I stare at him from across the room.
He's laughing about something one of the boys said and I can't help but smile at his happiness.
Fiddling with the hem of my new dress I look over to Sadie sitting next to me whispering something inaudible to the cup in her hands. Shaking my head I avert my eyes back to the boy I've been friends with for years.
I watch as he pushes himself off the couch and makes his way across the floor, past everyone to stand in front of me with a red cup in his hands.
'Hey Mills' he slurred his words. Biting my lip I slightly laugh at his voice. He looks me up and down and holds a hand out, slowly I take it and Sadie winks at me and then bursts into laughter at herself her ginger hair shaking around her shoulders. He guides me closer to the rhythm of the blaring music and the flashing red lights.
The music takes over and I swing my hips carelessly to the lyrics. Smiling I turn around to see him staring at me with a gleam in his dark eyes. 'Watcha lookin at Finnie Boy' I question walking through the people towards him. 'You' he whispered into my ear and I can feel my stomach tighten at his words.
