In love with a roof Thatcher

Chapter 1

As I entered the party, the smell of alcohol filled my senses. Bodies were everywhere and the air was warm and I felt suffocated amongst the crowd.

It's my first party, although I am 17 years old, I'm not all too popular so I don't get invited to big parties like these.

I look around and everyone is talking to someone, I don't know where to go. There are people on the dancefloor. Do I join them? There are people at the bar. Do I get myself a drink first? I don't know what to do. I see a girl, I recognise from my maths class, I think her name is Emily. She has long brown hair which she has straightened for the party and she has slightly tanned skin. She is beautiful and has the prettiest dark brown eyes. I walk over to her, hoping she recognises me and doesn't reject me. She says "Oh hi Ella!" and I breathe a sigh of relief. "Hey Emily!" I say trying to act cool and not show my anxiety.

I sometimes get anxiety attacks in big, crowded places and i get nervous really easily. Emily and I talk for a bit and I order my first drink of the night.
