I saw her from across the party, standing tall above most people's heads with the boys. She was grinning something stupid with freckles like stars in the sky.
Her laugh roared above everyone else's and it made my face radiate with heat, but I swore it was the alcohol.
I cleared my throat, looking away and smiling when Sasha came back with an armful of brownies.
I reached out to grab one and she quickly jerked them out of my reach.
"Nu'uh, sweetheart, these aren't normal brownies—let's not overdo it," she winked and went to hollering into the crowd, catching that hot girl's attention as she raised her hand to Sasha. The two met—why didn't Sasha tell me anything about knowing her?
The girl nodded at her, taking a brownie, and then went to retrieving her iPod.
Like a flash of lightning.
I felt the tip of my ears burn as our eyes met.
She stopped and fumbled her iPod and Sasha took it to Connie who was the DJ.
The girl weaved through the crowd to me, taking off her hat, smiling that stupid grin I saw.
I gave her a smile that hurt my own cheeks as she came over.
She got so close before stumbling.
And then cursing.
And then losing her brownie on the floor and getting a drink spilled on her front.
"O-Oh—Oh my Goddess gorgeous—I mean God!"
She was a keeper.
