 I go back, and start to talk to Katie and Vanessa. We are talking and randomly a dude comes up and asks Katie to dance. She says yes, leaving just Vanessa and I.

I don't mind though, cause Vanessa is really fun to talk to. Vanessa and I are talking, when the twins walk up.

Grayson walks up to us and says, "Hey, Van." Then he notices, that I am standing there. "Oh and you must be Skylar." He says, smirking at Ethan. I wonder how he knows who I am?

Ethan looks away and I can tell he is blushing.

"Yep, that's me." I smile towards the twins.

"I wanna dance," Grayson whines, "Van, will you dance with me?"

She was about to accept, when I give her a look. There is no way I am letting her leave me alone. And she knows that, too.

"But what about Skylar?" Vanessa asks.

"She could dance with me... if she wants to." Ethan pipes up.

"Yeah, sure." I say. He probably just didn't want me to feel left out.

We all move to the pit and start to dance. I was having a great time. For about two songs we were jumping and dancing, and then a slow song comes on.

Well this is awkward. Are we supposed to slow dance?

Out of the corner of my eye I can see all the couples pairing up, including Grayson and Vanessa.

I look at Ethan trying to pick up on any signals, but I can't. So I just kind of smile when we make eye contact, and look down at my shoes.

"Hey so if you're not comfortable, we can just go get a drink or something." He says. I have no clue what he wants so I don't know what to do. I decide we should probably just go get drinks.

"Yah, I am pretty thirsty anyways." I say and look away.

He starts walking, so I follow him. He takes me in the kitchen, and there are only about 2 other people in there.

He turns to me and says, "What do you want to drink?"

"I'm lame, so I just have some water." I say.

He chuckles and says, "You don't drink?"

"No not really." I say with no shame at all. Honestly, I don't care if he thinks I am weird or lame cause I don't drink.

"Yah, I don't drink much either ." He smiles and starts to pour two cups of water.

He hands me the water cups and we walk to the area where everyone was standing.

Ethan says something and I can't hear him over the music.

"What?" I say

I could see his lips move but I still couldn't hear him.

"What? I can't hear you." I say again.

This time he takes a step towards me, and leans in. I instantly get butterflies in my stomach. I can't help it. I mean it doesn't mean that I have feelings for Ethan. Right?

I mean I just met him; it is probably just cause he is hot to be honest.

"Why don't we just get out of here?" He says. His question shocked me but I was ready to leave anyways. I mean I am getting tired of standing and hot, and it is just too loud in here.

"Yeah, sure." I pull out my phone and text the group.

Me: I am going outside with Ethan. Don't worry about me.

I don't get a reply, which I didn't expect one since they are all dancing.

I follow Ethan outside.

"Wanna just sit here?" He says, motioning to a swinging bench thing on the front porch.

There is a group of people sitting in a circle on the front lawn talking, while there are two other people that are sucking each other's faces of on the other side of the yard. Akwardddddd

"Yeah, that's sounds good to me." I say giving him a smile.

As we sit down Ethan says, "So what brings you to New Jersey?"

"My brother is starting college down here so we moved to be closer to him." I say. This isn't a lie, it just isn't the whole truth. I honestly just met Ethan and we are obviously not close enough to get into my past. I haven't even told the girls yet.

"Oh, sick. I mean Jersey is small, but I love it. Just something about it, makes me happy. Ya know?"

"Yah, I get it. I mean I've been here for three weeks and I am already so much happier then I was in L.A."

"That's good! So do you have any siblings?"

Ethan and I talked all night long. We just clicked. The conversations we had just went natural and weren't forced. There wasn't one moment of awkward silence, which has got to be a record for me. We talked for about 2 hours and I got to know Ethan pretty well.
