SHORT STORIES

Meeting at a Party

"You are just average. My son needs to do better." My dad said.

"In swimming you need to get a golden medal not a silver. And you time was 5 minutes I expected more from you. What about your mark in Math? It is a 90%, you have to do better if you want to get into a good university." He continued on.

I just nodded. That was all I could do anyways. It really didn't matter what I thought I wanted, because my parents had planned out everything for me. From my elementary school to career. Even where I was going to live when I am old.

"Straighten your jacket. You look like you came from the dump. Pull up your pants you look like a gangster. Flatten your hair, you look like a punk." My mom added.

I just followed along. Even though I was tried of them, I just did what they said. It saved everyone time and less drama. We were getting ready to go to a party and I was going to meet the girl they wanted me to marry. Isn't that great?

"Who will marry you, of you look like a homeless person?" My mom said.

"No one." I replied.

I looked in the mirror one last time. I look like a loser. I am a loser. I am 23 years old yet I haven't had my first kiss. I haven't even had a girlfriend. Every time I got close to a girl, my parents would send her away by giving her the greed of money, since they want me to marry their friend's daughter Katerina.

I walked out and sat in the back of the car. I am not allowed to drive since I haven't gotten my driver license yet. I sighed as we drove there. As soon as we got there, I jumped out. My mom got out and fixed my clothes and hair.

"You need to take care of yourself, but again you are just a baby."

She walked away and I rolled my eyes at her. Great! I walked inside and took on the beautiful place. There were so many people here. I walked in with my family and we acted like the perfect family. We greeted everyone together until we met Mr and Ms. Perada.

"Where is Katerina?" My mom asked.

"She is calling Aaron to the room, so they can get to know each other." Ms. Perada said.

I nodded and walked towards the room at the end of the banquet. As I walked in smell of alcohol hit me. I was looking for Katerina, when I bumped into someone.

"I am so sorry." I said.

"I am sorry." She said.

I realized that my chest felt wet. I looked down to see my shirt and coat all wet. She looked down as well and her eyes widen.

"Oh god, you should watch where you are going. Like this is such waste." She said.

I looked at her confused.

" I an sorry." I said.

"Yea Yea, whatever." She ttolled her eyes at me.

I just said sorry and looked at her. She was amazing. She had red and black shoulder length hair. She was so different from me. Her dressing style was awesome. She was wearing shorts with black leggings under it and a leather jacket. I was starstruck looking at her. She walked away from me. I heard some one call my name. I turned around to see Katerina wearing a black see through miny dress. Her breast was falling out. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Babe, you are finally here." She said.

She reeked of alcohol and cigarettes.

"Yes, how have you been?" I asked.

"Well without you not so good." She slurred her words.

Suddenly she kissed me. My eyes widen and I pushed her away. She took away my first kiss. What is she doing. I always thought it would be someone I loved not some random person I met three days ago. I pushed her away and ran. I bumped into someone. I looked up to see the same girl, i bumped into earlier.
