mary focus

it was 08:00 pm and mel and mary were getting ready for the party.
mary had a sumptuous dark red dress with a bit of lace that enhanced her waist and her body shapes and her heels were matching her outfit. mary didn't wear a lot of make-up - a red lipstick to show her luscious lips, a bit of highlighter and a bit of mascara so people could see her bright green eyes. the fact that she was wearing perfume made her even more elegant.
mel, meanwhile, had an beautiful black dress with black high heels. she looked really good. her dark outfit created a contrast with her clear eyes, making them look like two bright pearls.

why don't we focus

it was 10:00 pm and jack was laughing with zach next to the buffet while daniel, corbyn and jonah were looking for mary, since she messaged them that she arrived. jonah looked at the main entry and recognized a brunette, a smile forming on his face. " hey, guys, mary's coming! " he exclaimed, pointing to her.

once the introductions made, mel went to talk with someone she was friends with and boys looked at mary's outfit. " mary, i told you to dress well, not to look ethereal " said corbyn, half laughing and half impressed.

mary thanked him with a smile and decided to comment on their outfits too. " jonah. simple outfit and looks fresh, congrats! "

" aha, thanks. "

" oh, daniel, you listened to me. nice shirt! "

" yes, you're actually good at advice. "

" yeah, i know. " said mary as if she was a queen, which made them laugh.

" i see that corbyn listened to me too. i told you sky blue color would look good on you! "

" yeah, you were right. "

" jack looks good too, as usual. "

" yeah, i know. " answered jack in a perfect impersonation of mary, teasing her. but mary was already looking at someone else - a someone else who turned out to be zach. " zach, i- " mary wasn't prepared for that.

zach wore white clothes as mary advised him. a white suit. that looks so sexy on him. mary stared at him with awe, enjoying the view. " that looks so good on you. " mary somehow managed to say it calmly even though she was screaming internally. her comment on zach's outfit was a real euphemism comparing to all the comments that were coming to her mind right now. 'good' was an understatement - zach was actually hot, handsome, attractive...

mary didn't notice but zach glared at her as well, not missing any single part of her hot body. " this dress looks good on you too, mary."

the other boys nodded in approval and mary smiled to them, freaking the fuck put internally because zach just complimented her. don't blush don't blush don't blush don't blush. mary looked up at zach and managed to breath our a shy " thank you " with a smile.

" thank you, next, NEXT! " exclaimed corbyn out of context, making everyone burst out laughing and calming mary.

" i think it's time to dance " said daniel. " i mean, we're at a party so let's decompress and have a good time. "

mary made sure that mel wasn't alone and smiled, looking at zach out of the corner of her eye. " yeah, sure! "

boys and mary laughed a lot while dancing like crazy on the dj's mixes and mary went to drink something (not alcohol, of course). she tried to evit drunk people on her way back and accidentally bumped into someone.

" hey, be careful! " said the stranger - but was he really a stranger? - putting a warm hand on her shoulder.

mary recognized his voice almost immediately. zach herron. she turned around and faced zach, who was smirking at her. she smiled and replied " it's hard with all these drunk people though. "

" yeah, true. "

they looked at each other laughing and mary swore that she never heard such a cute laugh. so sweet, she thought.

" hey, mary! i'm dean, remember? "

oh fuck, no. his voice startled her and she wondered what he was doing here. zach frowned and mary didn't know how to explain that they were facing the person she hated the most. dean always had crush on mary when she was going to school and spent all of his time trying to flirt with her whenever he saw her, despite the fact that she felt absolutely nothing for him. he put his arm around her shoulders and smiled. " long time no see! you got even more hotter than before " said dean as he checked mary out shamelessly.

zach looked down, slightly embarrassed. " well, see you later then... " he mumbled as he turned on the balls of his feet and looked for the other members, seemingly annoyed by dean's presence.

" zach...! " mary tried to hold him back, begging him internally to save her from dean.

" hey, dude! "

omg shut the fuck up already. mary was scared of what dean could say to zach. if he was going to talk about her reputation in school, he was really an ass. zach turned around, throwing an interrogative glance to dean. " what? "

at that moment, mary knew that it was over.

" if you're thinking there might be something between you and her, you're wrong. last year, she dated lots of boys without feeling anything for them. "

zach looked at mary and the latter could see the disappointment in his eyes. with only two sentences, dean ruined the best moment of the party. " i thought you could be a good person, but apparently, you're just a cold bitch " said zach, looking at mary with evident frustration as he leaves her with dean.
mary looked at him in desbilief and wanted to go home. the only thing she wanted to do was to get closer to zach but it was dead enough, now. she was sad because when she laughed xith him, she felt like zach was interested in her too but because of dean, mary just lost a chance to feel something real. the first person she had a real crush on just left her and probably didn't want to talk to her.
