IN LOVE WITH HIM

Chapter five

As we got to the door I suddenly felt nervous.

'Audrey, are you sure.........' Audrey was in before I could even voice my fears, so I had no choice but to go in before I lost her,

It was dark as the place was dimly lit, the place reeked of alcohol and the teens on the dance floor were too close, it was disgusting to watch and I suddenly felt sick and nauseous.

My eyes scanned the place as my eyes got accustomed to the dark and I could identity clearly each figure, I knew I was searching for him, I gave up after few minutes of searching, I sat at the bar drinking water.

Audrey walked over, I noticed she had an alcohol bottle in her hands.

'There you are, I've been searching for you, there is someone I'd like you to meet' she shouted leaning closer so I could hear her over the loud music.

'No I don't wanna meet anybody' I said adamantly.

'Ava you don't always need to be so uptight, loosen up and have fun, drink' she said handing over the drink.

I shook my head disapprovingly.

'Drinking is not having fun' I said

A guy walked over

'Care for a dance? He asked smiling flirtatiously and showing his sparkling white teeth.

'No thanks' I said remembering the rules mum gave me.

He went away disappointed.

Audrey gave me a disapproving stare

'Ava, don't be so difficult, you're gonna accept to dance with the next guy that asks, understood?'

'No ma' I said chuckling

She opened her mouth to argue when she spotted Justin talking to Adrian l, he was wearing a casual wear, just T-shirt and denim shorts, he looked like he had been dragged here because his expression was bored and his eyes cold.

'He's here, let's go say hi'
She said pulling me up and pushing me towards them before I could protest.

'Hey, babe what's up' she asked Justin cutting short whatever conversation he was having with Adrian, you could hardly call it a conversation though because Justin was doing all the talking and Adrian was quiet uninterested in what ever monologue Justin was having with him.

'Oh, hey' he said and planted a short kiss on her cheeks.

'You might wanna introduce us to someone' she said looking at Adrian.

'Oh, Audrey this is Adrian, my friend and Adrian this is Audrey, my girlfriend and Ava, her best friend' he said

Worst introduction ever

'Hi' Adrian said.

'Hi, nice to meet you, she said satisfactorily.

'Hi' I said awkwardly.

His eyes travelled down my body quickly and I suddenly felt self conscious and I looked elsewhere unfortunately landing my eyes on a couple making out

Eww that's gross

I didn't realise I was staring until Audrey nudged me gently with her legs, jolting me back to reality.

I did not grasp a single thing they said and it was as if it was Audrey and Adrian doing all the talking because Adrian was just staring at them with a bored expression like he'd be any where else but here.

I slipped away quietly after announcing I wanted to use the washroom which was a lie of course.

I walked around although careful of getting lost, I finally got tired of walking after walking round in circles for ten minutes and sat down far from the blaring music.
My phone bleeped signifying a text, so I decided to check it.
