Why Don't You See Me?

Chapter 2- Remember

Its been 6 years since I've seen Him and I think I'm finally over Him. I have been having some weird dreams about meeting again but com'on, its just my stupid dreams.....

**********************************************Party Time!!!!******************************************

 It's a Friday night and I'm so pumped on the party tonight. So many people we know and dont know are gonna be there.

"Oh My Gosh!! I am sooo ready to dance my butt off!" 

"I guess..."

"Whats wrong Nina?"

"Do you know who all is going? There's gonna be a lot of people there......" She's obviously got something on her mind. Whats she so worried about? I doubt shes gonna tell me. Maybe its.......nevermind.

"Well.....your nervous?"

"A little, because I..........I dont know."

"Look at me Nina.....Dont worry! I'll be there with you and if you act crazy then I'll act crazy and if not I'm gonna act crazy without you, like I always do."

"Hahahahaah I guess"

I'm 13 and my sister just turned 15 which explains her insecurity lately, and when she's insecure I am too. I just replace it with my crazy random personality while she uses attitude. There's not a lot of difference between me and my sister. We both like sports, both like dressing up and both are tomboys. But the only thing that sucks for me is we both like certain types of guys and we have our own methods in getting them to notice us. She always gets what she wants, its me who's left with a broken heart.

There is a lot of people invited to this party and we're at that age when boys and people's opinions have become important as far as our friends and future. THis party is the start of our social status. How we handle the people and ourselves at this party is how people will remember us.

So we get there late because my father forgot the invitation. We look really good with our brand new clothes and confidence. I'm wearing a loose v-neck that has a be-dazzled pocket with my favorite slightly tore up skinny jeans that fits me perfectly and black classic high top Converse, all this just to accent my long dark brown curly hair. I choice to wear cat eye makeup but my sis a smoky eye. My sister went with a dressier look. A red top that fits her tight and black skinny jeans and platform shiny heels. She must know something I dont....

We walk in the door and the decorations are soo beautiful with bright lights, blacklights alluminate the corners of the room, along with my pink bra that shows through my shirt under a blacklight. Crap...and there's music playing already but no ones here?.....

"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME?!"

"You cant be serious?"

We are not happy with this at all. And when I say 'no ones there', I mean there was nothing but old people. No one as far as our young minds were concerned. We dont have cell phones yet, so our hope of making sure our friends are coming, are gone. So we head to the bathroom to sulk and talk.

"This is not cool at all, where is everyone?" My sister is clearly frustrated and not happy.

"Its alright Nina, there'll be here. We just got here early thats all. Dont worry were gonna have so much fun."

I'm also nervous that our friends may not show up and very dissapointed but I'm gonna try and cheer her up anyways.

"I knew we should've just stayed with grandma. At least we could eat some decent food."

"Hahaha yeah the food looks kinda soggy huh?" 

We had walked past the food on the way to the bathroom, nothing but soggy hand sandwiches.

"Hahahah I know, I'm in the mood for some flautas and tamales."

"!Si, y enchiladas tambien!" (Yes, and enchiladas also)

We were mixed girls. My father was African American and mother Mexican from Chihuahua. Always eating mexican food and a combination of both. We're a family that loves to eat and party hardy, so when we got to this party, it was the sorriest thing we saw as far as a party.

"Yeah I hope we dont get food poisoning. Hahahaha"

We walk out of the bathroom and realized the place is packed with people! No old person in sight. We suddenly see Missie, Karie, Ally and Casy recent friends of ours. We head their way and saw they were surround by people we have never met before except two boys we grew up with, Gale and Jake.

Missi tries to introduce us. "Hey guys I want yall to meet our new friends. This is -"

"We've met before. Like 10 years ago." Gale says with his oh so cocky personality.

He is the same age as Nina and Jake his brother is a year younger than me. We knew there parents. There mother would always try to convince everyone that we would marry each other. We loved her so much... she passed away 3 years ago when her youngest son Jake was 9. We hadn't seen them since there mom passed and it was a little awkward. A silent mood comes over as everyone tries to figure out how we could ever grow up with these adorably charming guys.

"Hey guys......."-Im so weird, always tryin to break the silence.

"Hey Pain girls hows it going?" smirking at my sister whos clearly annoyed already by his presence.

Gale has always been the jokester of them both and hasn't changed, always making fun of our last name Dolores which means pain in Spanish. Thank goodness our new friends didnt get it.

"Ha. Ha. HA. Dude you haven't changed. How's it goin Jake?"

He just kinda stands there looking at me for a while.

"Um....Jake?"

"Oh...um..Its pretty good.... what about you?"

"We're doing good, We were kinda scared there wasn't gonna be anyone here. No one was here when we got here."

"Well we are soo LET THE PARTY BEGAN!!" Gale has always been this super pary fun idiot. Thats why he's my favorite but way to cocky for my taste. We stay good friends.

As the party got started we start the fist pumping along with some shuffling with LMFAO and some old school. Then they played an old song that was too old for us so we head off the dance floor to chat.

On my way off the crowded dance floor I saw It. A face I'd thought I'd never see again. A face I've only seen in my dreams. But this face was so different now. So different but so familiar. He turned and saw me. I froze with his eyes. He came closer and I felt my sister and her friends leave but I couldn't pull myself out of his gaze to go with them. He walked closer and my heart started bounding. Butterflies took over, and I stood thinking bout what he'll say or what I would say. Oh god what am I gonna say? The next thing I know he's right in front of me and says.

"Hey?"

I'm completly out of it and I cant control my brain. Before I can come back to reality he says,

"Your Nina's sister right? Do you know where she went?"

I think a little part of me just died.
