      Amelia tore her eyes away from his gaze, and instead, chose to look at the ground beneath her. She began wondering why, with what had just happened, the only thing on her mind was the man standing in front of her. He was just as gorgeous as she had remembered from meeting him the night before. If anything, though, he looked even more amazing in the casual outfit he wore tonight. She was admiring him in his slightly baggy jeans and the white beater that clung perfectly to his muscular torso, showing how ripped he was, when he cleared his throat, making her eyes snap back to his.

“Are you alright?” he asked, concern filling his mesmerizing eyes.

      Her cheeks began burning red with anger and embarrassment as the realization of what happened moments ago had finally sunken in. What would have happened if Darren hadn't gotten involved? She shuddered at the thought. Turning her head, trying best as she could not to let him see her emotions, something caught her off guard. She noticed her chin was not in between Darren's thumb and pointer finger, he gently lifter her face, willing her to look at him.

“Amelia,” he spoke softly as his eyes bore into hers, “are you alright?”

      She closed her eyes, inhaling deeply as she tried to compose herself, and then answered with a nod.

“You're sure?” he questioned, doubtful of her answer.

      She opened her eyes to look at him and forced a smile. “I'm alright. I promise.” she finally said. “Thank you for... well... for helping me.”

      He gave her a small smile and removed his hand from her chin. As they stood there, she noticed he looked like he was concentrating on something very hard, but she couldn't determine what. She was about to ask him what was wrong when a familiar voice broke the silence instead. “I didn't know what you wanted to drink so I just got you a cup of be- Oh! What are you doing here?” the girl said acidly.

“Well, if you weren't so involved with yourself then you would know that Kevin is a close friend of mine. It's not my fault you spend all day looking in the mirror instead of noticing things around you Nicole.” Amelia retorted with a smirk.

       She could see Nicole steaming, probably due to embarrassment, and it probably didn't help that Darren had also smirked at her comment. Nicole looked like she was about to bite her head off but she didn't really care, she was sick of all of her snide remarks.

“You wanna know what I think?” Nicole said after a minute of mentally stabbing Amelia.

“Oh no! You've been thinking? You might want to sit down, you may have blown a blood vessel.” Amelia said.

      Then out of no where there was a loud laugh and Amelia noticed it had come from Darren. She looked at him amused but couldn't help but wonder what had come over her. She had never talked to anyone this way before. Even when people said things about her, she always preferred to be the bigger person and just walk away, so what was so different? It was as if she found confidence that was buried some where deep with in her and it was finally coming out.

      If Nicole hadn't wanted her dead before, she sure as hell did now. “ I think you are just jealous. You are just a loser with no life. No guy would ever touch someone as pathetic as you! You're probably still a VIRGIN!!!” she yelled loud enough for everyone in the room to hear her.
