"We are calling everyone who is registered for College Prom Night. You can just come here to the covered court" said the woman holding the microphone on the stage.

Honestly, I don't like it. Even I was shocked when I was suddenly blindfolded and when they removed my blindfold I was already in the covered court. It's really good! They intentionally make it sudden by calling the person involved. Annoying! I wish I hadn't come in this morning so I wouldn't have been involved in this.

"Clare, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that after two days they would call the participants, right?" I just ignored Hannah and turned my eyes to the other participants who were there. For sure they are couples, it looks like everyone is happy, but I'm not. I'm just bitter here.

It's annoying. Because since I quit the contract, I also started looking for a job in case of failure. If not overqualified, then underqualified.

"I'm sorry Miss, our company is full. I'm really sorry" and many more like that. I'll just think badly but maybe AJ is responsible for everything why I can't get to work?

I just clenched my fist to remember his name. Aish! It's just annoying. I'm just annoyed.

"Clare. Clare" I just ignored Hannah and I just walked away from her and just sat here on the bench. I just watched them.

"To all participants. We are going to start. We will have 3 stages. In each stage, there will be strong couples, and strong guys will be left. Those who will be left in the last stage will be the King and Queen for the College Prom Night. Good luck guys"

I just didn't pay attention to the announcer, instead, I remained sitting here. Well, what if I go now? It's like that man is coming, right? It's like he's going to kill these gimmicks and if you haven't forgotten, he was really mad at me in the last chapter because his name was written on it.

So I believe, he won't show up late.

"Mr. Fernandez, you're late. Go find your partner so we can start" I immediately turned to the announcer. I just said that he won't come, why is he here?

"Thank you for waiting" I immediately turned to my neighbor and did not notice that AJ had approached me. What's up with this man? In the last chapter, he was very angry at the idea oh sorry scratch that, he was very angry because his name was written then what? It seems that he likes that his name is written. It's a mess!

"As if I waited for you," I said rudely while looking away from him. I just turned to look at the couple, when suddenly something caught my eye.

Holding hands while they were walking closer to the participants. Wait, are these two also involved?

"Are we going to join?" I turned to my neighbor who was also looking at that couple. Yes! That's Mark. That thing called destiny is fine, isn't it? You will always be teased.

"Why are you asking such a question?" I feel like tears will fall from my eyes at any moment.

Upon seeing them like this, it hurts my heart to the core.

"It doesn't matter why I'm asking this question. What matters is are you ready to replace that broken heart of yours with a heart that is not broken and is ready to love?" He spread his hands. What he said gradually touched my heart.

I nodded and put my hand in his hand.

"Clare!" A loud scream woke me up and brought me back to the present.

"That?" I saw that the participants laughed at me, well AJ was also among those who laughed.

"What happened?" I asked confused but they just ignored me. I was about to leave the covered court when AJ suddenly grabbed my wrist and said...

"Do you really want to embarrass me? Well, if so? I'll make sure you'll be more embarrassed than me" and I had no choice but not to leave. Pissed off.

I just frowned as we started to dance. The announcer said a dance and the couples had to dance to it. But only ballroom dances.

It's embarrassingly annoying! I just don't understand either. Everything is just a dream. That's why he's so kind. What he said is beautiful, you can add other quotes. Pissed off.

"Hey what are you doing ?" He screamed weakly. He looks at me badly.

"That?" I'm confused question?

"Are you thinking? You're stepping on my foot. Do you really want us out of here?" Just shake your head.

"Fix the dancing!" His order.

Tell me. Why does the College Prom Night Audition seem so important to him?

"Yes," I answered with a frown.

That person is annoying. If only he could give orders, he thought to himself that he was the boss. If I know that's bonobos. haha

I was quietly laughing here when I was noticed so I started to get angry again. "Are you crazy? Laughing alone?"

I stopped laughing and looked at him. He looked at me badly so I also looked at him. He thought ah! What did he think I would lose? No!

"Couples, you will lose. So to make you want to dance, here's a little something for you" and after the announcer said that, they played a lovesong.

I turned to the couples and they were all so sweet. We're the only ones who don't. Well, Hannah and Lance are also sweet. It's just terrible. are they

"AJ..." I called his name but he just ignored me. I called him again but like he did earlier, he didn't answer me again.

I just remained silent while dancing along. He dances well and it is obvious from his actions that he has studied the dance so he is no longer struggling.

Until now, I still feel awkward. He looks serious like he doesn't want to lose here. I feel ashamed upon remembering what happened a while ago, so I just went, but because he was grumpy, he looked at me again.

"What kind of art is that?" I immediately looked up at AJ who now looks like he was holding his breath.

I smiled awkwardly. "Alright. I promise I won't do it again" and then a long silence.

The song ended and they also removed the couples. I felt nervous when they didn't remove us. Are we really good at dancing or is AJ just pulling me so hard that I can't get rid of it?

We continued dancing until the second stage when they left again. When stage 3 entered, I felt very nervous. This is the last stage.

"For the last stage. Change music" and they did change the song. It's like a wedding song. Terrible! I then turned to our fellow participants in stage 3. Mark and his GF are still involved and a couple is also involved.

Hannah and Hannah were already eliminated in stage 2 but to be honest, there is really something fishy about the two of them.

"Follow my lead" I was shocked when AJ suddenly spoke out of the blue because he hadn't spoken before. I would have reacted to what he said in case I was caught because he was almost hugging me.

I just closed my eyes tightly and just followed him even though the moment was awkward.

We just stayed like that until stage 3 ended. When stage 3 ended, AJ also started holding my hand which surprised me. I wanted to protest but I couldn't because he tightened his grip on it.

"And the time we all waiting for. Drum roll please" and someone drummed from the side. At the same time as my brother was drumming, my heart was also beating fast.

I turned to AJ who was silently waiting for the announcement of who won.

"Okay. It's time for everyone to know. The College Prom Night, King and Queen. The College Prom Night's King and Queen is ... Mr. Mark Adrian Alvarez and Ms. Clare Victoria Ruiz"

I heard everyone applaud. While I was stunned. Did the ears hear correctly? Mark and I are the College Prom Night King and Queen.

I turned to AJ who now seems to be holding back his annoyance. He also turned to me and violently let go of my hand. And then he left suddenly.

Hannah and Lance saw what happened and approached me. I was just dumbfounded as I slowly watched AJ leave.

Why did everything lead to this?
