I yelped in fright from the screen in front of us and basically jumped into his lap making him shift a bit in the uncomfortable theater seat. Wow, nice job Clare, you're already scaring the guy on the first date, I thought to myself. Not knowing what to do, I just looked up at him and gave an apologetic smile and in response, I got a deep but short kiss. It's not what I had expected but it was wonderful. He pulled away just to look into my eyes, to see if it was okay to continue. Seeing that I didn't object, he pressed his lips back down to mine. For the rest of the movie that is all that we did and it was the best night of my life.

A smile spread across my face as I woke from the wonderful dream, the same one I've been having since the night it happened. I swiftly got up and got ready for school, happy that today is Friday and that tonight I am going to my first high school party. I looked over at myself in the mirror, and saw the pretty girl with ocean blue eyes and redish-brown hair, looking back. I don't really care what people think about me when it comes to my appearance, but I like to look good. I quickly adjusted my ringlet curls and then went down stairs finding a note on the island in the kitchen.

"Sorry sweetie, but I had to leave for work early this morning. I will also be home late tonight again. If it gets too late I'll stay at a motel near where I work. Again I'm really sorry honey. I love you.

~Mom"

I sighed deeply at the note and thought of how it might be if she was actually around instead of at work, but I shook the thought from my head, knowing it wasn't going to happen. The only real person I had in my life was Jake and he is all I want in my life right now. He is the only guy in my life since my dad left us.

The day at school went by pretty slow. Everyone, including me, is waiting for the party to start and just have fun. At the end of the day everyone was basically cheering, I was laughing at the sight and sound of it. Getting to my locker was hard considering the hall ways were always crowded. Were they crowding around my locker? I started shoving people aside to get to it and I found people curiously looking at the note on it.

I looked at everyone behind me that were waiting for me to open it and yelled "Mind your own business"

They quickly walked away except one person. Ali. My best friend. She started walking towards me and gave me a look that told me to open it.

I looked back at the note that said Clare on it in the perfect cursive and opened it. As I did something fell out but I quickly caught it so it didn't land on the ground. It was a beautiful heart shaped necklace made from copper. A huge smile spread across my face and I just held the necklace in my hand as I read the note.

"Hey beautiful. I just wanted to say that I love you and that my brother will be driving us to the party. I hope you like the necklace. I made it myself. Wear it to the party tonight.

I love you,

Jake"

I squealed in happiness and put the necklace on, momentarily forgetting that Ali was standing right there. I turned and once she saw the necklace, her jaw almost hit the floor.

"You're so lucky. You have an amazing boyfriend and I have no one" she said with jealously in her voice.

I simply sighed and said "You'll find someone special" I started putting my books back in my locker, closed it and began walking to the bus with Ali. She started asking me about what I was wearing to the party in her non-stop Ali-babble and got me thinking about it, but in the end I just nonchalantly shrugged my shoulders.

When I got home, I dashed upstairs to look for the perfect outfit for the party. I looked at the time and saw that it was only 4:30 so I decided to take a nap till six since the party started at seven. I grabbed my iPod and lay on my bed peacefully falling asleep to Grenade by Bruno Mars.

I was woken up by the heavymetal blasting in my ears and looked at the clock, realizing I slept in later then I wanted too so I promptly got up and began getting ready for the party. As soon as I got done getting ready I heard a honk outside of my house. I looked out the window and saw Jake waiting for me, leaning up against the car with a smirk on his face as he looked up at me. I held up one finger saying I'll be down in a minute, and then ran downstairs grabbing my jacket in the process and flew out the door. I slowed down a bit as I reached him and smiled as I looked up at him. His bent down and kissed me deeply, placing his hands on my waist and me putting my arms around his neck. We pulled away breathless and smiled at each other.

"Come on. Ali is going to flip if we aren't there soon," I said pulling away from him and grabbing his hand, dragging him inside the car. His brother drove us up to Ali's house and dropped us off; he wasn't really into going to parties and stuff. We looked up at the huge white house, colorful lights yield from inside and Gaga was blaring, we could hear it down the street.

We walked up to the house and saw Ali running toward us. She had an annoyed look on her face.

"Where the hell were you guys? It doesn't take that long to get here," she said placing her hand on her hips. We just shrugged our shoulders and walked inside hand in hand with Ali following us.

We danced that night till we couldn't dance anymore and It was so much fun. I was having the time of my life. We stopped for a bit to get some drinks. Ali went to get hers and Jake went to get his and mine. A couple minutes after they left, I went to go find a bathroom. Even though Ali and I are best friends I never saw her outside of school, so I've never been to her house. I walked up to one door thinking maybe it was the bathroom. When I opened it, I found a couple making out. I began to head out of the room but then looked back at them realizing who they were.

Its short I know but it will get better I just wanted to leave it with some suspence. :P
