The cars engine rumbles to an abrupt halt as we park near a crowded house with teenagers flooding out of it. The spacious lawn is covered n red solo cups and toilet paper. Not even going to ask. I turn to face Chalie who is smirking at me like an idiot.

" You are going to love this party, I promise."

"Wanna bet?" I have been running low on money lately this should help out.

"Nope."

"So what you are saying is you know it is going to suck and you don't want to lose money"

"Fine, I bet you 20 bucks you are going to love.... okay semi-enjoy this party"

"Deal!"

I jumped out of the car forgetting I was wearing high heels and wobbled in an attempt to keep my balance. I walked on the stone pathway to the front door.

The wretched smell of warm beer and smelly hormonal teenagers filled the air as I walked through the door. This was your average cliché high school party with the drunks, pervs and horny teens.

I walked a little faster staying close to Charlie for fear of my safety saying hellos to acquaintances along the way.

Charlie pulled me into a living room where his friends said to meet. They were gathered in a large circle with an empty beer bottle in the center.

Oh no.

I turned around and started to walk out when Adam Felton walked into the room. Okay, maybe I will stay for a little bit longer.

I turned around and sat next to Charlie on the floor making sure there was room for an unspecific person (Adam) to come sit next to me if he or she felt the need.

Not even a minute later a blonde girl who resembled a fake plastic Barbie doll sat next to me .

I faced the center of the circle and someone who I have never seen before spun the bottle. After rotating several times the bottle slowed and landed in front of a girl I have English with, her dare was to scream I have STD's as loud as she could. And that she did. The host's neighbor yelled at the poor girl and threatened to call the cops.

The process repeated several times with childish dares and personal questions.

They spun the bottle once again and it slowed to a complete stop landing perfectly in front of Adam Felton.

Now this I am excited to see.

He stood up and smoothed out his thin shirt that failed to cover the outline of his ab's.

"We are going to need 2 people for this dare, umm you" My head snapped to the guy who is talking and his finger was pointed at me.

Freak.

I stood up and was commanded to stand in the center of the circle. Adam came close to me and then the ultimate cliché dare was thrown upon us.

Make out for 5 minutes.

My heart was pounding like a fat person doing a marathon and my face went pale. This was not a good idea.
1. I like Adam and so I will over think this for like 300 years
2. I have never actually kissed a boy before

He smelled faintly like chocolate chip cookies and cologne. I tilted my head up to look him in the eyes. He gave me one of his award winning smiles and started to lean in.

His hands cupped my face and I looped my arm around his neck on my tiptoes. His lips met mine and we moved in sync.

My whole body was covered in the sensation of butterflies and I was beginning to feel light headed. His toung asked for permission and out of pure non-selfish reason I granted it.

In the distance I heard a beeping noise and the same boy who assigned me to this dare was saying that time was up. No way has it already been 5 minutes.

I feel Adam pull away and so do I reluctantly. Both of us are panting heavily. I can see some of my lipstick on his face and his hair a little disheveled.

I wonder if he enjoyed that as much as I did. I make eye contact with him one last time and turn around and sit down next to Charlie.

"What the heck was that?" Charlie half whisper yelled at me.
"I don't know what you are talking about"
"Making out with a guy you have only said like one word to"
"Calm down, it was just a dare" the words sounded bitter coming out of my mouth.

It was just a dare. We will continue to live our lives without each other in it like we have the past 17 years.

I face myself back towards the circle and try to pay attention to the girl stuffing her face with whipped cream. But I couldn't.

I found my eyes wondering over to Adam and to my dismay he was staring at me. He smiled, stood up and waved for me to come with him.

"Charlie I have my phone on me if you need anything" I stood up and walked over to Adam.

He slid his hand to fit in the dip of my back leaving a trail of fire behind.He lead me to the back yard which was quieter than inside and we sat down on the bench.

The cool breeze wafted over me and caused me to shiver and like the gentleman Adam was he offered me his jacket.
"Thank You " I blushed as he look down at me.
"No problem, it's Grace right?"
"Yeah"I smiled at Adam and to not seem like a creep I asked "Adam, right?"
~~~~
We continued talking about petty things that never seemed to bore me because they were coming from Adam. His blue eyes sparkled and lit up when he talked about his family and his hobbies that he clearly had a strong passion for.

I have dreamed of this moment for so long and I couldn't be happier. He leans in and moved a hair that slipped out of place. He continues to grow closer to my face until our lips are touching. This time not by force but out of pure choice and it is even better than last time.

My phone starts to ring and I am interrupted from our kiss.
"Sorry I have to get this it is my ride home"I explain.
"Your fine" he smiles genuinely and watches some boys playing football, "Mind if I join?" He asks pointing to the boys
"Yeah go ahead this will just take a moment"
I answer my phone "What do you want Charlie ?"
"Where are you? I have been looking for you everywhere!"
" I am in the backyard"
"Are you okay?"
"What are you talking about? I am perfectly fine and was having an amazing time until you called"
"You were supposed to meet me at the car at 1:35 and it's already 2:30 one minute I'll be right there"

Sh*t

I watch the boys play football while I wait for Charlie and admire all of their fit bodies as the run back and forth across the yard.

Charlie walks over to me dodging the football and grabs my hand. "Let's go"

I wave Adam goodnight and hurry through the mass of bodies to the front door.

I text and Clark tell him I am on my way home.

I can't wait for English class tomorrow. Even if Mr. Haynes is going to be there.
