DAYS OF SUMMER ( Either Moving On Or Giving Up )

Fourteen

"How many sleepless night

I have to bear."

-Summer Lucia's music piece page 13

The next day, the whole studio becomes crazy. It's an annual party in the company. It's a night party. With no grandpa around, I think the party is gonna be lit. So here I am, in the blue lacy dress grandma bought for me and my white balloon fur jacket.

But the shocker is Katherine Ann. She's back.

We're in the parking lot when I see Ren and Katherine Ann.

When I look at her, I have no words. She's so beautiful and hot. She looks so amazing in her red sundress. It's not showing anything other than her legs, unlike Dean Jeanne who always shows everything she has.

"Katy?" It's Jake. Of course they're friends.

"Jake!" she exclaims and her whole face lits up. "Who's this?" she asks her about me. For just one second, I can see her frown. She must love Jake. Or maybe has a crush on.

"She's Will's sister," Jake says.

"Oh, Summer!" she looks at Ren. "Why don't you tell me that your sister works here?"

"Just temporary," he says. "You looks beautiful, Yuka. Are you going with her?" he asks Jake.

"No, I'm going with Monet. Don't worry, Ren. I'll be fine."

I dash up and leave the three of them together. They must have history and I don't want to distract them.

Monet is waiting in stairs near parking lot. He smiles when he sees me.

"Hey, it's Monet. I get your number from a friend. Do you want to go to the party together?"

Then, just that's it, I agree. I want to explore a party with a boy I barely know. Isn't that youth?

"You look pretty," he says.

He's wearing all black. Black leather jacket. Black leather pants and even a black t shirt. It's not that I don't like his style. Black just reminds me of funeral.

It's depressing.

"Do you want a drink?" he asks.

"I don't drink," I say. "Thanks."

"Even a virgin mary?" he asks. "You'll love it."

"Never tried it before," I reply.

"Believe me, it's good," he assures me with a sexy smile?

I stare at the crowds. It's not a party if I don't feel it that way. I have to grow up and up for a challenge. "Sure, I'll take a glass of it."

Monet takes me to meet his friends, another fellow interns. They all seem decent, but they all are getting dozed. I take a sip of my drink. It's sweet. But I think Monet's friends are just not people I want to hang around in a party.

Monet is nice. He keeps asking if I like this or that. He includes me in every conversation, which is very nice. But he's keep drinking and I'm a little bit worried about him.

Just then, I see crowds are gathering in one spot. Monet's friends also want to see it, but they're too drunk to get up and see, and so is Monet.

I tip toe and see Ren and Jake are arguing and fighting.

Meanwhile Katherine Ann sits in the chair, helplessly. She seems drunk.

"FIGHT! FIGHT!" The crowds are chanting.
