Finding Stardust

Chapter 103

The two young men attracted a lot of attention because of their unusual appearances. The girls kept glancing at Therius and Xion, who walked casually through the various shops in the shopping center.

Xion looked enthusiastic about his surroundings. It looked like he enjoyed new things that he thought were interesting. In contrast, Therius appeared flat and indifferent. Both were almost like water and ice. One was full of enthusiasm and joy, one was cold and detached.

Even though the elements they controlled were exactly the opposite. The cold Therius was a pyromancer (fire mage), while the warm and happy Xion is a cryomancer (ice mage), in addition to being a telemancer and aeromancer, respectively.

They chose some clothes that looked the most "normal" and then returned to the penthouse. After changing their outfits into something from the earth, the two rested and observed the situation on this planet.

Xion chose to sit and relax on the penthouse terrace while watching the sky and listening to the sounds of nature, while Therius meditated and trained his mind.

"Gosh... you"re so beautiful," Haoran said when he saw Emma turn from the dressing table and showed her pretty face layered with a thin makeup applied by a makeup artist. She swirled her body slowly and showed off the dress she bought with Nadya"s help. A warm smile curve upon the man"s face. "I am so lucky."

"Thank you," Emma said with a smile. "You"re also handsome, and I"m very lucky to have you..."

Haoran kissed Emma on the lips and led her down from their room to the courtyard. Eric was waiting in the yard in his car. He went to the dance with his younger sister and decided to pick up Haoran and Emma since they are neighbors.

Their other friends would go on their own, and they would all meet at the venue.

"You look so lovely, Emma," commented Kristina, Eric"s sister, sitting in the front seat next to her brother who was driving. She addressed her words to Emma.

"Why, thank you, Kristina. You also look so wonderful..." Emma replied with a smile.

Kristina was still in the first year of high school. She couldn"t attend the prom unless a senior asked her to be his date. Many of her friends would be there because they were dating seniors, and their boyfriends took them to the prom, which is why Eric decided to take her with him.

Eric actually liked older girls and had been dating his current girlfriend for several months now. She was currently studying abroad. For this reason, instead of coming alone to the dance, he decided to bring his sister.

"I heard that Emma and Haoran are nominated as Prom king and queen," Kristina said again. "I"m sure you will win!"

"Ahh... thank you," Emma said happily. She was not too concerned with the t.i.tle of the prom king and queen. She had never been to a dance before and was very interested in knowing what it was like to come to the prom.


When they arrived, the party was quite festive. This dance was held in a school hall that had been decorated very luxuriously. There was a reception desk that gave party souvenirs to all guests.

When they entered the hall, they saw a band performance. The bad was very popular among young people in Singapore. There was also a DJ who was ready to play his music to entertain students in St. Catherine high school.

The students who packed the hall seemed to admire several popular couples in the audience. Bianca and Allan appeared in matching clothes, and both looked stunning. However, when Emma and Haoran entered, the students" attention was immediately diverted to this newly arrived couple.

In school, Emma was a closed and reserved girl, but her beauty is legendary among the boys, while Haoran had long been popular among St. Catherine high school girls.

Emma"s cla.s.smates who voted them to become the Prom King and Queen immediately approached Emma and Haoran and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Hey ...! You look so good together," Nadya exclaimed excitedly. "Wait, let me take your mandatory pictures, okay ..."

She pushed Emma and Haoran"s bodies together and took a few photos of them. She quickly posted their pictures on social media with some sweet caption and hashtags #prom # king u0026 queen # St.CatherineHigh # PromKing u0026 Queen.

"This is so exciting.. You have some compet.i.tion for the t.i.tle, but I am sure you both can crush them easily. From Cla.s.s B we have Tina and William, from Cla.s.s C some girls vote for Alex, then Bianca another strong candidate for Prom Queen from our cla.s.s, and we also have another couple from cla.s.s E: Imelda and Najib," Nadya explained quickly.

"Bianca?" asked Emma. "Alex too?"

Alex was their friend, one of Haoran"s boys. The young man was indeed very handsome. It was no surprise that many girls voted for him.

"Their partners are not from St. Catherine, so they are only nominated for a single t.i.tle," Nadya said. "Big brother Allan, our alumni, seems to have made it official with Bianca. I heard that Bianca will also go to the same university as him."

Emma knew Alex had invited a girl, whom he went to the same middle school with, but they were not really dating. Alex wasn"t allowed to date anyone seriously until he graduated from high school.

She looked at the table where the organizers prepared snacks and drinks and saw Bianca standing gracefully in Allan"s arm. They seemed to be talking quite intimately.

Ahh ... apparently, Bianca and Allan are now in a relations.h.i.+p, Emma thought. She remembered that Allan had tried to approach her when they met in the computer science courses and asked her out several times.

"Ugh ... my cla.s.smates are really corny this year," Bianca sighed after she sipped her drink. She watched her cla.s.smates talking and joking with Haoran and Emma. He had disliked Emma since she entered Cla.s.s A and taken her position as the school belle.

Before Emma came, Bianca was everyone"s dream girl. Besides being very pretty, she was also smart and always ranked 2nd in the cla.s.s after Cedric, the top student. As soon as Emma arrived, everyone started to compare them, and many people claimed Emma was far more beautiful and smarter than Bianca.

Now, Bianca was no longer a special girl. She was not the "it" girl anymore, and it actually hurt her pride. She was only one of the beautiful and smart girls in cla.s.s A. That was all.

She was really looking forward to the prom because she could get everyone"s attention again when she arrived with Allan. Her boyfriend was the school"s heartthrob for years before he graduated last year, and so many girls were clearly jealous when they saw her claim owners.h.i.+p on him.

Allan was the head of the student council and was famous not only for his looks but also for his brain and good family background. He finally formalized his relations.h.i.+p with Bianca a few months ago, and now they have become boyfriend and girlfriend. He knew how important this prom was for Bianca, which was why he was willing to come.

Uhm ... actually, he also hoped to meet Emma or saw a glimpse of her. He was curious to see how her boyfriend looked, ​​the son of Lee Industries" owner. After he saw the person directly, he would be able to feel better about himself.

Emma was not worthy of his sincere love because she preferred wealth over personality and intelligence, that was what he kept telling himself. But, still... he needed to see him in person.

"Why do you think they are corny?" Allan asked with a smile. "I think Cla.s.s A kids this year are pretty cool."

"You don"t know this... but since a student from Cla.s.s F move into Cla.s.s A, the cla.s.s atmosphere is ruined. They also shamelessly date openly in cla.s.s. That gives a bad example for our juniors in school who should be focusing their attention on studying,"Bianca grumbled.

"A Cla.s.s F kid can move to Cla.s.s A? How is that even possible?" Allan asked in amazement. "Is he smart? Who is he?"

"Oh, you must know him, you guys were in the same year once. It"s Haoran. He flunked his grades two years in a row and had to repeat the second year twice," Bianca said. She then tilted her chin towards the entrance. "There he is, just came in with his girlfriend."

"Haoran? That punk who always left his exam sheets empty?" asked Allan. "Could he have changed?"

"I don"t know. What is clear is that he could enter Cla.s.s A," Bianca rolled her eyes with a look of disgust. "Maybe he bribed the princ.i.p.al?"

At that moment, Haoran and Emma walked while holding hands toward the buffet table to get drinks because they were thirsty. Allan"s eyes that had been indifferent, suddenly went round when he saw Emma.

"That"s ... That"s Emma Stardust, right?" he asked without turning his head from her direction. His face became filled with an unmistakable expression of adoration.

Bianca frowned at the question. "Do you know Emma?"
