The girl from school

Chapter 2

I recently got invited to a party, and I found out Bella was going too, we both decided we'd go together. I said I'd come swing by her place and pick her up in my car. After that one day, we'd managed to get on really well, and we're great friends again now. The day finally came, after a month or so, and I came by her house to pick her up.

"Hey," I said greeting her, "you actually look really good." I said warmly, smiling.

"Haha thanks" she said, smiling back, making a small heart with her hands, another thing we used to do. I was starting to think more and more about how we could be more than friends. I think I liked her, but I had not known her for long since we re-met, and I wasn't exactly sure.

"Do you want to come inside?" She asked

"Sure, why not" I opened the door for her and let her in first, even though it was her house. She showed me around her house, showing me her small kitchen and living room, then into her bedroom. I checked the clock, 7:49. The party didn't start until 8:30, so we still had some time to chat a little. The time flew by, and our chat wasn't as good as the first day, but it was still enjoyable. I checked the time, 8:17.

"We should probably get going now, give us some time to get there."

"Yeah, sure, we'll get going." she said cheerily, eager to get to the party.

After about 20 minutes driving (it was a fair distance away) we finally arrived at the party. Her and I both stayed relatively close, being new to the university meant we didn't know everyone, but we knew enough people to have a good time. I found a few of my friends, and spoke to them for a while, but avoided drinking. I didn't like to drink that much really, I just wasn't that type of person. The party was reasonably small compared to some of the other parties you heard about, but the music was still fairly loud, but at least it was good music.

"Hey," she said, she looked like she was having a great time, "what do you think of the party?" She was yelling, and I could barely hear her.

"Yeah it's great, hey why don't we try and find somewhere a bit more quite?"

"Whaaat?!" She replied, not hearing what I had said.

"Just follow me ok." I yelled, and this time she heard because she nodded her head. I managed to find a small room, towards the front of the house and away from the speakers.
"Are you enjoying this? You look like your having a great time." I asked, she had obviously done this before, living the party life. when I found her she was dancing with some guy, she looked like she knew what she was doing.
"Yeah this is amazing, we'll have to do this more often." she said cheerily.
"Ok, next time on of us gets invited to something, the other one tags along, sound good?"
"Sounds great, and you know what else sounds great?" She said with a smirk
"What?" I said, playing along and also genuinely curious for what she had to say.
"Well, we haven't seen each other in a long time, and you've definitely gotten much better looking." She said "I was thinking if maybe you'd want to have some fun tonight?" She said, in a very seducing way
"Bella, are you ok? How much have you had to drink?" I asked her. It was well into the night, and I had seen her drinking before, I wondered how much she'd drank that I hadn't seen.
"I'm fine Mark, just a bit bored, don't you wanna have fun?" She had begun slurring her words, she was obviously not fine, she was drunk.
"As much as I want to, I cant do this to..." I was interrupted by her leaning in for a kiss, and I kissed back at first, for a split second.
"No," I said, politely pushing her away, "Bella I can't do this, your drunk, we can't do this."
"Ohh come on Mark, it hasn't been that much," she was begging me now, and I considered doing it, even though it was definitely wrong. I realised we'd been here for a while, so I quickly glanced down at my watch.
1:49 am
"Shit..." I had completely forgotten about the time. "look Bella, it's late, you're drunk, we should probably get going" I could hear her sigh,
"Ok your right, we should get going."
We slipped outside, and no-one spotted us (not that it would've matter much anyway). The car ride home was pretty uneventful, as Bella fell asleep almost straight away. I do have to admit she does look cute when she sleeps, she hasn't got legs all over the place and doesn't snore. I'm guessing she must have had a few more drinks that I had seen. I finally arrived at her house, and thought it better not to wake her up, so I carried her inside and laid her down on the couch, putting a blanket over her. I said goodnight to her, even though she wasn't listening, but it didn't matter, it made me feel like there were good people in this world.
