LOVE AT LOST SIGHT

CHAPTER ONE

SAM

The bell rang telling us that school is out not just for today but for summer.

I grabbed my bag and headed to the door where I hoped I would see my best friend in the hall but had no such luck due to the excited crowd gathered. Without a doubt I knew they're talking about what plans they have for the summer, I on the other hand had nothing planned but I'm sure my best friend does. Grateful to see my friend while I was making my way to the parking lot, the wide smile on her face when she saw me, clapping her hand, I knew something was up and I'm not sure I want to be a part of it. My best friend is the total opposite of me. She's the party type. I rather stay home and read a book 100 times before I go to one of those outrageous parties.

No, whatever it is, no I say.

You don't even know what I was going to say.

She said with a frown. You dont have to because I know you.

I gave her a smile before pulling out my keys to open my car.

She hopped in just hear me out she pleads.

Fine what is it?

So Luke is having a schools out party tonight-

Nope.. Not going I cut her off before she could finish the sentence.

Samantha please itll be fun she begged.

Besides its summer loosens up a little, be bitchy for once we both laughed.

Fine but Im leaving before midnight.

She rolled her eyes Okay Cinderella

I laughed at that. I dropped her home and told her Ill come pick her up at eight. When I got home I decided to continue reading Perfectly Toxic , one of my favourite books. When I checked the time it was already 6:30. I mentally thought about what I would wear before I stepped in the shower. I decided on jeans and a plain pink T-Shirt. I grabbed my keys and headed out to get my best friend and sigh knowing that this night might not end well. I went to my best friend's room and as I expected she wasnt dressed as yet I checked the time seeing that it was only 7:45 I let it slide.

Is that what youre wearing? she asked with a disgusted look on her face.

Yes and no Im not taking it off.

Alright whatever

I watched as she drowns her face with makeup. For a second I thought of how Id look if I wore makeup.

Should I wear the blue one or the black? Ariel asked.

I looked at both outfits

None, they both like something a stripper would wear

She smiled and said thats the point, so black it is

I rolled my eyes knowing that theres no way I could change her mind.

You ready? she asked and I gave her a nod and we headed out.

The party was already crowded. I struggled to find a parking spot and mentally thank God when I did. When we got inside I immediately remembered why I dont like parties. I find it hard to believe how people breathe fine with so many people around them.

This place is way too crowded, I added.

Relax youll feel better after a couple of drinks Ariel said

And by drink you mean a glass of water or orange juice I said.

No I mean vodka.

I think were a little too young for that

Sam just relax.

She sound annoyed so I decided to not upset her. As we went deeper in the crowed the louder the music got I can feel the vibration from an Adam Lambert song through my fingers. Ariel grabbed my hand and pushed through the crowded place. Just before we reached the kitchen I felt something hard beneath me before I could register whats going on, then I felt arms lifting me from the hard cold surface I was laying on.

Are you blind? Ariel said to somebody I cant really see who the person is because their back is turned to me.

I didnt see her, you think if I had seen her Id bumped into her? the stranger replied Maybe you would have.

Are you okay? the stranger turned to face me.

His hair was laid back neatly and his blue eyes I could drown in them and the freckles on his nose lay so perfectly youd think they knew they were made to be right there.

Umm... ye..Yeah Im fine.

Im sorry, I really didnt see you

Yeah its okay, Im fine he turned around and gave Ariel a small frown and left.

Whos that? curiosity got the best of me.

His name is Adam and he's on the football team.

Hes cute

Ariel looked at me like I had grown a moustache.

Did you just say hes cute? Seriously did you just admire an actual male?

Yes, yes I did, is that a problem?

No, Im actually glad because I was starting to believe you were into girls

Why would you think that? Ariel stuck her hand out and proceeds to count on her fingers

Lets see she stuck out her index finger

Youve never been on a date, youve never looked at a boy without feeling guilty and three youre still a virgin.

What does my virginity have to do with anything?

Its a sign that youre afraid of men.

Or it could be Im not ready yet I replied

She laughed and handed me a cup with pink liquid. I carefully sniffed it. I titled the cup to my head and took a sip. The pink liquid burned my throat but came with a sweet aftertaste. I slightly prayed that I wouldnt regret this in the morning. I tilted the cup to my head again but this time I emptied the cup. I could get used to that sweet aftertaste but never the burning sensation in my throat. I remind Ariel about the time I told her I was leaving because I start working at the new diner tomorrow and I got the early shift.

Sure, Im tired any way; we could leave now if you want to.

We have like 15 minutes left.

Yeah, you want to use that 15 minutes admiring lover boy back there? She pointed at the back of the room where he went. I smacked her hand away so no one could notice.

No, thats not it

If you say so Cinderella, if you want to see him again maybe you could leave your glass shoe behind. I glared at her but she only laughed.

Okay, fine lets go

You better hurry before you horses turn back into mice

I smack her shoulder thats not funny

I took one more glance to see if he was looking my way but I saw Elizabeth standing before him trying to block him? I wasnt sure; its not my business anyway. I grabbed my purse and went home.
