Charlton chose not to escort any lady as he did not want to have his attention split elsewhere. When he entered the ball, the first thing he did was look for Serena. He wanted to see her since earlier, but Kylo insisted that they go together.
Kylo, much to his annoyance, took a longer time to prepare. He said that he wanted to look really good for his date. Thus, when they arrived at the lobby of the ladies' dormitory, it was already almost empty. Via looked vexed. She did not even give Kylo a single smile since they saw each other. Not even taking his hand when he offered. Well, he thought that it just served him right.
When his eyes met Serena's, he felt like the world suddenly stopped moving and he could not hear a sound. She was all he saw. She was there, looking straight at him, and she was more beautiful than he has even seen her. She was in a red gown and the necklace he gave her was adorning her neck. He walked towards where she was, and he saw her smile at him.
