Chapter 13 - Party Time

Beyonce was basting out of all the speakers. The base of the music was pumping away. I gracefully moved my body in synchronization to the beat and smiled. Tonight all eyes were on me and everyone was treating me like a queen. People were dancing, having something to drink or eat, talking or just having a laugh. I was wearing a flowing blood red dress down to me knees, it showed my curves perfectly and swayed along as I moved. I had on some black leggings and a pair of red converse. In other word I was the gorgeous birthday girl and my party rocked. I was starting to get thirsty so I went and got I drink. As I was leaning on the wall Jas came over to me smiling. She leaned back on the wall next to me and she had a dreamy look on her face.  

"How much have you had to drink" I asked laughing 

"I'm not drunk Amy, I'm in love" I looked at her questioningly but somehow knew she wasn't lying.  

"He's so perfect, he's hot, smart, funny, and cool and did I mention hot" 

"Wow" 

"I know right? But me and him are going together some day I can see it happening."  

"How are you so sure dude?" 

"You won't believe me" 

"I've seen lots of strange things and you know that because you were in the accident with me" 

"I see things ok!" I don't know why but I just knew she was telling the truth. "Since the accident it like I get these feeling about stuff that's going to happen and it actually happens. Then recently I've started having these dreams. Dreams that shows stuff that's going to happen. Like remember when I knew you'd win the talent show with our youth." 

"That...is.... Awesome! What else have u seen? Any lottery numbers?" 

"No but as I said I saw myself hugging Mr. Hotty" 

"And who's your Mr Hotty" 

"John Caballeros. Luckily you invited him to your party; I've been flirting with him all night to give him a hint to ask me out." 

"Good luck" I was happy that Jas liked him. Jas had been off boys for ages since her last boyfriend dumped her. 

"Hey, can you try and find out if he likes me? Please Amy??" 

"You know that's my speciality" I answered with a smile. I loved helping my friends to be happy and getting the guys they wanted. I walked around the hall looking for John will admiring my work. The hall was dark except for a few neon lights. There were balloons everywhere. Streamers and banners saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY". I loved it all. As I made my way slowly round I said hello to a few of my friends and had some mini conversations. When I was about t give up the search I felt someone poke me in the back. I gasped as I tensed up my pack. I spun around about to make a colourful report when I saw it was just John. I know I should have been annoyed but for some reason I felt happy and smiled.  

"Hello Jonathan" 

"Hello Amy, wanna dance?" 

"Yeah sure" we made our on to the dance floor and started together to "Outta Here" by Esmee Denters. It was awesome. It was magical. It was like I couldn't see anyone else but him. His smile his eyes. I forgot my name, I forgot about Jas and what she asked me to do. And his eyes. They were full of so many emotions but I couldn't tell what they were. We slowly stopped dancing. He started moving closer towards me. When his face was centimetres from mine I closed my eyes so I wouldn't look cross-eyed and waited to feel his lips on mine but it never came. I opened my eyes to see he had gone. I slowly filled with disappointment. Why on earth would he lean in to try and kiss me then just walk off? And on my birthdat, at my party of all dats. I was starting to get angry. I looked round hoping to find him and have a go at him but I never did. In the end I gave up and just hung out with my best friends Kylie and Luke. We had a blast.

5 minutes before the end of the party we realised that we hadn't seen Jasmine. We walked around to find her. "Me and Amy will check outside. Luke can you check the hall?" 

"Yeah sure" look responded then walked away.  

Me Kylie went outside to check where they were. I was happy we went outside because I really needed some air. We cracked a few jokes, talked about past parties we'd been to and funny moment. 

"Amy remember when red bull for the first time and-" Kylie couldn't even finish the sentence because we both bent over laughing. We kept on laughing as we went back inside the hall. We both stopped as we finally found Jas. She was slow dancing with John in the centre of the dance floor. I felt a pang of jealousy looking at this so I looked at Kylie and saw her giving me a worried look. "What?" I asked a little bit too harshly.  

"Are you alright?" 

"Why wouldn't I be?"  

"Well I know you like John and Jasmine's dancing with him, the look you just had on your face and-"  

"What are you talking about, I don't-" 

"I know you Amy and I know when you like somebody. You can't lie to me the same way I can't lie to you." 

I looked away not wanting to believe what she said but deep down I knew I liked John. Being honest with myself I realised I've liked him since he saved me from falling at the bookshop. I watched as Jasmine and John kept dancing and as John slowly kissed Jasmine on the cheek. I walked outside feeling tears on my eyes. I tried to wipe them away before they ruined my smoky eyes. I felt a hand on my back. It was Kylie trying to comfort me. We stayed like that for a bit. My crying quietly into kylie's shoulder (probably ruining het top) while she tried her best to comfort my broken heart.
