"You think you're different to me, don't you?" I tilt my head, staring at each other's lips.
Without breaking eye contact, he slowly stands, making him in control with the advantage in height. I'm the one looking up at him now.
"And you...

"I can't believe you said that to him in front of everyone. I'd be so embarrassed if I were him." Jean says shyly.
The four of us walk through the mall together like some posse. For the past few days Kate has been nagging me about hanging out more than usual. She says she wanted to catch up like the old times. I invited Quinn because I needed someone a bit less excessive as them.
"Who cares? It's Roy, he'll probably just find someone new." Kate says in the middle of us.
Word got around about my little outburst the other day with Roy. I've heard worse rumors about me to care about what was being said about me this time. Probably the usual insults and gossip. What do I care what a bunch of nobody's think.
I annoyingly glance down at my phone once again for the third time in the past minute. My mom has been blowing up my phone saying how we had to talk when I got home. I have barely seen her all week and now she wants to talk. I was going to make her wait as long as necessary.
"Who's the obsessed one blowing up your phone?" Kate stops, leaning into me to peak over my shoulder.
"No one." I dismiss, shutting my phone off and throwing it into my bag. She backs off.
"Roy will be fine. He's grown and hopefully has brain cells to understand I meant what I said." I reply to Jean so we could cut the conversation on this topic.
"I knew you could always do better anyway Anna." Evelyn adds.
"Of course I could. He was nothing but just a way to pass time." I tell her, turning on my heel as they follow me.
"So, when is this party happening?" I turn to ask Evelyn about the whole reason why we were here. There was supposedly some college guy throwing a party and invited most kids from our school.
"This weekend, there's going to be a bunch of hot college guys. Remember guys, these parties are what we used to lived for back then? Now we're finally invited to one." Evelyn reminisces about our youthful dreams years ago.
"It's not like it's my first college party." Kate corrected. Her usual sass came with her every reply, and by the looks of it she was trying out a new familiar style.
"Well for us it is. Jean, we have to set you up with someone this time." Evelyn excitedly tells her.
"I don't know. College guys? I mean they're like way older." She worries. I'm one hundred percent certain that Jean has never had a boyfriend and she barely speaks to guys now so to upgrade to a college boy as your first would be, highly unlikely.
