Alexander's Pov

She was amazing. Since the day we met i knew that she wasn't like the other girls. The ones who care about their nails and hair. She was like the ones that would try to impress a guy with their character and thats one thing i loved about her. But i had to ruin it. I was so stupid since the very first day and now i cant take it back. I made a bet with Stefan and Nick. I'd make her like me. I'd be nice to her and hangout with her and then break her heart. When i told them i started talking to Chloe the first thing they said was that she was ugly and fat. That she wasn't worth it and i should just ignore her. I didn't want to be the outsider of the group so i just agreed with them. That's when i mentioned the bet and of cource they were in.
"Bro you realise that you'll have to spend time with her right?" Nick said and made a disgusted face.
"Come on dude she's not that bad." i objected but i didnt take it any further since i didnt want to fight with my best friends. So that's when everything started. I began to text her on a daily basis and we started going out together and that brings us to today. Today was Katherine's party. She's a freshman too and she invited the whole grade so that means I'll see her again.

20:50pm

"Come on Sof hurry up, we are going to be late!"
"Relax we don't have to be there at exactly nine o'clock! Everyone shows up at least half an hour later."
"That's not-"
"Shut up Em and both of you come here to take a picture."
We all went to the bathroom and posed in the mirror before Sofia took the picture. I was wearing a black crop top with a grey high-waisted skirt that covered my extra weight and made me look skinnier than usual which was something i loved about skirts. They bring out my legs that are the only good thing about my body and they cover my belly enough to look nice. Sofia wore a black tight dress that was one hand upper than her knee and Emily chose a white crop top with her black high-waisted, tight jeans. I could say that we all looked nice for once and not only them as usual. My dad drove us to Katherine's house and we made our way to the inside. It was our first house party since in middle school no one really threw parties at their house because adults necessarily had to be there and it was too lame. Obviously we were thrilled by the loud music, the crowded living room and generally this atmosphere. I've always been a ''party animal'' as my best friends call me because i love the vibe parties give me. Emily on the other hand was that type of person that would sit in the corner and wait till the party was over or it was time for us to leave. She always complained either about the music or the place. I feel like she kept coming just to say that she came because honestly, we never made her come. It was always her choice. I looked around scanning the room when my eyes met his. God he looked so hot in his white shirt and his black jeans. We made eye contact and after whispering something to his friends, they started coming towards me and the girls. Once they had approached us we all greeted each other amd started dancing. It was only an hour later that people began to play games. We decided to go play spin the bottle as the basic teenagers we were. We played many rounds and i had kissed on the cheek only this guy named Ryan. We had some classes together but i had never really noticed him. About the kiss, well i hadn't kissed anyone before so i didn't want to give my first kiss at a spin the bottle game and to a guy i didnt even know. I know, lame but trust me I'd regret it if i kissed him.
"Are we done yet? Im bored and i wanna go home!" Emily whined as always.
"Come on Em, its too soon! No one has left yet and we can't be known as the girls that left the first party of the year at only 10pm!"
Yes Sofia was that type of girl that cared too much for what others would think about her. Sometimes she got on my nerves but i still loved her. She was a nice girl and she always knew how to cheer me up so i just put away her disadvantages and tried to see her pros.
"Fine but im done playing this game. Its boring and-"
"Dont. Start." i stopped her before she could finish her sentence.
I got up and went to go get something to drink when i felt two hands on my waist.
"You look beautiful today." he whispered in my ear and i thought i was dreaming.
"Th-thanks" why am i so nervous? God, is it getting hot in here?
"Wanna go dance?" he asked me as he turned me around to face him.
"Su-sure." i felt like i couldn't breathe by the sudden decrease of our distance. Our lips were inches apart and he was looking at them, meaning he wanted to... kiss me? I mean that's what I've read. When someone is looking at your lips he probably wants to kiss you
"Come on i dont bite." he joked and i laughed starting to dance with him. It was like a dream come true since he was basically my crush. This was one of the best nights of my life and I'll never forget it. He was the first boy to ever call me beautiful and you can't understand how special and unique that was for me.

At least now i know it was all a pretend. That it was all a lie. Now the best night of my life was the night i moved to Canada with my family and left him and everyone behind.
