No Matter What They Say.

Part 1.

Walking into the party I wonder why I let myself get dragged here. Probably because I knew what would happen if I didn't. My best friend Tania disappears instantly, making a beeline for a guy I don't know. Big surprise. I walk over to the bar, lying to the bar man, yes I am over 18, and order a Diet Coke. Glancing out over all the dancing people a wave of depression creeps over me. I am pathetic. 15 and have never had a boyfriend. Walking out to the balcony I enjoy the feeling of the cold night breeze on my bare skin. Smiling and sipping my Coke, I reflect again, that tonight is gonna be a long night. I'm gonna need the caffeine or I'll never make it through. "Megan, Megan, MEAGAN!" Turning my head I survey my hyper best friend. "What?" She giggles, glancing behind her. My sigh of annoyance brings her attention back onto me. Great. Just what I need. "Why aren't you dancing, talking, meeting people?" I cannot believe she just asked me that. "Shouldn't you be off flirting with that guy you ditched me for?" Her laugh is unexpected. "Megs, he's my boyfriend." Excuse me she's only just met him. She is unbelievable. The look on my face warns her of what I'm gonna say so she beats me to it. "No I didn't just meet him. We met last month and have kept in touch and he asked me to be his girlfriend tonight. You should meet him." Like I said unbelievable! Some best friend. "And you didn't think to mention this before why?" My biting tone bursts the little bubble she's been in for the past few minutes. It looked a nice bubble though. Happy, carefree, in love. "You've had enough to deal with. Whenever I date someone you get all worried and protective. I didn't want to stress you out even more." She's right. About all of it. Wow that felt strange to admit. Tan right? The world is ending. Another sigh, this one resigned and she knows she's won. After a delighted squeal she regains her composer and goes and gets him. Whoever he is. She comes back leading about our age with brown eyes and really curly brown hair accompanied by a mega watt smile. "Hi, Im Nick. You must be Megan. Ive heard so much about you." The speech makes me grind my teeth, purley because Ive heard it so many times. Be nice, I warn myself, its not his fault. Fixing a fake smile to my face I offer my hand. "Yeah I am. So your Tan's new boyfriend. Can we chat for a mintue?" Tania glares at me but I smile sweetly back at her. she has to deal with the fact that I don't want her to get hurt. "Yeah sure what about?" Tania sighs and looks down. "What are your intensions with Tania? How many other girlfriends have you had? Have you ever broken someone's heart?" Tan rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed. "Er, I don't really know. I've had 3 other girlfriends and Ive never broken someone's heart and I don't plan to." I nod. He'll do. Well, he's acceptable. "You finished?" Widing my smile even more, I answer Tania's question. "Yes Im done. I'll see you later I guess." But its her turn to grin eveily. A grin I know all to well. Its her revenge grin. Crap. "Oh no. Your coming to meet Nick's family. Lets go." EVIL!!! Yanking my arm out, almost making me spill my drink, she half leads, half drags me inside and across the dance floor, followed by a chuckling Nick. She stops at a table with about 5 people sitting round it. "Guys this is Megan. Megan this is Paul, Denise, Kevin, Frankie and Joe." My eyes examin each person as they're pointed out to me. Paul and Denise, the parents. Kevin, about 23. Frankie about 8. And Joe. The moment our eyes meet I know that something is different about him. But he looks about 20. And Im 15. He would never like me. The moment I meet a boy I like, is the moment I realise that he is unavilable. Just my luck.
