We walked in, uninvited, Matt immediately got recognized. He shook hands with a handsome boy with glasses, known as Landon, my ex. "Hey Landon." I smiled, he was so good to me, and I know he still likes me, I just didn't feel that back. "Hey Li." He smiled, opening his arms and hugging me. He always smells nice, no matter the situation. "How have you been?" I asked, and I looked around to find that both Burns have left my side. "Great, I just started college in NYC, I'm only here for the weekend." He smiled. I screeched. "Oh my god! No way! That's so great! Why didn't you tell me sooner!?" I laughed, staring into his joy filled brown eyes. "I dunno, didn't wanna bother you?" He shrugged, he was always and over thinker like that. "You wouldn't have, anyways, I'm glad your finally in College!" I smiled, and he nodded before shaking hands with an unfamiliar face, and leaving me.
I held my hands in front of me, picking at my nail polish.
I didn't know a lot of people here, besides a couple of Seniors, and a few Sophmores. "Liana cmon were gonna play truth or dare!" Hannah laughed suddenly, grabbing my hand and yanking me between walls of people, the different smells overwhelming me. "Okay you remember Zack? From when you thought you wanted to do band last year? And then this is Theresa and Mimi, oh and Johnny." Hannah introduced me to a familiar boy with blonde hair and tattoos, Zack, a ginger haired girl with freckles upon freckles, Theresa, a Chinese girl with fair, pale skin, Mimi, and finally a brown haired boy with oval glasses, Johnny.
"Hello." I nodded, sitting next to Hannah on a couch. "Okay, me first, Zack truth or dare." Mimi said excitedly. Zack lips his lips, "Truth." He said, and Mimi almost pouted. "Who's the hottest girl you've seen?" Mimi asked, glancing around them, so did Zack. "Probably that girl that Matt was hanging on earlier, you see her? Man she was hot!" Zack laughed, and a little pain stabbed me in the chest, I quickly laughed it off. "Liana, truth or dare?" Zack said, looking at me with his deep brown eyes, his blonde hair covering his eyebrows. "Dare?" I almost laughed, unsure of why I even picked it. "Dare you to kiss me." Zack smiled, a tounge ring poking out from between his teeth. I bit my lip, and looked around quickly.
It's just a party, and I won't remember it in the morning right? "Sure." I said, a slight tint to my cheeks when Zack stood up, and leaned down to my face. I laughed nervously, picking at my nail polish even more. He smiled slightly, and leaned his body towards me more, and I did the same until I felt the cold and bitter taste of his lips, he'd been drinking. It was soft at first, and then I felt his tounge ring, and my heart seemed too loud, like it was the only thing I could hear.
His warm hand pressed under my jaw, and I put my hands on his chest, lightly pushing. He pulled away, and stared into my eyes for a moment, before backing away and sitting down. "Damn. I'm jealous girl." Hannah whispered, and I smiled, touching a finger to my lips. I looked behind Zack, and saw Matt walking towards us. "Hey guys, mind if I join?" He asked, pushing between Zack and Mimi. "Uhm Yes we mind." "No I don't mind Matty." Hannah and Mimi had said at the same time, glaring at each other. "Great." Matt said. "Liana, it's your turn." Zack said, smiling small to me. "Oh right, uhm, Matt, truth or dare?" I asked without thinking, oh boy. Hannah's gonna think I did it on purpose, God I hope he says truth. What if he did? Shit! What would I even ask him?
"Truth."
He replied, putting a water bottle to his lips. I sighed. "Stupidest thing you've ever done?" I said, glancing at Hannah, who was drinking beer.
"Mimi Yang." He laughed loudly, earning a red face and a sigh from Mimi. I laughed involuntarily. "Li, dance with me!" Hannah said, dragging me away from the couch, I'm glad.Hannah hooked onto a guy with brown hair, and started dancing. I did the same, only by myself.
Zack came over to me and smiled lightly, taking my hand and twirling me. "I didn't know you danced!" Liana laughed, falling into his chest and moving along with him, his hands cold. "Only with selected people." He shouted over the music. "Say, you busy tomorrow?" Zack asked, dipping me into the crowd and lifting me back up. "No, why?" I smiled, a slight blush coming to my face as I looked in his brown eyes. "Couple of friends and I formed a band, you could hang with us while we practice tomorrow, bring Hannah too." He shrugged. I smiled and nodded, he smiled too. "Really? Great!" He laughed, taking my hand and twirling me again.Zack was interrupted by someone speaking to him, and taking him away from me. "See you tomorrow Li." He smiled before being dragged into the crowd. I sipped my beer and sighed, starting to feel the affects. I looked around, the room was spinning. "Hannahhhhh guess who's gotta date tomorrow!!" I giggled, pouring more beer down my throat. Hannah giggled too, "that's great! With who?" She asked, holding my shoulders. "Zack." I smiled, seeing Matthew a couple feet away from Hannah.
This was going to be so much fun.
