"TEEN ROMANCE" ~ Malachi Barton

chapter - 20

GIOVANNAS POV

We had been at the school dance for around an hour now, it's at least 8:30 pm and everyone has just been dancing and singing and eating all night.

I was dancing with Keira when I heard the song 'Looking Out for You' start playing.

I feel a pair of eyes staring at me and I turn and meet a familia pair of brown eyes.

"mal! this is our song!" I yell over the music as he walks over.

"I know!" he yells back, taking my hands excitedly.

We dance until around 10 pm and the dance is over.

Stone, Malachi, Keira, and I all meet up at the car.

"we going to Johnny's" Stone asks, I look at Malachi, knowing he's not so fond of the athlete.

"i'm down." keira says and I nod, we all look at Malachi who's debating in his head.

"sure whatever." Malachi says and we all get in the car.

Keira and I talk about random stuff like who looked pretty and around 15 minutes later we pull up to Johnnys house.

It's a huge 3 story house with white limestone and black roof tiling. It's surrounded by cars and you can see people walking into the house, all coming from the school dance.

Keira tosses me a bag that has different clothes because neither of us want to go into the party with a long dress on.

The bag has a long sleeve, pink, cropped top, and black flared legging.

Malachi and Stone look away as Keira and I both change. (dw windows are tinted)

and Keira and I look away when Malachi and Stone change into their baggy jeans and t shirts.

After we are all changed, we head into the party, immediately greeted by loud music and flashing, colored lights.

It was packed in the house, I recognized nearly every person I saw from school. It's like the whole grade was here.

Keira and I split up from Stone and Malachi, we immediately go to the drinks area, excited to drink.

All though, I decided not to drink, I still want to be there with Keira.

I see Johnny approach us.

"hey girls! how was your guys night?" he asks, standing next to me.

His sandy hair was messed up, he had a red cup in his hand, definitely drinking.

"it was good, Johnny. how was yours?" I ask, smiling at him as I lean on the counter.

"pretty good. I'm glad you decided to come." he smiles at me.

Stone walks by and this catches Keira's attention.

"i'm gonna go with, Stone. Do you feel safe with Johnny?" she whispers to me.

"yeah! I do! go have fun!" I smile at her confidently.

Keira walks away, giddily, disappearing with Stone into the colorful crowed.

"so...how was dancing with Malachi?" Johnny asks.

"he's a great guy." I smile.

"where's he now?" he asks, looking around for any sign of Mal.

"i'm not sure, probably with some friends,"

"do you think he's watching you?" he asks, looking back at me.

"no, i doubt it," I look at the crowed.
