Chapter: 6 Year End Party

*3 months later*

Elara's POV

Time flies so fast, it seems like just yesterday it was the first day of my junior year. I was just a dumb teenage girl back then who was still confused about which classroom I belonged to. Then, there's this boy who helped me, he was so kind, that from then on I admired him.

But they say " people change" , that boy I used to admire for being kind has become rude and cold. He always wear a straight and cold face. He always ignore me whenever I approach him. He always scold me whenever I did him wrong. But despite that, I always believe that there's always kindness in him.

Anyways, let's not think about the past anymore. Today is our year-end party, this is our last time together because next will be going to College. Some of them are going to study abroad. Me, I will take whatever course and school David is going to. I really wanna pursue him despite his cold attitude towards me. And I want to impress him today. The venue will take place in Blackwell Five Star Hotel.

I woke up in the sound of my alarm. It's already 3:00 pm, and the party on 6:30 pm, so I still have time to prepare. I put make up on my face making sure I look pretty, then I wear some of Mom's jewelries. I let my long curly hair just the way it is and wear a peral head band. And then I wear the dress I bought using my savings. I didn't want to bother Papa, I'm sure his mistress will disagree.

I make my way out of my room and tell the driver to drive me at Blackwell Five Star Hotel. Thank God, Aunt Minerva and Maeci was out of town. That way I can breathe and I can attend the party without any delay . After an hour of driving, I'm here now in front of Blackwell Five Star Hotel.

By the way, I haven't describe my dress yet. It is a sparking white dress, it has no sleeves and perfectly hug the curve of my body.

I'm staring at the building, It's huge and I heard that It goes up to 100th floor. Just wow!

I made my way inside the hotel and the party will start in a few minutes. I squeezes myself through the crowd hoping to see Daniel but most of all David.

Then someone approach me from behind that I feel startled. It's Daniel.

" Hey Gorgeous " said Daniel, who can't take my eyes off of me, like his eyes meant something.

" Stop staring, do I look ugly? Is there any dirt on my face? " I ask, feeling frustrated

" Hey, hey relax, no , your absolutely stunning " he answered

" Daniel stop joking , I'm not buying it " I glared at him then I rolled my eyes, but he just laughed at me.

He assist me into the buffet table. Then, we start eating, I'm also hungry. I'm busy eating, as I look up , I saw David staring right through me. His eyes are so cold and it is like piercing through my soul that sent shivers down to my spine. I notice him wearing a black tuxedo that define his broad shoulder. God! He's so handsome, I feel like my eyes shaped like hearts rigth now * giggles* . Despite his intense gaze , I smiled and wave at him. But he just answered with his wide back, then turned around and he vanish out of my sight.

I will find him later, but for now I will enjoy myself. They open the dance floor , then Daniel pulled me to the dance floor. I let my body dance to the music but then I got tired, I think I must've eaten a lot. So, I sneak when Daniel's not paying attention and left him dancing there.

I was about to find to find David when I saw him with Emily. He's just letting Emily flirt with him. He's staring at me at the same time, he's just letting Emily flirting him. Then Emily also spotted me, she smiled, an insulting one, then she sat down in his lap.

I turned my back to them, my eyes felt hot and tears are about to fall. I felt a pang in my heart. I found myself at the bar counter.

I ordered one shot of ladies drink. I drink it in one gulp. Then another and another and another but the pain in my heart was still there. Then I ordered the bartender a hard drink, at first he's hesitant to give me but he gave me anyway. I was looking down for a second then, I drink it in one gulp, my face wrinkled from the bitter taste of wine. I felt the wine draw down my throat. Then Daniel showed up.

" Elara, are you drinking? Come on, I book you a suite " Daniel said

" No, I'm not, whi said I'm drinking? " I answered while smiling

" Come on, let's dance woooohooo! " I shouted

" Elara, you're drunk, let's go " he scolded me

" What room number? I can go by myself. Don't bother " I ask feeling my world is spinning but barely managing to stand and walk.

" Room 99, the room beside the big door " he answered

" I can go by my--- HLEEAAHHHurkurkBLLEAAHH " I guess I just throw up in his suit

" Sh!t " I heard him cussed

" Wait me here " he said then left

I dont know how manage to ride the elevator going up. Then I search for the room number.......... what? I tap tap my head, maybe I can remember the number.

Wait! I remember he said big door. Right, big door, then I spot the big dorr at the end of the corridor. I was giggling as I walk towards it.

I open the door, I made my way inside. It was so spacious. Finally, I can sleep my head is throbbing right now.

Wait! Why am I feeling hot? Did they drugged my drink?
