It wasn't going to be easy , I knew, but somehow I had to confront him. I took a deep breath and pushed open the doors. It seemed as if the whole room had noticed my entry and everyone turned in my direction. I began to feel my cheeks turn a bright red, as I descended the stairs. I was just beginning to search for him, when he turned around. He was standing at the base of the banister, dressed to KILL, in the hottest tuxedo I have ever seen. Okay, maybe it just looked really hot cause it was on him. I watched his eyes as they surveyed me from head to toe, widening ever so slightly, on locking eyes with me. Seeing him look into my eyes, I couldn't help break the eye contact by looking down and smiling. I had just reached the base of the staircase, when I tripped nearly falling face-first onto the polished floor. On seeing my momentary lapse of grace, he began to smirk and turned away. Burning with embarrassment, I lifted my chin and strutted away with what was left of my dignity.

I can't confront him NOW!, I thought, while walking away, Especially after what just happened. The whole evening, my mind underwent mental conflict, on whether I should speak to him or not. Adding to this my EVER supportive friends , Charlie and Anna, gave me no advice whatsoever.

Chase 'Danger' Rivers got his name from when had been lucky enough to live through an electrocution, when he had touched a five-hundred volt cage that very clearly stated 'DANGER' ,but he had very conveniently ignored. He had the inane ability to charm a girl into making her feel like the most important person in the world. He also happened to be the co-captain of the football team at Oakridge High Schhol, and very much loved by 'his boys'. He seemed to be the epitome of Over All Awesome Smart Funny nearly twenty teenager. He just had one revoltingly terrible flaw- he had a thing for the sluts, but like every player, he never stuck around with them for very long.

What are you thinking? , I thought to myself. You know what he's like; Why do you even try?

Why shouldn't you try?, another part of me countered this logical part. So what if he's a senior and your a junior? You stand as much a chance with him as any of the senior girls do.

The inner conflict went on till finally the hormonal part of me prevailed an d I found myself walking towards him. He had his back facing me and it seemed as if he had just cracked the funniest joke of all time, because all his friends were rolling on the floor in peals of laughter.

"Oh hey, lookie who we have here.....", Chase's number two in command Cole Adams, said noticing my presence, and gesturing in my direction. Chase slowly turned and on seeing who I was, broke into a sideways smile. "Victoria right? What can I do for you?", Chase asked, his eyes observing my assets.

I opened my mouth......but no words came out!! I had thought of a million situations, in my head, of how I would confront him, but not in a single one of them, did he know who I was. I completely blanked out!! I literally did not have words.....
