"Bye.Tonight was truly magical, and it'll forever stay in my heart, But I have to go!" I tell him.

"Will I ever see you again?! Please come back!!! Can I at least get your number?"  Says the boy who just stole my first kiss, as he chases after me.

Jade's POV

I was a nervous wreck. My boyfriend Sebastian Rivera, had just left for Puerto Rico with his family for one whole month because he had a family emergency. My parents, once again, were also leaving me to go on one of their stupid business trips. Midterm exams we're this week, and I was really stressed out. To make matters worse, my bestfriend, ok more like my only friend, Christopher Velez, Ulysses High's very own popular jock, was going insane about his upcoming masquerade party.

After much overthinking, I had finally fallen asleep, when my phone suddenly starts ringing, I was tangled up in my blanket, and as I heard this loud noise, I kinda freaked out and fell down from my bed with a loud thud, and banged my head on the side of the bed.

I managed to sit up, and picked up my phone, as I looked at the caller ID...

UGHHH CHRISTOPHER!!!

"IF YOU JUST WOKE ME UP, AT THREE IN THE MORNING AGAIN JUST TO TALK ABOUT YOUR STUPID MASQUERADE BALL I WILL STRANGLE YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!"  I yell at  Christopher on the other end of the phone.

"Hey cálmate chica!" *chill* he chuckles.

"Ughhh Te odío!" *I hate chu!* I tell him angrily.

"No you don't!" He replies.

"So what the hell do you want?" I ask him.

"I just can't sleep. And my head hurts. And I figured , aye why not get on Jade's nerves?!" He says laughing.

"I'm two secs away from hanging up on you!" I tell him seriously.

"NO WAIT!...you're coming to my masquerade ball tonight, right?" He asks.

"Nah I already told you that's not my sort of thing, I'd rather stay home, watch some chick - flick and stuff my face with marshmallows while at it!" tell him.

"Well if you don't come, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call your parents and tell them you've been getting high, while they've been away" he threatens.

"WHAT THE FRICK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I WOULD NEVER!" I tell him shocked.

"Hahaha yeah I know, but please come, and Chica?" He says.

"Yeah?" I reply.

"Never say never" he says laughing.

"Screw you! Bye loser!" I tell him, about to hang up.

"Wait , please come to my masquerade ball! Please please please ...PORFAVOR! I'll make you tamales and pupusas, but please come!" He begs.

"Hahahaha alright, alright, if that gets you to shut up, then yeah I guess I'll just have to go" I say.

"You promise?"

"I promise, now goodnight loco!"

"More like goodmorning haha!" He says.

"Eh whatever floats your boat. Byeee!" I say hanging up.
Then I dozed off again, into a deep sleep.

-----------------------------------------------
[Later that day]

I'm staring at my reflection on the full length mirror in my bedroom, I'm wearing a dark blue mid thigh dress, and a matching dark blue masquerade *mask*, my black hair with blue streaks is combed to one side, as I think to myself :
Eh you look ok. It's just a stupid party anyways...It's been two days since Sebastian left for Puerto Rico, and still hasn't called me...I wonder why?

Then I get a text from Christopher.

Christopher : chica where are you??!
Christopher :JADEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Me : on my way! :P

I hit send, grab one of my leather jackets, sacrifice myself and put black high heels on, and rush down the stairs.

"Bye Mami! Bye Dad!" I quickly tell my parents before heading out.

"Bye mija " they both say at the same time.

I walk to Christopher's house and get there in less than six minutes, one of the perks of living in the same neighborhood as your bestfriend!

The front door's wide open, and there's a bunch of cars parked outside.

The first thing I notice as I walk in, is that everyone is wearing a masquerade!

Wow obviously. Shut up J.

There's people from school everywhere, some dancing in the living room, others drinking "punch" in the kitchen, and others just about everywhere making out. Even the backyard seems to be roaming with crazy teenagers.

Nice.

I search the already drunk crowd trying to find Christopher. But no sign of him.

I text him-

Me: where tf are you??!

Me: IM LEAVING BYE

Christopher : NO WAIT!!! I'm in the backyard . Come here!😋

Me: okie dokie😛

I walk to the backyard, and find Christopher, wearing grey skinny jeans, a red muscle button up shirt, matching red high top DCs , and of course, a matching red masquerade.

He's talking to a boy, about his height, but with black silky hair combed back, and dark brown eyes, he's wearing black Jeans, a blue shirt with a V neck,and over it,a black leather jacket, and black high top Vans. As well as a dark blue masquerade.

"Hi" I say shyly, as I approach them.

"Hola Jade!" Christopher greets me, pulling me into a bear hug.

Then I hear the boy he'd just been talking to clear his throat loudly, trying to get our attention? ....

Christopher pulls away , and looks from his friend to me and says , "Jade this is-"

He's suddenly gets cut off as one of his girlfriends comes running our way screaming at the top of her lungs, "CHRIS YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!THEY'RE DOING THE JALAPEÑO CHALLENGE IN THE KITCHEN RIGHT NOW!"and she takes his arms and takes him away .
"I'll be right back guys!" He tells us.

He leaves me alone, with this stranger.

This hot stranger.

We're awkwardly standing infront of eachother when he speaks up first, "Hola preciosa, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" He smirks looking into my eyes.

"No but it did sting a little when I scraped my knee crawling up from hell" I tell him smiling rather sweetly.

"Haha very funny" he says sarcastically.

"The name's Pimentel. Joel Pimentel, and you are?" He asks.

I know it's different, but do you guys like it so far? Shall we continue it yay or nay?
