I felt so refreshed after finishing my cup of punch, my burning skin finally cooled down a bit. It was so scary how a three letters word delivered from Sam's mouth can get me so worked up.

I lean against the table and watch the crowd of bodies dancing, the neon lights making the scene look like colorful fractured glass. Then I saw Sapph approaching me waving her arms frantically. When she reached me she screamed into my ear.
"LET'S GO DANCE!"
"WHERE'S NAT?" I yelled back.
"TALKING TO A CUTE GUY!" She smirked at me then pulled me to the center of the room.

We went through the whole songs, our moves identical, shaking hips, leaning forward, throw hair back. It was kind of daring, but in there under the lights, in the middle of the dancing bodies, I felt in my own world, not caring the least about who's watching. My heart beats merged with the loud music to create a new feeling of freedom, so I closed my eyes, and danced.
