I'm glad I got Mae out of her hiding spot and to engage in normal teenage things. The party is in full swing, people dancing, drinking and sucking face, I see a few girls in the corner attempting to flirt with Finch, pushing their boobs together and smiling so hard that I imagine it must hurt their cheekbones. I can't exactly judge them though, I'm ashamed to admit I've used my flirtation skills to get things I want, how else am I going to get out of a speeding ticket? or get a free drink? Totally out of the topic but a wink does the job too.
Anyways back to Mae I can't do much to help her but at least I can help her to be a normal teenager.
"So Mae, how about we find you a boy to distract you?" I say mischievously, I doubt Mae has ever gone past first base with a boy, but now is as good a time as any to start.
"AAAAAAAAAA what now?" Mae freezes her eyes wide.
"A boy! You don't look that bad, so it shouldn't be that hard, just look around and tell me who catches your eye and I'll set you up, how does that sound?"
"Well I mean I don't know anyone " she says nervously tugging at a fingernail.
"That's where I come in, to guide you, make sure you don't go with those dorks standing beside the stereo, I know they might look cute and all but trust me they're total freaks, the one with the beanie wears it all year round and yes even the summer. The second one is supposed to cry any time he gets further then first base, if he's lucky enough to get a girl he Looses her after the first date if it even gets to that. The guy beside him is Paul and yes he has a nice ass but don't be fooled by that, he's a total weirdo, as in he has a fingernail collection level of weird! So the ass is just pleasure for the eye. Make sure you Stay away from the whole football team, total jerks they're only with a girl just to sleep with her and then bye bye."
"Ok so far I'm getting is that all the guys in our school suck? So why must I get with any of them?" Me says raising an eyebrow.
"Well most of them are, but there is a rare few that are adequate enough to be seen with, it's just tracking them down that's the problem."
I grab Maes arm and lead her to the kitchen, before we get there I feel Mae pulling me back and leaning in to tell me something.
"Em, Nina? who is that creep looking through the window?" she says looking horrified.
I can't help but burst out laughing.
"Aahhhh yes that's Richard, no one knows what's wrong with him, he is as you said a total creep! just ignore him that's what we all do and if he tries to talk to you in school, walk away or people will see you as one of his kind! Will you stop staring back at him, you'll encourage him."
We walk hastily away from the window and I lean up against a counter in the kitchen.
"Ok, see any one with any promise?"
I ask looking around."Uh.....What about that blonde guy over there?" Mae says unsure of herself.
"That's Finn Murdock" I sigh " sadly he's batting for the other team if you know what I mean."
Mae nods slowly and scans the room.
"What about him?" She asks motioning towards the spawn of Satan himself.Finch leans casually up against a door frame, he's surrounded by a group of friends and a few desperate freshman that think they stand a chance with him. He catches Maes eye and winks at her, I see Mae blush beside me.
