Being in Love With You

#1

Hey there. No, that's not right. Oh, I know....Hi. This is stupid. I don't know why I am doing this. Maybe, I should just be myself. Urghhh.... this is so frustrating.

Whatever. Let's just start from the beginning. My name is Mila Harper. I am 17 years old and well I live with my mom, dad and my older brother, Chris. He is 19. He goes to a commute college. I don't know why he didn't dorm. I mean I would've but I guess he just didn't feel as if it was necessary.

And that's basically my life. There isn't anything special about me. I am just a normal 17 year old girl that dances occasionally. I really love dancing. It's my favorite thing to do. Besides that though, I am very normal and average; I guess you could say.

Sigh.

I go to school at Hugh M. Cummings High School. It's an okay school and everyone there knows one another. It's pretty big too. It's Friday, so, normally I would watch some Netflix and maybe finish some work that I was assigned for the weekend. However, my best friend Scarlett also known as Scarlie or Scar, demands that we go to this party that this senior from Clover Garden High is hosting.

I shake my head as I looked at myself and thought I looked quite decent.

I then left my room and headed downstairs. I made sure to be careful because I didn't want to trip and fall down the stairs and hurt myself. Lord knows how clumsy I can get when I am in heels. It really makes it difficult to do dances but I always try to breathe and most importantly..... hope to God I don't fall.

"Where you going?" I heard someone ask. I look at the direction the voice came from. It was my brother, Chris.

"I'm going out. Do you have a problem?" I asked. I then looked at him as if I could care what he thinks.

I love my brother and all but sometimes he makes it impossible to live my life. What I mean by that is, he is extremely overprotective. Like wants to know what guy is talking to me, protective. But, unfortunately I love him, so, what can I do.

"Well, have fun and be safe. Don't drink from anyone or take anything from anyone without going with them to get the drink." He said as I left knowing all to well he was going to say that.

Scar was outside waiting for me. I got in the car as she drove off. "Girl, what took you so long for you to come outside." She asked.

"My brother." Is all I had to say for her to know what I was talking about.

She laughed as she continued to head for the party. It was on the other side of town. The town where people who had big houses that looked like mansions. I call them rich people but really they have the same economic class as us just two classes above us but four classes below than the actual rich people.

As we headed to the party, Scar and I sang to the top of our lungs to the songs on the radio. We always sang every song that came on the radio. Even the ones that we didn't know. We called it, 'S & M's time'. We finally reached the party and it was packed. Looks like this guy had the whole town and the next come. All I know is, it's going to take a long time to clean this place up. Good luck to the host.

Scar and I walked into the party. We saw the usual that happens. I don't think I had to explain it much. If you don't then watch a teen movie. I don't know why this popped into my head but the movie Abduction with actors Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins, shows a good example of a teen party. Well, actually it doesn't but it's pretty close.

The music was blasting through the speakers. I could feel the music through my chest. It was like almost a pounding feeling. Normally, that would bother some people if they are not used to it, but since I have done some dance competitions growing up, I am not one of them.
