grace pov

As i got out of bed after hearing my name called my phone pinged , i got a text

meet you in ten coming over need to tell you something urgent.........Sarah.

i read the message and went to my mum which was in the kitchen.'yes mum' 'what?? i didn't call your name'      'oh i thought i heard you call my name' and then the door bell rang 'ill get it ' i screamed and ran to the door as fast as i could i was so worried and wanted to hear what Sarah had to say. 'hey can we go to your room' ' yeah '

as we got to my room i shut the door 'theres a party on tonight'.., 'is that the news?'...... 'yes and your coming '   my mum walked into the room 'is everything alright' ............... ' yes Mrs.carter is grace allowed to follow me to a party tonight ' ............... 'as long as you help her clean her room'

     my room took ages to clean up and straight as we were done we went over to Sarah's.she hated all my clothes so she thought is would be a good idea to idea for me to wear hers.................That night i was wearing a pink Ruffle Vest Dress which was above my knees with peach high heels and Sarah wore a purple Roma Pleat Skirt Dress with blue heels and a hand bag. i didnt bother to bring a hand bag so i just walked behind her.i was really good on walking at high  . i took one of Sarah's jackets in case it rained. we did each others hair and it took ages. it was 6 o'clock now and the party would have started ...i said my Good byes to my mum telling her i would be home in  the  morning and got a few clothes.........                                                                                                    

    i drove us to the party and on the way i stooped to get a drink almost every one that saw gave me a thumbs up,whistled, smiled or winked it was gross because they were about 30 or something and i was 17.we drove for about an hour before we reached the hotel.... it was really fancy and huge and you could hear the music from half way across the field. we got out of the car and someone took our car and drove it to the car park for us..before we walked in Sarah had sprayed us both with perfume and we smelt like two people who had just jumped into a pool of perfume,but i didn't mind. as a door man opened the door the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other .we walked  into the hall and everyone was there dancing and having such a good time. me and Sarah were texting each other because of the noise of the speakers.

'there's the Jake the boy you like she said to me',.......... i glanced at him and he was staring at me.he smiled i smiled and looked at Sarah she gave me an awkward look and she pulled me towards him as we were dancing she pushed me into him......

his lips were moving but i couldn't hear what he was saying.he held my hand and took me out in the back.Sarah gave me a thumbs up as i followed him outside.

'happy birthday'  'thanks' then he smiled there was something about his smile that made me smile.was his dimple or could it be his crystal blue eyes that made him attractive.the moon was shining and all i could hear was the music and the water coming from the water wall.i got lost in his blue eyes and found my lips touching his him.It felt wrong in a way.but i just let him kiss me for a few seconds.I pulled back said i was sorry and half ran away .i heard him call my name but i just ignored him.I went inside.

Jake's pov

was it something i said well i didn't really say..''Grace please come back'' but she didn't she just walked straight inside trying not to look back into my party i looked for her everywhere but i couldn't find her anywhere.......I was sorry and i needed to tell her...

Grace POV

oh my god i just kissed the guy i liked and i ignored him whats wrong with me i was telling Sarah as we were walking to the toilets ....''it doesn't matter you still have all night to do something about it.''

in the toilets i fixed my lipstick which was smudged i put on some more mascara and walked out with Sarah. we walked back into the party ,the music had lowered down now because most of the people in the party had booked a hotel room. it was 12 o'clock and i went to go get a drink.Jake came up to me asking me what he had done. 'i told him that it was nothing and he took my hand and a slow music came on.he started dancing and held me in real close.......after about 30 minutes.Sarah had come over to me and told me she had book us a room and gave me the other key. 'the number of our room is 52 '. me and Jake danced and danced and it was really nice most of the songs were slow until our last song and everyone had left.he showed me the footsteps and we were like the perfect couple. he leaned in and kissed me and i kissed him back.his soft lips and nose touched against mine.....the song was over and we moved away from each other...... we went to get a drink he walked me over to my room.it took ages to get to the 5th floor.... the the elevator i was looking at him and as soon i could see him turn his face i would turn mine looking like nothing was happening.....we got to the 5th floor and looked for room 52 i didn't want to leave him but i was to tired to stay up.so  i opened the door and said my good byes to him.....
