10...I AM (part 2) At A Party

I reluctantly get out of Amy's car and stare at the view before me. It's a massive house with a big front yard. Some teenagers loiter at the front yard. Sipping their drinks and chatting with each other.

I take slow steps with Penda right beside me, because I can't let her out of my sight. I need a familiar face close by. I'm like a kid in a candy store.

The house is big inside as it looks on the outside. The inside of the house is bathed in a warm purple and blue glow, I actually love it. This might not be a bad idea after all.

The house is filled with people and it seems somewhat suffocating, but not too much though... People are dancing to wild beats on the make shift dance floor while others are talking in groups and playing games.

I get a glance of the pool area through the glass walls at the far end of the dining area... Whoever is hosting this party really went all out.

I don't even know whose party this is and when I turn to ask penda, she isn't there.... Great... I look around but can't find her, but soon, I find Amy and join her.

She's walking around agmiring the house.
"is this your first party?" I ask.
"nope... But it's your first. I hope you have a blast" Amy says with a smile.

After walking for a while, we stand by the pool, chatting about how the house is almost as big as mine. It's not exactly the best topic, but Amy seems to be obsessed with my house...

"I bet people are doing the dirty upstairs" Amy says... I definately do not need to know that.

"hey..." a male voice says and we both turn to see a dark haired guy smiling sheepishly. I'm not sure if he goes to our school because I've not see him around before.

I find his smile quite charming... He's actually goodlooking. "I'm Troy and you are" he says to Amy.

Oh right... He's here for Amy..
"I'm Amy and this is constance" Amy says.

We all chat about random things but I can't help but feel like I'm third wheeling. I'm about to leave when he ask for a phone number..
Amy's.
She gives it to him and while I wait for him to ask for mine, he doesn't. He only continues to chat with her as though I'm not here. Talk about annoying deja vu.

Big mistake to stick with Amy. Maybe Mary is more company...

I spot Lucas on the dance floor with some chick... And Mary is close by, just staring into space, lost in thought.

"boo" I say scaring Mary, she almost spills her drink.

"Hey don't do that again" Mary says with a mock frown...
"It all feels awkward I don't know what to do here" I say to Mary , trying to raise my voice above the loud music.

"Don't ask me, this is also my first party. If you enjoy standing and thinking about your life, be my guest. Or you could just find Aiden... Or even Logan" Mary says..

"Hmm.." I reply. "Well have fun!" I say leaving the main room to the kitchen. There is no way, I can stand and just stare into space on purpose. Talk about wierd!!!

The kitchen is a very big white and black kitchen. Again it is filled with loud teens gathered around a table, proberbly playing a game. Others are loitering around the kitchen or having drinks... Bingo.. Alcohol for my mission.

I fetch myself a drink from the fridge... A glass bottle of beer. "Why isn't it plastic?"

I haven't spotted Logan at all. I doubt he's here.... Why do I want to catch a glimpse of him sooo badly... I miss him.

"Hey Con." Aiden says approaching me.
"Hey." I reply.

"Are you having fun?" he asks.
"Not really. I don't know what people do at parties." I say with a shrug.
