*Seohyun's PoV*

Its been a rough week, I just want this to be over and done with... I mean who doesn't right? Anyone in my position would probably want to end it... And for the last time,I looked at myself in the mirror and placed a smile on my face. I twirled around three times like in those princess movies with my eyes closed, took a deep breathe and sighed. I saw my dad's reflection on the mirror. He was wearing a matching tie for my mint green empire cut gown, and of course, his camera.... 

"There goes my little princess... all grown up"He approached me and placed one more tiny detail to what I'm wearing. He took a necklace in his pocket and placed it around my neck. 

"this is your moms... now its yours" I smiled in the reflection and faced dad, all of a sudden, his eyes were all so teary, tho he wiped it off away quickly. He chuckled a bit as he escorted me downstairs where Kai and Kris was waiting... and to be completley honest with myself since I'm completley dying tonight, there's no doubt in that... I was hoping that Luhan would be here too... 

but seeing how things turned out to be? How I behaved badly when I had the chance to talk to him? I-I guess that was just it, and maybe its better off that way, maybe he'd be less hurt that way... 

Dad took pictures of us first before he let us off, but knowing dad... he has his way to the senior night... and besides, he wont dress up like that for nothing. I'll probably miss this house, its been my safe haven for years, knowing that soon enough I wont be living here. It's funny remembering the first day I stepped out of our house again for three long years... how dad bargained with the whole one month deal, and how that one month deal of going to school changed everything. How I happen to meet SNSD, EXO... and of course Luhan. 

That whole month has been a whole roller coaster trip, a month full of ups and downs, lefts and rights... How I didn't want to end it... 4 days ago, I was stuck at a four cornered white room with no signs of hope appearing, and in those days, I just want to get out and live my life like I did in one month... but who was I kidding? Life isn't to be lived by someone like me, life should be for people more deserving than I am... people like Luhan, he has a dream, that passion that I have never seen in anyone, not in kai, or kris, or anyone I know, or even people I dont. 

"and we are here... your royal highness" Kris parked his car while Kai and I waited for him. We marched at the school's event centre where the Senior night will be held, It was arranged miraculously... like those fairytales in storybooks. 

"I heard your dad donated a lot of cash in here..." Kai whispered to my ear. I just smiled and-- does this always have to happen to often? I mean, I get it okay, My time is limited. but... 

"are you okay? I can see your paleness... even with make up applied on your face" he said, and once again I smiled... you cant blame the girl, its the only thing I can, smile while I still can... 

"I am, haha, quit worrying over me Kai, go have some fun. I'll stay here with Kris" he refused to leave and stayed with there along with Kris, until the senior night started in a couple of minutes, They started it with some boring speech by our dean mr. kwon. It was pretty short and precise, and after that the fun began... more like, their fun began... as for me, kai and kris, we're just watching by the sidelines, watching people go mad and wild... its like they all hit up drugs or something, they were all high, living their lives... 

"you two should go... I'll just sit in here, I mean... im really okay, I actually want to have some time with my self" The two of them looked at me with pain in their eyes 

"were staying... besides, its not really fun, psh" Kris said as he rolled his eyes at me... that was the cutest thing i'd seen on this night so far. 

"KRIS! KAAIIII JOIN THE PARTEEEEH! YOURE MISSING THE F-U-N!" kyungsoo said making his eyes bulged a little bit more, The two looked at me as if asking for permission. Smiled and nodded at them. At first they hesitated, but after minutes of convincing them to join the others... I finally won! pheew... that was some real work, but seeing them having fun... is quite fun too... I'm going to miss those smiles after tonight... 

"Somebody's being a loner" I heard yoona's voice from behind, turned my back and saw her standing before me, looking beautiful as always

"Hey..." I greeted her 

"Hi, I'm princess yoona... and you- You must be cinderella" I laughed a bit on how she curtsied ans smiled, I can see the tears forming up her eyes... we may be, archrivals-sort of... but I'm glad that I was also able to meet someone like her...

"how can I be Cinderella... you must have get the wrong person princess yoona" 

"We both know the reason Cinderella... now do me a favor and meet me by the feild, I'll be waiting" 

"This isn't some sabbotage right? haha, Kidding... sure, I'll be-- where'd she go?" she just disappeared into the crowd, then I guess it's my cue to go follow her by the feild

The hallways were locked... for a reason that Mr. Kwon dropped during his opening remark, which is someone would have make a miracle along the hallways, if you get what I mean. moving forward, I made my way into the feild, it was all lit up in lights... the cold breeze touched the bare skin of my back as I stood there... in the middle and Yoona wasn't there... okay, it seems to be that I was set up in some kind of prank

"Yoona? is that you?" I felt my heartbeat skipped a beat from that moment, hearing a voice that echoed across the feild. I slowly turned my back to see a guy sitting on a wheelchair making his way to me. 

"oh, its actually Seohyun..." Luhan was holdong a ball, a football to be exact on his hand. He slightly tossed the ball into the thick air several times before he looked at me

"I see... yoona made you come here too... I have an idea, why don't we play a game..." i arched my eyebrow and eye him, Luhan... be never cease to amuse me, but with all this dress and suit and of course a wheel chair, what kind of game are we supposed to play 

"alright, so what's the catch Luhan?" he then smiled and tossed me the football

"nothing, there's no catch, and first rule no one touching the ball, we'll be playing football" 

"thats impossible, youre on a wheeled chair, you cant win haha" 

"why not, are you afraid that you'd loose to me?" I put up my game face and took of my heels, i tossed it aside first and went back to the ball. 

"the games easy, first one to goal wins" 

"bring it on" it seems funny how I would be battling against him when I know that I dont have anything to lose? maybe its because... yoona's right, maybe its because I am playing Cinderella tonight

I was holding the edge of my gown while I was running towards the goal with the ball with me, Luhan was catchibg up pretty fast, but... isnt wheel racinf quite dangerous? I mean... is he looking for another pair of legs to break? but on the contrary, I am so not loosing to him 

I took a deep breathe and let the moment to be absorbed to me, I took a quick glance over Luhan who was still busy with his wheelchair and I looked back at the ball and the goal... 

and that was it, I scored a goal and I was jumping for joy. . surely it has to be one... of the most fun moment I had in my life, I ran back to Luhan with a wide smile on my face

"I scoreeed!! did you see that? I am way too cool than I thought I was be-- You can stand?" I said as I was locked in his gaze... i dont understand... 

"I can even walk... but they restricted me to play football... and besides, you wouldnt have won if I played on foot" he chuckled a bit and placed a warm smile on his face... 

"can I have this dance?" 

"but there's no music..." 

"then I guess you werent paying attention to tiny details whule we were playing... I didnt played with my legs, but I was still able to play... and right now We dont need music to be able to dance... and again, will you dance with me?" for a second that made me smile

"but im not in my dancing shoes..." 

"geez... you sure have a lot of excuses dont you? come here... step on mines" I was taken aback, and even before I can protest... I was already locked in his arms, I was buried in his chest as he was dancing, all I had to do was follow his lead. 

my bare foot was stepping on his shoes while my arms were hugging his body, clinging to him like child... this feeling is bizare but I like it..  we may not have any music but the sound of his racing heartbeat was enough... its that kind of thing you want to listen to forever... 

It was all of a sudden when he started humming in my ear, I wasnt quite familliar with the tune but it was nice, and calm...

" I love you... no matter what happens I do" he whispered and locked me closer to closer to him. I can feel the hotness scorching around my eyes as he told me those words... I had to bit my lip to prevent those sobs to come out, but as I did that... more tears fell down 

this isn't right... I need to leave, I need to go... as far as I could... the more Im with him the more chances he'd get hurt, and I cant be the reason to be the death of him... 

"i need to go" I managed to say as I tried to pull away... but it was no use, he's too strong enough for me 

"not yet, a little more longer... please" he said to be, I can feel wetness in his face as he buried it in my neck. god he just cant be crying, I cant... 

"Luhan, let me go .." it was too painful to hear him cry... 

"I cant, and even if I do, I wont, I wont let you go Seohyun, not now, and not ever... I'm begging you, stay with me... I need you, I really do" I pushed him as hard as I can and we both fell into the ground, I took that chance to get up but he's not letting me go... 

"luhan... I-I'm really sorry... but this fairytale isnt just for us... you know how the old people put it? that some people are meant to be together..  but it's not forever, that even their love can never suffice the tick of the clock... and we happen to be one of them... we're meant to meet each other, fall in love in the most unexpected way, at least for me it was unexpected and annoying at the same time, but you know what, as the saying goes? we're not forever, you and I are something... something limited and magical... something that I'd treasure for a long time... but hey... on the bright side, you get to be with Yoona again, after all that was our original game plan right? operation get yoona back is a success... just think of me as someyhing that just passed by... and now, me passing by your life is over... I have fallen for you, I love you, always have and always will" I took everything that's left of me and placed my lips on him, I felt his hand on my side pulling me closer...

"I'm leaving..." I said in between our kisses, It took me time before I was able to pull away and run, leaving him behind. I can feel the tears again falling down my cheeks. I just cant believe that happened... 

but you know whats more unbelievable? that after all this time, he hasnt given up on me yet... that no matter what... he loves me..  

and I do too... its just that, our love wont last long enough now... because, as the tale goes... Cinderella has it until midnight, and so do I..  

Tic toc, tic toc... I can already see the pure whiteness from around.   tic toc, tic toc... there goes my heartbeat slowing in the ground, I can feel my breathes slowly halting as I heard sirens all around, but was I kidding.. . its an end and no one can cure me now... 

its been a roller coaster ride... but like all rides in an amhsement park, it has to end... i have to end...
