Keegan

new year's school ball.. sounds great.

let's go back 10 years.

since first grade, no one talked to you because they thought you were weird. Simply put, you were considered an outcast. You wanted to start talking to someone, to be friends, but they avoided you and laughed at you. Especially Keegan. Despite his young age, he was bigger than everyone else, and he offended you the most. You didn’t understand why, what did you do? And he just said that you were ugly.

present time

there was a ball at school before the New Year holidays. It was for 10th and 11th graders, and there was everything. From alcohol to various foods.

you were standing alone, somewhere in the center. You were wearing a beautiful evening dress that sparkled in the light of the lanterns. Your hair was lying on your shoulders in a beautiful style, and your face was painted with makeup that was both beautiful and light. You thought that no one would approach you, but no way.

Keegan was watching you somewhere near the table with alcohol, wondering whether to buy you a drink or not... to ask you to dance? But he always thought that you were a frump and a fool, but he was far from right. His friends teased him, telling him to come up to you and say something. He hissed at them, telling them they were idiots.

after ten minutes the slow dance music started. Some couples started dancing with each other right away, as well as different people. And you... you just stood alone somewhere to the side, watching all this. Keegan looked at you for a long time, thinking whether to go or not. He finally decided and slowly walked towards you through the people dancing together.
