ลำดับตอนที่ #3 : Chapter 2

Friday evening, I dressed in halter neck black chiffon dress with silver beads on the waist line. I put on a little blush and eyeliner with a tint of lip gloss. My hair was pinned up with crystal bow shaped pin on the side leaving big curls which hanged nicely just below my shoulder. At 4:30 PM, Bob was already waiting for me downstairs. He was dressed in black tuxedo. He took my hand and walked me to the car in front of my house. He opened the passenger door for me to sit.We reached the school hall by 5:00 PM. Bob walked with me arm in arm to the hall. I've never felt anything more than friend with Bob. We entered the school hall which was decorated with silk drapes and candles. The hall looked so beautiful. We walked towards the table where all our friends were sitting. The school photographer took our pictures. The waiter walked with tray of drinks towards our table. We all took a glass of champagne each. The principal gave his usual speech but that moment it brought an emotional feeling to my heart. The time really passed by so fast. We all were graduating from high school already. The music started and few of the students were already on the dance floor. Bob asked me to dance with him. We danced for one song then he led me back to the table. My phone was ringing. I took the phone out of my clutch. It was from my Dad. I walked out of the hall to answer the phone. He wanted to know if I need him to pick me up. I told him that Bob would drop me home.When I was about to walk back, I felt someone pulled at my elbow. I lost my balance and felt on a broad muscular shoulder. I felt strong arms grabbed me before I was going to fall. I looked up and he was there. "Anthony!""I was waiting for you!” he said."Oh is that so? Why? Your friends bet you with how much? A hundred or two? You know what; my Dad could pay you higher.......Before I could continue, he already covered his lips with mine. I tried to push him away but he was too strong. I kicked and stomped on his foot many times. At last he stopped. Tears filled my eyes. I just ran back inside. I went to the washroom and cleaned my mouth. How could he? How stupid I was to let him? I walked out and Anthony was standing right in front of the door. He put his hand up almost touching my cheek. Before he could say anything, I hold his wrist, stopping him from touching my face and said, “Don’t you dare!" I left him and walked away towards the hall.I reached my table and tried to act as normal as possible. Suddenly a voice came into the loud speaker."Hi Friends!" All turned towards the stage. It was Anthony speaking through the microphone."It's our last year in school. Some of us would probably get the admission in the colleges already. Right buddies?" The crowd shouted, "Yeah!!” with all the clapping hands.Anthony continued, “I have my aim too but nothing to do with college." Somebody shouted from the crowd, “Shoot it Bro!!"Anthony continued, "I joined here five years ago. I didn't know that time would past this fast."He paused and the hall was silenced. Everyone was eager to let him continue."I didn't know since when I've fallen in love with her and here I am still finding the right time to tell her that I love her very much."Many girls shouted back to him, "I love you too."He laughed and then he said, “May be its just crazy but to the girl I just kissed, I love you very much." He paused before saying, “My friends would know well whom I was talking about. I know I have hurt her unintentionally.” He looked at me and our eyes locked. “My friends challenged me to kiss her. They wanted her to know my feelings. But I guessed I messed it up. I’m sorry. It’s my first time. Please forgive me. ” Somebody shouted, “What’s her name?” While some also said, “Kiss me Anthony!”
He left the stage. I didn't want to move. My friends looked at me as if to ask me if I was all right. I just smiled and acted normal. Everyone else started to eat dinner which was served in buffet style. I was not hungry at all. I told my friends to go ahead and not to worry about me. Bob was still enjoying so I told him that my Dad was already on the way to pick me up. I just made an excuse that I was sick. He was worried but before he could say anything I left him and walked out of the hall.
