part 95

We pulled up in front of this really big house. I already knew it was big because we pulled into this rich neighborhood.

I unbuckled my seat belt and looked at the house again before looking back at haillie with a questionable look on my face. "This is it?" I asked her.

She nodded and looked at herself in the mirror one more time, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She turned her head looking at her self from angle to angle before letting out a soft sigh.

I looked out at the the sky and saw the sunset, seeing how pretty and claiming it looked. It was a mixture of pink, yellow, red and orange all combined, beaming over the house. It's like you could stare at if forever, even though that isnt possible.

"You ready?" asked haillie, looking down at her phone and checking the time.

I ignored her question as I had a question of my own. "How did you find this place?" I asked her, referring to the big house.

She looked past me at the house and looked back at me. "Its my cousins house. She always throws a big party during the summer."

I raised my eyebrows out of being surprised. "I didnt know that." I say.

She chucked, "well now you do." She unbuckled her seatbelt and moved her head to motion for us to leave the car. "Come on, let's go in." She says.

I nod and opened my door. I stepped out and pulled down my dress that was going up my thighs.

I took a breath in of fresh air, something I havent got for a little bit but glad I did.

Haillie and I walked up to the front door and stood there. I could hear voices and loud music from outside the house.

Haillie rang the door bell and knocked two times before hearing someone rattling with the door nob.

A girl opens the door that looks similar to haillie, it must be her cousin. She had tan skin, brown eyes with lip gloss that looked a lot like mine. Her outfit was perfectly matched together with ruffled, ripped up mom jeans that were rolled up at the bottom, black vans with white socks going over ankles, and a black rolling stones shirt that was tucked into her jeans. A perfect fit for the win.

I watched her face light up as she saw haillie. She put her arms out and took a step forward, wrapping her arms around haillie. "Haillie!" She giggled within the hug.

Haillie pulled away from the hug and smiled at her, keeping her hand on her shoulder. "Oh my gosh! How are you?" Haillie says.

The girl smiled. "I'm doing fine. The party is going great!" She looked at me and smiled. "Who's this?" She asked, referring to me.

Haillie looked at me and looked back at perhaps her cousin. "Oh, this is Anna, Anna, this is Leah, my cousin." Haillie says, introducing me to her cousin.

Leah put her hand out, offering me to shake it. I took the offer and shook her hand, not forgetting to smile. "Nice to meet you." She says, mirroring my smile.

She pulled away from my hand and looked at both of us. She backed up and let us step in. "Welp, enjoy the party. You have my number haillie if you need anything." And by that, she disappeared into the crowd.

I looked at haillie and she smiled. She grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the crowd that was dancing.

I stood there with a stiff posture as if I didnt know what to. I watched haillie wave her arms in the air and moved her body to the beat of the song that was playing. People surrounded us as they matched what haillie was doing.

She looked at me and scoffed, grabbing both of my wrists and swung them around. "Dont make yourself dance, let the music make you dance." She says over the loud music.

I closed my eyes and zoned out everything around me except for the music. I began to find the beat to the song and moved my body with it, smiling as I did.

I jumped up and down and moved my hips side to side with a big smile on my face. I never had this much fun in a long time, it's like I'm a real teenager. No boys, no nothing; just me and the music.

As I was dancing, I felt myself loose balance. I put my hand out to find something to prevent myself from falling until I felt something grab my arm. I realized I was halfway onto the ground before someone caught me.

I looked up and saw a boy with a concern look in his eyes as he looked down at me. "Are you okay?" He asked me as he helped me up get back onto my feet.

I nodded and pulled down my dress, before looking up at him again. He had natural black, wavy hair with brown eyes, a nice structured face, and perfectly straight teeth. He was perhaps Hispanic, but was very attractive and caught my eye.

"Glad I caught you." He chuckled while looked he at me. His voice was smoothly deep and he sounded like he could sing.

I chucked as well and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I agreed with him and softly smiled. "Yeah." I say calmly, but loud enough for him to hear over the music.

It was a awkward silence between us. We both stood there and looked around, avoiding eye contact with each other.

He then broke the silence as he looked down at my shoes. "I like your shoes, you have a nice style." He says, scratching the back of his neck.

"Thanks."I said, putting my lips into a straight line as I crossed my left arm over my torso to make it hold my right arm near my elbow.

"I-I'm jeshua." He says as he hesitated to bring his hand down to offer a hand shake to me. He then proudly held his hand out and waited for me to connect our hands.

I softly smiled and wrapped my hand around his, feeling my face wash up with red as I shook it up and down."I'm Anna." I say.

------------------------------------------------------------

Btw jeshua is just a different way to spell Joshua. The real dude is off of tik tok, my tik tok crush, and his username is 'jeshuapadilla'

People started shipping us in his comments so I dueted him and called him cute and the only thing I got out of that was him viewing my page.

So, I was just like "why not add him" but trust me, hes so attractive for a 15 year old like I CANT
