Courtney's Point Of View 

I was in a peaceful sleep, having a wonderful dream about rainbows and pandas when my sister, Stacy, burst into the room. "Happy birthday, Courtney!" She shouted, I shot up in my bed and screamed. "What in the world?!" I scanned my room and then looked to her, she was smiling widely and I narrowed my eyes at her. "I, was sleeping." I said throwing the covers back over my head. She pulled them off and I was instantly cold, but she didn't seem to care.

"No! You must get up so you can get ready for your birthday party!" She dragged me out of bed and pushed me into the hallway. I groaned, I was still like, half asleep. "But all I need is my friends! I don't need some over the top birthday thing." "Yes you do! You're turning 18 and it needs to be celebrated! Now, sit down." She told me as she sat me down in a chair, I sighed knowing I couldn't win. 

After what seemed like an eternity of getting ready Stacy was finally finished and I looked in the mirror. "Wow.." I breathed out and she smiled. "Do you like?" I nodded and said, "I love! Thank you!" I then stood up and gave her a hug, she hugged back and took my hand leading me to my room to find an outfit. I found a pretty strapless, tan dress that went down to my knees and had a black belt. With my medium black hair curled, my black heels, and my white stud earrings and golden necklace I think I looked pretty decent.

"There! Now you are all ready!" She said putting a strand of hair in place. "Yay! But, what about you?" Her eyes got wide and she sighed, "Snap! I still have to get ready! Give me like, an hour or two." She then ran to the bathroom to do her hair and make up. I started laughing and stumbled in my heels, almost falling over but held onto a railing in the hallway. 

It was now time for the party, I saw Stacy had invited A TON of people and I instantly felt nervous. I have always had a bit of an insicrity problem and can be shy around people at times, well this party didn't really help... "Come on, time to party!" Stacy said taking my hand, I tried to stop her but she had already opened the door. "Hey everyone, it's the birthday girl!" She shouted and I let out a little, 'meep' noise. Everyone cheered and smiled at me, I waved and smiled back.

I recognized a majority of these people, they were family and friends. I also recognized some of Stacy's friends, and this included her friend Louis...He was about a year older than me and I may have a small crush on him. Okay a big crush! But I've always been to shy to have an actual conversation with him. 

It's been about half an hour since my party has started. I was just standing with a glass of water, wondering if I should go talk to Louis.  You can do it Courtney, go talk to him! I told myself and took in a big breath, starting to walk over there. I pushed through the crowd, saying thank you to the people saying happy birthday. He looked over in my direction, I let out a small squeal that thankfully was only audible to me. He sent a smile my way, I smiled back and was almost there when someone went up and talked to him. Some people taller than me blocked my way and I just turned around, chickening out. 

I got back to the back door and sighed, will I ever get the courage to talk to him? I looked around at everyone having fun, I should be too but I just can't seem too. If it was just a few people I probably could, I don't know. I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't notice someone was now standing next to me, I looked over and drew in a small sharp breath. It was Louis, he smiled at me, "Hey, Courtney!" I stuttered a bit but said, "Hi, Louis!" He actually remembered my name, this is very exciting! "Happy birthday, this is a great party!" "Uh, than you! And my sister planned it, I just kind of showed up." I laughed a little and he did too, yes I made him laugh!  

We talked a bit more, about random things like dogs and fruit from different lands. He was really cool, and great to talk to. All of a sudden a song started playing and he looked to me and smiled, "Wanna dance?" He asked holding out his hand to me, I took it. "I would love too." He lead me to where everyone was dancing near the stereo. When we got over there I recognized the song as '100 Years' by the band Five for Fighting. 

I then remembered that I couldn't dance, and if I tried I would make a complete fool of myself. "Uh, Louis. I can't dance, at all." I said and bit my lip, he smiled, "That's okay, just follow my lead. I'll make sure you don't trip and fall." He winked and I laughed a little, then we started to dance. It was so much fun, he was actually pretty good and never took his eyes off mine. 

When the song ended we went over to the sidelines and I told him, "You're a really great dancer, Lou." "Not to bad yourself once you got the hang of it." We smiled at each other and my sister came over, throwing her arms around our shoulders. "Well hello you two, nice dancing out there Courtney." "Thanks sis." I said to her and she then said, "So, we're gonna eat soon. Then cake and then party the night away!" She then ran off to meet with her friends while Lou and I laughed since she sort of skipped over. 

The rest of the night was amazing, definitely a day to remember. Everyone was going home, wishing me happy birthday once again as they headed out. I thought everyone had left when Lou came over to me. "Hey, I had a great time with you today." I smiled up at him, "I had a great time with you too." He then looked a bit nervous and this made me curious. He let out a small breath and then asked, "Um, Courtney, I was wondering if you would maybe want to go get some coffee with me tomorrow?"

I grinned and nodded, "That would be great!" He looked ecstatic that I said yes. "Okay, so I'll pick you up tomorrow around 3?" I thought of what I had to do tomorrow and then nodded my head, "Works for me!" "Great!" With that he started to walk out the door, but turned around and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Good night, Courtney. And again, happy birthday." He then left, I shut the door and couldn't stop smiling. I squealed a little and heard Stacy shout, "Courtney's got a boyfriend!" "I do not!" I shouted back laughing a little and then said to myself, "But hopefully soon I will."
