"What do you think the girls are doing right now?" Somadina randomly asked out of nowhere, still sprawled on the bed in just his boxer shorts. I stopped brushing my hair and turned away from the mirror to look at him, my brows raises in question. Mateo didn't even pay him any attention, face buried in his phone, typing away.

"Why are you so bothered about what the girls are doing, Soma?" I had to ask, watching at him as he turned on his tummy and squinted at me. He wasn't wearing his glasses so, I guess he really couldn't see me.

"I don't know?" He drawled out in a question like manner and shrugged. "I mean, make up? Hair do? Probably still having their bath..." He was rambling and I rolled my eyes, turning back to staring at my reflection and started combing my hair again.

"What exactly is wrong with you, this boy?" Mateo finally asked, stealing a glance at Soma for a minute and I chuckled when I saw Soma pout from the mirror, rolling on his side again, then turned on his back. It was obvious, Somadina is restless.

Why? I had absolutely no idea

"I'm sorry." He mumbled and I stopped to take a look at him again. Somadina apologizing wasn't new, yes. But in this context, it was weird because there was actually nothing to apologize about. "I'm actually nervous." He confessed and I exchanged a look with Mateo.

"Because of the dance?" I quickly guessed and he nodded. Mateo let out a sound of realization and nodded, before going back to staring at his phone.

"That makes a lot of sense. You should be nervous." He mumbled, looking up to smirk at Somadina whose mouth hung open in mock shock. I flashed Mateo a mild glare and he shrugged. "What? He seemed rather confident few days ago." He said and I scoffed, looking away from my curly haired idiot of a friend.

"Gee, Mateo. Thank you so much for your support." Soma stated with sarcasm dripping from his voice, rolling his eyes afterwards. Mateo gave him a mock thumbs up in return and I chuckled

"Honestly though," I started, looking at Somadina. "You are actually fine few days ago, you were really such of yourself. What changed?" I asked him.

"The fear of fucking this up for Vanessa." He answered and I nodded, understanding where he was coming from. Soma sighed and continued.

"She out so much effort in this thing, On G. She worked hard to make sure I got the steps, I mean, for once she wasn't exactly aggressive with me. She was very patient. It would be stupid of me if I let all of that, all her efforts go to waste but it makes me so nervous, thinking about it." He rambled. I walked away from the mirror and went to sit down beside him.

"It's okay to be nervous, Somadina." I told him and and he nodded. "Heck, I'm very sure Mateo that is making fun of you is just as nervous as you bare about his performance with Skye, if not more." I casted Mateo a look and he looked at me from his side eye.

"I am actually so agitated right now." Mateo confessed and Somadina chuckled. "Because I haven't dance in a long time. Dancing is one thing, singing is another, but doing both together and still keep your breath intact, is pretty difficult. So Somadina, trust me when I say you've got this. You honestly can't be as nervous as I am." He said and Soma nodded.

"It still doesn't hide the fact that TJ and Esosa are badass." Soma chipped and I cocked my head to side, not wanting to nod or say yes. He wasn't wrong.

"Did I hear my name?" TJ's voice filled the room as he walked in like he owned the place, fully dressed. I rolled my eyes when he plopped down on one for the beds. Khalil's bed.

Dude should better not let Khalil meet his bed scattered when he comes back to the room.

"What are you doing here, Tejiri?" Mateo asked, looking at the taller guy with a mock disdain.

"And you better get up from that bed. Khalil will have your head." I warned and laughed when he shot up from the bed like fire ants stung his behind. He quickly laid the bed sheet back and joined Somadina on his bed.

Baba dey fear.

"What are you doing here?" Mateo repeated his question and TJ looked at him and shrugged.

"Esosa is rooming with your babes and they will be coming down together. So, I figured I should come down with you guys." He explained and Mateo nodded.

"Speaking of the ladies," I started. "We should really get going downstairs. Somadina, please text Vanessa that will be down in a few so that they can hurry up whatever they are doing." I told him and he gave an OK sign with his finger as a response.

As we began to get ready, Khalil walked into the room. He had finished before anyone of us because of his duty as being part of the media committee. They had to set up everything, all the cameras and lights and sound systems for the night, so he had to be there earlier that the rest of us.

"Yo, what's up." I called out me and he casted me a brief glance and a small smile before rushing to his bag pack at the corner of his bed. I wondered what he was doing back.

"I forgot the camera lens." He answered my unasked question and I hummed in response. "I just I didn't forget it at home." He muttered more to himself than to me but I heard him any way. When he found it, his lips widened in a smile and he tossed it up and caught it effortlessly, then showed me.

"Found it." He said and I chuckled.

"I can see that." I answered and he chuckled, waving at me and made his way out of the room. I stopped what I was doing and stared at the door, feeling a push to go after him.

And I did.

"Hey, Khalil." I called when I got outside the room and saw him about to make a turn. He stopped and turned around, his forehead furrowed in question.

"What's up?" He asked and I went mute, the reason for me going after him and calling him still didn't register. So, I asked him the first thing that came to my mind.

"Are you taking anyone to prom tomorrow?" I asked and his brows quirked, his lips tugged in amusement.

"Do you want me to take you?" He teased and I laughed softly, jabbing my hand into the pocket of my jeans. He was throwing the awful prom-posal jab at me.

"Touchè." I muttered and he smirked.

"To answer your question though. No, I'm not taking anyone to prom tomorrow." He answered and it was my turn for my brows to be quirked in question. "I would be too busy, being in the media and all. I won't have any girls time if I took anyone to prom." He explained and I nodded in understanding.

Though, I knew the real he was in media and not taking anyone to prom.

He wanted to keep busy.

He needed to keep busy.

To stop himself from thinking about her too much.

"Are you good though?" I had to ask, just to make sure and he nodded, flashing a grin at me.

"Of course. Why won't I be." That was a rhetorical question but it made me feel some kind of way. It made me feel sorta protective of Khalil. Like, I should start looking out for him.

"Nah, nothing." I smiled. "We'll see in the hall, yeah?" He nodded in response before giving me a mock salute and walking off while I walked back to the room.

"Is he okay?" Mateo asked as soon as I walked in to the room and I sighed, watching as Somadina folded his costume inside a small back pack, all dressed up and TJ lying down on the bed with his phone in his hands. I looked back at Mateo who was waiting for me to answer

"He'll be okay." Was all I could say. Mateo's gaze lingered on me before he nodded and turned back to the mirror, all dressed and packing his hair in a man bun.

I walked to my bed and picked up my well laid black turtle neck, slipping it right on to fit on my body like a second skin. After wearing my kicks, I held my denim jacket in my hand and picked my phone, checking the time.

"We should get to the gate in a couple of minutes though." I announced and the boys hummed in response.

"Vanessa said the girls are about coming down. So we should go now." Somadina answered, standing up and slung his bag over his shoulder. TJ stood up too, picking his bag. Now, Mateo was the one we were waiting for.

"Guy. How many minutes will it take for you to pack that hair?" TJ asked and Mateo turned back, blue eyes peering at TJ.

"Do you know how many kind of hair products it takes for my hair to look this good?" He asked rhetorically, turning back to his reflexion. I groaned while Soma hissed.

"Guy! Hurry up!" I snapped and he murmured a "I'm coming, I'm coming" before giving a wink to his reflexion and picking up his bag.

"Oya, let's go. Sheesh."

We walked out of the room and locked the door carefully, making our way out of the Male Wing of the lodge. Guys were already trooping out one by one, even few of the ladies too. And from the looks of things, Mehn, people are going all out today o.

"See cloths! Jesus." Soma commented.

"If today is like this, just imagine how tomorrow will be like." Mateo chipped and I chuckled, feeding my eyes with all the attires that were passing in front of me.

"Uhmm... Guys..." TJ called and we turned to look at him. "The girls." He pointed towards the entrance and we all looked, our eyes feasting on them.

And immediately, our brains went on full lock down.

"God have mercy!" Somadina muttered beside me, barely audible that I hardly heard. My eyes didn't leave them,

Or her.

"Father in heaven!" Mateo breathed out, this time audible enough for everyone to hear. The guys walking around the entrance had stopped to stare as well, not able to take their eyes off the girls and I honestly didnt blame them at all. They were all permitted to look, just for tonight.

I saw them smirk as they made their way down the staircase that led to the entrance. They knew the kind of commotion they were causing. They knew they looked like literal fire, practically burning the entire building down with their flaming aura.

My eyes met hers and my heart skipped three beats; yes, I counted, when she looked at me through her naturally thick lashes, a small smile stretching her across her glossed lips, lips I couldn't wait to kiss all night. I felt my heart beat become extremely erratic as they got closer, as she got closer...

Holy Macaroni, Mother of all Cheese balls...

She is Fine!

☆☆☆☆

I couldn't stop staring at her.

We were all walking to the hall, where faint music was coming from. The others had already gone ahead of us, leaving Elyon and I behind. After the literal grand entrance, all of us guys were a mess. Mateo couldn't say a full sentence without jumbling his words together and sounding like a complete moron, Somadina wouldn't keep his hands to himself and Me, I just wouldn't stop staring for one damn second.

Like I was doing right now.

Like a total creep.

"...and I'm going to stuff my tummy today, Jamal are you even listening to me?" Her voice jerked through my reverie and I blinked.

"Hmmmn?" I mumbled absent mindedly, finally looking at her like I didn't want to devour her.

That came out wrong.

Elyon smirked at me, raising her eyebrows quizzingly.

"Am I boring you?" She asked and I quickly shook my head.

"On the contrary." My eyes involuntarily moved the length of her body again, my tongue coming out to lick my lips slowly as my voice dropped several octaves lower. "I cannot take my eyes off you. You look... Damn, Elyon." I growled out huskily, my eyes coming back up to meet hers. Her lower lip was between her teeth now and I gulped.

She was teasing me.

"That was the idea. I don't want you looking at another girl." She winked and unlatched her arm from mine, walking further while I stood there like a mannequin, staring at her.

"So you are intentionally trying to seduce me?" I asked and she stopped, throwing her head to the back to peer at me, her hair swaying in the process..

"I won't say it's seduction, Jamal. Stop being melodramatic." She answered with a smile, stretching her hand for me to take it. I chuckled and walked up to meet her, taking her hand in mine and lacing our fingers together.

Taking our locked hands to my lips, I looked at her and whispered, "You look heavenly." Before pressing a kiss to the back of her palm. She thawed, her smirk breaking it a wide shy grin as she looked away from my gaze to look at the floor. I tugged her and we continued to walk towards the hall, along with several of our class mates.

She was very chic, very simple. Yet, she still managed to turn the head of most of the guys walking around us. I didn't need anyone to tell me because I knew they were looking. Elyon was perfect, too perfect, so flawless and I wasn't just talking about her beauty; on the inside as well.

And she chose me.

Of all people.

Jamal, you lucky bastard.

We got to the entrance of the hall and marched right in, the loud music filling out ears. Our eyes widened in awe as we took to our surroundings. The hall looked different, good different. It was beautiful. Whoever Esosa had given this job did an amazing work. It looked like we were at a first class elite wedding reception

"This place looks badass!" Elyon whispered to me and I nodded in agreement.

"No arguments!" I answered.

"Yo guys! Over here." I heard Mateo call to us and we looked towards the direction to see them settled on one of the round tables. Elyon and I walked towards them and took a seat. Soon, the hall began to fill up gradually.

"Mehn, who ever decorated this hall, God will bless them." Mateo commented and the rest of us mumbled a reply of agreement. I honestly still couldn't get over how over the top beautiful the hall was.

"How is the program going to work though?" Vanessa asked Skye because she most definitely knew everything we'd be doing today.

"We have a lot of things planned for today. Denola and Kathleen have everything they need on the agenda list. You would be surprised at the number of people that wrote their names down for one performance or the other." She explained.

"When is the couple's dance off coming up?" Somadina asked.

"I think that's what we'll use to finish the night off, so it's definitely the last event of the day." She answered.

"Mehn, this night would be lit!" I said, excitement laced in my voice and the others let out a sound of excitement as they agreed with me.

This will definitely be one of the best nights of our lives.

The night started with Denola and Kathleen taking their positions as the hosts of the night, the performances kicking off with the Duet category. I was ultimately shocked to see two of my set mates, Samuel and Kamsi, guys I knew never opened their mouths to sing praise and worship on assembly, sing with so much vigor and passion on stage.

And they had really amazing voices.

Will God be happy with these ones bayii.

Elyon, Skye and Vanessa had gone back stage to get Skye ready for her performance with Mateo, who was by the way still sitting between Somadina and I. Skye's early absence was majorly because her make up was going to take more time. Only heaven knows what she'd be doing with Mateo on that stage.

They had better not try Nonsense. I said to myself as I turned to Mateo on impulse to give him a stink eye. He noticed this and rose his eyebrows in question.

"Guy, Why you con dey do your face like that? You wan shit?" He teased, his lips quirking in a lopsided grin at his own joke. When he noticed I wasn't smiling at, he stopped smiling.

"What are you going to be doing with my sister on stage?" I fired and he threw his head back, laughter escaping his lips. "Tell me what your performance is all about." I prooded further and he chuckled, looking at like I had gone bananas.

"So that's what has been eating you up." He stated, still looking at me in amusement while I flashed him an exaggerated glare. "Whatever me and Skye are going to do, you'll see it on stage." Was all he said and  I frowned at him.

"No funny business oo!" I warned him and he chuckled again.

"Yes sir." He gave a mock salute and we both turned back to look at the last set of duet performers finishing off their song. Somadina had not even even paid attention to what Mateo and I were saying. His eyes were glued to the stage, while he stuffed his face with snacks.

And this boy is going to dance like this.

A round of applause rang out as the last set left the stage and Denola made his way back up the podium.

"You'd agree with me that so far, the performances are outstanding! But it's not over yet. We are about to crank this party up a notch by bringing in group dance performances. Tighten your seat belts guys..."

"There is no seatbelt on this chair oo!" Someone suddenly shouted, cutting Denola off and everything bursted into fits of laughter.

"Oya issorite." Denola drawled between laughter. "Sha get ready to have your socks blown off as we welcome the Euphoria dance team."

The crowd went wild just as the stage light became dim. The Euphoria dance team was a dance group of our set girls and they have been existing since JSS3. They were headed by Esosa, though I'd didn't know if Esosa was going to dance with them due to the fact that she was already in the couples dance.

With the darkness around the hall and the only source of light were the dim ones coming from the stage, I saw the movement on the stage and I was sure everyone did too. The entire hall was quiet, everyone holding their breaths for what Euphoria was going to do, how they were going to blow our minds.

Almost immediately, the intro "Power by little mix" started and the lights came on, revealing the dancers on stage. Everyone began to scream. It was even TJ's constant yelling "That's my baby" that made me notice that Esosa was on stage with her dancers, taking the lead as always. The dance began and everyone was on their feet, screaming, giving cat calls and capturing the moments on their phones. The girls were giving their hall, especially Esosa when it got to the rap. If the crowd was loud before, they got even louder when she began to twerk.

"Well damn!" Somadina hollered beside me and I roared in laughter. He should thank his stars that Vanessa isn't here with us.

All too soon, the dance finished and the crowd couldn't contain their excitement; screaming, cat calling on top of their voices as the girls made it off the stage. Even when Denola came back up, the noise had not died down yet.

"Mehn, if they were just the opening act the dance performances, I don't want to miss every single dance after." Mateo stated and I nodded my head vigorously in agreement.

The night has just begun!

𝔼𝕃𝕐𝕆ℕ

"Gosh, I'm so nervous." Skye said for the umpteenth time, taking the chinese hand fan to fan herself so that her make up won't run. I took the make up brush and applied a little bit more powder for her. Her blood lips were still intact, we decided to keep it that way because it would make her pop, especially with her costume.

We were in the dressing room back stage along with other performers for the night. The dance performances has ended a while ago and at the moment, they were doing group song renditions, after which would be couples singing competition. Mateo and Skye were the last on the list so we still had some time to get prepared. Besides, Mateo is supposed to meet us here any moment from now.

"Okay, I gotta hand it to you Skye. You went all out on this one." Vanessa complimented, look at Skye's costume with her mouth hung open. Skye smiled in return.

"It was all Mateo's idea to go full Latino on this one." She told us. "I had my mum pick out this dress for me a while back. Do you think it's a little too much? I told Mateo it was a little too much." She rambled and I corked my head at her, my eyebrows quirked in amusement.

Skye was wearing short black open back spandex dress with a lot of rinestones making it shimmer. The sleeves were long to her wrist. She also wore a skin coloured pantyhose with rinestones on some parts that made it look like she bedazzled her legs. Her four inches heels were at the side because she wasn't ready to wear them. She had removed her wig and we decided to style her hair, the upper part in a pony tail left to fall with the lower part that wasn't packed, her hair falling down her shoulders in waves.

Giving the type of dance she was dancing and the fact that it was a competition, her look wasn't over the top, it was perfect.

"Girl, you look perfect. The competition has got nothing on you." I told her and she took a deep breath before her lips stretched into a smile, looking at her reflection in the mirror and muttering I've got this. The group singing competition ended and it was soon time for the dance competition. Looking at my phone for the time, I knew we'd all be here past midnight and honestly, it would be dope as hell.

Skye, Vanessa and I stood up to watch the couples in the singing competition and as we kept watching to the forth couple, we realized that even though they had some sort of spontaneity in their performances, none of them danced and that made Skye feel more relaxed about her performance with Mateo.

"Oh my God." We heard a gasp from behind and turned around to see Mateo, Soma and Jamal standing few feet away from us, Mateo's eyes glued on Skye while his mouth hung open like someone about to catch a fly. Jamal's expression was another thing entirely. He looked out of the world shocked.

"What. Are. You. Wearing?!" He whisper-yelled, his eyes almost bulgding out of their sockets. Skye scoffed and rolled her eyes, not giving up him a reply. Her attention went back to Mateo that had not moved from his spot, his eyes still on Skye.

"It's not too much?" She asked him, twirling to give him a better look at her outfit and her look.

"Too much?" He repeated her question incredulously like he didn't just hear her say it, then started working towards he, cupping her face in his hands when he got to her. "You are perfect, babe." He whispered, pressing a kiss to her forehead then another to her lips. I quickly ran to where Jamal was and pressed a hand to his chest to stop him from matching towards them.

"Give them a break na!" I chided and he gave me a mock glare.

"With her dressed that way?! Hell no! If I'm not careful, he'll tear it off her." He rambled in exaggerated worry and I couldn't help but laugh at his antics. Somadina and Vanessa had gone off to a corner to talk about their own performance. The room was rather scanty and with how large it was, our corner was empty.

"Give it a rest Jamal." Skye said from behind me and I turned to look at her. Mateo had his arms around her and that was when I noticed his look. Simple black shirt with a rolled up sleeve, black trouser, sneakers with his hair in a man bun. He had even loosened three of his shirt buttons, revealing his chest. He looked sexy, extremely sexy.

"Why are you in that dress!" Jamal repeated and Skye rolled her eyes again.

"Mummy bought it for me."

"It's a lie!"

"Oya call her and find out! Do it!" Skye challenged and there was silence, everyone watching Jamal to see if he'd do it. But he just stared at his sister and sighed.

"No funny business!" He wagged a warning finger at both and Mateo scoffed.

"You cannur do nada." He stated. Jamal was about to lunge at Mateo when Denola announced that it was time for him and Skye to come on stage.

"Wish us luck." Skye sang out as Mateo pulled her up the stage, the light going off. I looked at Jamal and saw him pouting.

"Stop being such a big baby. You don't see Venus complaining when you are with me." I teased and he murmured some incoherent words in reply before going behind me and wrapping his hands around my waist, hugging me from behind. I chuckled, leaning into his touch.

We both moved to watch Skye and Mateo's dance. I didn't know the song they'd be using so I was hoping to be surprised, especially with Mateo saying he is embarrassing his full Spanish heritage. From the dim lights on the stage, all I could see was a silhouette of Mateo sitting on a chair and Skye standing behind him. Everyone was quiet, waiting for their song to start. I held my breath for them, waiting for them to blow me away.

Suddenly, the Instrumentals of "Reggaeton Lento by Little Mix and CNCO" started and all the girls starter screaming on top of their lungs. My mouth hung open in shock because I honestly didn't expect that song. The song was an intense one and putting a choreography to it meant you had to be intense with your partner. With the kind of Chemistry Skye and Mateo had, it wasn't going to be a problem.

The problem was the big guy hugging me right now. He will most definitely tear his hairs off.

Skye moved sensually around the chair, her hands moving across his shoulder. Mateo's eyes stayed glued on hers as she started singing, her voice strong and powerful, it shook me.

🎶Boy, I can see the way you dancing, move that body

🎶I know it's crazy, but I feel like you could be the one I've been chasing in my dreams

🎶Boy, I can see you're looking at me like you want it

🎶Usually I'm like, "whatever"

🎶But tonight, the way you moving got me with my mind

Skye was going to take her hand off his body as she finished her solo but like they already planned it as part of the dance, Mateo got hold of her hand before she could walk away farther from his chair and pulled her just has he started his own part of the song. 

🎶It started when I looked in her eyes (Their intense eye contact gave me goosebumps at this point.)

🎶I got close and I'm like "Bailemos", eh!

Mateo legit pulled Skye close to him, his hands on her hips while she threw her hands behind her, locking them around Mateo's neck as they rocked against each other. The entire building to erupt in cheers. I screamed, jumping from Jamal's hands as I stared at two of my closest friends being super sleezy and sensual on stage. I heard Jamal mutter something like I'm going to murder his guy.

🎶La noche está para un reggaetón lento

🎶De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo

🎶Yo sólo la miré y me gustó

🎶Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos, eh?"

🎶So now we dancing un reggaetón lento

🎶Just get a little closer, baby let go

Let's not even get started on Mateo's Spanish. Damn! I was literally feeling hot. It was honestly the highlight of the entire performance, safe for their dance steps that just wouldn't stop getting steamier. Mateo's voice sounded like sex, it's not good to lie so sue me for telling the truth.

By the time they were done with the entire song, finishing off with an intense close body contact, face so close to each other, if the moved a breath, they'd kiss. Yes, it was that intense. The room was filled with cheers, louder than any other performance that had come up tonight. It was official.

Skye and Mateo won the Couple's Singing competition. No arguments.

Jamal and I quickly went back to the dressing room, just in time to see Skye and Mateo walk in, or rather, Mateo walking in carrying Skye in a bridal style, Somadina and Vanessa behind them. But before anyone could even make a comment about how spectacular they were, Jamal growled

"I'm going to kill you." And dashed off towards Mateo who screamed and started to run too. Skye also dashed off behind them, screaming at Jamal not to hurt her boyfriend. Somadina, Nessa and I looked at each other before bursting into fits of laughter.

I really hope Mateo survives that.

☆☆☆☆

The night didn't stop getting better and better. Some guys from the commercial class decided to mimic some of our teachers and even the principal and it was so hilarious. Some acted drama, all comedy that had us rolling off our seats in laughter. Everything was just prefect.

It was almost midnight, the moment probably every single Limelight Trojan had been waiting for.

Couples Dance Off!

Somadina and Vanessa had gone to get ready while everyone arranged all the seats in circle, leaving the middle bare for the dancers. The competition was between Esosa-Tejiri and Vanessa-Somadina. Skye had pulled a few strings so that Vanessa and Soma could go after Esosa and TJ. I was honestly nervous for Nessa and Soma and I really wanted them to win.

I really hope they did.

Esosa and TJ came out first, dancing to an American song I wasn't really familiar with, but trust these couple to set the dance floor of fire with their moves. They moved in sync, moved in perfect harmony. The crowd was already routing for them. But in as much as I loved their dance, I will still rout for my guys. I just hoped they won't disappoint me.

"That was a wonder performance by Esosa and TJ! Mehn, I was feeling the heat from here o, I don't know about you." Denola was commentating and everyone laughed. "But let's see if our next couple have what it takes to beat Esosa and TJ. Give it up for Somadina and Vanessa!" He called and everything cheered. I held my breath.

"I really hope Soma doesn't mess this up." Mateo muttered behind me and I saw Skye chide him. I looked back to the dance floor, the cheers dying down as we waiting for their song to begin, or for them to come out

On cue, Joeboy's "Nobody" began to play and Somadina made his way out, swaggering into the floor with two other guys behind him. He was dressed in a suit, like all full tuxedo. He looked amazing and he looked confident. Then when the song started and he began to dance, I screamed.

🎶Nkan to ba fe, lo ma get se ko ma lo be (Awo)

🎶Body on je, je, je

🎶Atarodo, omo you dey pepper dem ah ah

Somadina can dance! Somadina can dance fire!

"Who said Somadina couldn't dance please!" I screamed, my eyes not leaving Somadina who was slaying on the floor. I didn't miss the look of shock on Mateo, Skye and Jamal's face as they watched their friend steal the entire show.

When the part of "Toyin Tomato, causing Gobe o" started, that was when Vanessa came out cat working pass the boys, Somadina's eyes following her every move as he licked his lips and brought his hands to his head. It was then I realized that it was more of a dance drama and that just made it even better. From what I could see, it was like Somadina's character wanted to toast Vanessa's character and she wasn't giving him face. He then looked at his friends who gave him a go ahead and then he made his move when the chorus of the song started.

Everyone was on their feet, capturing every moment of the dance, even me. It was so comical, so funny and still filled with so much talent. From the way Vanessa and Soma were grinning from ear to ear as they danced, it was so obvious that they were enjoying themselves, especially Soma. The energy he was giving into the dance was just out of this world and that was all that mattered honestly. So far they enjoyed themselves, nothing else mattered not even being the winner.

But they won it.

Somadina and Vanessa Won the couple's dance competition.

☆☆☆☆

All the performances ended and we all decided to take a small moment to reminisce on our moments in final year. We arranged all our chairs in a perfect circle so that we could see each other. Somadina took the floor as the head boy of our set.

"This year has been one hell of a year. We had a lot of ups and downs, probably more of downs because we lost two of our class mates. Simi and ehm, Tolani..." He paused, a sad smile marrying his lips. I noticed that Jamal wasn't looking at Somadina. He was looking at Khalil who was at an extreme side of the circle. Though he was far away, I noticed his countenance change at the mention of Tolani's name.

It was then I realized, Khalil hasn't completely healed for everything that happened. The road to his healing seemed quite rocky and my heart went out to him.

Oh Khalil...

"All I want to tell us is that, every single moment counts. Good or Bad, they are going to be remembered for a very long time. Which is why we strive to make our final moments are so memorable, we won't be able to forget it in a long while. These amazing memories that we keep, they will keep us going. Hold on to them tight, guys. Hold unto them." Somadina said and there was a pin drop silence as everyone digested everything he just told us. Jamal took my had and laced her fingers together and I looked at him, smiling at him.

These moments, they will keep us going.

I was shocked when the song "Dreams by Phil Beaudreau" escaped my lips.

🎶The dreams that we keep

🎶They keep us going

🎶When the trials that we meet

🎶Steal our hopes

Someone else took the song from another end of the circle, and everyone suddenly began to join their hands together, humming the song.

🎶Lift your eyes and you'll see

🎶Life's just a journey

🎶A path if you seek

🎶It will find you

This chapter is so nostalgic Mehn. Made me remember when my set mates an I went into full music making mode few days to Graduation. We all composed song, sang songs, cried. It was a bittersweet moment.😪😪
