It Will End In A Kiss

Conversations

(BLU)

I hate this party. It's loud, dark and crowded. You cannot take two steps without bumping into someone. It's making me feel uncomfortable and giving me a case of claustrophobia.

I never consider myself like that. A claustrophobic. But right now, I feel like breathing is getting hard while I'm watching all those bodies moving and grinding on the dance floor. Standing too close with almost no space in between. It's suffocating me.

And I hate it when people bumped into me. When I am being surprised and I had to take a step back to give others way. It's stressing me out. I don't know what is happening to me.

"How many fire exits are in this place again?" I asked no one in particular.

"I think seven," someone answered. When I look around to see who it is, I found Cherry smiling at me with her pixie hair and beautiful teeth. "Hey ya, Blu." She bumped my shoulder with hers.

"Hello. Cool party," see me make conversation with a famous jock in our school.

"All thanks to Robin's Uncle,"

"Yes. My guardian is quite generous," I nodded.

"Oh right," Cherry laughed a little. "I almost forgot that Robin's Uncle is your guardian."

"Yes, he is."

"Well, are you having fun? Do you want to dance with us?"

"What?!" I felt panic constricting my chest. "No! That's okay. I'm fine."

Cherry's smile dimmed a little. "Okay. Maybe later. Have you seen Robin?"

"Yes," I nodded. "I already said hello to him. He is having fun,"

"You should too," Cherry laughed again and kissed my cheek before moving on.

I watched her go back to her girlfriend and teammates.

"What did Cherry wants?" AnneMarie suddenly appeared at my side.

"She asked me to dance," I said while frowning at the tall glass on AnneMarie's hand. "What are you drinking?"

"Oh this?" AnneMarie gave me a bright smile. Lights dances of her pretty face and she smells nice. She looks beautiful too. "Lemonade and vodka," she said.

"Vodka?" I don't think I like the sound of that. "You are a minor, AnneMarie." And whoever gave her this should be in jail. But I didn't voice that last thought for fear of being called overbearing and boring.

"It's just a small amount of vodka. You almost couldn't taste it. If I didn't know it was there, I think this is just a regular lemonade. Wanna try?" AnneMarie offered her drink to me.

"No," I shook my head.

"No to dancing. No to drinking. Blu, stop being a wallflower and loosen up! Have fun!" AnneMarie took my hand. "Come on, lets dance."

"No, I don't feel like dancing." I shook my head.

"Yes, you feel like dancing. Yes you will dance with me! That's the only answer I am hearing from you. So lets go!" AnneMarie put down her drink on a table and dragged me to the edge of the dance floor. She started dancing and I stood there, watching her. AnneMarie noticed that I'm doing the statue move so she hugged me and forced me to move with her.

So I moved with her. She laughed so I laughed as well. And then I just let the music guide me as I made little moves like bumping my fist in the air and swaying my feet. I'm not a graceful dancer.

But AnneMarie and I had fun while dancing. We hold hands, whisper jokes on each other and laughed together. We even met Roy and his dance partner on the dance floor and the four of us dance together.
