“I…I don’t know where he is.” I admit. Every part of me wants to go search for Mark, but I’m done chasing him around. He clearly doesn’t care where I am, so I’m going to have fun without him.
I finally look back at Scotty, who is starring at me with a worried face.
“Hey I didn’t mean to upset you.” Scotty lies. He did mean to upset me, but he’s just feeling guilty. I don’t mind though. Scotty is not a concern of mine at the moment. Without saying another word, I walk away from Scotty. He doesn’t chase me.
I wander alone for a bit before seeing boys I know sitting in a corner u-shaped booth.
“May I join you guys?” I ask innocently, leaning against the booth.
“KIMMY” One guy yells. It’s Mikkel Bang. The beautiful blonde Norwegian snowboarder. He’s good pals with Mark and Craig. I lean over and give him a hug. The other guys say hi too.
It takes me a moment to notice who is sitting across from me in the booth, Stale Sandbech. I get the butterfly feeling in my stomach instantly.
His blue eyes are hard to see under his hat, but I can feel him looking at me. He has a cool smirk on his face. He’s always so cool. I’m in awe of his stunning face, but I look away from him so he won’t notice my attraction.
Stale and I kissed once. I had been crushing on him for years and then at one of Mark’s parties, Stale noticed me. I was so happy, but of course that was the same time I realized I loved Mark. Stale wasn’t bitter about me dating Mark like Scotty was...or is, and that always bummed me out. I don’t know why.
“How you’ve been, Keeks?” Mikkel asks, taking my attention off Stale. “Here have a shot.”
“Thanks, Mikkel.” Everyone in booth takes a shot. I’m feeling really drunk now.
“Where’s your boy?”
“No idea. I’ve been wanting to dance ALL night, but I can’t find Mark.” I say, making an exaggerated pouty face.
“Ya know what? I want to dance, too.” Mikkel says.
“Me too.” I hear Stale says. We all exit the booth and head towards the dance floor. Mikkel leads and I grab his hand so we don’t get separated. Stale is following close behind, I reach for his hand so we won’t lose him either. I look at him quickly and give him a little smile.
