Chapter 152 The School Dance

• The gymnasium was transformed into a magical wonderland for the school dance, twinkling lights strung from the ceiling, casting a soft glow over the room. The scent of freshly cut flowers mingled with the sweet aroma of punch and snacks. Music thrummed in the background, a mix of slow ballads and upbeat tracks that made the students sway and laugh.
• Aidan stood near the entrance, his eyes scanning the crowd. He tugged at the collar of his shirt, feeling slightly out of place in the formal attire. His usually unruly hair was combed back, revealing his striking features. His gaze finally landed on Emily, and his breath caught.
• Emily stood on the opposite side of the room, her back to him. She wore a simple yet elegant dress that hugged her figure and flowed gracefully as she moved. Her long hair, usually tied up in a bun, cascaded down her back in soft waves. She turned, and their eyes met. Aidan's heart skipped a beat.
