Chapter Fifteen

Okay, so, not everyone was drunk. It was mainly the kickboxing guys who stole the alcohol who were drunk, as they started drinking without everyone else. The rest of the people at the part were dancing to the music that was blasting out the speaking from the cabins, and right now it was Wild Ones by Flo Rider ft. Sia. One of Adrian's favourite songs as he was very into dance music.

He was standing on one of the porches of the cabin dancing with Rose as he was the closest to her when she wanted to grab one of the guys to dance with, while Lissa and Christian were dancing nearby. A huge bonfire sat in the middle of the area with Mason and Eddie standing around it with their friends, drinking away while Jill, Sydney and Dimitri were scattered around talking to their friends.

The song ended for the small group of dancers to stand there laughing, enjoying themselves, having a good time. Mason glanced over, slightly jealous that Rose grabbed Adrian, while Sydney stood there and watched Adrian.

"We'll be back in a minute."

"We're just going to grab some beers for us four." Lissa and Christian walked off hand in hand, leaving Adrian and Rose standing there along. Rose leant against a wall and let out a happy sigh, for Adrian to move next to her.

"Are you having fun?"

"So much fun. This is totally my kind of party."

"Did you used to party a lot back at your old schools?"

"Oh please, despite being public schools, half the time my friends and I broke into our schools and ended up having parties at three in the morning in the middle of the school field." Adrian reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette to light it up then put the packet away. Normally when he was around the guys he would offer them one for them all to occasionally take one. But Rose, Lissa, Jill and Sydney never took one and hated the idea of him smoking, so he never bothered offering them one. Even if they were drunk out of their minds they would probably refuse one. "Are you having fun?"

"Yeah, it's been ages since we had a party. Come on, I think Lissa's being dragged into talking to Eddie and Mason."

Rose took Adrian's hand and dragged him over to the bonfire where Mason had managed to convince Lissa and Christian to dance with them. Eddie spotted Jill nearby talking to some of her modelling friends.

"Please excuse me, I'm just going to steal Jill for a bit."

"Hey! Eddie!"

He took her hand and dragged her over to the group, for her to start laughing as he spun her around then slid one of her hands onto his shoulder while holding her other hand and resting his hand on her waist, dancing around the fire with her. Mason offered his hand to Rose, who smiled and took it to dance with her friend just like Eddie and Jill. Adrian took a moment to hear what the song was, which was Domino by Jessie J. Another one of his favourite songs. And by the way many other students circled the bonfire, it was a song they liked to.

Just as Dimitri walked over and offered another beer to Adrian, a flash of light caused them both to cover their eyes, too late when they realised Lissa had taken a picture of them to together. She giggled at them, then walked off to take a picture of the dancing Rose, Mason, Eddie and Jill. Dimitri turned his attention over to Sydney, who was being dragged over to dance by her science buddies.

"Hey, why don't you ask Sydney to dance?" Adrian went red in the cheeks. "Oh come on, it's just a dance. Here; hey! Sydney!" This made the young artist shoot a glare at him, then turn to see Sydney walk over.

"What's up Dimitri?"

"Adrian wants to ask you something." The Russian boy chuckled when he saw the 'I'm going to kill you' look in his best friend's eyes and walked off, leaving Adrian and Sydney alone. Rose and Mason stopped dancing to see the two, and Mason nudged Lissa who happened to be nearby with the camera.

"What is it Adrian?"

"Um...do you...wanna dance with...me?" Adrian rubbed the back of his neck, noticing how Sydney went red in the cheeks. She smiled to herself while biting her lower lip a bit.

"Sure, I'd like that."

"Rock my world until the sunlight, make this dream the best I've ever known." The chorus of the song came up just as Adrian took a deep breath in and reached for Sydney's hand. He spun her around, making her laugh then slid her hand into his' while he placed his hand on her hip. She moved her hand to his shoulder. "Dirty dancing in the moonlight, take me down like I'm a domino." Eddie and Jill wandered over dancing the same way and laughed as Adrian and Sydney showed off a couple of dance moves, to which Lissa took photos of.

More songs came and went. Some of the songs the friends danced in a group, while other songs they paired off with each other. As it was an odd number, there was always one person left out who most of the time was Dimitri who didn't particularly have a passion for dancing and would always slide out and enjoy a couple of drinks with his Judo mates. But there was the occasional song where he managed to steal Jill, Lissa or Rose to dance with.

Sometimes Rose and Lissa danced with each other along with Mason and Eddie. Other times it would be Christian and Lissa, Eddie and Jill, and Mason and Rose. But the group always made sure of was that whenever they danced in pairs Adrian and Sydney found each other to dance with. They wanted something to happen between the two, and this party was just going to be the start of it all.

"I'm having so much fun. Are you?"

"Of course I am. This dancing has been great."

After dancing for two hours straight Adrian suggested to Sydney on getting a drink, and after she agreed to it Adrian dragged her out of the dancing circle around the bonfire hand-in-hand. They were so used to holding hands as they had been dancing with each other, neither of them felt uncomfortable or nervous when they reached the drinks table and realised they were still holding hands. Sydney sweetly smiled up at Adrian, giving his hand a quick squeeze before releasing her grip and poured herself some coke, which happened to be the only drink left on the table. After getting their drinks they walked away from the bonfire, towards an empty cabin where they stood on the porch looking out at everyone.

"Thanks Adrian."

"For what?"

"This party has been the best one I've ever been to, and I think it's because you're here. Actually...I've been enjoying myself more at school since you showed up. It's definitely a lot better with you around."

Sydney felt her face burn a bit. Adrian took a sip of his drink, feeling his own face was burning up then settled his drink on a nearby side table before moving closer to her. She glanced up, feeling her heart racing as she saw his face inch closer towards her. Neither of them noticed the others were hidden in some trees watching it all, with the girls all holding in their squeals while the guys all gasped to themselves.

Their lips were almost touching, they could feel each other's breath on their lips. But Adrian stopped and backed away a bit with a thought running through his head.

"This is the girl who's never her first kiss let alone a boyfriend." Did he honestly want to take away her first kiss? Something that's meant to be remembered forever? He didn't want to make Sydney do something she would regret later, so let out a quiet sigh and moved back a bit. The scientist gazed up, her chest not only thumping but aching. She was sad that he didn't kiss her. But then, a thought also ran through her head.

" I'm surprised that he hasn't started making a move on you already."

"Probably because he knows how innocent you are. You know those guys, always talking."

The fact that he didn't kiss her meant that he knew that she never had her first kiss. but Sydney couldn't think of a better person to have her first kiss with. So she dropped her cup and moved onto her tiptoes to kiss Adrian first. Those lips were soft, just how she imagined they would be back in the science classroom. And when he kissed back and slid his hand behind her neck, the kiss because harder and more tender. In the trees, their friends were silently celebrating and watching the kiss. Adrian pushed her lightly up against the wall, sliding his hand down her side to find her fingers and connect them with his own.

After what seemed like forever to them the kiss ended, for both to be bright red in the face. Sydney bit her bottom lip once again, squeezing her grip on Adrian's hand and making him smile before he leant in and kissed her once again.

This time however, the kiss ended when the sound of teacher's voices echoed through the forest causing Mason to run over and grab hold of Adrian and Sydney. The teachers were coming to end the party, and they had to get out before they were caught or otherwise they'd end up in detention.
