Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess Chapter 183 - 181: Soiree Blanche I

Chapter 183 - 181: Soiree Blanche I

The girls were in Serena's room, they just had dinner and were preparing for the Soiree Blanche. They all agreed to attend it together rather than have an escort.
"I think us attending together is actually better than having my brother escort me. This way, he can't keep tabs on me!" Gizel shared with a grin as she looked at herself in the mirror. The white dress Serena altered for her fitted beautifully.
"Yeah, though it's a pity since the event will be perfect for a date. I imagine that it would be quite festive later." Milly said dreamily.
"Yeah, though I wonder if some people would still be in a celebratory mood. It's a pity that Leonard's team lost. However, I can't help but admire Geoffrey. He's really good. I didn't understand a lot, but I was able to see that he was like a one- man team yet still managed to make his team win." Gizel commented.
"Yes, I guess polo is truly his strong point. I think the one who took it hard is Kylo. I kinda feel bad for him. Did you see his sullen face when he realized that Geoffrey made the goal?" Milly asked looking at Via.
Via just shook her head. "The game was really well played. No matter which team won, I think both sides would be able to accept it."
Then they all looked at Serena who was still in her robe.
Serena feeling their eyes on her turned to face them.
"What?"
The girls all laughed.
"Honestly, Serena, you look like you're the one who lost the match." Milly stated.
"Yeah, you have been staring into space since the match ended. We're all dressed up now, and you didn't even notice. Are you okay?" Gizel asked.
Serena shook her head and smiled. "I'm sorry. I'll get changed now."
"It's alright. Take your time." Via said, understanding that she must be feeling down because of the match result.
Actually, Serena was just trying to decipher which erotic fantasy of hers should come to life later. She was also thinking of changing their venue as doing it in the music room was getting old. Anyway, those things can wait. The best thing to do now is to figure how she can get him alone.

When Serena and the girls arrived at the event, it was already 8:30 in the evening. They entered the big tent where in the middle was a cocktail pyramid and surrounding it were cocktail tables. Not a lot of people were inside as most of them were out in the field.
As people would filter in and out of the tent to grab some drinks and some light snacks, the fence separating the audience from the field earlier has been removed.
Although it was evening, it was easy to see everyone as they were all wearing white. Aside from that, the night sky was filled with stars, there was a blazing bonfire in the middle of the field, and there were strings of yellow light bulbs set up at the surrounding area providing enough lighting. In the background, some lively music can be heard through the speakers.
Anyway, they walked to the field to join the other students.
"Hi Serena, Milly, Via and Gizel, you guys are just on time. The principal has just finished speaking about whatever and the opening dance is about to begin." Cornelia, one of her classmates said.
"Yeah, by the way, Serena, uhm… can you by chance, please introduce us to your brother?" another classmate of theirs, asked.
"Sorry guys, her brother Leonard has already been spoken for." Gizel interrupted with a grin.
"I can, but I'm not sure where he is right now." Serena responded with a smile.
Then, they heard Diether's voice through the speakers, "Good evening again everyone. So, are you ready to get this party started!?"
People started cheering.
"I can't hear you!!!!" Diether goaded.
"YEAHHHHH!!!!" People shouted while lifting their glasses as if making a toast.
"Alright! Let's get this party started! Now, what can a party be without the dancing? Orchestra D, hit it." Then the introductory notes of the Schiarazula Marazula started to play.
Serena almost wanted to guffaw. Really, the way Diether said it, it's like if he's in the modern world, it would have been DJ, hit it. Then, the funnier thing was the song. Really, she wanted to roll on the floor laughing. A music upgrade is really a must. But then again, a traditional song fits a traditional dance. When she heard dancing, she had a different kind of dancing in mind. Not Circle dances or country dances she knew they will surely be dancing.
Anyway, hearing the first song, the students all became excited as they started to form a big circle around the bonfire.
"Oooh!!!! It's the Carole. Let's join in!" Milly suggested.
Serena did not get the chance to look for Charlton first as she was pulled by her friends. The carole was a social group dance which does not require mix gender. So, they all stood next to each other linking their hands.
When the marazula song reached a certain part, everyone started moving to the left, then to the right, forward and clap their hands. Then back again. Making a turn and back again. Everything was done slowly at first, then it went faster as the beat of the music became livelier. It was a truly spectacular imitation of the medieval dance.

When Charlton saw Serena enter the field with her friends his jaw almost hit the ground. Her long hair was hanging freely in soft waves and she was wearing an off-shoulder white dress with fitted bodice and flowing skirt that reached only up to her knees. He wanted nothing more than to approach her and well, leave this party already.
However, her classmates reached her first. So, not wanting to be rude, he did not interrupt their conversation and took on observing her from the sidelines.
Then, Diether's voice sounded from the speakers to announce that the Mazarula will be playing. He saw her friends pull her to dance with them.
He smiled feeling happy as he saw her joy when she laughed as she danced the carole with her friends.
When the song ended, he heard the Sellinger's round start to play. He started to approach her wanting to be her partner for that song so they can leave the party early. However, when he was about 5 steps from her, a hand stopped him.
