Felicienne Angeles just moved to the Pacific Palisades in the last months of her senior year to help raise her little brother. She ends up working at the hottest surf shop in LA with hottest clients and the hottest staff. Little does she know, she's...
Derek picked me up at my house for the event. He waited for me outside his car. I could see his jaw drop when he saw me.
"Excuse me miss. Have seen a girl name Cene?" He jokes.
"Shutup. Help me into the car." I smile.
"My pleasure."
We get to the event and arrive at a skyrise. Derek lets valet take the car. We walk to the elevator and get off at the the 40th floor. Derek let me walk ahead of him as if I know where we're going. I'm almost lost until I see Cameron in front a large opening to the roof. He's talking to another guy. I see him and my heart almost stops. He's in a full black suit with a black shirt partially unbuttoned. We would look so good if we had came together.

He turns and sees me. Mid-conversation, he stops and stares at me....hard. All I can do is blush.
"Sup Cam?" Derek and Cameron slap hands and Derek walks to the rooftop. The guy Cameron is talking to walks with Derek. Deep down I'm too nervous to be left alone with Cameron. The way he looks at me is so intimidating.
"Cene, I..." He grows speechless. "Like, wow!"
I laugh nervously.
"I'm sorry. Don't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"You're not. I'm just sort of nervous. Bunch of people I don't know here."
"It's cool. You're gonna do great."
"I'd feel better if I had a date." I say looking around.
Cameron clenches his teeth with his hands in his pockets. "Yeah, that would be nice huh?"
"Yeah. Do you have a date?" I ask him.
He shakes his head no.
"Then maybe..." I start to suggest since he won't ask me. "We should just go in together. As like friends, though." I don't want to seem too forward and I definitely don't do well with getting turned down.
"That sounds nice...but...let's keep it professional. Okay?"
OUCH!
I blink repeatedly, not used to the sound of being turned down. Damn that burned like a hot knife.
"Sure." I say shortly.
"But you do look beau-"
Shai walks up in a stunning red dress and red lipstick. Cameron seems distracted by her too. Damn it, the night is already f**king up.
"Wow, you guys are glowing!" He says. Ugh.
"Come into the party." She rubs his shoulder and looks at him with a serious, lustful look.
"Oh, so now you wanna talk to me?" He smiles. "Why you been ignoring my calls Shai?"
"You pissed me off. Just come on. Some people want to meet you."
