During lunch, we girls came to a decision to sat at their usuals with The JAWS. On our way to the table, there are whispers and eyes are all on us. This is very awkward indeed. Hey, we just want to have lunch with our friends! what's wrong with that?! When we finally arrived at their usuals the girls take their usual seats. Kate sat beside Ace, then Charlie and Sam, Facing West, Hannah and Jonas.
"Hey guys, meet our new friend Hart, she was with the dance group" Kate introduced me.
"Hi love... Hannah can you move beside Jonas to make room for her?" He said with flirtatious look.
"Why don't you move your fat ass besides Jonas instead?" Hannah argues.
"Oh? do I sense some jealousy in the air? Why don't you just admit that you missed me babe?" West smirked.
"Miss your sorry ass!" she objects. The rest burst out laughing.
"Oh, I miss you girls!" Ace laughs.
"You can seat here Hart," Jonas offered the seat between him and Hannah.
"Thanks!" I smiled. Geeezz! Why do I have to sit beside Jonas? I can feel my heart racing on its full speed, butterflies are rumbling on my stomach I just can't eat. They began catching up with each other as they have spent the summer separately due to the breakup.
"So, Char, how are you?" Sam asked. The table became quiet waiting for Charlie to answer.
"I'm fine." She said casually.
"Do you two want to have some privacy so you can talk? We can leave you know?" West said teasingly. Hannah immediately elbowed West.
"Oh! What's wrong with you Han?!" West argues.
"Guys let's all move on... Sam and I were good friends before we became what we become, so let's just forget about it... And start with a clean slate alright?" Charlie looked at Sam with a hopeful smile.
"Sure..." Sam smiled back.
"So, group hug!!!" West declares and immediately I've been sandwiched between Hannah and Jonas. We all burst to out laughter and the awkwardness between Sam and Charlie just seemed to be forgotten. They were all best friends after all.

Basketball semifinals Junior year
Greenwood Highschool vs Greyson Highschool
Buzzer... Greenwood high school Gators win 24-23 versus Greyson Highschool Ballers!
The crowd goes wild! As we win the semifinals in our homecourt.
"Congrats Babe!!" I run towards my sweaty and tired boyfriend Paul to give him a congratulatory kiss.
"Thanks Babe!" He kissed me back.
We took pictures with the basketball team and the squad before we split up so that we can all wash up and change clothes before celebrating our road to finals next week.
"Babe, see you at cafeteria later. Bye!" I said waving to Paul as they head to their locker.
"Geezz Hart, you are so clingy to Paul" Blair said with tease.
"Am I?" I said teasing back and we burst out laughing!
Me and Blair had been best friends since middle school, she's the one who often encourages me to go out of my comfort zone and try new and different things. Just like how she convinced me to go to LA for Halloween before I entered to a serious relationship with Paul. She's crazy I think, but maybe I am much more crazier to agree with her to hook up with a stranger. By the way, I almost did hook up and lost my virginity to a stranger - a Dracula during the party. That is the most dangerous thing and embarrassing moment I've done in my life, that I do not even have the nerve to talk about it, even to Blair - my best friend. When I woke up the next morning, my head is still spinning from all the drinks I consumed and was so totally alarmed waking up with a stranger besides me. I could not even have the courage to face him, so I quietly tip toed and leave his place and never ever dare to look back. Actually, what happened was all a blur, I just remember that I was having a drink with a hot Dracula and then we went home, and kissed then I was out.
A month has already passed after my sweet encounter with Dracula, and I can't even pinpoint this feeling, why I keep thinking about him. What if I stayed and talk to him instead of running away? What if we can be really good friends? What if we exchanged our real names? What if we exchanged numbers? There is so many what ifs. That I decided maybe if I got into a relationship with Paul, maybe all this confusions and what ifs will fade eventually, knowing there is nothing more I can do or I can never turn back my time with Dracula. Maybe he will just remain to my life's sweetest and strangest encounter.
