3 dresses later and I was already regretting my decision I agreeing to this party, but there was no going back now. Jace already told everyone about it and he managed to get a keg this afternoon. How? That's a mystery to you and I both. Zoe and Amber shook their head in disapproval at the dress I had on. Let's just say dressing up wasn't what I was best at.
"What about this one?" Amber suggested as she pulled out the red skin tight dress out of my closet.
I shook my head, "No, thank you!" I rejected. That was the dress my Aunt Mary left for me before she passed. She used to be a stripper.
"What? Why not? That's perfect!" Zoe exclaimed.
I don't know how it happened but somehow they both managed to convince me to try it on. I frowned at my own reflection, the dress was awfully short and it was almost impossible to breathe in it. Zoe and Amber on the other hand, beamed with excitement.
"You have the most amazing body." Zoe complimented.
I shook my head in disagreement, in all honesty I didn't see what was so special about my body. My mom always told me that my body was one of the best she's ever seen, which is saying something since she works in the fashion industry.
"Stop! You look great." Amber said interrupting my thoughts. I let out a sigh and just rolled my eyes. I knew denying it wasn't doing me any good, it was obvious that they weren't going to let me wear anything else.
Zoe and Amber then moved on to doing my hair and my make up, Zoe decided to straighten my hair and Amber did what she called the 'natural sexy face' look.
"You look beautiful." Amber beamed.
Zoe turned me around, allowing me to get a good look at myself in the mirror. At first I couldn't believe that it was me who was in the mirror, but after finding my beauty mark on my neck I had no other choice but to believe it was me.
"Wow," Was all that came out of my mouth, causing Zoe and Amber both to chuckle a bit.
"Now you see what we mean." Zoe said. I nodded as a smile appeared on my face. I couldn't believe the transformation that happened within an hour. Thanks to my friends, I felt some sort of confidence tonight.

It was 10 pm now and the people were already beginning to file in. I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous, I wasn't necessarily the schools loser but I wasn't your typical party girl either. I made my towards the kitchen where I was hoping no one had entered, I already gave them my house for the night they aren't about to take my food too.
Walking in to kitchen there was only one unfamiliar face scanning my refrigerator.
"May I help you?" I asked the stranger. The guy came out from behind the refrigerator door and revealed himself to me and I swear my entire world stopped. He might be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the world. Olive skin, blue eyes, and jet black hair, oh and let's not forget his muscles, oh lord Jesus his muscles.
He smiled as he shut the refrigerator, "I was just looking for something else to drink, I'm not much of a beer guy." He told me.
I snapped back into reality and smiled back at him, "I think Jace put some punch on the table for non-drinkers." I said trying to not think about how cute it was that he wasn't a beer guy.
For some unknown reason he found that funny, "It's spiked." He finally said.
I rolled my eyes and nodded in understanding. I wanted to go find Jace and punch him in the throat, but I held myself back and decided to stay here talking to the cute guy instead. I pushed my self up on to the counter and sat there just watching him.
"Your Ana-belle? Right?" He asked seeming unsure of my name. I didn't expect him to know who I was so that fact that he got the Ana part right surprised me.
"Anastasia," I corrected feeling a little awkward. "And you are?"
"Derek. I'm kind of hurt that you didn't know that." He joked placing his hand on his heart.
I laughed, "Was i supposed to know that?" I questioned.
"I mean I am the captain of the softball team." He answered, this time I wasn't sure if he was seriously expecting me to know who was.
"Oh, well I don't really keep up with the schools 'it' people." I stated
He chuckled and took a sip of the water bottle he got from the refirgator. "You're different Anastasia, you are different." He told me. It kind of made me worry, was that a good thing or a bad thing?
"Um, thank.. I think.." I responded.
"Don't worry, I like different." He reassured me adding a wink at the end. Ok, don't judge me but i was blushing, hard! There was no stopping my cheeks from burning any further. "You're cute when you blush." He added causing me to blush more, not that I thought it was possible, but I actually felt like a tomato by this point.
"Thanks." I repeated trying not to make a fool of myself.
"So what this party thing your idea?" He asked, but something told me he already knew the answer to that.
I chuckled and shook my head, "No, it was Jace, I just agreed to it," I answered. "Stupid, I know, but it was an in the moment decision, I obviously wasn't thinking straight."
"Well, on the bright side, one good thing came out of having this party." He said as he walked towards me.
I scoffed and l turned my gaze to him, "And what's that?" I asked completely oblivious to what was happening.
"You met me." He simply replied placing his hand on my lap. Just in case you were wondering, a tomato was not even close to how my cheeks looked like right now. I smiled as he began to lean in closer.
Now I know that since you all assume I'm this huge outcast that I haven't had a boyfriend, or a first kiss, but I have, and I know the signs of when a kiss was about to come. The question now was, should I let it happen? I mean after all this is a party and in parties there are kisses, but then again I'm always the one to judge those that hook up with random people they just met, it would be completely hypocritical of me to do the thing I make fun of everyone for.
Well, by this point it was to late, he'd already pressed his lips against mine, I sat there still for a second and then decided to just live in the moment and kiss him back.

Teen FictionJace never fazed me, I had no interest in him like every other girl in the school did. I guess that's what he found so interesting me, it was certainly not my good looks or slutty personality, both of which I did not have. Although my mom would beg...
