  Jay/Sonia
One year Before...

Sonia-
" Can we dance now Alec?" I ask for what has to be the thousandth time.
Alec is my boyfriend, my boyfriend who is currently content to drink till he passes out.
" No. I'm going to have another drink."
" I'm going to dance."
" Fine, be back in twenty minutes."
" Fine Alec." I split. I should have broken up with him weeks ago but I still don't have the courage.
    Alec tips back his glass and I walk into the raving crowd.
Jay-
" Nick you idiot, stop drinking and come and dance." I say.
" You go Jay. I'm content on staying here."
" You sure? Come on aren't friends supposed to help each other in finding
girlfriends?" I say raising one eyebrow. I don't really want a girlfriend but I just want to get Nick away from his drink.
    " Yes," he says," but  you don't need help."
    I roll my eyes and leave him to his drink, walking into the raving crowd.

Sonia-
Dancing is my passion. Every time I step onto the dance floor my body is taken by the beat, the lights and the other bodies. So I let the crowd take me. I dance and dance. What feels like weariness I take for an invitation, and keep dancing. I accidently bump into someone.
    " Sorry!" I shout at the same time as him. I turn to see who I bumped into. He's  tall and very thin. His black jeans are faded and his black T-shirt advertises a band I've never heard of.  He has straight black hair with a light blue streak in his bangs. A pair of  Gucci aviator sunglasses rest on the top of his head. His eyes are pale blue with a metallic look to them.

Jay-
    " Sorry!" I shout at the same time as her, turning to a girl I bumped into.  She is about seven inches shorter then me. She is wearing a white  crop top with a silver and black arrow pattern and skin tight silver jeans. Her hair looks like a galaxy. Purple, blue, magenta with white stars. Her eyes are silver. I hold out my hand.
    " Jayson but call me Jay."I say as she takes my hand.
    " Like Jayson Tesser!" She squeaks, " Wealthiest boy in LA! Your father runs the Tesser industry!"
    I wince at the title, " Yeah. You are?"
    " Sonia Heeks." She says, " Nice to meet you Jay."
    I smile.
    " Soooo, you're Samual Heeks highly complimented daughter."
    " You know my dad." She moans.
    " Yeah. He hates me."
    " I can see why. You are a lot better looking than him. He's a vain bastard."
    " Did you just call me hot?" I laugh.
    " Maybe."
    " Let me buy you a drink." I say.
    " I, um have a boyfriend."

Sonia-
    " Oh." He says, " Then maybe we could find somewhere to talk?"
    " We can still get a drink, but  I'll be buying my own."
    " Okay then. Let's go get a drink and talk about father problems."
I laugh and we walk to the bar to order drinks.
    " So father problems." I say taking a sip of my drink.
    " Well there's  a lot. The main one is probably his obsession with money."
    " We have that in common." I sigh.
    " What about you." He asks.
    " My father's vanity and obsession with beautiful women."
    " What about your mother?" He asks.
    " She died when I was born, some things can't be saved with cutting edge  technology." I say.
    " I'm so sorry." He says.
    "I never knew her so it's kinda hard to be sad. Can we talk about something else?"
    " Of course. What's your favorite thing to do in your spare time?"
    " Dance.  I'm in love with dancing. What about you?"
    " Painting, drawing, and engineering." He says.
    " What kind of things do you make?"
    " I actually have something with me," he takes out a small silver ball and says, " It's okay little guy you can come out."
    The ball starts to move and twist. It takes the form of a small bird like creature.
    "It's so cute!"

Jay-
    I set the little guy down on the table. Sonia looks at it more closely.
    " It's a Jay." She says, " Can I hold it."
    " Yeah go ahead."
    " It's so light!" She gasps.
It walks up her arm and nestles on her shoulder and lets out a satisfied peep.
    " It likes you." I say and we both laugh.
" Can it fly?" She asks.
" Actually yes, I just fixed its wings." I hold out my hand and the mechanical bird flies into my palm, turns in a slow circle and flies back to Sonia's shoulder.
" That's amazing! You made this!"
" Yeah It seems to really like you. Do you want it?"
Her head jerks up, scaring the bird. It flies back to me.
" I couldn't possibly."
I put my finger on a small blue spot on the bird's head and it curls back into a ball. I take Sonia's hand and place the bird in her palm.
" I insist."
" Thank you so-"
" Sonia who the hell is this?" A boy who must be Sonia's boyfriend slams his hands on the table cutting her off.
