That Awkward Party

'So, Evan how did you meet Ansel? We never saw you both speak to each other ever before!' The girl beside me asks as I sip my cola and scan the room, Ansel looks nervous, stop clinging to Jason. Despite her scary temper and maniacal love, I have to agree Allison knows how to throw a party, I hope Ansel makes some new friends.

'Sorry... What? I couldn't hear you.' I ask the girl who is standing dangerously close to me to spark rumours about me cheating on my geeky boyfriend. Well, fake boyfriend but boy and a friend or a friend who happens to be a boy.

'I found him in the closet sneezing.' I reply.

'Come on! Don't joke with us.' Another girl makes a face.

'Tell us! How did you meet?' When you enter puberty, the adults keep you lecturing about safe sex, and protection, and peer pressure, but no one warns you about the pressure a gaggle of giggling girls create. All of them are beautiful and nice, yet I don't seem to find any attraction for them.

'I was running and I happened to hear a noise coming from the small broom closet near the locker room, Ansel was sneezing and hiding inside it, because he feared he caught flu and might pass it on to others.' Not the exact truth but not a lie either.

'Awww isn't that cute! So you took him to the nurse's office and helped him get over his sickness?' The tallest of the girls asks me. Curiosity is dripping from her mouth.

'No, he didn't catch flu but it was constant exposure to chalk dust that made him suffer that day. I just happened to see those lovely eyes that he hid behind those obnoxious glasses.' I sigh, it sounded much gayer than it did in my head.

'You really like him!' The tall girl cried like I was the creature she was waiting to pet her whole life while I keep scanning the room, Ansel is nowhere in the periphery of my vision.

'I do really like that Dork.' I reply, nope he was nowhere near me, I hope no one sneaks him alcohol.

'Yeah the whole school realized that when he cheered for you today. That was so cute.' One with the cap on her head smiled. Rest of them kept nodding with her.

'He is awkwardly magical.' I inform, now I was worried.

'That's so sweet! Okay Evans we should let you go, you seem worried.' The tall girl finally realized.

'I am not worried to be exact, its Ansel's first party ever, I want him to make friends but I don't want him to get overwhelmed either, it's hard for an introvert like him, so please excuse me girls.' I wave them and start looking for the magic boy that's when I spot my best friend.

'Hey Jason where is ...?' I blush and hesitate a little.

'Your boyfriend? I forgot him in the kitchen?' Jason rubs the back of his head. Dude seriously! My brain sighs.

'I'll go check up on him.' But before that can happen, I run into my dear former girlfriend, Allison.

'ALLISON!' I flinch out of ingrained fear.

'Hey! You came. I'm glad. If you're looking for Ansel, he's out there having fun. I introduced him to everyone.' She really is out of this world.

'Really? That's great, thanks.' I relax a bit.

'You really care about him.' Allison looks so happy about this. Maybe I can tell her the truth.

'By the way, congratulations on today's game.' She is unpredictable too.

'Yeah, and regarding that announcement what was that all about?' That is still bothering me, now my parents have found out about Ansel and me. I have no idea how they will react.
