Leap Of Faith

chapter 2

jas and I pull up at the gate of a huge, enormous mansio- palace.

"Uh are you sure we did not accidentally come to the royal palace?" I said, while gaping at the beautiful site.

Jas just giggles as she gets out of the car.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to change?" She said, eyeing what I'm wearing.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I raise my eyebrows at her.

I chose to wore a simple floral dress that ends perfectly at my knees. while jas on the other hand wore a black tight short sequence dress, with lace at the back, with extremely high but nice heels.

"Ehh... you know this a college party with hot guys and all and-" she started to say but I cut her off.

"I'm fine Jas .." I said, smacking her arm.

Yup! That's my mean as hell bestie.

We walk into the gate and behold a huge mansion; with sports cars, couples making out , guys smoking and drinking. At that moment I became nauseous.

Why did I choose to come?

"Its gonna be alright.. come on let's go in and get a drink" jas said.

I replied her with a simple nod. we made our way into the beautiful house. The closer we got, the more we hear the loud beats of the music.

Yeah maybe this was a bad idea, I'd be better off at home watching family guy. Finally, we reach the entrance and just as we step in I could already smell alcohol.

In the middle, contains boys and girls grinding against each other to the rhythm of the beat not caring about who is watching and who is not.

Another side, contains the usual arab guys taking shisha. while another side is just a small living room with a few people sharing PDA.

"I'm gonna go meet a friend,wanna come?" Jas asked, making me turn to to look at her. She already has friends?

"Nah you go I'm fine.." I lied, I just didn't want to be a third wheel. She nodded.

How could she already have friends? That's Jas for you, very nice, confident, friendly and social media freak with thousands of friends. I on the other hand, extremely shy, so not confident, anti-social. You could say I'm your typical only-crazy-with-my-bestie type of girl.

"Alright, if you need anything just call me, okay?" She said and I nodded. she began to make her way towards a group of people.

Okay, now I have to find a place to stay..

The dance floor? Shisha club? Or kissing booth?

Yeah I'll rather just walk around and explore a bit. I walk through the hallway trying to not look at couples sharing PDA. How can they do all that in public? I can't even hug a guy with two people watching.

Finally, I reach a door.Contemplating wether to enter or not. I gave up and opened it and the beautiful sight I saw, I will never forget. It was a beautiful garden, what made it even more beautiful were the fireflies making it look like a magical forest you see in cartoons or movies.

I stepped out more into the cold night, following the path in the garden that led to God knows where. I finally spot a bench made out of stone and sat on it, staring at the stars.

"Who are you?"

I turn to look at the owner of the deep voice. I turned around to see a guy with brown eyes, brown curly hair, sharp jawline, average in height and light pink lips.

No, he isn't cute or hot. He is way beyond that.

"Are you gonna talk or keep drooling?" He said jokingly, making me snap back to reality and touch my lips if I was actually drooling, luckily I wasn't.

"Sorry... I was just...walking and I saw this and I just...I'm sorry... I'll leave" I said, As I began to leave and then he pulls me back.

"No, it's okay.. what's your name"He asked, looking deep into my eyes but I don't look at his.

"Why?" I asked without thinking. I was a really paranoid girl.

"Not gonna tell?" He asked after a few seconds when I didn't answer.

"How about I call u hazel?" He said, catching my off guard.

"What? Why?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Well cause your eyes and hair" He replied, as he tucks a strand of hair at the back of my ear and I just stare at him. I felt like slapping his hands away but I can't.

"They're reddish-brown" I said.

That's hazel, stupid.

"Same thing" he laughed, and I looked down from embarrassment.

"You don't know who I am do you?"He said, while seating down on the bench, with his legs crossed, in a boyish way.

"No.." I replied, feeling guilty that I didn't ask.

"No wonder!" He said with a chuckle."No wonder what?" I asked him, sitting next to him.

"You see when I give a girl just a one second eye to eye contact they go crazy, why not you hazel?"He said, smirking and looking straight ahead.

" Who are you?"I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Yazeed..yazeed alhassan "He said proudly.

"Oh..cool" now I see why Jas was going crazy over him.

Rich boys: egotistical jerks who are full of themselves.

"Not all rich people are 'egotistical jerks" He said, smirking at me knowingly.

"Uh oh.. I said that out loud, didn't i?" I said, looking at the ground hoping it would swallow me.

"Why aren't you inside enjoying the party?" He changes the subject.

" Not my type of party" I said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

" hah I was shocked to see you here cause you look like the goody-goody type"He says smiling, showing off his cute dimples.

I just giggled and silently gazed at the stars. He's actually quite friendly. But then again, he must do this with alot of girls.

After a few minutes of comfortable silence, it suddenly got a bit cold making me use my hands to rub my exposed arms before I felt a jacket being placed on me and I turned to see him placing it on me.

"Here.." He said, and I couldn't help but smile.

"You're probably also cold... I don't want to make you sick" I said, as I removed it and handed it back to him, but he refused to collect  and placed it back on me.

"Take this as a Gift from me, hazel" he said, as he held it on me,so I couldn't take it off.

"You don't give strangers gifts" I stated.

"Yeah... but you give pretty girls" He said, with a sheepish smile that made me blush and look at my fingers.

"You're really cut-"

He was cut off by gunshots coming from the party and people screaming.
