The party started around eight o'clock and a lot of people came. Most of them were from Hollywood Arts, but some of them looked like they were from other places. Like Northridge probably. Other just looked like some of my neighbors that had just decided to crash the party. I didn't mind really, but I could tell that it was getting on Jade's nerves. She doesn't like seeing people that she doesn't know who they are. Not anymore at least.

Several people (most of them being girls) had tried to hit on Beck while Jade was standing right there next to him. It was mostly some of the Northridge people and some of my neighbors that had no idea who Jade was. I could tell that Jade had been fuming and kicked out everybody who dared hit on Beck. I think that she even beat up a couple during the process.

André and Jade didn't leave my side the whole time. Well, Jade left a couple of times with Beck. I'm guessing that they just went to make out somewhere in a closet or something. It was a very Beck and Jade like thing to do at a party.

So now, Beck was leading Jade into the crowd and slowly disappeared leaving me and André leaning against the living room wall. We kept looking at each other and then back at the other kids that were dancing.

:Hey, Lil' Red, you wanna dance?" André asked me while we watched Beck and Jade walk off somewhere.

"Umm… Sure, why not." I said and pocked his stomach.

Just as I replied, the DJ put a slow song on and created a very awkward moment. André stuck his hand out towards me and I took it. He led me to the middle of my living room and pulled me in closer to him so that our bodies were touching. Goosebumps started to rise on my arms and legs. I could feel them as they rose and went back down, and rose again. I could feel some of them on André's arms, too.

"Is this ok?" he asked me semi-cautiously.

I nodded and we proceeded in what seemed like just swaying side to side. My head was on his shoulders while his arms were wrapped around my waist. I accidently let out a little tiny giggle, but thankfully, André didn't hear it. After my tiny outburst, I wrapped my arms around André's neck and took my head off his shoulders.

"This is a fun party." André said as I laid my head on his chest, creating an even more awkward moment than before. "Don't ya think?" He didn't seem to mind, though.

This song seemed like it was super long. It never seemed to have an end to it. But something happened as the song was playing. It was almost as if some chamber deep inside of me had finally opened up and I discovered something about myself. The thing was, I don't know what I had discovered.

"Yeah." I agreed.

André looked down at me. I never realized how much taller he was than me, but now I do. His little dreads fell to the sides of his face as he looked down. It was right then that I had discovered what was inside that little chamber. I think I liked André…

"You don't sound like you're havin' fun."

We were still swaying in the middle of this large crowd. I lifted my head up and looked into André's eyes. They were a dark brown and I felt like I would have collapsed if he wasn't holding me. I was almost getting lost in his eyes and I could feel my breathing starting to get heavier. I really hoped that he wasn't noticing.

"I-I am. I'm having a lot of fun." I said and put my chin on his chest again. I was still looking into his eyes; I was finding it hard to look away.

"That's good."

The whole entire time, we didn't break eye contact. I felt like we were doing a scene in Sikowitz's class and it was like we couldn't break character. Me being the ditzy girl who flirts with everyone and André being the one guy that I wanted to flirt back to me but never did. The guy that I don't think I could ever have because he was way too good for the likes of me. The guy that I don't deserve having, even as just a friend.

But just as I was thinking all of this, André lowered his head so that it was right in front of mine. He seemed to be hesitating and thinking about what he was going to do. Or well, what I hope he was planning on doing… And apparently, I was right. André closed the space that was between my face and his and… kissed me.
