Right To The Core

Today is the day that my parents our leaving just like they promised. I didn't think it would be today that they would leave. I got back from school and saw everything packed up and them getting ready to walk out the door.

"Bye Mom and Frank." I stood on the porch next to Chad waving at them as they got in the car. Chad didn't say anything, he didn't even wave. What's wrong with him?

"What's wrong with you?" I don't know how I managed to say anything to him, but I did and I must say I'm proud of myself. He just looked at me and went back inside. Wow, he can't even answer my question. I'm not about to dwell on what just happened. I went back inside and heard him on the phone laughing and chatting away. I went upstairs and to my room. Let me finish up all this damn homework I have from these teachers. I start on my Social Studies paper and I turn that in. I do this quick 2 page essay for my English class and this quick survey for my Health class. By the time I'm finished with everything it's 6:30pm. I hear my door open and I look over to see Chad poking his head in.

"Ummm 7:00 is when the party starts so get ready so these people we call our peers don't think you don't like to have a good time." I roll my eyes and stare at him. I love how he's acting as if nothing hasn't happened between us.

"They're most likely all your friends and that includes Austin so I'd rather stay in her and not deal with that." He nods his head and looks at me with those piercing eyes. God, why can't I just for ten seconds think that this lovely human being you've created is ugly.

"Yeah, but it's also a good time for you to show off that you're doing fine without him." I tilt my head side to side and nod my head. He smiles and leaves. I pick out some ripped black tights and this tight black dress that laces up on the side to wear with my black combat boots and ripped jean jacket. I get dressed and put on some eyeliner, mascara, and I let my hair down and wavy. I put on some dark brown lipstick. I hear everybody downstairs coming in and it's a lot of people. His little clique must've brought extra people. I leave my room and go downstairs. Not even five minutes into this party and people are already making out. This house is about to turn into Studio 54. The music is loud and everyone is having a good time. Everyone looks up and I look where they're looking.

I see Chad on the stairs and everyone is staring at him like a God including me. Everyone gets quiet for a second they're all adoring their host.

"WHERE'S THE DRUGS?!?" he instantly says and everybody yells and cheers. I just laugh and I go get me a beer from the fridge. I take quick glance and my eyes meet Austin's. He comes over to me and smiles. It takes me awhile to do anything, but I finally smile. I can't sit here hating people I just don't want to.

"I want to be with you and I really do miss you." I put my drink down on the counter and I look at him. I can see the sincerity in his eyes.

"You have all night to prove this to me, so start working." I see him smile extremely big and I walked away eyeing him. I see Angel and smile at her. She smiles at me and I see Chad bring his usual group of friends upstairs with him and I see them go into his room. I wonder what they'll be doing. I go out to my living room which has turned into a dance floor and begin to dance on this guy I don't know. All I know is this song Work by Rihanna is my song and I don't mind making someones night by twerking on them. I whine my waist and bend down shaking my ass a little before the guy turns me around and begins stepping with me. He's cute not that I care to know him honestly. I feel someone grab my waist and my back was against them. I look up to see his eyes dark and glistening and smirk on his lips. I smirk back and begin to dance on him. His body was moving with mine and I couldn't help, but smile.

The music went to slow song and he turned me around and put my arms around his neck. He smiled down at me and I smiled up at him.

"How am I doing so far?" I smiled and did a little shrug and he laughed. He moved my arms from around his neck and he held my hand. We went into the kitchen and he got us both some beers. He opened mine and handed it to me. I put the cold bottle to my lips and drank it. I actually really needed that I was kind of hot from all the dancing.
