Old Flames

The New Beginning Pt. 2

Eliza invited me over to her place to get ready for the party we were planning on going to, so I packed up whatever I needed before she picked me up from my house. I quietly sat there on the passenger's side as she drove and the radio played music faintly in the background. The car stopped at a red light before she turned to look at me. "Did something happen?" She asked as she kept her eyes on me and I let out a soft sigh as I turned my head to look at her. "Alec and I broke up, but we're going to stay friends." I say softly and she frowns at me. "Why? What happened?" She asks as the light turns green and she starts driving again.

"We're just not interested in each other that way anymore."

"The sparks are gone.." She mumbles and I nod my head.

"But at least the three of us can still be around each other."

"It won't be awkward?" She asks and I smile as I shake my head.

"We literally took a nap together right after we broke up." I say and she chuckles as she shakes her head.

"That does sound like something you two would do." She said as we pulled up to the driveway of her house.

We made ourselves sandwiches to eat along with some chips before we started to get ready. She went to take a shower first since she takes longer than me to get ready, then I went to take a shower and washed my hair. I brushed and blow dried it, letting my natural brunette, wavy hair loose along with my bangs being straightened. I slip on a pair of black high waist skinny jeans, then a maroon colored crop top with long sleeves that shows my shoulders. For my make-up, I just put on a little bit of eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. I then slip on a pair of black, heeled ankle boots and my butterfly necklace to complete my outfit. Eliza wore a skin tight dress that was black along with black suede heels. Her hair was in a half up/half down style and her make-up was done with a smokey eye and red lipstick. She looked like a sexy vixen, while I looked basic, I guess; my style was way more innocent looking than hers. She asked to take a quick picture and we did on her phone before we left to go pick up Alec at his house.

By the time we got to Alec's house, it was already ten at night. He came out of his house in a short sleeved, camouflage button up shirt with jeans and Timberland boots. As soon as my eyes saw the boots, it reminded me of the guy I saw at the mall earlier. The image of him popped in my head and I bit my bottom lip as I looked down at my lap. "Alright! We all look hot!" Alec says as he gets in the back of the car. Eliza and I both chuckle at his comment as she starts to drive to the house where the party is at.

As soon as we arrived to the house, we could already feel the bass of the loud music that was playing inside and saw a bunch of people hanging outside the house with red solo cups in their hands along with a lot more people inside the house holding the same cups as well. The three of us got out of the car and I smile as I hear Spanish music playing. "I love it when a Hispanic person throws a party." I excitedly say and Eliza smiles at me. "I know, they play both English and Spanish music." She says. "The best kind of party." Alec says as he stands beside me and I smile at him. "Well, lets go!" Eliza says as she hooks her arm with mine and we begin to walk to the entrance of the house. Luckily, the house had a bunch of a.c.'s on along with the central air because the house was filled with a bunch of people smoking, drinking, playing games, dancing, and singing.

The same thing always happens when the three of us are at a party; Eliza goes off with some hot guy while Alec gets hammered, but he stays with me the whole night. Maybe it'll be a little different this time since Alec and I broke up, maybe he'll find some hot girl to be around, which I don't mind at all but that means I would be alone. "To the kitchen!" Eliza loudly whispers in my ear and I blindly follow her while Alec goes some other direction. Eliza immediately pours herself a drink that I don't know about then offers me some. I quickly shake my head and make a disgusted face at her. "Prude!" She jokingly says and I chuckle as I roll my eyes. The crowd starts cheering and I turn around to see some guy drinking from a keg as he's being held upside down. I sigh as I turn back around to see Eliza already talking to some hot guy. A small smirk appears on my face as I turn to leave the kitchen.

The Spanish song switches to an English song as I stand in the middle of the living room and I look around while everyone is dancing around me. Everyone from the school I go to was here along with some other people from other different schools. The song then changes to another Spanish song which I love, Ahi Eh by J Alvarez. A huge smile appears on my face as I immediately start dancing to the song, swaying my hips from side to side as my hair flies in every direction. I was always a good dancer, I always loved to dance, but I only ever dance at parties, I never really performed in front of a crowd.

I turn around and there he was, standing across the room, the guy from the mall. I immediately stop dancing as I watch him take a long drag from a joint. He didn't look as tan as he did before, maybe because he was in a bunch of shade. He was wearing a dark jean jacket this time with a white t-shirt, dark jeans to match with his jacket and black Timberland boots. My eyes immediately went to the tattoos that were peaking out of his sleeves on his wrists, it really was him. I slowly look up at his face and a loud gasp escapes my lips causing the people around me to stop doing what they were doing and check if I was okay. "Will?" I muttered underneath my breath as I stared at him.
