Come on! Come with me! Zander pleads.

I dont want to go to a party, you know thats not my scene.

Please? For me? He smiles at me giving me puppy dog eyes. I cant resist that face. I sigh.

Fine, I say exasperatedly. Ill go. He jumps up and hugs me.

I knew I was too irresistible! After all I am the starting quarterback. he says. Thanks, Lyss, you know youre my favorite. I furrow my eyebrows but shake it off. I only ever go to these parties because Zander would pressure the hell out of me if I didnt. Im not the party girl. I dont even know how I ended up with the starting quarterback. Lyss? Earth to Lyss, youve gotta get ready or well be late. He says.

Okay, Ill be ready in half an hour. I tell him. He leans over and kisses my cheek before walking over to my door. I should go and get ready too. He says.

Wait! Zander! What should I wear? He stops and smiles back at me before walking over to my closet. He pulls out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a maroon crop top sweater with holes in the shoulders. I go to grab my cowboy boots, but he stops me. He walks into the back of my closet and pulls out the shoes I wore to his junior prom. A pair of four-inch black pumps. I shake my head no. No No way am I wearing those. I say shaking my head.

Cmon, youd look hot. He says.

No. I pout.

Please for me, he says. I groan.

Ughhh, fine. I say taking the shoes. I push him out of the door and shoo him away. Go, go get dressed. He laughs and walks out of my room going out the front door.

LEAVE YOUR HAIR DOWN! he yells as he walks out. I sigh and walk into the bathroom with the clothes. I quickly strip and turn on the hot water. While I wait for it to heat up I put my long hair into a bun on the top of my head. I step into the shower and quickly wash my body before turning off the water and getting out. I wrap a towel around my body and step out of the bathroom. I walk over to my dresser and pull out my favorite black lace underwear and bra set. I walk back into the bathroom and slip into them before pulling on the skinny jeans. I slip on the crop top and finally the shoes. I take a deep breath and walk over to my vanity. I decide to leave down my natural straight hair, so I get to work on my makeup. I make sure I have a thin layer of foundation and its blended well before adding setting powder. Once thats done I do a smoky eye and some winged eyeliner. I put on maroon liquid lipstick and put that in my bag. I look at myself in the mirror and make a last-minute decision. I pull of the heels and jeans and grab my short skater skirt and nude pumps. I slip those on and walk down stairs to wait for Zander. Just as I reach the bottom step he walks into the house. He stops, staring at me.

Whoa, you look hot! he says, dumbstruck.

Thanks. I say blushing. I push a lock of my brown hair behind my ear and walk down to Zander. He pulls me into a kiss. His tongue presses against my lips, asking for permission. I deny and pull away. No, Zander. I say. Not tonight.

Why not babe? He asks.

Because I dont want to. He huffs and turns away walking to the car.

Prude. He mutters. He skips that passenger side and slides into the drivers seat. You coming? he asks, his tone impatient. Tears prick my eyes as I slide into the passenger seat. The drive is silent until I break it.

Where are we going again? I ask. He grunts.

Ryland Hunters place, why? He asks. I hate it when people do that. I wanted to know so I asked, why do I need to give you a reason.

Just wanted to know.

Mmhm. He hums. We ride the rest of the way in silence. When we get there, Zander walks away, going to find his friends. Leaving me alone with a simple. Dont do anything stupid. I feel alone and out of place over on the side while Zander goes along being the life of the party with his football friends. Thats when I see him.

Across the room Jace Dalton stands leaning against the counter. Staring intently at me. No, hes not looking at me. I tell myself. Youre delusional. Besides you have a boyfriend so what does it matter if he is? But he isnt. I discretely check behind me to make sure hes not staring at me and see a beautiful girl in a really short dress dancing behind me. I breathe a sigh of relief that it wasnt me he was staring at. I turn back around and find myself looking in his direction. He smirks at me and shakes his head. It looks like he was laughing at me. I quickly avert my eyes. I turn around and hop up to sit on the island behind me. I subconsciously turn my head his way again and this time we lock gazes. He starts making his way towards me. He reaches the other side of the room and positions himself between my legs, which are dangling off the counter.

Why were you staring at me? I ask him.

Am I not allowed to stare at a pretty girl? And while Im asking the questions. Whyd you look behind you when you caught me staring?

Because I didnt understand why youd be staring at me. I answer.

Just because youre dating Zander doesnt mean other guys cant stare at you. And frankly in my opinion Id rather you not be dating. Because its obvious to everyone the he just wants you for sex.

He does not! I yell.

Everyone but you. He wants you because he knows it will break you. And thats what he wants. A good fuck and a broken-hearted girl.

Goodbye Jace. I say walking away. Hes right. I know that Zander just wants me for sex. But Im not ready to admit to myself that thats all Ill ever be. A girl that everyone just sees as a cute innocent girl who needs to be stripped if her innocence. I choke back the tears and push through the crowd of people around Zander and his buddies. Can we go home? I ask as I get closer.

Again? Lyss. Why do you come to these things if youre just going to make us leave half an hour in? he asks exasperatedly.

Because you begged me to. I remind him.

You can always say no.

No, I cant, not with you pestering me. Can we please go? I ask again. He huffs, and nods annoyed.

Guys! I have to take Lyss home! he yells. He rolls his eyes and walks away. I follow him out, and my eyes catch Jaces as we leave. He grimaces and I walk past him knowing exactly what he was thinking.
