Chapter One

"Would you like to dance with me?"

I looked up and stared into those beautiful eyes. For just a little moment, I found myself lost in them.

"Ouch!" A jab in the ribs brought me back to reality. "What did you do that for?" I whirled round and glared at my best friend.

"Err... You were staring dreamily at Ben's face? He's been standing there waiting for your response!" Alex replied. I turned back to face Ben. He was smiling at me. Damn. I felt like a fool! I hesitated.

Here I was, seated at a table meant for losers with no dates, at a beautiful dance. I'd only been attending this school for a year and here I am, at this graduation dance. I'd gotten Alex to come with me because I've missed her so much since I moved to London. Only a year at school because I'd apparently done well enough to skip the first few years. I'm certainly not complaining. Moving here from Singapore was tough. I was homesick a lot but thankfully kept my grades good enough to graduate.

Alex urged me to dance with Ben. I relented. Fine… Just one dance with him... No big deal. After all, I'd got nothing to lose. I only have a crush on him for half the school year. I'd only ever told Alex about my crush on Ben. Oh, and a few friends I always hang out with, Jen and Kevin. They were good friends. They'd never tell. Or so I hoped. On the other hand, I fully trust Alex. Ten years of friendship is definitely the best thing, ever.

I took hold of Ben's outstretched hand, unable to believe he'd just asked me to dance. He held my hand tightly and led me to the dance floor. I was secretly happy that it was a slow number. Suddenly, something struck me. I didn't know how to dance! I must have been so surprised that it slipped my mind! Just as I was about to pull back, he drew me close. Hand firmly on my waist. My heart soared. I looked up at him. It's the moment of truth now. I hope he won't leave me right there on the dance floor after. I'd look so stupid! He looked back expectantly as if sensing I was going to say something. Here goes my chance of being in the arms of lovely Ben forever.

"Err… Ben… I've got something to say…" Damn that boy, he's still looking at me and smiling! I looked away. I didn't want to get distracted by his dazzling smile.

"I… don't know how to dance." I blurted as fast as I could just to get it over and done with.

There. I said it. I squeezed my eyes shut. He's so going to leave me there. I know it.
