"thanks you too" was what she replied ayato while they were alone on that special night. .well they think they were alone as they had no idea that trina is listening to them and secretly taking photos of them
They both returned to the party hall.. when hioma saw them coming together he wasn't very pleased and that smile on his perfect face vanished
He stood up and went on the stage
"Please welcome my girl and play a nice song for us please" he smiled at the music player and the whole light turned to that special girl who was wearing the same badge as hioma's. ..although she had no idea about it
Hioma went and held bella by her hand and took her to stage ...and with a nice slow song .. their dance began
The photographers were focusing on them whole bella was still shocked
"You like that badge" hioma asked while smiling
"It was you..i had no idea all about this" she replied
And hioma gave a warm smile in reply
When their formal dance finished.. bella's eyes met with fransis who was sitting on the table while having wine
"Why he asked me about jake??" Bella was confused
then someone who was friend of hioma presented a video of hioma and his friends fransis, ayato and Edward fooling around and were dancing..doing silly things ..on big screen
Everyone was laughing and enjoying their silly moments while the 4 friends laughed at themselves and werea bit of embarrassed
After few formal dances and a nice photo session. . Fransis disappeared from hall and so did bella
Hioma got a text .. he immediately picked his cellphone from his pocket and read it..and said something to ayato through his expressions
***
Bella and fransis was out ..in the garden alone .. at night while the wind was blowing strongly
Bella's face was red as he was blushing and her heart was beating madly
"Why you brought me here?" She broke the silence
Fransis grey eyes and his red shirt was looking more romentic in the moonlight and he gave a soft laugh and came closer to her
" i wonna ask you something " he said with a straight face having hot expressions
"about him" ..his deep voice reached bella's ear and she looked at him
At the mean time. .there appeared hioma and ayato together
"Fransis told us about him" hioma tried to investigate
"But i have already told you!" Bella looked down and she wanted to be rude about this question but she can't as she was talking to principal
" i wonna know too" bella lifted her face to see Edward coming to her
"It has nothing to do with you" she gave a straight answer
"You got to tell me " hioma asked softly
She was surrounded by four boys in that dark lawn area
"We wanted to know about jake? Who is he"
Fransis asked while getting close to her
it was so suffocating. . She wanted to ran away from there but she can't do that while the principal himself was asking her something
What more is that she hated the presence of Edward
She glared at Edward and tried to change the topic " he left me alone in that weird place" she pointed towards Edward
"We have asked him about it" fransis frowned at him and Edward shrugged in annoyance
"Whenever you need help...when ever..never hesitate to ask us" hioma said in low voice while looking straight in bella's eyes
Bella noded and tried to escape but she couldn't as ayato and hioma was standing in front of her
" look there he is!" Few girls wearing hight heels came towards them
Also the photographers and the girls having their cell phone
Those girls are from magazine club who were taking photos for their magazine of college
This crowd helped bella to escape from there and then she was again in the hall but there were very few people left there
"Bella where were you? ?" Sawera asked as she was a bit worried that her fragile cousin disappeared from her sight for too long
"I was " bella couldn't answered. . her heartbeat was fast and and lips were parted as she was breathing fastly
Sawera fixed bella"s hair and they went to the food table and had juice
After sometime hioma and his friends came inside with a crowd
In the end there was a speech by ayato the head boy and the party ended at 11 at night
It was dark outside. .and boys were taking their partner to their homes
Hioma was still giving an interview about the event while he wanted to drop bella at her home
Fransis came to her and held her arm "lets go i will drop you home " bella looked at him and he smiled "don't worry i won't left you like Edward did"
Its not that bella don't believe him anyway. .she sat with him in car .. and there was silence
When they stopped at traffic signal fransis broke the silence
"Are you mad at me?" He asked bella softly who was looking other way
Fransis took a deep breath .. "aww how cute you look when you are angry!" Fransis said to bella in a funny way
"I am getting jealous! Aww cute babies don't get mad " he poked bella and acted like he was talking to a kid
Bella tried her level best not to laugh
"Who is a good baby? Who is ?" At last bella couldn't stopped herself and she laughed
Now the environment was pleasant..."whats wrong with you!" Said bella while laughing
Fransis who was looking unbelievably dashing smilled
They talked all their way but fransis never asked about jake even once after that because he knew that question hurt bella
***
Fransis dropped bella at her home .. he got out of the car and stood by his car..as bella was about to go inside. .he held her hand and pulled her close to him "you are looking like a princess " fransis said as he was holding her hand and looking at it.. "people say i am a prince " he looked in bella's eyes and put his hand in his pocket and his hand came out with a cute heart shape shinning silver pink necklace .. bella admired things like that alot.. he gave her that locket and when she opened it there was written "princess and prince look cute together" in a perfect sharp joining writing
"Thats beautiful " bella said softly and smile on fransis and bella's face was somewhat different
their eyes met and they passed a smile .. that was not a friendly smile ..something more then friendly
Bella was at her house door..but something was holding her from going inside ..she wanted to stay with fransis a little more..and wanted to enjoy his beauty in moonlight
But then the door opened and someone came outside
It was james who was worried that bella hadn't came yet ..and he saw fransis and bella together outside their house
"How was the night honey" james asked while coming towards her
Bella noded "awesome "
" hi i am fransis spears " fransis introduced himself
"He dropped me home" bella added
"I know him" james smileld at him
"On tv??" Bella turned her neck to look at james who was standing with bella having his hand on bella's shoulder
"Hmm" james noded
"I must go now" fransis gave a warm perfect smile
And sat in his car
Bella and james went inside and fransis stood there until they went inside
Then he smiled and turned his car back and went away
***
Bella came in her room and layed on her bed tired. .and repeated all the things in her mind that happened that night..her dance and that necklace and that awesome moments
She changed her dress and after bathing she wore her comfortable loose t-shirt and sleeping pajama and went to her bed with her wet hairs
She cuddled in her bed and was almost ready to sleep when she received a text message
"Bella? Are you asleep ?
It was from hioma
"Not yet" she replied and sat on bed ..waiting for his reply
"Are you free tomorrow? ?"
"umm yeah "
"cool..how about you come to my house "
And their conversation continued for long time and bella didn't realised what time it was at night when she slept ..with every reply from hioma ..her heartbeat continued to increase
And she didn't realised that she slept between their conservation. .and she lost in her dreams after that sweet night <3
