Danny's POV.
Even though the sky was already dark, it was as bright as day with Vlad's mansion lit up with strobe lights as if this were a movie premier.
"My man Vladdy really knows how to throw a party!" My dad exclaimed.
"Yes, just don't get overly excited Jack, we don't want a repeat of the party two years ago." My mother said cautiously.
I was starting to get nervous. We were here. I was going to see her. Do I just go up to her? Or do I pretend I didn't see her? What if she doesn't want to talk to me? She probably won't want to. I wouldn't want to talk to me either.
I adjusted my collar and tie a bit trying to breath better.
"Aw Danny, I can't get over how grown up you look" My mom gushed.
"I still don't get why you decided to wear the monkey suit instead of the jumpsuit I had for you!" My dad moped.
I was wearing a fitted suit my mom bought me instead of the white and black jumpsuits that he brought up for me. Which there is no way in hell I was going to wear that. Also someone might notice I just look like a backwards Phantom. He had decided to wear his usual orange jumpsuit but added a bowtie to make it formal.
"Unless there was a little lady you were trying to impress" He said winking at me.
"Oh yes! Isn't Sam going to be here Danny?" My mom said excitedly.
"Yea, she is." I said wishing this conversation was over.
We walked inside and were greeted at the door by non other than Vlad Masters himself.
"Hello! Maddie how have you been? You look as lovely as ever." He said taker her hand and kissing it. Ew.
She smiled uncomfortably, knowing what a creep he was, unlike my dad.
"Vladdy! How are you old pal!" My dad said giving him a hug picking him up.
"Put me down." He said irritatedly. Once he was let go he turned away from my dad brushing off his suit and turned to me.
"Ah yes, Daniel how are you?" He said with his sly smile.
"Good, thanks." I said my eyes darting around looking for her.
"Yes… Well then, enjoy the party," Vlad said almost eerily going on to welcome the next guests.
"Well Danny, why don't you go find Sam so you have some company." My mom said sweetly.
"Sure." I responded instead of saying 'Well she probably doesn't want to see my face right now but why not?'
I wanted to see her but I didn't, more like I didn't want to see her look at me with hate in her eyes that I deserve.
After walking around the large ballroom full of adults for about 15 minutes I was stopped by Sam's mom. My heart started racing: she had to be close by.
"Hello Daniel! Don't you look dashing! How are you?" She smiled almost as brightly as the diamond jewels that were on her neck and ears.
"Great, thank you, and how are you?" I said trying to be as polite as I could even though I was so distracted by the thought of Sam somewhere near. I was honestly a bit surprised about how nice her mom was being towards me I had thought she hated me.
"Just spended! What a fine party. I'm guessing you haven't found Samantha yet?" She asked which caught my attention.
"No, not yet."
"Listen, Daniel, I won't lie, I did not like the idea of my Samantha being friends with you, but I have never seen her so… So happy before we moved here and well… I think you are part of the reason." She said with almost a sad smile. Well not any more... But I really did make a difference?
"I uh-" How was I to respond to that? I took a deep breath and said what was in my head.
"She has made a difference in me and my happiness as well." I could feel my cheeks getting warmer.
"Oh there's Sammy now!" She said pointing over to a refreshments table.
My heart stopped.
To call her pretty would be an insult.
She was so beautiful.
Her short hair was curled with half pinned back with a small diamond hair clip, her usual smokey black eyeliner was in crisp black wings that contrasted her blood red lipstick.
The dress she wore looked like it was made for her, simple silk black contrasting her pale skin and hugged her curves with sleeves that hung off of her shoulders.
I hadn't realized that I was walking over to her until I was standing right infront of her.
"Hi" I said feeling like the wind had been knocked out of me.
Sorry the chapters are a bit shorter, I feel like it adds some suspense :D anyways thank you so much for reading this! I honestly cannot believe I am at chapter 27. Also I just wrote three more pages of stuff so more to come!
