Blank Space

Chapter 8

I can't dance. I'm putting it out there and accepting it. I never was able to dance so why I'm here attempting to dance beats the hell out of me. Danae must have super powers or something cause she could convince me to literally do anything.

"Come on Frankie! You have more in you than that!" Danae yelled over the music. Of course she looked flawless dancing around!

"Hey what happened to your date?" I yelled trying to distract her from my terribly awkward dancing. "I thought you guys were coming to the party together."

"We rescheduled! He knew that you needed some girl time after everything so we are gonna go out this weekend. Maybe you should double up with us... You know with Kyle." She replied.

"Seriously Danae! Nothing is going on with Kyle and me!" I said shoving her slightly. I guess this is what I get for opening my big mouth.

"I believe you really but maybe you should let Kyle know cause he hasn't stopped staring at you since we got here." She said pointing to a crowd of basketball boys, Kyle amongst them. For a split second we made eye contact before he turned his attention to his friends. I looked back at Danae who was just laughing finding the whole thing extremely funny.

"Do you think I should say something?" I asked Danae about 30 minutes later while she was grabbing a drink.

"Like what?"

"I don't know anything..." I replied shrugging. She nodded in response and made her way back to the madness in the living room where the real party was going on just as Kyle entered the room. Once he pasted her she turned around and made a kissy face before leaving.

He didn't say anything. He just took a few steps past me and leaned up against the counter.

"You gonna stare at me all night or do you have something to say?" I said turning to face him.

"I thought you weren't coming. You've never come to a party before and after yesterday I figured got really won't come." He said.

"It's almost the end of my senior year and I'm known as the girl who has never been to a party. It was time for a change. It was time for some much needed fun. Also don't flatter yourself, I didn't come for you and I don't have to listen to what you think I should do." I said taking a few steps back to distance myself from him. Mission accomplished, unfortunately I ran in the drink table and couldn't move back anymore. Kyle smirked at my attempt to put space between us before pushing off the counter and walk up to me. He got so close that our chest were touching, he could feel my heart quicken. He stood there for a minute before reaching his arm around my waist and then he backed up, with a glass bottle in his hand.

"I make you nervous, don't I?" He said. I couldn't find the words and with that he laughed slightly and left me alone in the kitchen. I wait about a minute before I decide to follow after him. Jenna's house was surprisingly a lot bigger than I had expected and after about 10 minutes of search and not finding him I gave up and decided to find Danae. I should just call my mother, I'm sure she is sitting by the phone just dying to hear how my first party is going.

"Hey baby girl, are you having fun?" she said when she answered the phone. I had informed her that I wasn't gonna let someone like Kyle Henderson tell me what I can and can't do and then I left with Danae.

"It's not what I expected that's for sure." I said pushing through people. "I ran into Kyle and he didn't seem to happy to see me here."

She laughed. "Honey just have fun and don't stay out too late. Love you."

"Love you too, I'll see you later." I hung up and put my phone back in my back pocket before continuing my search for Danae. In my attempt to find Danae I see Jenna is grinding on Matthew, ew! So that is what it would be like to see my brother having some girl rubbing her body all over him, noted. When I finally find Danae she is talking to Kyle and the two of them talking makes me really uneasy.

"Oh my god Frankie there you are. Kyle just told me your mom said you have to come home. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to get you in trouble. Matthew told me that he will take me home since he hasn't had anything to drive and Kyle offered to take you home. So I'll see you tomorrow right?" She said giving me a hug. What the hell Henderson?

"Of course! Thanks for understanding." I said.

"We better get you home." Kyle said putting his hand on my lower back and leading me to the door. I'm not entirety sure why I'm letting Kyle lead me outside to his car but I don't fight I just walk out the front door and get in the passenger side of his car.
