And That Beautiful Goodbye

"So are you ready to escape this party of what?" Brian wondered, a mere shadow of his former geeky self. The only thing that even seemed to be remotely the same was his ever-growing infatuation with Angela.

"Umm, I kinda need to go in there and get something." Angela responded as Brian looked away, feeling the rejection that he had been forced to deal with everyday of his high school career. "But, it shouldn't take that long. You should come back in." She offered, not wanting to make him feel like she didn't care that he was there.

Since Brian had been talking to her, Angela could only think about and concentrate on the fact that Raeanne said that she'd seen Angela's dream guy. This time she wasn't going to wait for him to come around. She was going to make the first move … maybe.

"W-Where is she?" Jordan asked, not even sure if Ricky knew who he was taking about.

"Around?" Ricky shrugged with a smile. "Just hang out here for a little while and you'll find her."

"Yeah." Jordan rolled his eyes, walking away without having any intention of talking to anymore business men or women for the rest of the night. He was going to sit down and think about-

"Oh, so your Isabella is here?" Trixie wondered, following Jordan as he barely flinched at the sound of her voice. Living with her was like constantly being surrounded by the Paparazzi, everlasting and aggravating.

"Don't you have some publicity and talks that you want to be doing?" He tried to get rid of her, trying to relax on the couch they were both sitting on, but unable to succeed.

"Why? You're the big name around here." Trixie added, sensing that something was a little off. "Is there something going on with you Jordan … something that you want to talk about?"

"No. I'm fine." He stood up, looking for a server that would have a glass of wine waiting for him.

"Have you see him?" Angela asked Raeanne, who could only remember seeing him earlier that night.

"Why, what's up?"

"Nothing." Angela sighed, turning her back to the living room that Jordan had been sitting in moments earlier.

"You know you can't lie to me. What's going on girlie?"

"Nothing." Angela forced herself to smile. "You can't get your hopes up about something that's never gonna happen." She spun on her heel, knowing that Brian was waiting for her, while hoping that getting out of the house would result in something positive. For once.

(A/N: Short, but it's something. So don't just sit there, say something about it! –NL)
