When the Ice Queen melts

Chapter 4

Emeri

Tonight is the night.

But there is no any single excitement in my body. Honestly, I'm just here in the party because I was alone at home and I felt really lonely. My parents are still out of the country and only God knows when are they going back home.

All people were looking at my direction. They are stunned and completely captivated of my beauty. Guys are drooling while the girls are full of jealousy and envy. There were whispering and whistles but I completely ignored them. I do not care.

And oh before I forgot, Matteo is with me as a date, a dummy date to be exact. He looks proud though. Who wouldn't?

"I guess I'm the lucky one." Matteo whispered to me with a smirk.

"Of course." I agreed with an eye rolled. "You have me as your date tonight."

Matteo chuckled and leaned more closer to me. "Who would not? You are the famous Ice Queen in this school."

I gave my best friend Elena a small wave when our eyes met. She is pretty tonight though and I know guys were trying to get under her pants tonight. Matteo excuse himself to go to his friends and I walked straight to Elena but stopped when someone came to me.

"Hey." A handsome guy said and smiling from ear to ear.

I looked at him from head to toed and vise versa. "Hey isn't my name, idiot."

"I'm sorry I didn't know your name." He apologized with a flushed face. "Never mind." He quickly turned around to avoid more embarrassment.

Apparently this party is for everyone even for outsider. New people, new faces and too bad though, they didn't know me because if they would. They will chose not to near me.

"Poor guy." Elena chuckled with a shake of her head.

I just shrug it off. "He just called me Hey."

My best friend laughed. "Anyway, why you took so long? I was waiting for you like.."

We went to the buffet table and grabbed something to eat. Good thing though, the food is really delicious makes our tummy happy. I spend my whole time sitting despite of countless invitation to dance by plenty of guys because I did not came here to flirt but just relax.

"Hi." I turned to look at the guy standing next to me. I can't deny that he is pretty good looking, those blue eyes, thick and long eyelashes, straight nose and a very playful lips. "I'm Ruther. Can we dance?"

It does not matter how good looking he is, when I say no, no. "No, I'm sorry."

The smile didn't vanish from in his face despite of my rejection. "That's okay Emeri Perron."

My eyebrows furrowed. "How did you know me?"

"You are the famous Ice Queen of Walton Academy Emeri. So no one does not know you." I noticed something in his eyes. It held so many meaning. I'm not sure if to be scared or something. "And I'm one of those people who admire you."

"Oh okay." I was totally out of words.

Gosh, this guy is so creepy. I returned my attention back to my best friend Elena in the dance floor with some random guy. "But still I'm rejecting your invitation."

"That's fine." He answered. There is no disappointment in his voice but amusement. "Maybe next time." I just shake my head in disbelief. This guy is so confident but I will make sure that he has no single chance for him to dance with me. "See you."

I was alone walking in the hallway after I used the restroom. There is no one here, very quiet and all I could hear is the noise that my heels is making against the floor. Until I heard something, like a musical instrument but I wasn't sure what it is. Maybe a violin? Piano?

Out of my curiosity, I stopped in front of the room and silently opened the door. At first, it was too dark and I couldn't see anything. When my eyes were done adjusting in the dark, I saw someone sitting. It was a girl according to her baby blue dress and long brown hair.

What is she doing here?

But who cares? I just shru it off and about to close the door when I heard her singing. Oh trust me. Her voice is so beautiful and the sound of piano makes everything to hypnotize me.

Two o'clock and I wish that I was sleeping

You're in my head like a song on the radio

All I know is I gotta get next to you

Yeah I gotta get next to you

Sitting here turning minutes in the hours

To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone.

Cuz you don't know that I gotta get next to you.

Maybe we're friends, maybe we're more

Maybe it's just my imagination

But I see you stare just a little too long

And it makes me start to wonder.

So baby, call me crazy

But I know you feel it to

Maybe I, maybe I, just gotta get next to you.

I pressed my back against the wall and closed my eyes with a smile on my eyes. Totally enjoying the mini concert happening tonight. I imagined her fingers were dancing against the piano.

Asked around and I heard that you were talking

Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league

What a fool, I gotta get next to you

Oh, yeah

It's five in the morning and I can't go to sleep

Cause I wish, yeah I wish you knew what you mean to me

Baby, let's get together and end this mystery—

My heart almost drop on the floor when my phone rang a little loud, just enough for the the girl to hear it. I panic and decided to walk away immediately. I didn't want her to see me, whoever she is.

The thought of the girl stuck in my mind the whole night even her voice rang against my ears. I tried pushing off my head but it was really difficult. What's happening to me?
