Every year, Mark throws this huge party at this rented party house. Everyone in our grade is invited to it. The party theme was fall. You know like red, orange, yellow, and brown. I was really excited yet nervous. I mean, I like Mark, I mean I like-like Mark and it's hard to be around a person you like without, well, staring at his beautiful almond eyes.
"Snap out of it Luna!" I snap at myself, "Sure, Mark likes you, but he probably doesn't have the same feelings for you like you do for him."
So I put on my best party outfit, asked Camilia for a ride, and off we go to the Ramirezs' party house.
I ring the doorbell at the clubhouse and Mrs. Ramirez (Mark's mother) answers the door.
"Why hello Luna! And hello Mrs. Carson, Mark has told me all about you. Come on in. Would you like a cup of fruit punch Mrs. Carson?" Mrs. Ramirez says.
"Thank you, but I have to get back, my son, Kai, has an appointment at the doctor. Maybe next time. " Camilia says.
"No problem," Mrs. Ramirez says, gesturing for me to come in, "Bye."
When I step into the party house. I gasp. The house is decorated with all different sized pumpkins, colorful leaves, a red, orange, yellow disco. There are tables throughout the room carrying food and drinks. This is probably the best party Mark has ever thrown. Yet.
I searched and searched for Mark. Finally, I spot him with a bunch of girls. They're all wearing dresses and heels, some of them are twirling their hair, some of them are adjusting their makeup, and the rest of them were laughing with Mark. They were all flirting with Mark.
My heart sinks, great, Mark likes other girls. He really doesn't have the same feelings for me as I do for him.
I suddenly felt sick. So I sat down on the bench. I can't believe it. I'm feeling very very jealous. I felt tears burning the back of my head so I looked down. Suddenly, a huge shadow hovers over me. I look up, Mark is staring at me. He has his right hand held out.
"May I have this dance?" he asks
"Mark!" I say, "Yes! I would love to!"
I took his hand and he led me onto the dance floor. I saw Trixie dancing with Zack. I giggle. The girls who were flirting with Mark crossed their arms and tried to find another boy to flirt with. I even saw some of them leaving because Mark asked me to dance. Others tried to sabotage our dance by talking to Mark. We danced for a while until I was parched.
"Mark? I am going to go get a drink," I tell him
"Sure. I will too," he says
We walk over to the snacks and drinks table and talk. I go use the restroom and when I come out, I see girls with Mark. One even tried to kiss him! He pushed her away. Phew.
"Hey Luna, d-do you want to go to the movies with me tomorrow at 5?"
I'm shocked. Did he just ask me out? I think he did. SQUEEE!!!
"O-of course! I would be honored!" I say
I think the other girls heard us and got angry. They left in a terrible hurry. Suit themselves. I'm so excited for the I guess date? When I got home, I told Camila about the news. She squealed too. I guess that's a yes. HOORAY!! We go shopping for clothes. I bought a black crop top that had long sleeves and black leather pants. I am so excited!!!
