ShArDs [chapter3: hearbreaks]

The annual dance party was nearing and Josh had wanted to take this chance to invite Camie as his dance partner. This time, he stood outside the classroom and waited for Camie.

As Camie strolled out of the classroom, she waved gracefully at Austin.

"Hi!" She said breathlessly.

"So how's your preparations coming up?" Austin asked with a wide grin that made Josh want to bash him up.

"Yea, great."

Noticing the strange look on Josh's face, Camie introduced him as her partner for the dance party. Hurt was written all over Josh's face. It was as if he had been hit by a hammer, his feet rooted firmly to the ground. He was dumbfounded.

"See you, Josh!" Camie smiled and left, leaving Josh all alone. There was Camie, walking beside Austin, the guy known for his good looks and results. Josh was left behind, lonely and pathetic.

Camie could not forget the hurt on Josh's face. She had heard rumors that Josh wanted her as his partner. Yet, she agreed to Austin's request. She had no choice, at least, that was what she thought.

Someone as popular as Josh, someone as great as him, i'm not fit to be with him... Once he know of my... once he know, i would avoid him. I know he would not forsake me, but i don't want to burden him.

Blasting music diffused throughout the spacious hall invaded by young teens dressed in their best. Floodlights shone brightly, creating the night party ambience. The speaker's voice filled the entire hall accompanied by the little hushes of the students.

Josh were with Kimmie, the popular cheerleader. He was looking around for any trace of Camie, yet in vain. Where is she? He thought.

As if answering his question, Camie stepped into the dance hall gracefully. Wearing a simple white tube dress with sequins belt around her waist, she was as beautiful as a swan. Her white heels went along perfectly with her dress, and Josh felt she looked utterly amazing. Her hair was done up neat and nice. Austin was dressed like a prince, but Josh felt sick upon seeing him. Jealousy explains all.

During the party, Josh were greatly troubled. Dancing right in front of him was Kimmie, and she was all that he could ask for. Yet, Camie kept appearing in his mind, capturing his every thought. He could not stop noticing Camie.

Josh tried, several times, to steal Camie away from Austin. He made up lame excuses like phone calls to disrupt their chatting. He would suddenly pop out of nowhere and request private times with Camie.

By chance, Josh managed to invite Camie to a slow dance. His spirits were lifted immediately. At that moment, time seemed to stop only for the two of them, as they stared deeply into each other's eyes. If only it would last...

Finally, he grabbed Camie by her hand and dragged her out of the hall.

"Hey! It hurts!" Camie exclaimed.

"Look at me! Look at me Camie." Josh held her firmly by her shoulders.

Camie calmed down and looked into Josh's pleading eyes.

"You know, I have to tell you this. I... I... just can't stand Austin. I mean... not when he's with you, talking to you, laughin with you, and... and all."

"You don't have to tell me these." Camie replied and turned in an attempt to walk off, wit her back facing Josh.

"I love you." Josh said softly.

Camie froze.

"I love you and can't stop thinking of you. You invade my every thought, my everything. I need you."

"I..." Camie stammered.

"Stop dreaming Josh. we can't be together."

Josh opened his mouth to protest.

Fighting against her tears, Camie stuttered, " Sorry, but, I... I..."

"I don't love you." With that, tears started welling up in her eyes as she ran off. She knew that she was lying, but she had no choice. She could only carry the regret with her for the rest of her life. It would be painful, but she was willing.

Meanwhile, Josh stood alone. He could almost hear the broken pieces of his heart when she said the four words. His heart aches, a lot. A drop of tear fell down to his chin as he clenched his fist to suppress the tears.
