Soul Searching

Chapter 8

We finally arrive the place...

The manor was really big and there are people who are preparing some things for the party. I can't believe that I'll be in this kind of party. Bryan and I headed at the back to prepare in the kitchen. I help Bryan unpack the materials and help him cook as well. Soon the party started. I took a peek at the door to see what's going on, and everyone seems to be party are having fun. It looks like they enjoy the food that we prepare.

"Wow! This party looks so fun. There's a DJ, fun people to hangout and other stuff for a cool party...." I said as I continue peeking through the door. Bryan wipe his hands with a clean cloth. "Yeah they sure know how to have a cool party." He said and joined me to peek at the door. "But you need to be careful with this rich people. They always look down on us commoners. They always act like they're better than us." Bryan mumble. I look at him and he seems a bit upset. "Hey not all rich people do that. There are some people who are really a sweetheart." I said to him. "Really? Who?" He ask. And so I told Bryan all about Dylan. He seems interested when I talk to him about Dylan, but later when I told him that Dylan is my internet boyfriend his face got a little upset. "This Dylan guy seems nice. I'm happy for you to have met him. And I hope you'll meet him someday. Just be careful okay." Bryan said as he place his both hands on my shoulders.

"Thanks for worrying, but I don't think Dylan would even hurt my feelings." I replied to him and gave him a smile. We look at each other's eyes and it seems like everything was so quiet. Then all of a sudden someone burst into the kitchen.

"Melody! Finally! I finally found you sis."

Bryan and I turn to the door and saw Jessica. "What are you doing sis? Hurry and come with me." Jessica seems to be in a hurry or something. "What's wrong?" I ask her. "You Dylan guy is here in this party. I thought you want to meet him?" She ask as she crosses her arms. My face got bright red when I heard that Dylan is here. A lot of things entered my mind like how should I greet him, or should I wear a better clothes, or....

"Melody! Hey Sis!" Jessica shouted and I snap out of myself. "Well? Do you want to meet him or not?" She ask me and look into my eyes. "Yes of course I want to meet him." I said.

She grab my hand and pulled me out of the kitchen. "Hurry up." Jessica keep pulling me and I didn't have time to say good bye to Bryan. I turn around to look at Bryan, but I couldn't see him anymore. I guess I'm too far away from the kitchen. There were so many people in the manor it was so wild and crazy in here. I look around and the place seems to be a really cool party. There were many people that we passed by and Jessica's hand slip off. I tried to look for her but I can't see her. I turn and turn and couldn't see any familiar face. I walk back a little bit and bump to someone on my back. "Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." I said and turn around. "It's no trouble at all." I heard a voice that sounds familiar. When the person turn and face me I realize that person was Olive.

"Melody?!"

"Olive?!"

"Aaahhhh!!" We both scream and hug each other. I missed her even though we just met in the plane she seems to be a really kind and cool girl. "Oh My Gosh! What are you doing here?" Olive ask. "I work in a restaurant and this place need a catering. How about you? What are you doing here?" I ask her back. "Well my friends ask me to come even though this is my ex's party." She rolled her eyes and crosses her arms like she was forced to come here. I giggle a little bit and I still can't believe that Olive and I would see each other again.

"MELODY!!" I heard a shout by the right side of the room. "Oh I have to go. My stepsister is looking for me. I'll talk to you later okay." I said to Olive and wave goodbye to her. She wave back as I ran towards to the voice that I heard. I finally found Jessica who seems to be really mad. "Where the HELL have you been?!!" She ask. But just before I was about to explain she cut me. "You know what never mind. Just go in there." She said and point outside the back garden on the manor. The garden was so huge and beautiful. I can't believe rich teenagers doesn't admire this, instead they just party.

"What am I supposed to do there?" I ask her and Jessica rolled her eyes.

"Look over there." She pointed to some guy. When I look at the guy's face my eyes widen, and I couldn't believe my eyes. "D-Dylan..."
