All These Years

Hey there!

It is just as I anticipated. A very cliche pool party hosted by a hotshot jock. All I can see is beer cans lying on the floor accompanied by drunk teenagers, and desperate guys trying to get laid. I'm sitting by the pool with a diet Pepsi in my hand, judging people. Don't worry, I'll get drunk and probably try to get laid, too. Thank God, Josh doesn't do drugs or this place would have been a complete madhouse.
Amidst all this, I search for an unfamiliar face who'll be a part of my school life just 6 days later.
There! I see her right across the pool, by the bar just as drunk as any other person present in the party (except me, obviously). She's been drinking so much and still is normal with all that liquor in her system.
Okay, time to be romantic.
(Talking to myself) Be a man, walk up to her and simply say 'Hey there!' Ask for her name and number, maybe. Don't push, though.

I walk up to her. "Hey there!" I say with a seductive grin.
"Hey! Having a good time?"
"Yeah sure. You must be the new girl?"
"Yeah, it's me, Hannah."
She told me her name, a little progress.
"Nice to meet you, Hannah. I'm James, by the way."
"Oh! James as in, James Smith? Josh's best friend?"
"Yeah, pretty much his best friend."
"It's so good to meet you, James! Josh is talking about you practically all the time."
"Well, good to know." I say with a smile. You need such friends in life. Josh became my wingman even without me asking him.
We talk there for a while, well, well mostly flirting with each other. She's really a great girl. And some good news, I got her number. I can't stop but smile continuously. She had to leave early due to some family obligation so I was back to my old seat, with a beer can this time. I wanted to know more about her so bad, I googled her immediately. I found her Facebook, her Twitter and her Instagram in just about 10 minutes.

Hannah Lewis, student by day, singer by night. Lives in a family of 4, including her parents and a little sister. Wants to pursue singing, professionally. Often does shows in local bars, no wonder she can handle heavy drinking. Has long brown hair and dark black eyes. Sharp jawline and sexy curves. Overall, she's the perfect definition of "beautiful". She also has a great sense of humour, watches Netflix to pass time and has no interest in literature. Been through 3 failed relationships and 1 long distance, that eventually failed too.
Lives 3 blocks ahead of school and drives a Jeep matching to her eye colour. Dad's a pharmacist and mom's a lawyer. Little sister's still in elementary school, plays basketball and is a big LeBron fan.
I practically digged up her whole life in just a few minutes and I'm not proud about it but it's all right there in front of me, it's tempting, you know?

Anyway, I'm just thinking about her face right now. How beautiful, how perfect can someone be? It's like I found a needle in a haystack.
I sense someone walking up to me.
"Hey!"
Fuck. It's Sarah.
"Hey" I say vaguely.
"How are you doing?"
"Great!... Umm, thanks for asking." I can fake a smile pretty well.
"Soo, I have a little speech for you."
