Natalie's POV
'Awesome party Natalie' said Sandra, a relatively well known junior.
'Thanks' I said, looking across the hall to where Blake was making out with some guy I didn't recognize, one of her stalkers? My eyes slid across the whole place, stopping occasionally on hot guys and wondering whether if I went over and talked to them.
But none of them were Kevin.
Shut up Natalie. I needed a new boyfriend, really badly, because having a new boyfriend would mean Kevin would know, think I was over him. I drank from my cup, my eyes slid over to Jasmine dancing with Jason and I felt jealousy burning inside me. Last year it was me and Kevin, the golden couple, Christ why did Jasmine overtake me in everything?
'Hey, Natalie.'
I turned round and saw Silkie, it was the first time I think she'd actually been the one to start talking to me. She looked amazing in a light pink spaghetti strap dress that I recognized as one of my mum's, it cost ten thousand dollars, and her shoes were studded with real diamonds. True Cassidy through and through.
'Hey Silkie' I replied. Her friends behind her would have been beautiful, had they not been standing behind the only girl who could dull their colors to grey.
'Great party' she said, nodding her head 'I love the glow sticks idea.'
I smiled. I had way better taste than Jasmine.
'Listen, who do you eat lunch with normally?'
Oh my God. Silkie wanted me to have lunch with her. She wanted me to be part of her it girl crowd. I paused coolly 'no one I can't cancel with.'
Nerina's POV
The party got off to a good start. I danced with Blake, Jasmine and Natalie and it was loads of fun. I even drank a few too many beers, which I had never really done before but made me go all giggly and feel awesome.
Then Jason came along and Jasmine instantly staggered after him to dance and make out in a quiet corner of the room. Then Blake saw someone and disappeared off through the crowd and Natalie immediately walked off. I couldn't figure out why she hated me? Sure Kevin had got drunk and flirted with me on the first day, but the next time he said hi I told him to piss of. Wasn't that enough?
Probably not for Natalie, top class bitch.
Oh God Nerina, stop being so judgmental. You'll end up like Silkie if you're not careful. I shivered at the thought of being Silkie no-soul. I went and sat down by myself on the bench watching people dance and realizing even if I did have Jasmine and Blake, they weren't proper friends yet and I had barely even bothered with anyone else. They all had other friends, but like an idiot I felt too comfortable.
I watched Silkie pass by, followed by two of her minions and walk up to Natalie, standing by herself at the edge watching something in the middle of the mass of people. Wow, that was such a Silkie thing to do. Find someone who hated me and make friends with them. Next thing I knew she'd be giving her tips on how to kill me.
'Nerina' I looked up and saw Skye standing in front of me. 'You look lonely.'
'Yeah. I am a bit' I said. Wow, I sounded cool.
He sat down next to me and I saw Dino standing just behind him. I smiled, but he just looked angry, then shook his head and turned away. I wonder what that was about?
I drained the rest of my beer.
'Wow. Slow down on that.'
I stared at his beautiful face, suddenly feeling invincible. 'Why, when it makes everything so much clearer?' I asked then leant forward and kissed his perfect lips. He was surprised for a moment then kissed me back, and I closed my eyes. The moment was so amazing until he pulled back, smiling.
'Let's go outside' he said, and grabbed my hand, tugging me up and out into the cool refreshing air. Once we were outside in the darkness he pressed me up against the wall, kissing me harder with a kind of desperation I loved.
I loved him. I loved him. I loved him.
'Wow' I said, once it was over.
'I know' his eyes were sparkling with that laugh always behind them 'let's go to my room.' My heart was pounding so hard.
'No. Let's stay out here' I said, letting go of his hand and running onto the grass. He followed me and I lay down on it, staring up at the stars you couldn't see in the city. He bent down and kissed me again, before collapsing down next to me.
'Your beautiful do you know that?'
I bit my lip, turning my head to look at him 'no.'
'Well you should' he stroked a hair out of her face, it had escaped in the rush, and his skin tingled as it brushed mine. All I wanted to do was kiss him, and I did. Each time it got better, more amazing, more breathtaking.
'Nerina Cassidy. I need to ask you something?'
'What?' I smiled.
'I know it's a bit late. But will you be my girlfriend?'
'I'd love to be your girlfriend' I replied 'will you be my boyfriend?'
He grinned, stroking my face 'nothing would make me happier' then he kissed me again, and I didn't even realize the time going.
Skye's POV
Shit.
That was never meant to happen.
