Please review!

"You know where fights start?"

"Where?"

"A party…with beer."

XdoubledateX

Wrapping the scarf around my neck I stared into space. "Maybe I should commit suicide." I said to the air around me blankly.

You could say that being alone at a local park is weird. And being alone at a local park with no jacket on In the middle of winter is also weird. I stared at the large tree in front of my eyes. "What if I just-?" Throwing the scarf around a low branch a tightened the grip around my neck. Trying to grab the other end of the scarf, so I could pull on it hard thus choking myself and sending my body to heaven, I sighed.

"Nah."

I needed to deal with my problems. Which meant I needed to deal with telling Julie the truth about Shun. Soon the scarf blew onto another higher branch from the large tree, and then got stuck. I tugged on my end of the scarf sending a mountain of snow after me. I fell to the ground, brushing the snow off of my shoulders mumbling curses to myself.

"Maybe I can dodge it." I smirk came to my lips, "I mean why can't she just get the hint that he doesn't like her herself? She's never told me anything about my recent cheating boyfriends!"

I kicked the ground around me. Bunching my arms around one another, hugging my body for warmth, I really never felt to out of place, until now.

"Im giving up."

I looked to the sky, the cloudy endless sky. But it almost seemed like the dark clouds were covering, shielding the earth from the blueness above. I needed to break free from this rut, but what was the good solution?

Choice A: If I start to become good friends with Dan, maybe, just maybe we'd be as perfect as BFFs.

Choice B: If I start to date Shun, then Julie would hate me, and nobody would be my friend because sooner or later Shun would dump me.

Choice C: If I tell Julie the truth, she would love me, Shun would hate me, and Dan would still be my friend.

All in all choice c is where the heart is. First I needed to head back home, so I took my first step into the snowy slush. Something was keeping me back. I looked at the scarf in the tree, still tugging on my neck. I uncoiled myself and never looked back at the waving scarf.

It would come down sometime.

Right now I have more shit to handle then tight scarfs with bi polar issues.

"Guess who's having a party!"

I sighed against the phone. "Who?"

"Me!"

I walked over to my bed, "Good for you."

"And you're obviously invited."

I mumbled against the pillows. "I'm not in the mood."

"What? I can't hear you."

"I said I don't wanna." I called out into the phone.

"But I want you to come."

"So?"

"So now you come."

"Well, when is it?"

"Tonight."

"When did you decide on this?"

"Today."

"Who else is coming?" I begged for a second, begged to the God around me that she didn't invite Shun. That would ruin everyt-

"Shun, Dan, Alice, and everybody else in the school. Y'know some friends and stuff."

I mentally bitch punched myself. This is going to ruin everything. Maybe if Shun was drunk, I'd be able to get away from him and tell Julie the truth.

"Will there be beer?"

"Oh Runo! Your finally understanding your age!"

"We're 16."

"Exactly."

I rolled my eyes, what was she going to grow up into? "Ok I'll come, but not for you."

"For Dan, right?"

"Sure, whatever. See you in a few."

"Ok babe, party's almost star-" Then her voice sounded distant, like she was walking away, I heard the doorbell ring on the other line, the teens were already at her house ready to party. Where were Julie's parents? "Ok Runo, bye."

I heard the click.

Slowly walking to my mirror I checked myself out. I looked like Frankenstein's wife. I quickly popped into the shower changed and ran out the door. And on the way to Julie's house I made a plan. A plan of tonight's party mission.

This party was not for fun.

It was war.

Full out war.

And it was me against Runo.

"Runo's here everybody!"

I put on a smile, waving to the groups of teens all cuddled around with bottles of beer in their hands. It seemed awkward when somebody wasn't drunk at a party, so of course I drank a bottle hoping that I was now "In" the group.

"Shun's not here yet." I Looked around the room curiously.

"Yeah he said he'd be late." Julie replied, drinking down another beer. I licked my lips as I watched her chug her drink down. The beer looked good, but I wasn't going to get dragged in. Now was the time to tell.

"Julie." I touched her shoulder; we were currently sitting on the couch in her den. Watching teens grind to the music.

"Hm?" She replied, placed her bottle near her feet.

"Well…I think…" I looked stared at the bottle, then back up, "Shun isn't the right guy for you."

"What?" She chuckled, "Why?"

"He told me something yesterday." I started to fiddle with my hair, tugging on the pigtails.

"What? About me?"

"No. Well yes. Kinda."

She waited before answering, "So what did he say then?"

"That…he sorta…liked me?" I smiled, trying to act like saying this was sooo casual.

The same face stayed on Julie, she looked at me with this fake smile. "What?" She said behind smiling teeth.

"He said he liked me." I repeated.

Suddenly, the music died down, was everybody listening? At the corner of my eyes I watched as currently dancing teens stopped their grinding. And the boys stopped their flirting.

There was a cold feeling in the room as everybody waited for what Julie was going to say.

"That's a lie." She spat out.

I looked back at her. "A lie?"

"Yeah, who'd ever like a girl like you?"

Was my best friend really saying this to my face? I looked right through her, as if she was a ghost. All I could say was, "What?"

"A stupid girl like you. One who's boring, lame, uncool." I saw her eyes becoming blurry. "Smart, funny, talented…"

She just went from insulting comments to nice ones. Was she jealous? I could only stare at her.

"Shun likes me!" She sat up, glaring at me with burning eyes and cheeks. "You don't try hard enough for him!"

"Well If that's so true why did we have to go on a double date!" I was getting angry, I didn't care if people were watching, "Its not my fault he likes me more!"

"I heard that you two are always flirting when im not around!" Julie yelled out, getting closer to my face.

"That's bull crap!"

"Well someone told me that she heard you scream and run out from the nurse's office. The same office Shun was currently sleeping in! Did you two do something in there?"

My thoughts came back for a second. Was Shun really in the nurse's room, the same room where Dan tried to seduce me?

"N-no that's a lie." I shuttered.

"You're such a liar!"

"I'm not a liar, out of all the years I've known you I've never lied once!"

Julie turned away, rolling her eyes. "Yeah right. Now I don't feel like we were ever friends at all."

"Why? Because boys like me more than you?" I said. All the feelings were coming out.

"Boys? Nobody likes you more than me!"

"Now you know that's a dumb thing to say." I replied, tapping her shirt.

"Is not! Im more popular than you!"

"Who cares about Popularity?" I yelled to the floor.

Suddenly things died down. Like the room became completely empty. As if all life just stopped, nobody moved, nobody said a thing. Then Julie spoke up again, quietly.

"I should have never asked you to go on that doubledate, it ruined me and Shun's relationship."

Why was I ever friends with Julie in the beginning? I was done with this.

"That's all you think about huh?" I walked past her. Before I opened the front door I looked back at her, "By the way Julie, I never wanted to go with you. I really do hate Shun. I really do hate this party. And most of all, now, I really hate you."

I looked around the room quickly, watched as girls and guys gave me this look, like I was a badass or something. "Thanks for the invite." I replied.

I opened the door and there stood Shun. He gave a quick smirk, and I gave a glare. "Move." I replied.

"Why? I just got here." He fumbled out from his mouth. I pushed him out of the way and walked right by. I then heard the boy call out, "Wait! You're not staying?"

I didn't answer.

I was going back to the park, because my neck was really cold. And that scarf was probably off the tree by now.

I was confused. I didn't know what I was feeling.

Lost? Depressed?

Alone.

As I crawled to the park, I saw my scarf blow from the treetop. It was still there struggling to stay on. It was still cloudy too. It felt like I really never left the park. All was still in place. Except for the boy who was sitting at the swing set staring at the ground.

"Dan?" I said truly perplexed.

I watched as the boy pulled his head up, and a growing smile awaited his lips. He gave a small wave, signaling me over.

I stepped forward; step by step I began to run. He was like freedom, somebody who I could talk to. He wouldn't get mad at me, or hate me; he would feel happy when I was around. That's what I wanted right now.

Dan.

"Hey." He said with a smirk.

"Hey." I replied back.

"Why are you here?"

"I was getting my scarf back." I pointed to the tree not too far from here.

No response, until, "Need help getting it back?" He said, still looking at the tree.

"Nah, I'll wait till it blows down."

It was then quiet.

"Do you live near here?" Dan asked.

"Yeah, right across the street."

I walked to the swing next to him and sat. Turning towards him I began to talk. "I think Julie hates me now."

"Why? You went to her party?" Dan said, looking back at me.

"You were invited too right?" I skipped over his questions.

"Yeah, but no offence, I don't like Julie that much."

"Yeah…me neither."

The boy gave me this confused look, like I grew a head or something. "But aren't you best friends?"

"Yeah, well not anymore." I stared at my shoes, how torn up they looked.

"You got into a fight or something?" Dan asked.

"Yeah, we said some things about Shun." I chuckled, "Blah blah, same old same old."

He stared into my eyes, like he was looking into my soul. I felt heat rise to my cheeks. Could he tell that I was really hurting inside?

"So now what?" He asked.

"I don't know."

"I heard that Shun likes you." Dan replied, changing the subject.

"From who?"

"A friend of mine that went to the exact party you went to."

"Ahh."

We both looked ahead, out towards the scarf blowing tree.

"I don't like him." I stated. "He's so obnoxious."

"Yeah, I don't really know why Shun and I are friends either." I saw the boy frown, staring at his shoes, as if he had nothing else to look at.

He looked distant.

Far away from reach.

I want him closer.

"Dan…look at me."

He blushed a bit. Then staring into my eyes, with a frown still plastered to his face he mumbled, "What?" And I felt my body lean closer. I could've sworn I heard a gasp release from his mouth as our lips collided. And as we sat there, connected, he wrapped his arms around my back, and I pulled my hands behind his head.

I could hear the wind wail. The swings next to me rock back and forth. He breathed from his nose, giving hot air against my cheek. It felt good on my freezing body.

We didn't let go, or stop, we just let our tongue's play, our teeth mash.

Bliss erupted. Suddenly a felt a soft object latch onto our faces. We broke away and saw the scarf on the floor below out feet.

I gave out a weak laugh, and Dan merely kissed me again, not caring about the scarf.

He pulled my swing towards him, letting me more near him. He sighed, and I moaned with relief.

I may have lost Julie, but I gained Dan.

And that's all I really needed now.
