For @_HowIDisapper_

This New Years party was okay, you thought. You had told Corinne that it was not for you. You're a bit antisocial. You watched your only friend and ride home dance with some random guy. She's like that, you thought. You were just kinda standing in the corner, watching everyone else have a good time. A boy with mousy brown hair and glasses came up to you.

"Not a party person, huh?" He shouted over the loud music. You nodded at stared at the ground.

"I was dragged here with my brother and one of his friends. They needed a designated driver..." As he spoke you watched Corinne grind up against a boy a little taller then her with his hair long on one side and shaved on the other. They were both holding beers and dancing like there was no tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow was the start of a new year, so they might as well get everything out before it all restarts.

"Yeah, there's Frank, dancing with the blond in the short dress."

"That's my designated driver, Corinne." You spoke up. He nodded and watched them.

"I'm Mikey, by the way." He stuck his hand out for you to shake. You took it carefully.

"Rachel."

"So, Rachel, you're not dancing because...?"

"I'm not a people person." You shrugged.

"We could go out to the foyer, it's a lot quieter out there." He suggested.

"Might as well." You answered. He lead you over to the lobby like area of the mansion. He was right. The music was only a pounding buzz, and the lights were dim, not flashing or bright.

"What did you say you're friend's name was?" Mikey asked.

"Corinne. She tends to get drunk easily. What was your friend's name?"

"Frank. He's the same way." You shuddered at the fact that they might take it farther than just dancing.

"One minute TO MIDNIGHT, GUYS!" A tipsy girl came screaming at everyone. She laughed as a dark hair boy took her away and apologised. You glanced at the clock, she was right, only one minute to midnight.

"How do you want to start off your new year, Rachel?" Mikey caught your attention.

"Oh, uh... I'm not sure. With a fun way, I guess." He laughed, and you have him a confused look.

"My last name's Way," he explained. You burst out laughing.

"And I assure you, I am very fun." You both laughed harder.

"THIRTY SECONDS Y'ALL!" The girl who announced a minute came running back. The same boy took her back to the party, apologising for her.

"How about you Mikey? How do you want to start the new year?"

"I dunno. In a happy tone, I guess." He shrugged. People in the party started screaming about the time.

"19 SECONDS AND COUNTING!" You heard. You're heard thumped in your chest as you say Frank half carry Corinne upstairs to one of the bedrooms.

"10!" Corinne screamed. Mikey turned to you.

"9!" You heard people chanting in the background, but your focus was on Mikey.

"8!" He stepped closer to you.

"7!" You closed the gap between your bodies.

"6!" He smiled.

"5!" You smiled back.

"4!" You bit your lip, wondering what would happen.

"3!" He took a long breath.

"2!" Just as the party-goers screamed '1', he pushed his lips onto yours, and as people were screaming about the new year, you were kissing your new boyfriend.
