Chapter 9 - chapter -10

Victory by victory in each step, dance academy managed to find fame and reputation. I failed to find any of my old memories. Stacy went missing after the piece of information that she had provided right before adithya managed to take his leave, without saying a word. During this years time, an irritating character that I had ever seen was daniel. Even though his prince was engaged to another woman, he definitely managed to keep me away from any guys that tried to hit on me. Pierre who later became my best friend were no different from daniel.

For some I genuinely felt bad. There were guys who would recieve death threats. Some even got bitten by heaps of ants in their bed. Those few who managed to go on a date with me, kind of were real cheaters. The moment I reach my home, a package would be delivered that shows the evidence of being cheated. It is like, even though he is not here, the jerk found his ways to annoy me. After my each failed date, "Wait for me my dear princess, your prince will soon fly to find you... I'm just helping you keep your promise for me."a text message will be delivered from the prince of hell himself. "My love my life and my everything" hits different making my heart flutter.

On account of such repeated meddlers I decided not to tell them about a person who I really managed to like after the unrequited fake love that I almost fell for under his creepy spell.

It has been one whole year. He managed to be engaged. What am I ?, his sidekick?. I'm not planning to settle down for such an actor. George, who got recently settled down in India is the reason for my smile.A good demeanor, a cute smile, and he also helps with my choreography. What I truly love about him is that he knows when to stop. Pierre and Daniel haven't yet found out about us yet. They have been busy with lovers quarrel. I'm lucky, I guess!!. Today is our third date alas.

I was all ready for the date in a black dress with white floral printed design on the navel.

I was all ready when the bell rang and I opened the door only to find pierre standing outside crying. I immediately hugged her out of pity. Is it fake?

"What happened dear?" I asked cooing her with my hand behind her back.

"Well.. SURPRISE... I got engaged with daniel.." I knew it.. I hugged her with all my heart's content.

"Pierre, I have to tell you something very important....it is just that I have someone who I really like.. his name is George. He is genuine and truly cares for me. He is just always busy with his phone.." I said. Not everyone in the world is perfect. Even though he doesn't listen to what I have to say or buys me anything too oily for dates , it could be his way of being tender. Pierre slightly nodded her head. There was something about her which is really obscure.

"So?," she asked . The bell rang and I opened the door to find the well built man on black coat all ready for the date.

"Pierre, I'm so sorry, he is my date" George who was still texting on the phone, happened to ignore both of us.

"He is clearly on a date with his phone " said pierre. I just rolled my eyes on her. She just shrugged and walked away towards another room with phone on her hand. I can't blame her on this one. I turned my attention to George who put his phone away. His attention being now on me, I noticed his sweaty face.He tried to maintain a calm composure, although his irregular breathing states otherwise.

"What happened?", I asked noticing that he was clearly not in his right state of mind given his rather strange demeanor.

"Uhmm work stress, puts me heavily devoted to my boss "I felt sorry for him. He was still struggling with the new branch that had just started here in my native land.

"He is coming tomorrow and he is very strict with his employees..and he sent loads of paperwork for me to complete ere he arrives." I hugged him, and patted his back trying to soothe his mood.

"Is there anything that I can help with?"

"No" he answered pulling himself away from me.ouch

He left bidding adieu. I just closed the door and looked at the moon feeling a bit insecure. I called him once again but he didn't pick it up. The next day, I walked myself to College. It was officially my last day at school. Our final exam results were announced. It was our graduation day. I'm really happy. I'm planning to do masters in pune. My mom accompanied me. Pierre also tagged along with us. After the ceremony, we both took pictures and videos of our classmates. They were planning a party at justin's house.

"Pierre, I'm not comfortable with going to a party that is held at justin's house." I said, pleadingly.

"It is just that.." "it is okay.." daniel confirmed stopping pierre from speaking anymore.They are definitely hiding something.

Two months of freedom. No more early wake ups or midnight studies.

"Hi, I'll take you out tonight..there is a business party tonight, so be ready at 7:00pm sharp" message from George made me smile. He was trying to make up for yesterday. I got all ready for the date by 6:45pm. He was as expected in his tuxedo suite. Handsome as ever. He walked me into his car.

The car finally stopped at the unexpected person's house.

"Why did you bring me here?" Fear and chills were creeping throughout my body.

"The party is being held here. It was particularly selected by my boss himself, his most esteemed friends will also be here." Why did it have to be at justin's house??
