CHAPTER 17

wanna take pictures he asked.

I thought you wouldnt ask I nudged him and he laughed, he took my hand and we ran off.

PROM NIGHT

"OMG Fiona just posted her outfit, like she looks bomb" Jenny stated as they run around the room.

Mum gave me three gold necklaces to give to them, thats why I'm in Lola's room but it seems they are all preparing for the party in her room.

"jeez, theres definitely no way on earth and in mercury will Fiona look better than us" Titi replied as she picked up her diamond crystal blue dinner gown. That gown cost about $10,000, gush we dont swim in money that much, but these sisters of mine dont seem to get it, they literally spend like $100,000 on dresses in a month.

Titi stretched the gown on the bed and sprayed a rose scent fragrance all over it.

Lola picked up her own dress, they are literally the same design but hers was crystal purple while Jennys was deep cherry red.

They will probably outshine every other girl at the party, thats what they are so good at.

I smiled as I watched them, its funny the way they are acting over just a few hours party, they were behaving as if its their wedding, lol.

"Andra, what the hell are you still doing here" Lola asked me as she carefully applied her eye shadow.

"huh" I mumbled.

"bitch, go get dressed, and make sure you look your best" Titi stated.

I laughed a little and walked out, as I was shutting the door I heard Jenny whisper.

" so many hearts are gonna get broken tonight and some people will leave our lives for good."

"totally" Lola backed up.

What are they talking about, are they planning on breaking up with their boyfriends. Crazy girls, well high school is over, and so is every relationship built in it.

I chuckled and walked back to my room to prepare, I'm just gonna put on a light makeup cause tonight is basically for the graduating students.

DARA HOTELS.

My sisters and I walked majestically into the hall crowded with smartly dressed and beautiful students dancing and having fun.

"who's idea was it to host prom night party in a hotel instead of the school hall" I shouted at my sisters cause the ear deafening speakers is making it hard to hear anything else in the hall.

"thats how it is in Lily Ivy" Lola shouted back as she tapped to the Yvon Cannon music the DJ was playing.

"So many crazy rules in this school" I mumbled to no one's hearing.

"gush I love Yvon, Heard she schooled in Lily Ivy" Titi stated as she danced.

"for real" Jenny asked.

"yea, I once stumbled on her profile while I was in the principals office" Lola backed up.

I decided to look around for Alex, I'm tired of these three right now, I just wanna dance with Alex.

"hey, I'm gonna go look for Alex alright, you guys enjoy yourselves". I screamed and turned to leave.

"hey there comes the beast" Lola pointed at her right, I turned and saw the most handsome guy Ive ever seen in my entire life. He was in a designers, sure thing expensive black silky French tuxedo, a black American bow tie laid peacefully on his neck, his black German shoes could definitely cost millions of USD. His hair was dyed in deep glassy ice white color.

With his two hands slipped into his pockets, he walked up to us or perhaps to me. My knees wobbled, I almost lost balance. For Gods sake I dressed up to make this guy loose his balance each time he looks at me, but I guess reverse is the case right now, and it is so annoyingly romantic.

"gush he's beautiful" I heard jenny whisper rather loudly.

"understatement of the century girl" Titi backed up, and for some reason I felt angry but I waved it off.

"hey you" Alex greeted when he finally got through his slow motion moment and got to where we were standing.

"hey" I replied.

"you look amazing"

"you look...."

"perfect" someone helped me to finish the statement. I turned to know who. Fiona.

"Ally you look like a Greek god right now, O M G, I cant wait to dance with you" she whined.

"you will keep waiting" he replied and dragged me out of the crew.

His brothers appeared from nowhere and the first person my eyes landed on was Aiden even though he was the last to arrive. They all look adorable but not as Alex. Well Aiden can pass for his competitor.

"hey everybody" we heard the Dj scream and everyone joined in the screaming, Alex and I werent left out, we screamed louder than the DJ. Lol.

"welcome to Lily Ivy High School Prom night party, well as you all know, some students graduated today and we are not just here to close for the section, we are also here to celebrate them and say good bye" we all screamed louder than before. "and to the soon to be alumni, I'll advice that you drop every character of pretence and have a hell of a fun tonight, cause babies after tonight, its all over, you aint gonna get this chance ever again. So boys and girls if you are with me, let me hear your screams shake this building"

"wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" we all screamed out.

"oh yea" he shouted when the screams ended. "enjoy the party and remember, have fun" he added before going back to the amp work.

"gush, I love him so much" I heard a girl scream from behind, we all laughed.

Alex tightened his hand on mine, he slowly turned to me and ask. "can I have this dance"

"now thats what I'm talking about" a guy screamed from behind and my sisters laughed including their boyfriends. I chuckled and nodded slightly.

I slipped my hand into his and Lola took a picture of us.

"Lola" I whined and she giggled.

"for memories baby" she replied.

Alex took me to the dance floor and did magic with us, I never knew he was such a great dancer.

After few minutes, Lola ran to us and dragged us out.

"hey love birds, enough of the dancing already, lets have some shuts" she screamed as she dragged us out towards the bar where the rest were sitting.

"what are you talking about, whats shuts, pictures?" I asked her, but she laughed and annoyingly Alex joined her.

When we got to the bar, she settled us down.

"8 well mixed scotch shuts please" she shouted at the barman.

When the drinks were served, they all took their glasses including Alex, Dude is just surprising me tonight.

"I never knew you drink Alex, are you sure you can take it?" Aiden asked him.

"oooooooooooh" the rest blasted, but Alex chuckled and smiled.

"and you call yourself my twin, but you know nothing about me, that you've never seen me drink alcohol before doesnt mean I cant take it twinny" he replied.

"nail on the head, it went deep" Titi cooed and Alex laughed, they joined him, I stared at him, trying so hard to get the joke but nothing came to my mind.

"am I missing something here" I asked them.

"of course you are baby sis, real big" Lola replied and they laughed again, I rolled my eyes at them.

Lola finally cleared her throat, ready to talk. "ok guys, I'm proposing a toast to a better future, a better college and a better friendship. Cheers"

"cheers", we screamed and clicked our glasses, like a flash, they all gulped down their drinks and I just froze as I watched mine.

"andra are you ok, why havent you drank yours" Titi asked, but I was sure she was only mocking me.

"Andi its ok, its not that terrible, just close your eyes and gulp it down in one sip ok" Alex advised, I nodded and did exactly as he said and I almost passed out when the drink got to my throat.

"God Its hot" I breathed out and shook my head vigorously to get back to my senses, Lola took another picture of me before screaming "everybody say prom night" they all gathered around and she took the selfie before I can even blink.

"hey, lets go and dance so that the drink can clear off" I heard Alex say. I nodded, he firmly took my hand and we walked to the dance floor.

I could confess the alcohol was wearing off as I danced, after few minutes I was completely fine.

"I'm good now" I screamed at Alex.

"are you sure" he asked and I nodded. He took my hand and walked me back to the bar.

"are you ok now?" Aiden asked me and I nodded without looking at him.

We all became awkwardly silent for a while.

Alexs phone beeped and he looked at it, he chuckled and turned to his brothers, they smirked at him and he shrugged and stood up.

"Andra I'll be right back" he said as he turned to walk out.

"where are you going" I asked him.

"to check out something, just stay put ok?" he stated and walked out of the hall. I turned back to the table with my head bent low.

"awwww, come on, dont be sad, he said he will come back" Jake stated.

"yea, he'll just be gone for a few minutes Jeremy backed up, I was tempted to ask them what it was about cause I was sure they smirked at him. But I decided against it, I dont want to look desperate.

"hey, I know what can cheer you up, I think we should use this opportunity to show you the surprise we've been planning for you" Lola chimed in.

"yea" Jenny and Titi backed up.

"ok" I smiled at them with a light shrug.

They clapped excitedly. Lola brought out a paper and handed it over to me,

"when you get out of this hall, find the place written in there, its In this hotel, just around it, your surprise is waiting for you there". She instructed

Why dont I have a good feeling about this? I had wanted to ask but I didnt want to appear ungrateful, and also, this is literally the first time my sisters are doing something for me, I cant ruin it cause of my fear.

I nodded at her and stood up.

"this is gonna be fun" I heard Jake say as I walked away from them.

"you knew about the surprise?" Aiden asked, the same thing I was thinking, is it that he knew about it.

"chill bro". Jeremy confronted him but their words were already fading away.

I got outside the hall and the merciless cold breeze hit my fragile skin, I shuddered, I only feel cold when something bad is about to happen, even if its winter time, I dont really catch a cold unless something is about to happen. I shrugged the fearful thought off and opened the paper.

'west wing private bar, behind the north building' the note states.

The north building is opposite the party hall but about a mile away from it. I ran to the building. I walked in and met a receptionist. I gave her the note and asked about the private bar.

"you either go outside and go around it or you go through the that passage over there which will lead you to the back door, go through the back door, then walk about 15 feet away from it, then turn south, the bar is right there". She instructed.

"thanks, I think I'm gonna take the back door" I stated and smiled at her, she smiled back.

"enjoy your stay ma'am" she replied with a little bow and I bowed back before walking out towards the passage.

I did as she instructed and like she said, the private bar was right there, you cant miss it.

But then it didnt look like a bar to me, it looked more like a planned romantic date.

A round table was set at the center of the open space, a candle stand stood erect on it with the candles beautifully lit. a bottle of wine stood near the bouquet of red roses which some of its pedals fell on the table, decorating it the more. Two chairs were purposely set opposite each other. I let out a little laughter.

"so these crazy girls wants to hook me up with a guy, did I tell them I wanted a boyfriend" I muttered to myself. but this is so beautiful I ran to the table and sniffed the flower, so lovely. I was about to unscrew the wine bottle to pour myself some when I heard movement behind me. I swiftly turned to know who it was, I saw a figure of a guy right behind one of the white curtains used in decorating the place. I wanted to ask who it was but I decided to keep quiet, maybe its the guy my sisters hooked me up with, I should just quietly get out of here before he sees me.

I picked up the wine and tried to sneak out when I heard his voice.

"listen, whoever you are, if my brothers hooked you up for me, girl I'll advice you forget it, I'm not gonna come out, so that you wont feel embarrassed or rejected, but you have few minutes to leave this place" he warned.

"Alex?" I mumble but it came out in a loud whisper.

"Andra" he called out, he flipped the curtain open and walked out. "what the..." he chuckled out and rubbed his face. "those motherfuckers"

"those sneaky rats" I chuckled too, referring to my sister.

Alex came closer and sat down. "were you about to steal the wine" he asked, and I realized I was still holding tightly to the wine.

"what.. no....no. why will I even....not, not at all" I stammered as I dropped the wine, he laughed and I joined him.

"why would they even do this" he asked when we stopped laughing.

"I have no idea, but I knew they were up to something" I replied.

"this is totally...." he raised his nose up and sniffed the air. "do you perceive that?" he asked.

"what"

"something, it smells like incense" he stated, and that was when I started perceiving the same thing.

And suddenly, a smoke-like mist started covering the place, it burned my eyes, I had to close them, I roamed my hands around to reach for Alex but I felt nothing.

The smell became unbearable and choking, but funny enough I wasn't choking instead I began to have a funny feeling, I began to feel rather h**ny, its weird but thats what I was feeling, it started burning too much, I had to call out to Alex, I was loosing my head, I was slowly slipping into unconsciousness, but the burning sensation was still there.

"Alex please come to me" I heard myself pleading in a whisper.

"Andra" I heard Alexs voice calling me softly.

"are they asleep?" I heard someone asking but I couldnt place who.

"just a few seconds, and they will wake up in few minutes yearning for each other" another person whom I assume to be a guy replied.

"And soon she'll be out of our lives"

"Perfect plan"

"they are trying to reach out to each other, this is funny as it is crazy" another person said and laughed.

And that was all I heard before I drifted into an uncontrollable sleep.

What has happened to me?
