Burn

Burn-2

...

It was a long, and awkward drive to Malissa's party.

For the whole time, I thought about what me and Jaden did in the house. I wasn't off of that thought for one

second. I was even making up scenarios about what would've happened if mom caught us.

She would probably plot how to get me and Jaden six feet under.

Mom pulls up to the large brick house, apparently Malissa's.

"Alright guys," Mom released a huge breath, "Have fun...be safe!"

Jaden slowly opens the door on his side. "Yes ma'am." He smiles, and glances at me. "Okay," I say softly. I open my door, and get out, shutting it behind me. I see Jaden doing the same thing, then he walks over to me. We both wave at my mom, but she lowers down the rear window.

"Don't do anything you're not suppose to!"

"Like we already didn't," I heard Jaden mumble. I slightly nudged him in the side. "Okay, mom." I said.

"Keep your phone on too!" My mom called.

I nodded. "Okay mom!"

Mom then smiles, and pulls up the window. We wave at her again, then she drives away.

I heard Jaden sigh beside me. "Wow."

I start to walk towards Malissa's house, trying hard not to look at Jaden. I felt so weird because of what just happened. Maybe if I even communicate with Jaden again, then I'll melt in the awkwardness.

But it felt so good...

It was a new feeling. Him on me...I was dreaming of that for the past weeks. I didn't know we were going to go that far..but I loved it.

"Nicole!"

I felt a pair of arms pulling me back abruptly.

"Hey!" I twirl around, and Jaden's behind me with a practical look on his face; almost puzzled. "You were about to trip, Nicole." He points to the steps that I wasn't paying attention to. I look, then giggle. "Oops..."

Jaden chuckles. "Thinking too much?"

"Aye!" I hit his chest, then hesitate. "..maybe."

Jaden moves closer to me, like he was going to keep whatever he was trying to say private. "I need to talk to you about earlier..before we get inside-"

"That's exactly what I was thinking about." I say, kind of blushing.

His eyes were glued on mine.

Man, he's serious.

"See-"

"HEEEEEEEY GUYS!"

Malissa's door was open, and her happy self skipped out. "Jaden! Nicole! HEY!" She ran over to me and hugged me tight, but not tight enough to spill the drink in her hand. She went over and hugged Jaden too.

"I haven't seen you guys in a week!" She exclaims. I nod, smiling.

"Well," she began,"Come in!" She skips back inside. Me and Jaden just stare at each other... like what are we getting into next?

So, basically the party is a club. A really explicit club to be exact. Everyone was drinking wine, beer, liquor, vodka, almost everything bad. Of course I didn't drink anything because...I'm not like that. I spot Jaden drinking a couple of shots but...that's him, I guess.

"Come on Nicole! Loosen up!" Says Malissa, who sways her way over to me. She accidentally bumps into someone, spilling something purple from her cup. She looks at me and smiles. "You don't want a drink?" She questions. I shake my head. "I'm good."
