Balls in the Baroque times were much better
Without including the fact that most of the time they were done in a big castle, there everyone was in the same status, granted the status was only the high class which includes the nobles, kings and queens, but it was still equal, their music was played by expert pianists and gigantic orchestras. and the most important: most of the time you always had someone to dance, never keeping you alone.
Stuff like this are not common in the modern era, most of the time the balls that exist are high school proms, and those include very noisy music which was heard through big speakers, and while there every economy class was able to enter, not everyone was treated equally, but minus those stuff, a prom like in high school doesnt sound to bad
Not to you however
Not only you had a very sour morning which included your parents having their daily argument about the most random of things you didn’t have the time to understand, now the prom which you waited for the entire year since for the first time, you finally had a date. however she has decided to ditch you.
many emotions and thoughts flowed through your mind as you were sitting in one of the benches near the entrance, and going home wasn’t an option due to not wanting to explain to your parents why you are going home early without your date.
honestly in your mind it was stupid to even think that one of the popular girls in school will ever agree to a date with you, it was so hard for you to finally get the courage to ask her out, now you could only just sit there, face down and not noticing a walking sound coming from the door as suddenly you could feel another person sitting on the bench.
as you looked up a bit to see who it was, you could notice it was a girl, wearing a white dress and shoes matching her color as her face which was suspiciously familiar to you was frowning.
“Oh wait, Its Kim Jiyeon” it finally came to your mind as you recalled where you’ve seen this face, you have never seen her like that since usually she was one of the nerdy girls in school, always wearing a hoodie to school, buried in her book, and now to see her in a white dress like she was some sort of princess, she was gorgeous.
“got ditched as well?” She asked, breaking the ice between, she scooted a bit closer, you looked toward her as she showed a weak smile as you returned it.
“you don’t even know” you reply to her, now fully sitting instead of the position you were in before “Nayeon actually ditched me as soon we entered the gym, she was like “ew, i just needed you as a ride, if you’ll excuse me i am going to go with people that actually deserve, ciao”, like come on” you added, trying to laugh at the whole situation as even Jiyeon giggled a bit.
“Cheerleaders am i right? oh and don’t even get me started on football jocks, thinking its SOOOOO Easy to play with a girl feeling like that” she said “like i was supposed to go out with Hyunjin the guy, and mid dance he actually just went to dance with another girl, as i just understood the hint and left.” you couldnt notice how stupidly you were giggling as suddenly the both of you find out how close you two are sitting next to each other, your thighs are almost touching each other, making her move back a bit, both of your face are pink
“So…are you staying here by any chance?” you can’t help yourself but ask, if the both of you got ditched by their prom date, why not do it together
“Uhh i don’t know why?” she replied with her own question.
“well…uhh i was planning to order some pizza, and i was maybe wondering if you would like to join me” you replied, showing a small grin.
~-~
“i can officially say: this is, the best pizza, i ever ate, im my whole damn life” Jiyeon said, one slice on her hand as this was the 2nd one she ate, you did order a big pizza just for the two and thorough that time you learned a lot about Jiyeon, or how she wanted you to call her: Bona, which you didnt really understand the meaning behind it, it just a name her mother used to call her, and decided to make it her nickname.
“i know right? i order from them like every weekend, and they are so good” you reply as you take another bite from your olive slice, the sounds of the prom were almost mute since your talk with each other had so much more focus. “wow to be honest, i cant believe we never got to talk like this before” you add, making her giggle
“yeah, like we were like classmates for like….4 years? not going to lie you are kind of a fun guy to hang around” Jiyeon, suddenly the both of you hear a song the two of you know very well, as you looked at her smiling when an idea popped in your head, making her very confused as you stood up
“You know…it seems that your prince didn’t show up to take you dance miss Bona” you say with an elegant voice as to try and copy the nobles in the Baroque times which result in the girl in front of you to giggle cutely.
“Oh my it does seem that way, will you be the knight to invite such a young mistress like me to dance?” she said, standing up as well, giving you her hand, your hands intertwine as you pull her close to you, her arms creep slowly to around your neck as yours go to her waist.
as the two of you start to dance slowly, your eyes couldn’t stop looking at hers, most of the time you met those they were covered by her glasses but seeing her like that, she was beautiful. “ where was she all this time?” you thought to yourself as her entire smile hypnotize you when suddenly she leans in closer to give you a small peck on your cheek.
She moves away as her face fully red from the blush. “i….haha oh god” she said as she just jumped onto you for a embrace “it seems that miss Bona is very excited to be with you” she replied in third person, your left hand brushes her hair away for her face in order to to feel her cheeks.
“I see, maybe miss Bona will be honored to meet me tomorrow in the theater to watch the new Spider-Man?” you ask, still acting your role
“Are you inviting me to watch Spider-Man together?” she reply, as you just nod, “Great, guess i will meet you then, but i really need to go, it was very fun” she replies as another peck goes to the other cheek, as she leaves your hug, taking her bag and leaving the place, leaving you standing there in shock.
“maybe this day wasn’t so bad” you thought to yourself as you just sat near your pizza, taking another munch and smiling to yourself.
