Chapter Four

It was Jess's birthday and she was throwing a party at her mansion that night. She invited almost the whole school and I was damn excited as it was my best friend's birthday and my first high school party. School was fun and we all sang happy birthday for Jess like five year olds and she kept whining about us spoiling her new dress with all the cake we had put on her.

'So you coming to the party tonight' I asked Mike.

He hadn't been in school for the past three days as his grandmother was very ill and he had to go visit her.

'Umm I'm not sure. I'll try my best' he told me smiling.

'Okay. It'll be awesome if you come though' I told him hopefully.

'Yeah I'll try. Promise' he said sincerely and then we all went back home.

------------------------

It was almost 6.30 in the evening and I wasn't even dressed yet. I had one and a half hours to get ready so I ran towards my closet and went through my clothes for the hundredth time not able to decide what to wear. Finally I wore a black dress that reached my mid thigh and put on black stiletoes. I applied mascara,eye liner and a little make up on my face.

Cole was picking me up as Mike called me to inform that he wouldn't be able to make it. So when we pulled up at her mansion I gasped at the sight of her house. Man, it was so huge and beautiful. We walked in and were greeted by blasting music and then I spotted the birthday girl.

'Hey! Happy Birthday' I hugged her tightly.

'Thanks hun' she hugged me back.

'Hey Serah! You look beautiful' Jake told me grinning.

'Umm thanks Jake' I grinned back.

'Wanna have a drink' Cole asked taking my hand and pulling me towards the table filled with drinks without waiting for me to reply. I didn't say anything and just followed him. 

'I'll have an orange juice' I told him once we reached the drinks section.

He handed me the glass and we went back to join the rest of our group. Almost the whole school was present at this party but my eyes were only looking for one person. I couldn't see him anywhere and it had already been over an hour since we arrived. I couldn't help my curiosity anymore 'Jason aint here' I asked Cole trying to sound casual.

'Yeah he's here. Must be making out with some chick somewhere' he answered laughing.

I felt jealousy wash over me but then smacked my forehead. 'Why should I be jealous if he's with someone. He's not mine so why care about him' I told myself mentally and carried on talking to my friends. 

I was tired of dancing and went to sit down when suddenly I saw Jason coming towards me.

'Hey hotness' he said smirking and sat down right next to me.

'Hey' I answered not looking at him.

He scooted closer towards me and was just a few inches away making my breathing heavy.

'It'll be an honour to strip you out of this sexy dress,you know' he whispered sexily.

'What makes you think this poor pick up line of yours will work with me Jason' I snorted, annoyed.

'You're not the first one I'm using it on and believe me it's worked every time' he beamed with an evil grin plastered on his face.

'Just so you know,this kind of crap definitely doesn't work on me' I told him with a fake smile and got up to go.
