I grabbed the lawn chair and dragged it to the fence in my backyard. I waited for movement and a few minutes I heard the sliding door open. I stepped onto the chair and looked over finding myself face to face with the same amazing eyes and messy hair. I was so startled I fell off the chair.
"Uuuff." I yelped as I fell on my side.
"Can't resist me now?" he said leaning over to see me. I looked up and he was wearing a smug smile and I rolled my eyes.
"Oh trust me I'm resisting." I said as I stood up.
"Why are you looking over the fence?" He said his smile unfaltering.
"Why are you looking over the fence?" I decided to change the subject.
"I asked you first."
"Well I asked you second."
"Don't you have homework to do Emma."
"Why do you know my name?"
"Why don't you know mine?"
He got me there.
"What is your name?" I said crossing my arms annoyed with this game we were playing.
"Good luck finding that out." He said with smirk before disappearing behind the fence.
"Hey!" I yelled as I stepped back on the chair, but when I looked over the sliding door closed leaving me without an answer.
"Great," I said to myself.
I knew there was no point in staying in the backyard waiting, so I left it for another day.
The next day at school Alex came up to me excitedly. Her blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Guess who's throwing the next party?" She asked me holding her hands to her chest.
"Who?" I asked curiously.
"That guy from my music class." she squealed.
"Awesome." I said sarcastically.
"Oh come on. It can't be that bad."
"Oh yes. Yes it can. Believe me." I assured her which probably only confused her, but I didn't want to tell her how I feel about him just yet. I needed to figure him out first.
The rest of the week flew buy and before I knew it I was in my nice band t-shirt with long dangley pearl necklace, ripped skinny jeans and my favorite vans ready for the phone call of the location.
My phone vibrated at around midnight.
"The train station 15 minutes." Was all that was said before the line went dead. I climbed out my window and walked down to the train station quietly and quickly. The streets were dark and lonely with a certain exciting static in the air. I had to admit I was excited to see what kind of party this guy could throw.
When I got there the windows of the train station were dark and there was no music. I opened the door to a empty waiting room when suddenly the lights flickered on.
"The first one to arrive, a little excited aren't we?" he said on a stage by the DJ stand. He pressed a couple buttons and the loud music started. The colorful lights flickered across the room and the atmosphere was set. As if on cue, 5 seconds later the doors flew open and people poured in. He flashed me a smile before disappearing into the crowd. I looked around for the beer and a familiar face. I found Alex dancing and I danced my way over to her. I was starting to forget about him when the music stopped and his voice filled the room.
"Sorry for the interruption but I thought it was time for some live music from my band, 5 seconds of summer." He said staring right at me. He turned to look to his band and said, "Ready? 1 2 3..." and music poured from their fingertips. The crowded cheered and the party was better than before. Fists were in the air and smiles were on everyone's faces, including mine. They were good. Really good. About 5 songs in they stopped for a break and since I was a little drunk I had some confidence so I made my way over to him. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to say but I went anyways. I was pretty sure he noticed me following him, but he kept walking. He went through a door and when I stepped out we were outside. The cool air tingled my skin and I could see my breathe.
"So what did you think?" He said sitting down with his back against the brick wall of the train station. I took a clumsy seat next to him.
"Really good actually. I'm surprised." I smiled as I teased him. He chuckled as we stared out at the tracks as they disappeared into the darkness.
"Gee thanks for that compliment. So genuine."
"Oh you're welcome." I replied.
"No seriously though I didn't know you guys did this kind of thing. No one around here does that. You're good at it and should keep doing it." I said shrugging.
"You know you are the first one to tell us that." He said looking out.
"Really?" I asked surprised.
He just nodded.
"I shouldn't be."
"Definitely I mean have you heard us were amazing!"
"Ok moment ruined. Go back inside so I can dance you jerk." I said as stood up. He laughed as he stood up with me. He opened the door for me and we both went back inside ready to keep up with the party.
I danced the night away with Alex and some other guys from school. When his band finished playing, I didn't see him for the rest of the night. The party ended an hour before the train station opened, so at four in the morning we poured out into the streets drunk and happy. I waved goodbye to Alex as I stumbled away into the alleyways of downtown. Again, I was proud of myself for pulling off a successful night. I've been sneaking out for a while now and I haven't been caught. I just passed by the dumpster where I first met him when I heard him call my name. I shivered as the feeling came back.
"Emma!"
I turned to him as he caught up, my heart racing.
"Hey how was the rest of the party? I left after we finished our set."
"It was great actually. Especially because you left." I smiled. He chuckled.
"What happened to 'you're really good and should keep doing it'?"
"I don't remember saying that actually." I said holding back laugh.
"No?"
"Not at all." I said laughing softly.
"Well goody two shoes you should get home before they find you missing." he said pointing down the alley.
"Are you going to get coffee later?" I asked not knowing why.
"Um yeah are you?"
"Yeah met you there." I said with a smile before walking away quickly. I was going to be late if I didn't hurry.
Sorry if it's getting boring. They're getting to know each other, so patience please lol. Hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. Love you guys.
