Bradin walked into the party with Lucas. They both had made the team and were in a very good mood

"Hey Luke, Hey Bradin" Kelli said as she walked up to them "What's up?"

"Nothing really, what about you" Lucas asked, winking at her when he noticed she was staring at Bradin

"Um, nothing really. You guys want something to drink?" she responded

"Sure" Bradin said, smiling.

"You two go, I have to go find Lizzie, she owes me a dance" Lucas said and walked in the crowd, leaving the two alone

"So Bradin, tell me something about you, and not something stupid, like I like cats or whatever, something interesting" Kelli said as they walked

"I will if you do" he replied as she handed him a beer

"Deal" she said as they both sat down near the water

"Well, I know this sounds stupid, but I love to sing and write songs"

"Really?" Kelli asked "That's so cool, you have to whole Ryan Cabrera thing going on, that's so adorable"

He laughed "Now it's your turn" he said looking at her

"Ok, well, even though I'm a cheerleader and almost a junior in high school, I'm still a virgin, which is an accomplishment in this town"

"That's cool, I respect that" he said, looking at her

"Respect that, huh? I supposed that means you're not?" she said smiling

"Um, no, I lost it to my ex-girlfriend from Kansas. I wish I hadn't though, it just made it that much harder to leave" he looked at the water sadly

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad" she said putting her arm around him

"It's ok, it's just hard. I had so much there and now I seem to have nothing. It's a big change"

"You're wrong Bradin, you know that?" she said smiling once again

"How am I wrong?" he said looking at her

"You said you have nothing, and you're wrong, you have me and like it or not, you seem to have Mel, mind and heart, but she'd kill me if she found out I told you"

"No way, Melani and I have a past that's… well, I don't think it would ever happen. Plus, doesn't she have a boyfriend?"

"You mean James? If I had my way she'd have dumped him the day after she started dating him. I don't trust him as far as I can see him. You two would be much cuter together" she said

"Keep on dreaming Kelli" he said laughing "plus, who says I like her, maybe I like someone else, maybe I like you"

She laughed "trust me, you like her, and on the me topic, I already have my heart set on someone else. I go for brunettes anyway, but I would like to be your friend if that's ok?"

"Yeah, I guess I can deal with having another friend. How do you know me so well after one party?" he said

"It's a gift" she said laughing "Come on, lets go find the girl of your dreams, then I can go find the guy of mine"

"This isn't a good idea" he said as Kelli pulled him up and toward the party "she doesn't like me, and she has a boyfriend"

"I'm her best friend, all she needs is a push in the right direction and that's exactly what I'm going to do. You'll both thank me soon enough" they walked through the crowd and saw Melani sitting on one of the lawn chairs talking to a bunch of people "Hey Mel" she said and sat on the edge of her chairs. "You two should dance, kinda like a blast from the past thing" Bradin noticed she winked at Mel

"Are you asking?" Melani said looking at Bradin

"Sure, why not?" he said, smiling. Her heart melted as she swore his green eyes twinkled in the moonlight

"Well then, let's do it, I never turn down a dance."

She got up and Bradin slipped his hand into hers as he led her onto the dance floor. It was a slow song, so she placed her arms around his neck and he placed his arms around her waist. They swayed perfectly in sync with each other. Melani placed her head on his chest, feeling him breathe. Everything felt so perfect. She inhaled the smell of him; he was wearing Axe, her favorite body spray. She looked up and saw him looking down at her. She smiled and suddenly found herself rising up to him. She felt his lips touch hers, they were smooth and warm. It was pure heaven. The moment was quickly cut short when they heard someone yell, "HEY! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU MAKING OUT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND?"
