ALLIE
"Drift into song and let it carry you away..." The person was singing on the speakers, but I wasn't feeling like dancing at the moment.
I spotted Cole telling Gwen something serious and rolled my eyes. Alec started to walk away, but I grabbed his arm. "Help. Wait. He's looking our way. He's coming toward me. Alec!" Alec winked at me before he left.
I nervously fidgeted and twisted my hands as Cole neared me. "Uh, hello, uh... I heard about what happened, with you guys..."
"Spying on you?" Cole chuckled, but I didn't see what he found so funny.
"Er, yeah. What was that all about, anyway?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Okay... so, shouldn't you be dancing with Gwen or something?"
"Nah."
"Why not...?"
"No need."
"Ah?"
"Because you're here, are you not?"
With that, he leaned in and kissed me. The warmth traveled, igniting my entire body, and I couldn't help but smile. Maybe it could turn out to be my perfect night. But then I looked around.
I saw Gwen and Alec, chatting away, I saw girls in the corner, giggling, and I saw others dancing. I beckoned my brother and my best friend over, thinking maybe I could consider this the day that everything worked out.
We were more than half-way through my first year of high school, and while yes, I'd started out thinking the world was against me, but I knew somewhere in my heart that it would all be fine.
