Third POV eye

"I wanted to...explain everything about why I didn't apologize," Says Eliza putting her hands on her chest. Maria is skeptical.

"So why?" Asks Maria.

"Because....I find you...I know you're not going to believe me, but....it's because I find you are really pretty," Eliza says blushing. Maria's gaze changes to make room for confusion.

"Wh...what?" She asks, blushing.

"I...I could not speak because...I...I was captivated...by your pretty face," Eliza says blushing even more. Maria is surprised all the anger she had left. She blushes and looks away.

"Do you really think so?" She asks.

"Yes!" Says Eliza, noting that the music is getting louder and louder. Maria is really touched. She turns her head and gives a beautiful smile to Eliza. Eliza is shocked and thrilled at the same time. The smile is addressed to her is nobody else.

"Me too, I think you're beautiful," Says Maria. Looks like she's transformed. Eliza is a little lost in Maria's reaction.

"I...I also wanted to tell you something," Eliza says more embarrassed than before. Maria beckons her to continue.

"I love you," She says, looking away. Seeing that she doesn't hear anything, Eliza was about to cry until she felt arms around her. It's Maria who gives her a hug.

"I'd like to know you better before I tell you those words," Says Maria. Eliza is a little disappointed, but she nods to tell her that she understands.

The music becomes very slow.

"Another stupid slow dance," James says, wanting to die. Aaron extends his hand to ask him to dance James smiles and takes it.

"Do you want to give me this dance?" Asks Maria smiling. Eliza blushes and gives her a small smile. She gently puts her hand on Maria's, she takes it slowly. They dance gently together. Eliza is so happy. Maybe Maria will not like it, but at least she is in the arms of the pretty brunette.

Maria stopped. Eliza looks confused. She notices that she is staring at Aaron and James.

"Wow," She says. Aaron spins James quickly and repeatedly their steps are in sync. Almost everyone stopped to watch them.

"Aaron makes him turn so fast," She says impressed. Eliza pouted. Alex crosses arms angrily looking at them leaving his partner completely lost. Thomas claps his teeth and blushes with rage. He would like to be able to do that with James. Charles feels broken.

The music changes and becomes more rhythmic. Maria takes Eliza's hand and goes to Aaron.

"What was that? It was beautiful! " Says Maria, dancing. Aaron laughs and James blushes a little.

"We did some dancing before," Says Aaron.

"Ah! That's why? "Asks Maria. Aaron nods.

"But anyway James has the music in his skin," Aaron says. James laughs and gives him a nudge.

"What? That's right, " Says Aaron.

"Aaron, I think..." Maria says, waving to show Charles sitting drinking alcohol. Aaron feels guilty.

"You should go," Says Maria. Aaron hesitates, but nods. He approaches Charles and drives away Charles's glass.

"What are you doing?" Charles asks, trying to a take his glass. Aaron took him away as far as possible.

"Why are you drinking?" Asks Aaron. Angry Charles looks back. Aaron sighs and sits next to him.

"Charlie ..." Says Aaron.

"I..."

"I haven't drunk yet," Charles says, avoiding eye contact. Aaron sighs with relief.

"I...I love you Aaron, I'm not afraid to tell you. Since the first day that I saw you, I knew that I fell in love with you...But now I must avoid you because you love someone else, " Says Charles sadly.

"Charlie...we don't have to avoid each other," Aaron says, putting a hand on Charles's.

"We can stay friends. Charlie...you'll find better than me, "Aaron says. Charles grimaces.

The music is softer.

"Why a slow dance ?? !!!" Says James wanting the old music.

Aaron gets up and holds out his hand.

"Do you want to dance with me?" Asks Aaron. Charles looks at him.

Charles POV

His look is as sweet as the last time.

Flashback

Boys intimidated me every day.

"Asshole !!!" Says a boy, hitting my arm.

"Bastard !!!" Says another, hitting my stomach. A taller boy smiled at me before hitting my face. I collapse on the ground.

"Stop !!!" Says a boy with brown eyes.

"And what are you going to..." Before the guy can finish, the other one who does not seem to be part of their group hits him in the face. The boy falls to the ground.

"So ... who's next?" Asks the brown-eyed boy. The other courses followed by the last.

I am watching him. He looks at me and I flee my eyes. He approaches me, holding out his hand.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

Now

I shake my head. Aaron takes my hand and pulls it until I'm far enough away from my seat.

"Aaron, I don't w..."

"Charlie, just once. If you do not want to become friends with me again, let me at least dance with you this slow dance, " He says with a smile. I blush and get closer to him as if he disappears if I don't do it.

Flashback

"I'm stupid, of course you're not well," Says the mysterious boy. I take his hand and get up.

"Ouch!" I say. The boy catches me up so I don't fall.

"I am sorry. I'll take you in your home, but before I take you in my place, " Says the boy, putting me on my back. I'm blushing. I hold him so as not to fall from his back and at the same time I feel very close to him.

During the trip, we did not say anything, but I decided to start a conversation.

"Eh...thanks," I says softly.

"Mmmh?" The boy asks.

"Thank you for helping me," I says shyly.

"You're welcome," He says. This is the first time someone helps me. I smile and squeeze it a little harder.

I want to know more about him.

"Hey...what's your name?" I ask.

"Oh ! My name is..."
