“please remind me why you became my best friend?” i shouted since the music is like, a gazillion in volume. Natalie dragged me into the living room which is now filled with so many people dancing. Oh god. Please help me. i feel so uncomfortable. Natalie made me wear a halter top and a skirt. I cant believe im wearing this, and i cant believe i am here! ugh.
“because i am the best. See? I made you look super hot”
I rolled my eyes and said “whatever”
“nicole! You look gorgeous. Im guessing natalie did that to you?” mathew said in a teasing voice.
“who else would do this to me?”
“hey im gonna go get some drinks. Will you be okay here?” no. But i cant say that. Natalie is the host of this party anyway so she had to do that. I sighed.
“yea, im cool” well, mathew is here anyway, i should be fine.
“hey matt. Dance with me?” Or not.
Catherine, matt’s girlfriend said and he looked at me with apologetic eyes.
“its okay matt, go on” i smiled at him reassuringly and i was left all alone. As usual.
I decided to go the kitchen and get some food. The food here is always delicious, let me tell you.
Surprisingly, i found kyle sitting in the island and munching some cookies.uh, should i leave? Im no good with conversations for starters and im really feeling very embarrassed with what im wearing.
Then i realized why should i leave? Duh. Who is he anyway? Before i make my presence be recognized by him, i thought of something to say so it wont be awkward. Hm..
ahah!
I cleared my throat “surprise surprise. Why are you here? arent you supposed to be there dancing your life out?”
I stood in the counter facing him and grabbed a cookie. Mmm. Delicious.
He was about to say something but when he looked at me, his jaw dropped and his gaze went from my head to foot.
I started to feel so conscious so i looked away from him. i must be as red as tomato now. I shouldnt have wear this thing! Shit! Why am i freaking out? Calm down Nicole.
“for the first time Nicole Anderson, you look like a human. A real human. Im pretty impressed” he smirked and im certain i am now blushing because of anger!
I glared at him and i mean really glared! Idiot!
“you are such an idiot!”
“hey, im kidding okay? you actually looked different. You look, um, well.. beautiful”
He stared at me and i cant say anything. His dark brown Chinese eyes are melting me right now. ooh no, i swear my stomach is flooding with butterflies.
“i-uh-i-i” say something! Dont you stammer in front of this guy!
I was about to try to speak again but someone from behind cleared his throat. Kyle and i turned our heads to see who that someone is.
My mouth hang open.
“f-francis?” i dont know what to do. This was the first time i saw him after the break-up. i felt hurt again, a little. just a liitle. Thats a good thing right?
“nicole” he said my name in a cold voice but his eyes were fixed on kyle.
“ah, i need to go. See you around nic” kyle went and exited the kitchen leaving me and francis alone.
This is soo awkward.
“um. Hey. I-i didnt know youre here” i said trying to sound normal but obviously failing.
“i went with kim” oh yea, right. Kim is natalie’s boyfriend and he’s best friends with francis so...
“that was kyle thompson right?” he said flatly and i was shocked to see a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
Jealous? He broke up with me right? Maybe it was nothing, i was just misinterpreting.
“yes” i said annoyed.
“can we talk?”
“sure” what could he possibly want to talk about?
What he said next left me up all night.
“i miss you”
