Okay deep breathes Madison I take a deep breath trying to calm my nerves one last time.

Here goes nothing Off I go.

PARTY

I’m leaning against a wall watching a crowd of rowdy teens gyrating all around me. My arms are crossed over my chest. Usually at a party I would crave being the center of attention, but as I gaze around the room I can’t believe I ever wanted to impress these booze heads. I Must have been dumb to want these losers’ attention. I watch the ticking of the clock as time seems to move by very slowly. I hope I don’t end up spending the night alone, I stand here waiting for her. I hope that tonight’s the night she accepts me. Scared, that’s how I feel, but here I am waiting…

Every once in awhile some random guy will come up to me and try out some lame and disgusting pick up line, but I just dismiss them. They’re lucky I’m not my usual self tonight or else I think I would of kneed them in a certain sensitive area. I walk over to the bar and get myself something to drink.

I needed something to quiet my nerves and stop my body from shaking like a leaf every time I thought of Spencer. I sip my drink timidly at first, but just as quickly as I had grabbed my drink earlier I take a long drink and drain it completely into my awaiting stomach. I’m almost considering getting another one but decide against it. I don’t want to get trashed.

So I continue to wait, that’s when I feel Goosebumps on the back of my neck and a strange tingling sensation and know she’s near. I don’t know how I could sense her presence, I just knew. It’s as if she casts an invisible glow around her and it doesn’t matter that you’re across the room or you don’t even see her it’s just there. Spending time with her these last few weeks has made me more aware of it.

I allowed myself to bask in her radiance, if that’s the right word to describe it.
I look across the room and their she is… ugh…with Ashley by her side no less. Just the sight of her arm around Spencer’s waist is enough to make me want to gag. She’s looking at me now and is giving me a very unexpected scan up and down my body.
