Anton, Ben, and Matt found someone to dance with. Wide grins displayed on each girl’s features, enjoying their time in my cousin and friend’s arms.
Lee announced his presence behind me by tapping my sweaty shoulder. When I turned around, he scratched the back of his neck. “Can I?” a sheepish smile splayed on his lips, a hand offered for me to grab.
Returning Lee’s smile, I wound my arms around his neck and swayed my body to the remix tune of Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance’.
With my arms around Lee’s shoulder, I felt the heavy sigh he let out. Who knew Lee was a shy guy. Leaning my forehead on his shoulders, he loosened up a bit and moved in the same beat that hazed my body. We laughed, danced, screamed and laughed some more, enjoying this night with my friends.

Is it too soon to entertain someone? Is there a time frame before I allow myself to go out with someone else? It’s just a date that Cole is asking. It’s not as if he asked me to be his girlfriend.“Hm, I just got out of something,” I replied, my chest expanding in a mixture of excitement and fear. “I don’t think I’m ready for something serious at the moment, Cole.”A sigh left Cole’s lips. His thumb kept rubbing soothing circles over my skin. “We can take things slow. Get to know each other.”Meeting a stranger in a club who was willing to get to know me and not hit on the first chance he sees is refreshing. I’ve been to high school parties and mostly, the party crashers would want to make out as soon as they laid their eyes on a girl in a tight

I dressed Jake’s bruised knuckles and let him sleep on my bed. He kept murmuring the same things, but I just can’t get myself to believe him. Jake fell asleep quickly, and I took a warm shower before walking downstairs. Matt is making hot chocolate by the kitchen for the two of us. Clothes already changed as well.“Jack went to sleep in the guest room,” he informed me while I took a sip of the warm drink. “I know I have no right to say anything about your relationship with Jake, but I think you should give him a chance to explain himself, Bobbie.”I nodded my head and rubbed my temple. “Maybe,” it has been a long night.I slept in my grandparent’s room and cried myself to sleep. It was the first time I entered their room since the accident and their mixed scent w

The three of us, Mel, Candice and I were shopping at the mall on Sunday. Well, they’re shopping and I’m just here for moral support and my expert opinion, note the sarcasm please.After having lunch, we walked around the mall again, hunting for the perfect waterproof mascara. The competition which is due next Friday is making my best friends a bit edgy. Must be the nerves. This is the first time they’ll be cheering without me, somehow responsible for giving them more pressure at my absence in the team.My foot is aching even though I was wearing my comfy Chuck Taylor. We ate a lot, strolled around the mall three times and ate some more.Ready to head home, we stopped by the restroom to freshen up a bit. We head inside the cubicle and glad that the restroom was empty even on a Sunday.

“I love you,” I breathe out the words I’ve longed to say. This is the reason seeing him kiss another girl broke me more than it should, the agony in my heart, for I love this boy. “I love you the moment you punch Chuck for asking me out. I love you since you were teasing me on my pink tutu, Jake.”He chuckled and the sound of his laughter made me feel my heart thumping with happiness inside my chest.“I love you, Bobbie. So damn much,” he pulled me to devour my mouth with a loving kiss. “I don’t want anyone kissing you again, Bee. I’ll kill anyone who takes what’s mine.”It’s my turn to giggle. I got my Jake back. The life in his tawny eyes is back.“Am I? Yours, Handsome?”

Jake was reading ‘Love & Friendship’ out loud. My cheeks are hurting from the wide stretch it had been on since he started acting in front of me. One hand holds the book and the other moves freely in the air. For a huge figure like him, it is a bit hilarious to see his face so focused on acting every line.He’s like a poet, with the aim of entertaining me with his speaking skills.He succeeded though; I haven’t laughed this much in a while. My tummy is hurting, I can’t feel my cheeks anymore and I have no strength to sit up from my bed anymore.“You wound me, my love,” Jake laid beside me, done with his poetic escapade. Nuzzling his face on my neck, I curled like a shrimp and buried my face in his hair.How I miss this boy. &

The day of the game came like a bliss. The entire gang is with me by the bleacher. As usual, Tina was under the protective arms of Jack while Matt brought his date. An annoying girl who couldn’t stop whining about why my cousin chose a high school football game instead of a movie house or her apartment. Matt always had bad luck with girls, that’s why his hair is longer now. He made a promise to himself to only cut his hair if he found a girl worth taking a trip to the barbershop.I waived at Mel and Candice who were eyeing Lee and Matt. Mel was glaring over the redhead Matt brought with him. She had the biggest crush on my cousin, but sadly, Matt only sees her as my friend.Cole also came with us as well, and said that if he couldn’t get me to dinner in their house, he’s willing to waste his time on a lousy football game.Whatever their reason for coming is, we’re here to support Jake, to avenge our relationship with Davis. There wa

We drove off that night to the beach house. It was only about an hour's drive from school and we prepared all our luggage before we went to the game.I was in my car with Candice, Mel, Matt and Jake. Matt is behind the wheels because he insisted he is older and he should be in charge. Mel took shotgun, and we didn’t protest in any way. I was sandwiched between Jake and Candice, who was in deep thoughts while staring at the night.“Can, what’s up?” I broke the comfortable silence in the car.“Nothing.”“That doesn’t look like nothing,” I caressed her crumpled forehead.She gave me a reassuring smile, pressing my hands, “we’re on vacation, Bobbie.

“Barbie,” Mel tried to walk up to me but ungraciously fell back on her seat. Her olive cheeks are painted with a crimson shade, evincing the effect of alcohol in her system. “Your turn to drink…” she motioned to the set of various drinks in shot glasses above the table.“Oh no. I’m not getting wasted like you,” I shake my head vigorously, seeing stars and comets above my head.“Don’t be such a pooper, Barbie,” Mel slurred, fumbling over each syllable she muttered. That resulted in rumbling laughter and I shook my head at my friend’s tipsiness, taking my seat beside Jake. my boyfriend’s protective arms wrapped around me instantly.“Fine,” I said, and Jack was ready to set the timer while Matt was ready to record everything on camera. “This is going to suck,” I muttered before chugging one drink at a time. Wincing with each burn of the alcohol down my throat. I s
