It's Friday, and I just arrived school, I take every step that I need to take to my locker, when I arrived, I noticed that the sticker that I left in the door is no longer there, instead there's a yellow sticker with a red heart on it, I smile and then unlock it, I stare at the note for a while and then take it, I unfold it and start to read.
"Yn!
I'll take the sticker with the smiley face as a yes!
That means you're my date to the dance wow! Can you make me anymore happy? :D
But I'm being very delusional, you're probably wondering how are things going to work if you don't know who I am
And I wish we could meet like right now
But!
Trust me, you'll have to wait until the party comes along, I promise you we'll meet each other there face to face!
Even if it means I'm going to faint (I would learn CPR if I were you, just in case! No kidding :P)
Also, just so you don't get lost, I'll be wearing a red mask!
I'm excited Yn!
Clue: I have a crush on a girl called Yn but don't tell her! <3
-Z"
I smile at the silly words this note has, then I actually start to consider if I should learn CPR, as I'm lost in my thoughts a voice behind me says my name
Albert: Yn?
I panic and throw the note back in the locker and close it violently, my blood rushes to my cheeks as I try to act normal
Yn: Hey there brother!-
Albert raised an eyebrow
Albert: What was that?
He pointed my locker
Yn: What?
Albert: The paper-
Yn: What paper?
Albert: The paper you were holding-
Yn: I wasn't holding anything
He frowned in confused not believing a word of what I was saying
Albert: You were holding a note I saw it!
Yn: What?
Albert: What are you hiding now?
He crossed his arms, my hands started to sweat
Yn: I don't know what you're talking about!
Albert: What do you have in there?
He said getting closer to my locker, I stood in front of it quickly
Yn: Nothing-
Albert: Then let me take a look
He said with a smirk on, I was literally panicking
Yn: Why?
Albert: If you don't have anything inside then let me see
He chuckled playfully; my hands kept sweating
Yn: No!
Albert: Why not?
Yn: Because- It's very dirty inside-
Albert: Dirty? I don't care let me see!
Yn: You're invading my personal space!
Albert laughed
Albert: It's not a crime to check someone's locker Yn
Yn: My dad's a lawyer I'd be careful if I were you!
He laughed again
Albert: Let me see!
Yn: No-!
Albert: It's not like you have kidnapped children inside
Yn: Uh-
Albert: What was that paper?
Yn: What paper?
Albert: Yn!
Yn: Paper? Is that even a word? I've never heard it before
Albert: You're hiding something!
He said pointing his finger to my face
Yn: No-!
Albert: Then let me see!
He chuckled, I got nervous and smiled a little
Yn: Uh-
Albert: C'mon!
Yn: no hablo ingles-?
Albert: Very funny Dora...Show me your locker!
Yn: No gracias?
Albert: Why can't you just tell me?
Yn: Because it wasn't anything!
Albert was about to say something but then regretted it and stayed silent looking into my eyes with an eyebrow raised, making me feel way more nervous and intimidated, after some more seconds Kaden came around
Kaden: Staring contest?
I laughed
Albert: Kaden will you help me here?
Kaden: With what?
Albert: Yn's hiding something and she won't tell me!
Kaden: Oh really?
Yn: I'm note- I mean- I'm not hiding anything!
Kaden: Then why are you covering your locker?
I pressed my back against my locker
Yn: Uh-
Albert: See?
Kaden: Yn...
Yn: Kaden?-
Kaden: What do you have in there?
Yn: My books-
Albert: And?
Yn: Some of my notebooks-
Kaden: Aaand?
Yn: An extra charger-
Albert: And?
Yn: Chapstick honey flavored-...
Albert: And?!
Yn: Fine I'll admit it
Albert. Finally!
Yn: I sell cocaine
I hoped that comedy might save me from this situation, Kaden chuckled
Kaden: Very funny kid, now move I'm curious
Yn: I won't!
A minute that consisted in Albert and Kaden trying to move me away passed and then someone that looked like my savior came around.
Mister green hair
Jack: Morning !
Kaden: Help us here!
Jack: What happened?
Yn: These two keep harassing me
I said joking, Albert laughed
Albert: Yn had a mysterious paper in her locker and she doesn't want to tell us what is was
Jack looked at me while Albert explained and moved his mouth silently saying, "the admirer?" I nodded slightly, he nodded understanding.
Jack: Yn- I'm sorry
Yn: For wha-!
He then pushed me, I fell into Albert's chest, who wrapped his arms around me, I tried to get away but honestly, he was too strong for me (damn) Jack knew my locker's password so he unlocked it and opened it, Kaden and Albert took a look inside
Jack: There's nothing here
Kaden: So Albert was making drama over nothing?
Albert: But I saw it!
Yn: I told you I didn't have anything there!
Kaden laughed
Jack: You guys are crazy
Yn: You can let me go now, Albert
Albert noticed that he was still wrapping me, he blushed and let me go, I giggled
Kaden: Whatever, Albert we have physics, let's go
Albert nodded silently and gave me one last look confused, like not believing what he just saw, they finally walked away leaving me with Jack I looked back at him, he handed me the note.
Yn: Thank God you managed to get it out before they noticed!
I said relieve putting a hand in my chest
Jack: I saved you this time but be more careful!
Yn: Thanks again
Jack: Am I the only one who knows about the admirer?
Yn: Well yeah-
Jack: So that means Maia doesn't know?
Yn: Of course not she'll get crazy about it
Jack: What about Kaden?
Yn: Nope
Jack: Albert?
Yn: No! you're the only one!
Jack: Why?
Yn: Because it's something special for me, I don't want it to spread around the whole school and get ruined
Jack: ...I'll keep the secret then
Yn: Thanks Jackie
I said messing his hair
Jack: Should I dye it yellow?
I laughed
Yn: Please don't!
***
After some boring classes about stuff that I'll never use in life, my favorite time came around...lunch of course!
I was sitting down next to Kaden who was eating a pink donut, I looked at him for a while
Yn: Is that all you're going to have for lunch?
Kaden: I forgot to pack something, so I just bought it this morning
Yn: You're a healthy king, aren't you?
He laughed
Kaden: Of course! Look at my muscles
I laughed
Yn: Let me see if I have anything to share with you
I said taking my backpack, this morning I remember packing some baby carrots, however, when I opened my backpack instead I see a bag with a sandwich and another small bag on the side with crackers inside, there was a small post in the bag with the sandwich, I took it and read it
"have a good day sweetie
-dad"
I smiled at the note
Kaden: What's that?
Yn: My dad made food for me today
Kaden: You're lucky, my mom doesn't even remember my name!
I laughed, I split the sandwich in half and gave the biggest part to Kaden, he smiled at me and started to eat like a raccoon with rabies.
I ate the other half and some crackers, then Maia and Jake came around
Maia: Hello there friend'os!
Yn: Hey there Maiaiaia!
She laughed
Jake: What's the plan?
Yn: Hm?
Kaden: What plan?
Jake: You guys don't have plans for today?
Yn: Uh-
Kaden: No...?
Jake: But it's Friday!
Yn: So?
Jake: The populars always have plans for Fridays!
Yn: In case you haven't noticed, we're nerds Jake
He laughed
Jake: Alright then, I'm throwing a party tonight, my house
Kaden: What?
Jake: Yeah! You can't just stay in your house a Friday night!
Yn: We can't?
Jake laughed softly
Kaden: It's like that one Katy Perry song!
Maia: ...what?
Kaden: ...Katy Perry?
Yn: ...?
Kaden: "Pictures of last night ended up online I'm screwed"
He sang, Maia had a laughing attack
Maia: What pictures?
Kaden: It's a song you uncultured clown!
We laughed at Kaden and then Jake said
Jake: I'll invite some more people, be there at ten alright?
I exchanged looks with Kaden who looked confused, we're not used to go to parties.
This will be new to me
After some more minutes Albert, Jack and (unexpectedly) Mark came and sat with us, I noticed how the people sitting in the populars table looked at us confused and whispered some things, I didn't understand why until I realized that three populars are now hanging out with the weird kids.
This is somehow funny
We don't live by labels anymore, do we?
***
Dad: Again I don't understand this movie
Yn: She will get married
Dad: Uh huh...
Yn: And her best friend is in love with her
Dad: So...?
Yn: He has to break them up
Dad: Why would he do that?
Yn: Because he likes her! And she doesn't even know that guy!
Dad: Oh-
Yn: ...
Dad: Can you explain again?
I laughed
Yn: Never mind... can I go out tonight?
Dad: Where?
Yn: Jake's throwing a party at his house
Dad: Who was jake again?
Yn: Small eyes?
Dad: ...
Yn: Brown hair, a beard...
Dad: ...
Yn: Jake?
Dad: ...
Yn: Maia's boyfriend!
Dad: Oh! Yeah! That one, I keep forgetting your friends names
Yn: Hm? Really?
Dad: Yeah, but I still don't forget about Betto
Yn: You mean Albert-
Dad: Oh yeah, I mean Albert!...
Yn: ...
Dad: ...Will you date him?
Yn: Dad!
Dad: I'm just asking!
I laughed
Yn: So, can I go or...?
Dad: Is Albert going?
I sighed
Yn: Yes, he is
Dad: Then you can go
I laughed
***
I was struggling to brush my hair, the party begins in like ten minutes and I'm still wearing my pajama, my phone started to ring, I grabbed it and answered without looking who it was at first.
Yn: Hello?
Maia: Girl! Are you coming?
Yn: Uh- yeah, I'm on my way!
Maia: who is picking you up?
Yn: I asked Kaden, he should be here anytime soon
Maia: Okay then! Hurry I need a little help here
Yn: With wha-
Maia: JAKE THEY LET A DOG INTO THE POOL!
Yn: Maia?
Maia: GET THAT DOG OUT YOU SAVAGE PEOPLE!
Yn: Uh-
Maia: I gotta go!
Yn: Maia?-
She hung up, I laughed a little and then rushed to the bathroom, tried my best with some make up, I brushed my hair and got dressed into a black transparent crop top with some jeans, I look cute in my opinion, I heard my dad talking with someone downstairs, that was weird.
I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs to find Kaden talking and laughing with my dad
Kaden: The team's not the same without their old coach!
Dad: I know right!
Yn: Hm?
Kaden: Oh, you're ready to go?
I nodded
Dad: When are you coming back?
Yn: Twelve?
Dad: What are you talking about?!
Yn: But-!
Dad: Be here at three!
Yn: Wha-
Dad: It's a party! Go have fun!
I smiled and we walked outside
Kaden: Goodbye!
Dad: Bye Kaden!
Yn: Bye dad!
Dad: Have fun!
I hoped into Kaden's car he started to drive, Kaden had no license yet but for some reason his mother would let him drive the car every now and then, I trusted Kaden with the steering wheel but I still cant get used to him driving so recklessly.
Yn: You do know where it is, right?
Kaden: Yeah, I've been there before!
I shook my head
Yn: What?
Kaden: Yup!
Yn: When?
Kaden: He invited me to come over last week, and well we played videogames
Yn: When did we became closer to our bullies?
He laughed
Kaden: The same day you fell for Albert
I punched his shoulder playfully and he laughed
Yn: You're dumb!
He laughed
Kaden: Am I wrong?
Yn: Yes!
He laughed again
Kaden: Whatever-
Yn: How's Raven?
Kaden: Raven?
Yn: Yeah? Remember you ditched us to hang out with her at the mall the other day?
Kaden giggled
Kaden: First of all I didn't "ditch you" you guys abandoned me!
Yn: True...-
Kaden: And second, she's fine ...we facetime every night
I smiled
Yn: Does she know you like her yet?
Kaden: No- and you better not tell her!
Yn: I won't but you have to...
Kaden: What?
Yn: Flirt with her-!
Kaden: What?
Yn: You're not gonna get anywhere if you don't flirt
Kaden: Hmm... Do you think she'd like that?
Yn: As long as you're not annoying her then yes
He smiled brightly
Kaden: Alright, I guess I have to flirt now!
The rest of the ride consisted in me trying to give advice to Kaden, he only nodded silently at everything I said, the moment came when he had to park the car in front of a house with two floors, gray walls from the outside and huge windows, some people that I recognized from school were in the front yard, some of them smoking and talking, I was about to get out of the car but then Kaden said.
Kaden: Nervous?
Yn: I'm not used to parties
Kaden: We'll be alright- I hope...
We chuckled and got out of the car, we walked to the door and Kaden knocked twice, after a few more seconds Jake opened the door, he was somehow holding three red cups with liquid inside, he looked distracted and worried for something
Jake: Oh hey!
A weird smell hit my nose
Kaden: You okay?
Jake laughed
Jake: It's a mess inside, come in!
We walked inside, the atmosphere was heavy, for some reason most of the windows were open, people were dancing everywhere and I felt out of place
Kaden: This seems fun!
Yn: How did you parents agreed to this?
Jake: They didn't, they'll kill me and use my body for fuel!
We laughed
Kaden: Yikes...-
Jake: Do you want anything to drink?
Kaden: Just water please-
Jake chuckled
Jake: 'Ight! Come with me
He said taking Kaden to the kitchen, I stood there alone for a while, I decided to explore the house a little, I wasn't expecting this much of people, I started to walk around, everyone here had familiar faces, I walked into some rooms just to find people kissing or taking selfies, for some reason a group of girls asked if I wanted to take pictures with them, I didn't understand quite much, but I accepted politely, they took some pictures and said that I was cute and stuff, I smiled to them and kept exploring, I walked to what looked like the living room, I saw Mark playing beer pong, everyone cheered him as he drunk like seven cups in three seconds, I laughed a little and kept exploring, I went to the second floor I found some more people talking (or kissing) then I collided with someone, I opened my eyes and made eye contact with my best friend's blue eyes.
Yn: Jackie!
Jackie: Hey Yn! How are ya?
Yn: Hm, this is a new experience to me
Jack: Kinda weird, huh?
He had a red cup with a transparent liquid inside, he took a sip out of it
Yn: What's that?
I pointed the cup
Jack: Water, but if someone else asks it's vodka, alright?
I laughed
Yn: Why don't you just say you don't like to drink?
Jack: The social pressure here is unbelievable
He laughed
Yn: Have you seen Maia by the way?
Jack: Yeah, she was downstairs in the backyard, let's go
He said smiling, we walked our way downstairs and after crossing what looked like the kitchen Jack opened a door that lead to the backyard, it was a huge space with green grass all around, in the center there was a pool, some people were just relaxing and the rest was just splashing water all around, I noticed Maia sitting down in the grass, we walked up to her, she noticed us and stood up with a smile.
Maia: Hey best friend! And Jack-
Jack: That was rude!
Maia laughed
Maia: This is crazy right? I feel weird in this environment
Yn: Same!
Jack: What if we just leave, you know?
Maia: I promised Jake I'd stay here until this is over
Yn: There's not much to do here...
Maia: For people like us you mean!
Jack: If we act like populars we'll have fun!
He said joking
Yn: Why do people enjoy partying so much
Maia: Jake says we'll find it fun once we drink
Jack: We're underage
Maia: Just pretend you're not!
Yn: That could be a plan!
Maia: What do populars do?
Jack: Well drink, dance, smoke, drink again, talk, dance, kiss strangers, and-
Maia: I'll stay a nerd thank you...
I laughed
Yn: We don't know how to dance Jack
After a short conversation we agreed to go back inside to eat something, we only found some salad cookies, we ate for a while, then we stood there just watching people dance while we commented how some people looked weird dancing.
Suddenly Mark came towards us almost tripping, he came closer to me principally with a huge grin on, I frowned slightly.
Mark: Hey there people!
He said to us in a very happy tone, Maia snorted in a laugh
Maia: You good Mark?
Mark: I've never been better!
Yn: What are you drinking?
Mark: I don't know I mixed some stuff I found
Jack coughed worried
Jack: You sure you're okay?
Mark smiled
Mark: Pft! yeaaH! I'm BetteR than ever!
Jack: ...Alright
Mark: But I want to dance
He said looking directly at me with a smirk on
Yn: ...Don't even think about it!
Maia laughed
Maia: You want to dance with Yn?
Mark: Of course I want to dance with this cute doll!
Oh God.
Maia: I'm sure she'll be more than happy to dance with you Mark!
Yn: Maia-!
Mark: Yay!
Before I could reject Mark, he grabbed my hand and dragged me to the center of the living room, my friends watched me and laughed, I frowned at them, Mark grabbed both of my hands and started to dance to the loud electric music coming out of the speakers, I felt uncomfortable at first, then my soul started to feel the music, making me feel euphoric, I started to laugh a little and danced with Mark.
Well it wasn't dancing It was more like...
Us moving with no rhythm to the music while holding hands, without me noticing, the people around us formed a circle and started to cheer, I kept doing weird movements with Mark just laughing, people screamed stuff like.
"WOOHOO!"
"YOU KNOW IT GIRL"
"YES SHAKE THE SKELETON"
And well, I started to laugh and have fun, when the song finished people clapped and whistled, Mark bowed down I imitated his gesture and laughed, another song came out and I walked away to find my best friends again, my heart was racing and my forehead was sweating slightly
Maia: You got some moves!
Yn: Very funny, Maia
I said laughing
Jack: We recorded you
Yn: What?
I laughed
Jack: Yup
Yn: You better not post that anywhere!
Jack: Too late, it's in my Instagram story already!
I punched Jack he laughed and I felt my mouth dry
Yn: Well I'm not going to lie that was fun but uh, I'm thirsty, I'll be back
They nodded and I made my way to the kitchen, I took a clean red cup and looked for a bottle of something that wasn't alcoholic, however I just couldn't, I took a bottle that had written "juice" I was about to pour it in my cup and the noticed it said "with 70% alcohol"
Who even invents this type of stuff?
I sighed still feeling thirsty, I tried to get water at the sink from the faucet, even though this house was huge and literally had everything, the stupid faucet was broken and no water came out of it, I was getting annoyed, suddenly someone tapped my shoulder, I turned around to find Albert
Albert: Thirsty?
He said with a smile on, I chuckled
Yn: Very
He handed me a bottle of water, I took it, opened it like a wild animal and drank it like there was not tomorrow, he laughed
Albert: Thank me later
Yn: Thank you-!
Albert: Having fun?
Yn: I mean- sort of, this is not really my type of fun
Albert: What's your type of fun then?
Yn: I don't know, talk with friends and joke around maybe?
Albert: Well, I'm your friend
He said smiling, I smiled back at him
Yn: Uh huh-?
Albert: And I'll tell you a joke
Yn: Alright?
Albert: ...My life
I laughed
Yn: That was good
Albert: Having fun now?
I smiled at him
Yn: Yup!
***
Jake: But the shark has teeth!
Jack: So does the gorilla-
Maia, Jack, Kaden, Jake, Albert and I were in the backyard sitting in the grass just watching people mess in the pool, we were having a weird conversation about who would win a fight between a shark and a gorilla
Maia: I don't think there would be a winner
Jack: why?
Albert: They can't fight in the first place, the shark needs water and the gorilla oxygen
Jake: What if it's an aquatic gorilla?
Kaden: The shark still wins
Yn: If it's an aquatic gorilla it could easily beat the shark
Maia: Exactly, the shark loses
Kaden: Why? The shark has everything! It's fast and mortal!
Albert: But the gorilla has huge arms-
Jack: Yeah, gorilla wins
Jake: No! the shark does
Kaden: I'm done with this conversation!
He said joking and I laughed
Jake looked over the pool and gasped
Jake: HEY YOU TWO STOP POURING BEER INTO THE POOL!
I looked at the pool, people were really messing with it, the two guys who were pouring beer looked at Jake, laughed and then ran away
Kaden: How are you going to clean that?
Albert: You can't just clean a pool with soap Kaden
Maia laughed
Kaden: Yeah, but it's not like he's going to leave the water like that
Jack: Maybe he could clean it with a broom
I laughed
Yn: Or maybe call the laundry
Albert laughed
Jake: Don't be dumb I'll have to empty it before my parents notice
Jack: Organizing a party's too much stress
Just after Jack said that I noticed Mark hardly walking toward us, he sat down next to me and smiled at us
Mark: Hey bestiEs!
Jake laughed
Jake: Someone drank too much
Albert: You alright there brother?
Mark: Oh yeah, I'm doing great!
He said between hiccups
Maia: That smell isn't holy water Mark, how much did you drink?
Mark: I don't know...seven-
Jack: Seven bottles?
Yn: Seven cups?
Jake: Seven of what?
Mark: Maybe eight-...
Maia: I-
He laughed and then looked at me
Mark: Hey! You're really pretty!
I laughed uncomfortably
Yn: -Thank you Mark!
Mark: You have a cUtE nose...
Yn: A cute nose?...
Mark: yEah!
I laughed
Yn: ...Thank you?
He giggled and looked at me again
Mark: Are you single, doll?
I looked at my friends for a second in disbelief, they were all holding their laugh
Yn: Uhm-...
Mark: Will you marry me?
Maia let out a very hard laugh, Jack started to laugh too
Jake: Can I be the best man?
Kaden: I'll be the reverend!
Maia: Let me be the maid of honor!
I laughed
Yn: Is this a proposal?
Mark: yEs
We laughed
Yn: I don't know if I'm ready for marriage!
Jake came closer to me and whispered
Jake: You don't want to see drunk Mark angry
I whispered back
Yn: Why not?
Jake: He becomes a gorilla AND a shark
Mark: What do you mean you aren't ready for marriage?
Yn: Uh-
Mark: Be mine woman!
He said in a violent tone, Maia laughed
Kaden: What an icon...
Kaden laughed, Mark suddenly came to me and hugged me really tight I couldn't breath
Yn: I need a little help here
Albert patted Mark's back
Albert: Let the girl go Mark
He said in a soft tone
Mark: But she doesn't wanna marry me!
Albert: Because she has a boyfriend
Mark: She has a boyfriend?
He said between hiccups
Yn: I have a boyfriend?
Albert: Yeah, you do-!
He said looking at me giving me the hint to play along, the rest of the group also understood
Yn: Uh yeah, I do-
Mark: Who is it?
Albert coughed
Albert: Me of course!
Kaden let out a huge laugh
Mark let go of me, I inhaled desperately for oxygen
Mark: You're lucky Aretz
Albert laughed and looked at me
Albert: Yeah, I am
Kaden: So if you're dating... then kiss!
Kaden said joking trying to mess with me and Albert
Mark: yEah-!
Albert looked at me with a hint of red dust in his face, he seemed nervous and so was I
Yn: I don't think that's necessary!-...
I said giving a death look to Kaden
Jack: Oh c'mon! do it
They all started to mess with us
Jake: KISS KISS KISS
Maia: KISS KISS KISS
Kaden: KISS KIS KISS
Jack: KISS KISS KISS
Mark: KiSs kIsS KiSs!
Albert suddenly leaned closer and pecked his lips softly in my nose, I blushed with shame and my friends started to cheer
Yn: There-...
Mark: what A CuTe couplEE-
He said that before passing out
I wish I was joking but he literally passed out on the grass
Maia: Is he okay?
Jake: Yeah, he does that when he drinks too much-
Yn: But he'll be okay right?
Jake: Yeah, Albert! help me bring this guy upstairs so he can sleep
I looked at Mark again who started to snore, I giggled
Then I looked at Albert who smiled at me softly
***
We were on the second floor now, after Jake, Jack, Kaden and Albert dragged Mark to Jake's room so he could sleep, we were chilling in the hallway, I was next to Albert who was trying to convince me to try and drink something.
Albert: I'm sure you'll like it!
Yn: It has alcohol!
Albert: Like one or two drops, don't be a baby
Yn: That's the problem, I'm just a baby!
He laughed
Albert: It's sweet, try it!
Yn: I don't know-
Of course I was hesitant, my dad always talked about how bad drinking was
Albert: Trust me, you'll like it
He said looking into my eyes, when he said "trust me" my mind instantly said "do whatever he wants" my heart melt slightly, I smiled, rolled my eyes, took the cup and drank a sip of what was inside, whatever it was, it tasted like cinnamon with coconut and sugar, very sweet and I liked it.
Yn: Hey this is good!
Albert: I told you, my lady!
Yn: What does it have?
Albert: cinnamon, coconut zest, vodka uh- ice
Yn: Do you mind if I drink it all?
He laughed at me
Albert: It's yours, Yn
He said with a smile on, I didn't hesitate and drank the sweet beverage
Jack: Well look at that, Yn drinking alcohol!
Yn: First and last time
I said and Jack laughs, suddenly out of nowhere a girl dressed in a beautiful casual black dress walks towards us, I recognized her immediately and my mind turns shows a "danger" sign.
Lana
She walked to us, principally to Albert, she walked like a model, moving her perfect legs like she was in a fashion show, she stopped in front of Albert, she smiled flirtatiously at him and played with her hair, she said with a high-pitched tone.
Lana: Hey Albert
He looked serious at her, Maia looked at me frowning in disgust
Albert: Lana hey!
Lana: Can we talk for a while? In private?
Albert raised an eyebrow, he looked at me, then back at Lana
Albert: Sure!
They walked away, I started to feel a huge pain in my stomach, after they were gone my friends stayed silent for a while, then Maia said.
Maia: Babe why would you invite Lana?!
Jake: I didn't invite her!
Maia: Wells she's here!
Jake: She probably came with some friend or-
Maia: Kick her out!
Kaden laughed
Kaden: Yeah! Kick her out
Yn: C'mon guys it's just a party!
Jake: She's about to take your man! Don't you care?!
I sighed
Yn: Albert and I are friends and-
Kaden: Stop lying to yourself we all know you like each other!
Yn: We're friends-!
Jack: Liaaar!
I crossed my arms
Yn: You can't just kick her out!
Jake: Watch me do it
He said with a mischievous smile on, he started to walk to the direction where Albert and Lana were talking, I tried to stop Jake but honestly not even a train could stop him-
Maia followed his boyfriend, Kaden and Jack followed me trying to stop me from stopping Jake.
After a while Jake stopped walking in a corner, I looked at the front and saw Lana and Albert talking, we hid behind the wall and we could still hear their voices.
They were arguing
Lana: I switched schools for you!
Albert: I never asked you to do that-
Lana: I can't believe it, after all I've done for you and you don't want to date me?!
Albert: I'm sorry! I just- you're not my type!
Lana: Then what's your type!? Huh?
Albert: Everything but you!
Lana gasped
My friends listened carefully to the conversation; Kaden tried to hold a laugh
Lana: You know what!? I'm changing schools! Screw you Albert Spencer Aretz!
We heard the sound of a slap, I opened my eyes in shock, Kaden tried again not to laugh, Maia looked just as shocked as me, Jake was confused and so was Jack.
Then Lana walked out wiping her tears, we stayed there in the same position waiting for Albert to come out, he did eventually with his hand on his face, he looked annoyed and then stared at us confused.
Jack: We totally weren't eavesdropping on you
Maia pushed Jack playfully
We stayed silent for another three seconds, then Kaden laughed
Kaden: A GIRL SLAPPED YOU HAHAHAH!
Kaden started to laugh like a kid, Albert couldn't help but laugh a little
Albert: I deserve it I guess
I laughed and walked to him, I took his hand out of his face, his cheek was completely red
Yn: You okay?
Albert: Yeah, it's nothing
Yn: You should put ice on that
I said laughing, he smiled softly at me
Jake: Man that girl is crazy!
Jack: I won't deny she's kinda hot-
Maia pushed Jack again and we laughed

Some hours passed by, I was having the best time in my life, Kaden tried an eating contest with some other dude and won, Jack sang karaoke with Albert (I can't hear anymore) Jake "accidentally" threw Maia into the pool and she got mad at him. I took a lot of pictures, recorded a few videos and laughed at everything that was going on.
See? You don't need to get drunk to have fun!
Right now I'm sitting down in the couch talking with Maia who had to get changed and now is wearing her boyfriend clothes.
Maia: So I went to check on Mark
Yn: Alright?
Maia: And he was drooling
I laughed
Yn: Poor guy
Maia: That's what he gets for drinking too much, he's missing the best parts!
Kaden came around
Kaden: My stomach hurts-
Maia: You literally ate seven bags of chips, what were you expecting?
He laughed
Kaden: I don't know the cure for cancer or something-
I laughed
Yn: Hey uh, have you talked with Raven yet?
Kaden blushed
Kaden: U-uh well- I mean n-not yet-
Yn: You said you would talk with her today!
Maia: She's over there! Go and flirt a little
Maia pointed a group of girls, Raven was there with her angelical look, she was talking with some of her friends, Kaden looked at her and sighed a little
Kaden: Uh- she seems busy
Yn: Kaden! C'mon!
Maia: Do you want to spend the rest of your life alone?
Kaden: Uh- no?
Maia: Then go and talk with her!
Yn: Confidence Kaden! You're an awesome guy, if she doesn't like you, well it's her loss!
Kaden looked at me like understanding my words, he inhaled deeply
Kaden: And what do I say?
Maia: Get her out to dance!
Kaden: With the cumbia that's playing?
Maia: Oh my God no! I'll put slow music, you do the rest
Kaden: Fine! I'll do it- but...
Yn: But-?
Kaden: You have to dance with Jake, and you have to dance with Albert
He said pointing Maia and then me
Maia: Whatever
Yn: What?
Kaden: I won't feel alone that way-
I sighed and knew that I'd do anything for my friend
Yn: Fine!
Maia: What about Jack?
Yn: He's having fun with that girl
I said pointing at Jack, who was dancing like a maniac with some girl with straight brown hair, he looked happy and she smiled at him softly.
Kaden inhaled deeply
Kaden: Wish me luck!
As Maia changed the song to something slow and romantic, Kaden walked to Raven, he tapped her shoulder and she turned around to face him, she gave Kaden a huge smile, Kaden blushed and said something to her, she nodded and then grabbed his hand and dragged him were the people were dancing, they started to dance slowly side to side, Kaden gave me a look and moved his mouth saying "thank you" I smiled at him and then turned around to notice that Maia had left me, I turned around again and saw her dancing with her boyfriend, I smiled at my friends and sat down in the couch, after a few more seconds Albert came to me, he knelt down, grabbed my hand and while looking into my eyes said.
Albert: My lady!
Yn: Lord Albert!
He laughed
Albert: Would you do me the honor of dancing with me tonight?
I smiled at him
Yn: Oh I'm flattered! Yes!
We laughed after this scene, and without letting go of my hand we walked where people were dancing, Albert placed his hands in my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck, we started to follow the rhythm of the music and moved slowly his eye piercing mine each second, my heart was racing and I was convinced it was going to jump out of my chest, Albert looked away a few seconds and said.
Albert: Looks like Kaden finally gained confidence
I looked at his direction to see that Kaden was dancing with Raven with his forehead pressed against hers, both were smiling, I looked back at Albert and chuckled.
Yn: Well yeah, thanks to me
He giggled
Albert: We have to enjoy this dance a lot
Yn: Why?
Albert: Remember that I'm not going to the masquerade party
Yn: Aw right...
I said losing all my excitement, Albert grabbed my chin and lifted my face softly
Albert: That's why we have to enjoy it my lady!
I chuckled, I then rested my head on his chest, he wrapped me tightly and moved side to side, I could hear his heart beating which made me feel relaxed and somehow happy at the same time, I felt lovely in his arms.
Yn: Aretz?
Albert: Yeah?
Yn: Sorry if I'm not a good dancer
He chuckled
Albert: This is perfect Yn
Yeah
Perfect
