a whisper he said

"Place your left hand on my shoulder."

this is the first time he uttered a word and I nodded my head and placed my hand as it is commanded in its place.

Then we started dancing and everyone around us started dancing and let me tell you one thing if you think that I'm dancing like a born dancer with him then my dear friend you are wrong because I'm not doing anything. I'm just doing is freed myself and take him control of me so that I can also in a manner of speaking dance with him without embarrassing myself.

How long did it go? 

Seconds?

Minutes?

Hours?

I don't know and I don't bloody care. Right now what I'm feeling is farthest from my imagination. I'm not in control of my body and then he leans so close and whispered in a very low voice so that  I can only hear.

"I think I've seen you somewhere"

What?  No that can't be true, he can't know who I am and what if he will know who am I?  He probably makes me fun and insults me in front of all the people.

Uh, You forget that except for two or four people nobody knows you.

Thank you so much my inner voice for insulting me in a better way. Then how did he know uh maybe he's just fooling around yeah guys these days do these in a manner of flirting, I think. So,  just slow your breath down and take it easy you are a genius after all right?

"You are not the one who expressed this to me, almost every guy declares that when they see me first. " I heard my voice said.

Oh my god, what did I just articulate to give him an intelligent reply and what I did I flirted back?  What is wrong with me.

This sensation is making you insane.

And in reply, he smiled and moved closer closer closer his breath tickling my ears then he cupped my cheeks and straight looking into my eyes and said

"No,  I think I saw you in my dreams. "

Then he kissed me.
