New Beginnings

Chapter 34: Dance Battle

Ava's POV

We all got settled in a circle with a bottle in the middle. Lizzie was practically jumping out of her seat getting ready to spin the bottle. Who knew what kind of twisted questions she had. Then again, she had a specialty for making people uncomfortable. However, there was something off. I couldn't hear Corinna babbling her mouth. I scanned around the room and saw her texting rapidly on her phone. I decided to just leave her alone, It was a lot better than her throwing flirty comments towards my boyfriend.

"Alright i'll spin first." Lizzie said reaching towards the empty beer bottle.

The bottle went spinning quickly, before landing on Corinna, who was still busy on her phone. "Alright Corinna, Is it true you let a freshman boy feel up on you?" Lizzie belted. 

I gasped, meanwhile Corinna ears went red. "How'd you know about that?!" she screeched. Wait a minute, she called me desperate for my almost date with Eugene? What a little hypocrite.

"I am already loving this game." Lizzie said putting her hands behind her back. We all began laughing when Corinna got up and stormed off. She sure knew how to make  a scene. She eventually came back with a devious smirk on her face and spun the bottle. To my dismay, the bottled landed on me.

Corinna smirked and asked, "How many guys have you kissed?" My cheeks grew red once again, and I saw everyone looking at me with expecting eyes. Chase's grip tightened on my hand.

"Two.." I murmured. Chase sighed in relief, and the rest of the game was about to continue until Corinna decided to share her opinion.

She began laughing, "You've.. kissed two.. guys?!" I rolled my eyes, not ready for her snarky remarks. "I bet you're still a virgin!"

"At least I didn't let a freshman kid feel up on me." I snapped at her. She narrowed her eyes into slits. Chase put his arm over my shoulder with a happy look on his face. He then said, "That's my girl." 

His girl. I loved the sound of that. The game went on and on,  until we heard a knock on the door. Julian got up and made his way over to the front door. He checked the peep hole, and muttered, "What the fuck." 

We all had puzzled looks on our faces, curious as to what he was seeing. I turned around and saw Corinna had a smirk on her face. Of course she had something to do with whatever was going on out there. Julian pulled the door open and a bunch of strange teens poured in with alcohol and music. Of course she'd throw a party. 

"Thanks for the invite Corinna."

"Super excited for this."

"Where are the chips?!" A kid yelled bolting through the doors. Same brother, same.

Music started blaring through the house, and a red faced Julian came into sight. He was so red, I was even scared of him. I mean usually Julian wouldn't hurt a fly, but right now I seriously doubted that. He took long strides over to Corinna and they began talking in a heated conversation. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I knew better than to go that way. I turned the opposite way to see Lizzie, Kiki, Abigail and Mia getting down on the dance floor. They didn't care that they still had their pajamas on, or that they didn't have makeup on. I truly admired them for that.

Chase's POV

The entire hoard of teens came separating me from everyone. We all knew who was behind this. Corinna. I was actually excited for the little quiet time with my friends. I'd finally have a little alone time with my girl. God, it felt so good to be able to say it again. I had missed her like crazy, wondering if she felt the same about me. Apparently she did because she was finally mine again. Nothing would change that. I was miserable without her, and not one single person would get in the way of us. 

I scanned around the room Ava, but there was so many people here it made it impossible. The music was pumping, and soon enough I was swept off into the kitchen. There were couples already lined up making out by the walls, and it hadn't even been a full thirty minutes yet. Matter fact, who the hell were these people. They sure didn't go to Pacific Vista, maybe they went to Corinna's school. Who knows, and who cares. All I needed right now was to find Ava. I didn't trust these guys here. Of course, a little drink would help too. 

I grabbed a beer from the fridge, and scanned the room again. That was until a petite raven haired girl came by me. She had a short haircut with brown eyes. "Looking for someone?" She said grabbing  a beer.

"Yep." I answered curtly. 

"Let me guess girlfriend?" 

I simply nodded my head taking another sip from the bottle. She didn't get the hint, and she stood by me silently. The girl stood in front of me and smiled, "Well I don't see her, so how about we take this upstairs?"

I opened my mouth to give her a snarky remark but fortunately Ava beat me to it. "Turn around and then you'll see her." She said turning her eyes into slits. The girl turned around a growled. Yes, she growled. Weird right?

"I don't see much." 

Ava gave her a once-over and rolled her eyes, "Do you only prowl on boys who have girlfriends? I mean, if you need help on the boy department i'd be more than happy to give you a few pointers." 

The girls kept going back and forth but I tuned out. I only focused on Ava being angry. She was ten times hotter when she was jealous, I was pretty sure my mouth was open close to drool. Ava had no idea how much she drove me crazy. She could do any little thing and i'd fall deeper for her. I knew I had to tell her how I felt sooner or later. I sounded like such a girl, but I guess that's what love does to you. 

"Let's settle this in a dance battle then!" 

Wait am I hearing this right? "Fine! You are so going down.... Uh- what's your name?" Ava said awkwardly. 

"It's Autumn, you?" Autumn politely asked.

"Ava, and wait a minute. What does the winner get?" Ava questioned.

Autumn thought about it for a second before looking at me with hungry eyes. "Him." 

"Woah there! I'm not some sort of pri-" 

"Deal." Ava interrupted.

Ava better win that dance battle or i'm gonna seriously be upset.
