Cursed
night out.
    My heart couldn’t help but beat harder as my
skin craved feeling that wind again.
    I looked to the right and saw a guy I had never
seen before. He was very tall and dark blond with the most stunning
blue eyes I had ever seen, they looked like a husky dogs. Almost
white blue but bright like there was a light shining out from
behind his eyes. He looked like an actor in a movie not a guy at a
teenager party. His face was like something you didn’t see in such
a small town. I felt my breath be taken away as I locked eyes with
him. I wanted to walk to him, I knew him from somewhere. He looked
at me for a moment but his face seemed surprised when I pointed to
him subtly, “Who is that?”
    I looked up at Blake for a second but when we
both looked over to the side of the house he was gone.
    Blake shrugged, “I didn’t see him.”
    “There are a few people from Port Handley here.
They’re friends with Shane.” A girl beside me spoke softly looking
to where I had pointed. I recognized her as my sister’s friend
Giselle. She was easily the most beautiful girl in the world, half
French and half Filipino and the best of both worlds.
    She staggered slightly as she entered the
house.
    “Clearly not her first drink of the evening.”
Blake whispered as we walked into the house smiling about the joke
only we were privy to.
    I looked out the window again hoping to see the
guy from the neighboring town, his eyes had mystified me but he
seemed familiar to me somehow almost like I had dreamt of him
before. He was everything I would have imagined when describing
stunning beauty.
    Shaking it off I looked around the house at the
drunken teenagers everywhere.
    “Want a drink little sister?” Alise was beside
me with a glass.
    I took it suspiciously looking into the glass at
what appeared to be lemonade.
    “Its lemonade Aimee, remember the deal we made,”
she laughed as I eyed her up. “Besides I might need you to drive
home.” she sighed and walked away.
    “Thanks Alise.” Blake smiled at her. He looked
into the glass she had given him and took a drink. I waited a few
seconds for the foam to start pouring out of his lips from the
poison but it seemed harmless. I drank some as well surprised by
the flavor; it was a great glass of lemonade. I was shocked Alise
was actually holding up her end of the bargain, shocked and
suspicious.
    “It’s really loud in here, want to go to a
quieter room?” I asked Blake who nodded.
    People around us glared, took a second look and
when it registered nerds had crashed the party they started to talk
to each other while still maintaining a steady glare in our
direction.
    “Not in the least bit obvious are they?” Blake
asked sipping his drink and looking around. His grumpy face was
back; I assumed that deep down he had hoped to be accepted by them.
I had never seen Blake care about what the popular kids thought or
did until this moment.
    We walked past the kitchen where Shane was
standing in a group of the popular kids. He looked over at me and
smiled. I loved how his face lit up when he saw me. I wanted to
talk to him but Alise put a hand on his arm and laughed with the
group of kids. Shane looked embarrassed and looked down blushing as
they all continued to talk. I felt a new hurt inside my heart.
    I looked over at Blake and decided it was time
to start making some of my dreams come true and Blake was the
answer to the question of whom, besides the one I couldn’t have,
would make me happy. We found a sunroom off the back of the house
where there were couches and a few couples making out. The lights
were dimmer in here but the music was quieter. To me this was the
place to pass a few hours till it was time to go home.
    I sat on the older floral couch and admired the
house, it was a very large place with a contemporary feel to it,
not too modern to feel cold but crisp and clean. All but this
sunroom, which was cozy.
    Pictures of Shane and his sister lined the walls
of the sunroom
