Step 10. NOT attend a ball for new years'

Start from the beginning
                                    

please say yes, please say yes

karlissa- nope. I'm already back. I stopped by a target to get snacks for myself

me- save me some. I'll be there by midnight

karlissa- I'll try, no promises. will Aiza and Armaan be at the ball too? arent their family rich too?

me- they are but they don't normally attend things like these so I don't know.

karlissa- if they are tell them I said hi

me- will do. listen I gotta go before my dad flips out. see you in a couple of hours.

it takes her some time to type out a reply

karlissa- ok bye. have fun and maybe sneak me some food:)

I laugh while shaking my head. I switch off my phone and walk to my limo and get in

the limo stops in front of a fully decorated mansion. it looks really good, to be honest. 

I walk out of the limo and walk to the front door with a stone-cold face. 

of course, there was paparazzi. 

on the front door, the whole Yong family was welcoming everyone. on seeing me amelia quickly fixed her hair. I tried not to roll my eyes.

"lev, welcome son" Mr.Yong smiled. emphasizing the 'son'.

"thank you " I shook his hand and ethan's

"yes welcome Mr. night, what a pleasure" Ethan says a little too sweetly clearly mocking his parents

I decided to play along "the pleasure is all mine" 

Ethan gave a pleading look and I decided to save the fucker

"Mr. Yong can I borrow Ethan?" I ask

"of course." I smile and take Ethan by the arm and start to walk away

"phewwww thanks man I thought I would start snapping at people soon" he wipes the invisible sweat off his forehead 

"no problem" I shrug

we both start talking and he tells me about Sri Lanka and how he didn't miss me at all

I just tune in and out of the conversation. I feel an arm on my shoulder and turn to see a girl my age standing there. not gonna lie, she was beautiful but I wasn't really interested and karlissa was more beautiful. karlissa was gorgeous.

"Hey, I'm Davina" she flirts

"Lev" I answer shortly

"so wanna go to the balcony? we could be alone" she purrs
