Crazy in Love

Chapter 1

I lay focused on the different patterns on my ceiling. It seems that every time I look up there is another pattern just waiting to be found.

My phone buzzes softly, it's Job. I sit up and slide my finger over my phone answering the call.

"Maria! Please tell me you're coming out with us tonight, you promised." I tilt my head back and let out a groan in annoyance.

"Do I have to Job, you know how I feel about parties. Plus nobody is going to want me there anyways." He sighs on the other end of the line, I close my eyes and take in the awkward silence before me. I glance at the clock it reads 6:27. "Alright fine I'll go but I'm taking my car because if I want to leave I'm not waiting up for you guys".

"Okay fine, it's at Justin's house alright? See you then. Love you!" I sigh in discomfort and get up out of bed and trudge over to the shower. I strip down and get in feeling the cold but soon warm water surround my feet.

I step out of the shower and walk into my room thinking about Justin. Why would Job invite me to go to a party when he knows he'll be there. Seriously him of all people. I sigh and get into some dark jeans, I pull my drawer open and take out a fancy white shirt and a black blazer. I look in the mirror, after doing some odd poses I walk out of my room satisfied. As I walk down the stairs I text Job that I'm on my way out.

"You look nice" I look up to see my mom doing the dishes. I smile walking over and giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Job invited me out to a party" I say shrugging, she nods and continues rinsing the plates. "I want you home no later than 11 ok baby? You have school tomorrow don't forget." I nod and give her a hug. I grab my keys and walk out. "Maria baby! Try and have fun alright?"

I walk outside and get into my car. Alright Maria you can do this it's just a party, I think as I head off.

Feeling my phone buzz I glance over to the passenger seat, Job calling. Again.

"Hi Job, I'm here already just trying to find a spot to park alright? I'll be inside in a sec."

I hang up quickly so I don't have to listen to him complain. Ok Maria enough driving around the block, get in there. I slowly pull into a spot and park, I sit hesitantly for a second and then get out. I start towards the door but before I could even get on the patio I feel myself being pulled into a bush.

"It's about damn time Maria, and of course you're dressed like that."

Offended I look down at my outfit and shrug. He takes my hand and leads me to the backyard.

"Just in case something like this happened! Go and try it on so we can get there already."

I groan grabbing the dress walking back to my car and changing. Holy shit leave it up to Job to find me the shortest and tightest dress in this whole universe. After a while of adjusting in discomfort, I stepped out of the car to an impatient but mesmerized Job.

"Oh. My. God. Mars you look fucking hot!" He claps and hands me black heels to match.

"Where would I be without you?" I ask annoyed as he shines a smile and takes my hand pulling me deeper into the crowd. "And you're sure I can't just stay in the car?" I ask in efforts to get out of this bullshit last minute. "Here drink this because there's no way I'll be able to deal with you all night with that attitude" he laughs handing me a drink.

I soon notice almost everyone looking at me. I hate when people pay attention to me, which was part of the reason I really didn't want to go tonight. At school I try my best to be as unnoticeable as possible and for the most part it works.

"Hey Job why is everyone looking at me?" I ask shyly as we finally get near a couch. I sit still taking in everything in front of me.

"Seriously Maria? You look sexy as fuck! I thought I told you that already. Oh my god hold on boo I see a cute guy. Be right back! Or not I don't know yet."

I laugh watching him walk over to some guy and work his magic. Sometimes I wonder how me and him became best friends considering we're complete opposites. I take a sip out of my cup and cough, ew what the fuck Job?

I reach my hand into my purse trying to find gum and quick as possible setting the cup down on the couch. I look up to call for Job, scanning the room my attention goes else where. Justin. Justin Bieber. Why is he looking at me!? Do I look weird? I knew I shouldn't have worn this dress. I sigh running my hand through my hair quickly. Our eyes lock and I gaze at his figure leaned up against the door frame past the crowd. People start crowding in front of us ending our staring session.

I adjust trying to find him again but he's gone. I sigh and take another sip of this horrid drink in hopes that I'll forget everything that just happened. I cringe at the bitter taste.

"Not much of a drinker are you?"

I look up to see Justin smirking down at me trying to drink whatever the fuck this is. "May I sit?" he asks politely as I nod quickly, I move over giving him more room. I stare at him enchanted by his beauty. He shows no expression as he takes my body in as well. Our eyes meet again before he quickly broke the awkward but beautiful silence. "You look great" I look down at my thighs blushing not able to get words out. "You alright?" he asks smirking, I nod again still unable to speak. I reach for my cup again but he interrupts taking the cup out of my hand. "Here let me get you something a little more tasteful" he says before standing up and disappearing in the crowd. I breathe deeply feeling like I was going to pass out. I take off my heels and run out of the house into my car and quickly driving away. What was that Maria?

Alright there's the first real chapter I hope you guys like it. ☺️
