it was saturday. francine and i flew here to nyc yesterday for maggie's party, which is later tonight.

"so, how's my outfit?" francine came out of the bathroom with a polka dotted dress, a brown jacket, a necklace and sneakers.

"cutie alert! you'll be the star of the party." "oh please. now, your turn!" she sat on the bed and i ran to the restroom.

a couple minutes later, i came out wearing a tight black dress that came to my mid-thigh, a pink jacket, a golden watch, and my yeezys.

"whoop! zion doesn't know what he's missing sis!" she clapped and we laughed.

"let's go, the party starts in thirty minutes." I said, picking my phone up and putting it in my pocket.

"actually it started ten minutes ago, but let's go." she grabbed my hand and together we left the hotel to the party.

when we got to the party, a bunch of people we already in there, jumping along to the dj's music and talking over the music.

"babies!" i heard someone say. we turned to see dina running to give us a hug.

"dina!" we hugged her back.

"haven't seen you guys in such a long time! glad you guys came out here from college. tonight's gonna be a night you won't forget." we pulled away.

"i know it won't. we haven't had fun in a while." francine nudged me. "edwin's here too so you guys can finally meet him face to face." dina said excitedly.

we've met edwin before on facetime, giving him on of those interviews to make sure he's a good man for dina. he also told us that he was in a boy band, the same one that zion's in, which is just so perfect.

"is zion here?" i whisper asked dina. "i don't know. i can go check to see if you want." she said, looking around. "no no. don't worry about it. tonight is about fun, no drama." "drama?" dina asked. "i'll explain later." i responded.

"now, go have fun!" dina pushed us to the crowd.

i went to the dance floor with my drink i got from the bar and just danced slightly in the corner. i'm not much of a party girl but having fun is me in my room watching netflix, so i just continued dancing in the corner and sipping my drink.

"refill?" someone asked behind me. i jumped and turned around. "sorry, i didn't mean to startle such a beautiful face." the stranger complimented me.

"i'm justin." he offered his hand out to me. "i'm olivia." i shook his hand back. "beautiful name for a beautiful girl." he smiled at me and i felt my cheeks burning.

"so, why are you here justin?" i asked him. "well, i couldn't help but find you here when i was dancing and i thought you could use some company, and a refill." he held out his hand for my cup. "both would be delightful." I smiled and he left with our cups.

as justin left, i kept dancing on my own, just looking around at the amount of people at the party.

the next that came on was would you mind, a song by prettymuch, the group that zion was in.

"make way for the gangway! my boys brandon, edwin, austin, nick, and zion!"

shit

i just froze, i couldn't help but freeze and watch my ex-best friend and crush dance after not seeing him for years.

him and his bandmates got in a line, side by side and did the dance, perfectly in sync with the song.

around the end of the song, i realized i was staring at zion more than anyone else. i just couldn't pull away. just when i was about to make an effort to look away, he looked back.

shit
