Maria:
Alright-were actually doing this,aren't we?so many.....lights.and people.noise.drinks.creepy dudes.i see a couple making out in the far corner.and then there's the scary drunk people.i will myself to enter Becca's living room.I look around for Anne,but she is nowhere found.maybe she
left?!
Oh,wait no-shes in a corner talking to a tall guy wearing a neon green shirt.Oh well-
I have noone to talk to.Amina said she wasn't allowed to come and I see none I know in my vicinity.maybe I'll spot someone upstairs?
I climb the stairs and look around.nope-theyre either all seniors or kids I have never even spoken to.except...........what is he doing here?
He looks the same,just wearing a hoodie instead of a t-shirt
Do I talk to him?
I mean,I want to,but what if he doesn't want to be bothered?we are on the same balcony,right?yeah,it's fine.....
"Oh,hey!?"he said as I walked to him
"Heyy"
"Maria,right?",he asks
"Yup.and your......James?'
"Mhm.....that's me...so what brings you to "the balcony" this night?"
"Oh,just yknow-fresh air."I chuckle.fresh air?!!!that's the best you could do,mar-
"Right,right.yeah,no,same here.along with the fact that I know none of the people inside"
"Oh my god,YES,exactly"
He chuckles a bit.just a little laugh.but it was the first time I'd seen him laugh.he had the nicest dimples and
the sound was just...........
"Yeah......",he says
A moment of comfortable silence.
"James?"
"Dumb Dorothy?"
"Maria"
"Right-",the slightest hint of a smile,
"Are you drunk?"
"Not exactly-im not the type to drink too much ,why?"
"You got a car?"
"Yeah,why?"
"Do you wanna get out of here?"
"Let's do it"
