The Love Of My Life!

Gizelle

"Yes, 100% on my maths exam", I yelled ecstatically. I was technically considered a "nerd" at my school but I bet you they are just jealous. It was the last day of school and usually normal people in my grade were relaxing or going to parties. Instead I was studying for my exams next term and looking at different colleges to consider applying for. Now I may be only in 10th grade, but that does not mean i can not work towards my future.

I was studying extremely hard when there was a knock at the door. It was my best friend Amy. Now Amy was super popular with the boys and was so pretty. There is a part of me that wants a boy to like me but that is insane. I can't be focusing on boys when my exams are less than four weeks away. So Amy was dressed in this beautiful black and white midriff top and ripped light blue skinny jeans. Her blonde hair was straightened and left out. She looked beautiful. Amy held up a red shirt, cream fluffy jacket and dark blue skinny jeans.
"This is for you", she said handing me the clothes. I looked at her questioningly.
"We have been invited to a party", she laughed. I shook my head.
"I'm not going, I've got to study and prepare for college", I replied.
She wouldn't take no for an answer, so after ages of arguing I gave in. I went to the stupid party.

The music blasted my ear drums and the host's house was crowded. I immediately walked outside to get some fresh air. After a while of staring at the beautiful forest surrounding the house there was a Tap on my shoulder. At first I thought it was Amy, but then turned around to a boy looking at me.
"Hi", I said.
"Hey, I'm Jakob", he said.
"Gizelle", I replied. He sat down next to me and started asking me these questions. I answered truthfully and then he grabbed my hand.
"Come on", he said dragging me through the party. Jakob took me into a bedroom upstairs.
"This is my bedroom, this is my house and this is my party", he said. I must of looked nervous because he said, "oh, im not gonna make you do anything, just brought you here to look at this". He brought me over to some large sliding doors and pushed them open. I gasped. The sky was beautiful and the stars twinkled brightly. Then fireworks leapt up and painted the sky in mesmerizing colours of red, yellow, green and purple.
"It's beautiful", I whispered.
"Would you like a drink?", jakob asked. I agreed because I actually started to feel comfortable in Jakob's company. I continued to gaze at the firework filled sky. Jakob came back a little while later with two plastic cups holding red liquid in them. I reluctantly took a sip. At first I didn't like it, but then I continued to drink it. I didn't Really know what it was but i drank it anyway.

By the end of the night I had drunken about ten of the cups of red liquid and I was laughing, having a good time with Jakob. I received a text from my mum. It read:

Hey sweetie, your dad and I are going out. The key is under the door mat. Don't drink too much and be home by 3.
We love you,
Mum xx

I checked the time, 1:14am and threw my phone back in my handbag. I was starting to get tired and I felt like I was going to throw up. To tell you the truth I think I was a little drunk. The noise of the house was unbearable and Jakob could see it as well. So he took me up to his room. He sat me down on the bed And closed the sliding doors. He sat down next to me. We faced each other for a while and then unexpectedly Jakob leapt at me, kissing me on the lips. I kissed him back. His hands were clenching my cheeks and mine were pressed against his chest. I fell on top of him and we continued to kiss. After a while we pulled apart and I decided to head home.
"Hey Jakob, I better be heading home", I said.
"Let me drive you home", he suggested. I agreed. About a block from my house he asked, "hey Gizelle, maybe do you want to date me".
I thought for a bit.
"Okay", I replied.

He walked me to my front door. I gazed into his beautiful brown eyes and he kissed me. We pulled apart, then I hugged him, placing my head on his shoulder. He then whispered into my ear, "hey babe, I love you, you're the love of my life". I smiled and then he kissed me Again.
