Chapter 199 - Nine Years Ago (1/2)

”You must be very happy since you're now a Cinderella” The Sixteen years old Weiyoung said to Sara as they both strolled at night.

It was the same night after they both attended the dance class.

Weiyoung had followed Sara home as usual because she didn't want to stay home by herself since she was quite sure her parents wouldn't be around.

The entire day, she had been giving Sara an indifferent attitude. Not interested in whatever she was saying or giving a noncommittal response to her.

Weiyoung hadn't bothered to raise the issue when they were in Sara's Father's restaurant but she felt since Sara was seeing her off to where she would get a taxi, it was the best time to ask Sara to give it up.

”I'm so so happy.” Sara twirled around in her short gown.

”Did you see my Father's face when I told him about it? He must have been so proud because there's something I can do in school now. He has always been worried about my school life” Sara said excitedly before clinging onto Weiyoung.

”I hope I can also be a real life Cinderella one day like I've always wished for. How exciting would that be”

Weiyoung tried to pull away from her clinginess but Sara held her firmly.

”Sara.” Weiyoung called her gently.

”Hmm.. What is it?” Sara turned her head to look at Weiyoung who stopped walking.

”Don't do it. I mean the dance. Tell Leo you're not interested” Weiyoung ordered.

Sara looked at her in surprise and confusion before she slowly pulled her hands away from Weiyoung's.

”What do you mean? Why shouldn't I?” Sara asked in confusion.

Weiyoung looked at her angrily ”You said you were my friend. You came to this school because of me. So why can't you do something as simple as this? Or is it that you like Leo?” Weiyoung accused.

”No! How could you say something like that? I'm only doing this because it felt refreshing earlier and I liked the feeling”

Weiyoung scoffed at her statement before walking into a dark and empty alley by the corner.

”That's not the way... Where are you going to Wei?” Sara took hurried footsteps to catch up with Weiyoung and held her arm to stop her from moving further. ”Why are you going there?”

”I'm just strolling around. Go home!” Weiyoung said dismissively.

”I can't go home and leave you here. Let's leave here. It's too scary” Sara pleaded.

”I am sad and when I am sad, I do this....” Weiyoung opened her school bag and took out a pack of cigarette. You don't want me to be seen by people when I do this or do you?” Weiyoung cocked her head to the side and gave her a questioning look.

”What is this?” Sara widened her eyes in shock and forcefully snatched it from her ”How can you have this? What is a young girl like you doing with this?” Sara threw a string of questions at her. It really shocked her to see Weiyoung with something like that.

”Give it back!” Weiyoung demanded angrily and tried to take it from her but Sara refused. ”What do you want. Why are you doing this?” Sara asked pleadingly.

”I already told you. Tell Leo you don't want to do it and we'll continue being friends”

”Why are you being like this? I already told my father and even called my aunt. Does it make sense to just back out just because you do not like it?”
