I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED. I was getting ready for Andre's friends' party, and nervousness took over me, as I had never attended a party like this. As soon as I got home, I called Annick and told her about Descamps' strange approach, right after asking her about the party, and she made it clear that she had no interest, leaving me completely alone in this decision. Fortunately, my father had traveled this morning, something I only discovered when I was surprised by Mrs. Applebaum knocking on my door and offering a bowl of pasta, since my father and her husband would be out for work, she wanted to help me with the food. I appreciated her caring attitude, it wasn't often that someone really cared about me.
The party would start at 10pm, and now it was half past nine and I still hadn't decided my dress, much less finished my makeup. I knew I should look for a charming and stunning dress, after all, I needed to impress Andre. When I remembered him, I couldn't hide a wide smile on my face. He was dreamy, romantic and cute, totally caring. He was really smart, and he seemed interested in me, not just because I was the mayor's daughter, but because I was me. But for some inexplicable reason, my mind replaced his angelic and charming appearance with a certain devious smile and sneaky appearance. Joseph kept coming into my mind when I thought about Andre, and it was irritating me. But I always tried to wash it off, even though it was difficult.
AFTER A SHORT WALK, I had arrived at the fifth year's large house. Obviously, it wasn't as big as mine, since my parents made sure to show how much money we had when they built the house, but I could be sure that the boy had a wealthy family. Anyway, I sniffed the smoke and alcohol smell throughout the house as I walked in, looking for a certain blonde head. I didn't know anyone here, but as I got closer and closer to the place, heading towards the kitchen, I saw some familiar faces; like Jean Pierre, some fifth grade boys that I've seen before, who were André's friends, some girls who attended my school and others I had never seen before, but what surprised me a little was seeing Dupin. Why was he here? I heard the boys in my class talking about trying to make their way into the party, but I thought the older boys were very specific about who could get into the place. If Dupin was here, Descamps came too? Relief filled my expression as I saw just the boy I was looking for getting out of one of the toilets, adjusting his pants. When he saw me, his face grew into a huge smiled as he leaned in to hug me, while I copied his expression. "You actually came!" He sounded excited "You invited me." I answered smiling. "Can I get you anything to drink?" He looked curious at me, as he made our way to the kitchen. "Just water, please." I started briefly analyzing the room, as he poured himself an alcoholic drink and then handed me a cup of water. "It was sweet of your friend to open his house for a party" He nodded "Casiro usually does this when his parents aren't around, but a huge party like this is new actually" I noticed our talk kind of died, which was awkward. "Your friend didn't come?" He asked about Annick "No, parties aren't really her thing" He just nodded again, letting the silence take over us as it seemed louder than the music and conversations around us. "Oh my God, I love this song!" I shouted for him to hear me as I heard the first chords of 'I Can't Help Myself' by the Four Tops fill my ears. When I saw some people walking to the middle of the room, to dance, I smiled looking at André, trying to make him read my mind. "You want to dance?" He asked in a funny way, which I just nodded. "Well, I'm a little rusty." He revealed ashamed "That's ok! I will lead you." I said sweetly, taking his arm and dragging him to the improvised dance floor.
A tired sigh left my mouth as I poured myself some whiskey. The bitter expression didn't hide from my face as I let the strong drink go down as if tearing my throat. The water was gone, so I had to accept the only remaining drink, as I was thirsty from all the time I spent with Andre dancing. He had revealed some unexpected moves. I was practically alone in the kitchen, as there were only two other incredibly drunk boys communicating by babbling while inventing some new drink that seemed very strong. That's why I was startled when I closed the refrigerator door, and the tall and lean figure of Descamps was staring at me, previously hidden by the door. I mentally grunted, trying to walk past and ignore him, which was in vain as he grabbed my arm. "What do you want now? Better, why are you here? You weren't invited." I stated firmly, irritated by his presence. "First, I don't need to be invited to a party to be in it. And second, don't act too confident because your 'boyfriend' is kissing another girl down the hall." He made sure to smile from one ear to the other while he mocked me, but I didn't believe, André was too kind to do such thing. After all, he had invited me, he wouldn't do that, right?
"Don't believe me? See it for yourself." He practically dragged me to where the boy was kissing a girl I'd never seen in my life, and that made my stomach turn. I couldn't lie, I felt hurt, but I wouldn't show myself weak to my biggest enemy. "We aren't dating after all. I can kiss other boys too." Descamps looked at me funny, as if he was doubting "Oh yeah? I doubt it" He had a challenging look as he leaned towards me.
In a moment of pure adrenaline, I grabbed the collar of his shirt and kissed him. It was a quick and heated peck. But it was certainly unexpected for him, since before he even had time to return it, I was quicker and broke the kiss. Descamps stared at me in amusement, certainly not believing what I had just did, after all, I didn't believe it myself. Within seconds, a wave of realization crashed over me; I had kissed the biggest idiot in school, and maybe, in town. I was supposed to hate him, because of all his malicious jokes, his disgusting attitudes, but in an act of drunkenness I decided to let my carnal desires and my involuntary attraction to him speak louder, and I made a stupid move.
I quickly ran away from the boy, quickening my steps as soon as I reached the coat rack, collecting my coat and my bag in just one sprint, and running towards my house. Not even the chaos of drunk teenagers vomiting and smoking weed could take away the confusion my mind was in as I hided in the dark streets of Saint-Jean, knowing I couldn't hide from my actions.
