a new life

chapter five

All three of us were in the car on our way to the pool party. I had told my mom, and she seemed pleased that I was going to have fun. I was quite nervous as it was my first official party. Would there be alcohol, drugs. I really hope not because if the police come that'll look really bad on my record.

Maddie had let me borrow one of her bikinis. It was minuscule and red. I wasn't even sure if I would be able to fit in it, judging the lack of fabric.

We arrived at the place and it was just indescribable. First of all the house was huge and second of all so was the pool. When I compared it to our pool it made my pool look pathetic. It was decorated with exotic fruits and flower crowns. The music was blasting out of the speakers and everyone was smiling and having fun.

"Are you coming or what!!" squealed the girls. I realize that I had just been gawking at the place. 

The girls ran over to some boy and pointed over to me. The boy looked up and came over.

"So you're the one crashing the party huh," he said jokingly. His chest was bare muscly which was slightly disturbed me but I tried to ignore it.

"That'll be me," I answered in the same way.

"Well go get changed and have fun," he winked at me and went back to who he was talking to. He was tall and had blond curly hair. He had blue eyes that you could get lost in and his mouth formed the perfect shape.

We ran upstairs in the house to get changed into our bathing suits. I was feeling anxious because of how the bikini would look on me. All the other girls seemed to be wearing one but they all had bikini body's and perfect tan. I've never enjoyed exposing myself so this is quite a different side of me.

The girls quickly got changed and they looked just as good as the other girls. I wrapped a towel around my body feeling very self-conscious.

As soon as we got downstairs again the girls jumped straight into the water and started to splash each other. It definitely looked fun but I felt way to exposed. I decided to go look for something to eat or drink. When I finally found what looked like a bar, I grabbed a red cup and filled it with some sort of beverage that looked like punch. It shouldn't be alcoholic because we're all underage here. I took a sip and as soon as the liquid touched my lips I spat it out. It tasted disgusting. I must have been wrong after all.

"Are you spitting all over my floor?"

I turned around to see to who the voice belonged to. The boy from before appeared and he still had a bare chest.

"I just didn't expect it to be alcoholic that's all. I don't drink." I realized how dumb I just sounded. It's a party, for God sake, of course there's going to be alcohol.

"Well there's water in the kitchen if you like. Oh and let me take the towel from you it's quite warm, don't you think?" I could see the smile on his lips and I turned crimson. I hesitated for a moment but gave in. I slowly took the towel off and handed it to him.

His expression changed in seconds. His eyes traveled down my almost bare body and his cheeks turned scarlet. His mouth formed a small O shape and he looked so innocent for a second. I felt terribly embarrassed so I grabbed the towel back and marched off to the kitchen.

When I got to the kitchen I burst into tears. I shouldn't have come here, it was a stupid idea. I've always known that my body wasn't like one of those models body but I didn't think it was that bad to make a boy go mute. I was incredibly uncomfortable and I didn't like it one bit.
