Not the same

Chapter 5: party.

Jordan came to pick me up for the party. I was really exited and impressed about the party we were a going to.

It was Eloise and Shevhones joint birthday party. Only the popular kids were invited.

They had it at a big pool house that they had rented out.

It was huge. A mansion really. Everyone was here ready to party.

"You look beautiful Justine"

I blushed. I wore a long rainbow slit skirt with a white fitted tank top. I wanted to make an effort today. I also wore my MK bag,watch and sandals.

"Don't Look to bad yourself" I said examining his out fit. He had on a black and white baseball top with black jeans and Jordan 12.

Everyone was having so much fun and was enjoying there time.

The party was going so well until the whole world froze. Chantel Dane had arrived. She wasn't the most popular girl in school but she was beautiful. But that's not what caught my eye. Riley!? hand in hand with Chantel.

My blood began to boil, my eyes stung and I felt so sick in the stomach, like someone had punched me right in the gut.

I got up quickly walking to the kitchen with my head down before he could see me. I felt someone following me, it was Jordan.

"Justine you okay?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "Look" I led his eyes to the two who had sat down by now. "That's Riley"

"Him? That son of a bitch"

"Don't worry I know what to do"

I waited around the kitchen for a while. I wanted to confront him in front of everybody. I waited for the right moment and it came.

I heard 'woooo's and whistles from the crowd that crowded the two. This was my chance, I found my way to the front of the crowd and stood there in disgust as the two separated from the kiss.

Riley finally looked up.

"Justine!? I-I ""

"You-you what?? cheated on me again!?! oh yeah I know I saw."

The crowd began to silence.

"Justine not here ple-"

"No Riley here is fine. After everything we had you go and do this?? AGAIN?!? you said you'd never do it again Riley! I fucking trusted you with my heart Riley"

"It's just a bit of fun, lighten up" Chantel cut in.

"Lighten up? you best lighten your weave up if you think hooking up with other girls man is fun"

The crowd 'oooo'd at my comment. I payed them no mind.

I looked Riley in the eyes so he could feel my pain. I slapped him right in the cheek "we are done. You were a mistake" I then Turned to Chantel. "You can do much better then this. Messing relationships up is not the way"

The crowd that formed cheered as I walked out the house, I walked down the porch and tears ran down my eyes.

"Justine?!" Jordan called.

I turned back "please just take me home." I sniffed.

"No. Justine this is not who you are. I know I haven't know you long but I know you enough. Don't let him spoil your fun. Let him know what he's lost. You came out looking gorgeous, don't let it go to waste. Go back in there an enjoy the night"

A slight smile appeared on my face.

"What do you say" he said wiping my face gently.

"Only because of you" I smiled and followed him back to the house.

He was right. I shouldn't let Riley get to me. He didn't deserve me. He didn't appreciate me. He doesn't deserve my tears.

We walked back into the house and of course some eyes were glued onto me. I didn't care. I marched right onto the dance floor With Jordan by my side and we danced to our favourite songs.

It started to get crowded so we took a seat and got some drinks.

"I never knew you could dance" I said.

"You never asked" he smirked.

"True" I chuckled.

He looked around before saying "you ready to go?"

"Yeah sure."

We left the party and walked down the porch to his car, opening the door I got in.

*********

I fell asleep for the whole journey home.

"Justine?? I heard someone call. "Justine??"

My eyes slowly opened and I noticed I was on my couch, getting up quickly I saw my mom.

"How'd I get here?"

"Oh your friend Jordan I think his name was carried you in for me. He's a very nice boy, a little gentleman"

"I see you've met him then?" I laughed.

"Yeah, anyways off to bed you."

Heaving myself up, I slowly walked up the stairs to my room. after doing my night routine I texted Jordan an thanked him for tonight.
