Not So Bad

Friday Night

The rest of the week went by and then it was Friday.

I opened the front door after school and threw my backpack on the ground.

My brother was laying on the couch watching our favorite show, Psych.

I pulled his legs off and sat down next to him.

"What episode is this?" I ask.

"Eh it's just a rerun." Anthony said changing the channel.

I grabbed the remote out of his hand and change it back to Psych.

Later in the evening McKenna called me and said there was a party tonight asked me to come.

Once my dad came home and we sat down to eat I asked him, "So there's this party and I was wondering if I could go."

Anthony laughed, "You cannot go to that party, it's for juniors and sophomores only,"

I started to say I was a sophomore but he kept talking, "COOl juniors and sophomores. Plus most of them are jocks or cheerleaders."

Now that I think about it McKenna was a cheerleader.

My dad told me if I wanted to I could go and after dinner I ran up to my room to get ready.

I opened my closet and pulled out a short mint green dress. My mom had bought it for me for a 8th grade dance but I never wore it. Luckily I hadn't grown much since then and it still fit, even better than before.

I curled my hair and put on black flats them walked downstairs to wait for McKenna.

We were going to the party together and her mom was taking us.

They pulled into the driveway and I said goodbye to my dad.

McKenna opened the car door and I hopped in.

Once we arrive at the party I gasped. The house it was at was huge!

"Oh my god who's house is this?" I said getting out of the car.

McKenna came out after me, said gobo bye to her mom and closed the car door, "Brandi Hawthhorne's. She's a junior, head cheerleader, and she's rich. We used to be best friends in the first grade."

We walked up to the door and went in.

There was already so many people there and more were still arriving.

McKenna and I walked around talking to people and then she walked off to a group of girls I didn't know.

I didn't know many people at the party, I only had a few friends so far, so I just kind of stood there looking around.

I was in the kitchen getting a snack when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around and came face to well chest with a boy.

He looked down at me and smiled,

"Hey there."

His teeth were perfectly straight and so white. His eyes were blue like the ocean and seemed to twinkle in the light.

"Hi." I say looking up at him.

He's not crazy tall but enough I have to tilt my head a little.

"Your Melina right? I'm Brian. We have English and history together. I never got to introduce myself because you were always running off."

"It's nice to meet you Brian. Haha I'm sorry I wouldn't have ran off if I'd known you wanted to talk."

He chuckled, "Thats cool, I didn't really try that hard to talk to you. So are you enjoying the party?"

"Ya I guess, I don't really know that many people here so it's kind of awkward just standing around."

"Oh, well let me introduce you to some of my friends."

He and I walked around for awhile talking to his friends until he got distracted by one of them talking about basketball. So I decided to go and find McKenna.

When I was walking through the house I looked into the living room and saw Logan sitting on the couch next to a pretty blonde girl, I was guess it was Brandi. The next thing I knew he put his hands on her face and started kissing her.

My jaw dropped. I though he was single...I guess not. They stopped kissing and Logan got up, I was guessing to get a drink or use the bathroom. I just wanted to find McKenna and get out of there.

Logan walked towards me, I realized I was standing in front of the kitchen and before I could move he saw me, "Hey new girl."

I looked down at my feet, "Hey."

He put his hand under my chin and lifted it up so we were looking face to face, "That's better. Are you enjoying the party?"

"Yeah I guess so," I say, "Well I need to find my friend and go."

I started walking away and Logan grabbed by arm. I tried to shake it off but he held on.

He pulled me around, "Why are you leaving so soon. Did something happen?"

I couldn't tell exactly,but he actually sounded concerned, "No I'm fine, just tired. Now I need to leave." I pulled my arm away and went to find McKenna.

After I found her I said that I wanted to go home and she called her mom to pick us up.

We were walking outside and I saw Logan and Brandi on the stairs.

Brandi was up against the wall and Logan's hands were on her waist.

I looked away before they started to make out.

When I got home I headed up to bed because I was exhausted.

I brushed my teeth and put my hair into a ponytail then hopped on my bed.

Before I fell asleep I was on my phone looking at twitter.

It was all over, everyone was tweeting about the hottest new couple. The two most popular people in our school.

Logan and Brandi.

I stared at my phone and scrolled through the tweets.

When I couldn't take it any longer, I turned off my phone and went to sleep.

My last thought of the night was that my dream guy, was taken.
