The party looked amazing. Everyone seemed like they were having a great time; some students were dancing, others chatting nonstop, crystal glasses with coloful drinks hanging from their hands. The place looked absolutely stunning. Circular tables were distributed around the garden in a perfectly organized sequence; the trees and bushes were decorated with delicate lightbulbs, and flowers were splattered everywhere, which made the whole setting ignite with life.

I, on the other hand, wasn't having so much fun. In fact, I was rather bored. But, hey, can you blame me? All my friends had ditched me for their boyfriends, and as I hadn't brought a date with me, I was stuck sitting on an empty table, watching them sway their bodies to the rythm along with their partners.

I snorted impatiently. I had to admit I was pretty shrouded, but it's not like I didn't ask for it. In fact, I was actually expecting to end up by myself. But it wasn't my fault nobody asked me to go with them to the dance. And yeah, I know what you're thinking: if you would've wanted a date, you should've asked someone yourself. Well, you're right. But why would I need a date, right? I've never needed one, and that's not gonna change today.

I was distractedly humming the song that was being played through those huge stereos when the weirdest thing happened.

"Hey", spoke a male voice, bringing me back to planet Earth.

I looked up and saw Shawn Mendes, a guy with whom I shared no classes with, staring down at me with a huge smile plastered across his face.

My eyes moved from left to right, scanning for any kind of sign I was being fooled around. But everything seemed normal, despite a rather hideous couple that was sharing saliva in what seemed like a very uncomfortable position. Nothing new, sadly.

"Hey", I replied, not letting my guard down.

"What are you doing here all by yourself?", he asked.

"Well, I don't have a date and my friends do, so..."

"Oh", he laughed. "I thought I was the only one."

I would've laughed too, but my surprise overcame the humor of the moment.

"You came here alone?", I asked, sounding more stunned than I intended. "I mean, didn't you ask anyone out?"

"Not really", he said.

We remained silent for a few awkward seconds. A slow song began playing on the distance.

"So, anyways, would you like to dance with me?", he asked with a hint of adorable shyness.

I considered my options. Saying yes could end up tragically, since coversing with new people wasn't exactly my thing, but if I said no, I would spend the rest of the night miserably.

I decided to go for it. "Okay."

I stood up from my chair, flattened my below the knee-length blue dress, and walked towards him. He offered me his hand and I took it hesitantly, unsure of what was going to happen next. He led me to the dance floor, where I recieved astonished looks from my girlfriends, and a few playful smiles.

My face heated up instantly with embarrassment, but he didn't seem to mind. Instead, he was smiling widely at me.

"May I?", he asked, gesturing to my waist.

I nodded, and he gently placed both of his hands on the small of my back. I tangled my arms around his neck awkwardly. We were now facing each other directly, which didn't improve my confidence at all. I looked down, avoiding his piercing eyes.

"You look amazing tonight", he said, his voice warm and sweet.

"Thank you", I replied, unsure of whether I should compliment him too. I opened my mouth to do so, but I got cut off.

"So, why didn't you bring anyone with you?", he asked.

"I don't know, honestly", I chuckled. "No one invited me, and I guess I wasn't really feeling like it either."

He nodded comprehensively and grinned. I finally dared to lock eyes with him, unable to contain my curiosity anymore. They were chocolate brown, with a hint of green. Beautiful.

"Why didn't you?", my mouth spilled. "I mean, it's not like anyone would've rejected you or anything."

What the hell was I saying?

"I don't know", he answered with none further detail. I decided to shut my mouth and not push him for answers.

We danced in silence for a while, feeling the music guiding each of our moves. Second by second, the distance between us seemed to shrink. I could almost feel his body against mine. Almost.

"Are you having fun?", he asked with a big smile.

"Surprisingly, I am."

I couldn't help but smile as well. His brightness was so contagious.

"I'm very happy to hear that, Miss", he said playfully, and took me by surprise when he pulled ourselves apart and spinned me around, his hand always firm and steady against mine.

I laughed the most genuine of laughs. I was, in fact, having a wonderful time. My mood seemed to lit up around him, and everything else felt distant. The party, my friends... Everything. It was just Shawn and I.

He closed any distance between us in a smooth movement. Our faces were inches apart. I held my breath, and my heart started beating at an alarming speed.

I looked down to his lips instinctively. They looked soft and rosy. Taunting.

I couldn't resist it anymore, and I noticed neither could he, because we smashed our lips together at exactly the same time. He tasted like chocolate, which reminded me of his beautiful hair. I slid my hands behind his neck and tangled my fingers between its curly locks.

I couldn't describe what I was feeling. My whole body was trembling with instense fury, and infinite rushes of electricity seemed to pop and burn every inch of my skin. How come I never even noticed this guy, who was now driving me crazy?

He pulled away from me gently to face me. With a strange mix of disappointment and shock, I stood still. He lifted up my chin, and I was left with no choice but to stare right into his bright eyes.

"Wanna know the real reason why I didn't bring anyone with me tonight?", he asked with a naughty smile plastered on his face.

I couldn't talk, so I stared at him in anticipation, waiting for an answer.

"I wasn't interested in none of the girls", he spoke. "But I have to admit you've changed my mind."
