Get Back To You 212 A Second Chance!

A lot of murmurs grew as the second song played with the Prom king and the queen, dancing with their respective partners.

"Is this for real?"

"Are Jamie and Derek a thing?"

"Derek, I thought the guy would clearly go with another nerd girl, but to s.n.a.t.c.h the school beauty, Jamie!"

"What's even more shocking is that Jamie is the one who asked out that guy."

"Jamie asked out Derek to be her partner?"

"I can't imagine a girl like Jamie to pursue a guy, and that too, he is a nerdy boy!"

"Did my eyes deceive me? Am I watching Derek dance with our Jamie?"

The comments kept on pa.s.sing from one to another. Nonetheless, amidst the commotion, the two couples danced splendidly with their partners. Josh became comfortable with Carmel by his side. Meanwhile, Jamie strived with her companion.

Jamie fought to maintain her confident look in front of the guy she carried feelings.

"It was pretty thoughtful of you to do a thing back there," Derek praised.

'Was he watching me?' – Jamie's heart pounded faster.

"Hmm…" she admitted.

Derek watches the girl melt in front of his presence.

"You sure are stubborn, aren't you?"

Diego studied Jamie.

"How long are you going to do this?" he asked.

Derek's words served a purpose.

Despite his cla.s.smates suspecting their relations.h.i.+p, no one knew what went in between the two.

**

Derek and Jamie's relations.h.i.+p goes a year back when both liked each other and thought about dating. However, there were incompatible at that time with their own interests becoming a hindrance to their love.

Within a few days of their relations.h.i.+p, the two argued many times, leading them to break up and go separate ways.

They thought that it was the right choice.

Only after breaking up did they both realize the affection they hold onto each other. Jamie was the first to regret breaking up, whereas Derek was still angry since it was he who confessed to her first.

Their relations.h.i.+p began and ended within a few weeks. Therefore, no one ever knew about the spark that arose between the two.

As a stranger, they both behaved while personally savoring the love they once held.

Jamie realized it sooner, making her not to miss the guy she truly cherishes. Her strong feelings for Derek helped overcome her ego, and thus she started to chase Derek, not wanting to regret by missing the perfect guy; for Jamie, Derek felt perfect.

Derek, at first, ignored all of her efforts with hatred. However, all those contempt began dissolving when the girl tenaciously declined every guy that approached her for prom, also her persistence in asking only Derek out as her date. Unable to avoid her or ignore any more of her request, Derek finally gave in to her wish and agreed.

…

When she got chosen as the prom queen, amid the cheering crowd, Jamie lost Derek, and even while standing on the stage, her eyes only sought for the guy, wis.h.i.+ng to see him.

The request to dance with Josh not only affected the prom king but Jamie too. She was looking forward to her first dance with Derek as a couple. She didn't hate Josh Ryder. Also, she saw Carmel standing in the crowd with her eyes affectionately staring at Josh, just like Jamie, who hoped to be with her loved one.

It is only after seeing Carmel in the crowd all alone, Jamie felt bad and soon came up with the idea to somehow bring her into the performance.

Standing afar and watching Josh and Carmel, Jamie realized how much of a mistake it was to fight and break up a beautiful relations.h.i.+p. She regretted breaking up with Derek. Just as she sulked solely, Derek slipped next to her.

**

Now dancing with Derek, Jamie wanted to cherish this moment forever.

"Are you still going to be like this?" Derek asked after waiting for the girl to respond to his previous questionings.

Jamie's gaze refused to meet Derek. She only nodded in response.

"Do you think that you can succeed?" he asked.

Jamie nodded.

"Do you think that I can accept you once again?"

Jamie nodded.

"Look at me, Jamie," he ordered.

Jamie hesitantly lifted her head to the point of only taking a glimpse at him. When she did, Derek removed one of his hands from holding her. He raised her face even higher to engage eye to eye.

Jamie's gaze, still radiantly sparkling from the first time he had met her. He found himself to get captured into her.

"Do you want to give us a second chance?" he asked sincerely.

All of the racing heartbeats suddenly became tranquil. Somehow Jamie felt at ease and confident with him staring into her.

"Of course, I ain't going to miss the guy I fell in love with," she responded.

With no exchange for words, Derek looked at her astoundingly.

His love for her that he secretly held gave him the faith he needed to believe in her.

"Alright, Ms. Jamie, I hope you succeed this time. Let's work hard together, okay?" he said by pressing their heads jointly.

His voice as refined as it could be and his grip, on the other hand, toughened to let the girl know that he is willing to give a second chance.

Jamie held the boy who appears to lose his poise. She supported him with her own strength.

"I will," she swore.

With the second song concludes, everyone around them seemed perplexed by their unusual bonding.

"That lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d, look at him being so close to Jamie."

"Why am I so jealous even when I clearly know that I don't stand a chance with Jamie?"

A few guys groaned to themselves.

As soon as the second song ended, Chester declared everyone to join in along with their partners to take up the dance floor.

Following his cue, the couples took over the limelight.

Ivy signaled the audio crew to stay playing the next song.
