I eyed the girl suspiciously as she approached both of us.

"Hey there Blake, how wa-" she said, she immediately stopped as she took a look at me.

"Uh… hey there.." I said awkwardly. She continued staring at me like I was a foreign animal.

"Uh.. Nellie, this is.. Uh.. Michael." Blake said as he pursed his lips and I found it cute. I kinda wanted to feel those of lips of his, to know how they moved. WTF?! Seriously?! What the hell brain?!

"Hi there Michael, I'm Nellie Veitenheimer." She said fondly, offering a hand. Nellie was gorgeously breathtaking. Her eyes, a shade of golden brown. She had short crow black hair that hid half of left cheek. She was strikingly beautiful.

"Hi Nellie" I said giving her a small smile. She smiled back, and she looked like a goddess. We stared at each other for a couple more seconds.

"So…" Blake started, interrupting our moment. "Nellie, did you hear about Shanna's little house party?" he asked. If I didn't know any better, I assumed he was a little jealous of me and Nellie's interaction.

"Yeah, I already heard." She answered, she was still looking at me and I started blushing. " So, do you want to come Michael?" Nellie asked me expectantly.

I gave Blake a look and this time, he wasn't looking at me. He was pretending to look at other people. I kinda smile and I nodded at her. "Excellent." Nellie said smiling.

"I've got to go to class, see you boys around." She said as she parted ways with the two of us.

"She seems nice." I said to Blake once we were alone. He didn't respond and he looked annoyed. His brows furrowed and his mouth forming a scowl.

"What's your first class?" he asked flatly.

"Uh… Biology.. Why?" I said

"Great, we have the same class." The way he said it didn't seem convincing and I bit my lip and tried not to laugh at him. I ended up giggling a little and he eyed me suspiciously, arching an eyebrow at me.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing." I said as I smiled at him. He frowned and this time I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What?!" he asked, getting a little annoyed.

"I think we're gonna be great friends Blake." I said, still smiling. He looked confused but started to smile.

"Yeah." he said as we walked to our class.

After the bell rang at last subject, I was already familiar with who to talk to and who not to talk to. Blake had filled me up about everyone and who I must do my best to avoid talking at all costs.

Blake had a lot of "friends". He was part of the football team and thus everyone in the team, he claimed, were his "friends". He also had a number of people who I was surprised were his friends.

One of them was Abraham. Abraham was a nice guy, pretty sassy and stylish. He had black hair with a streak of red highlights. If you were a judgmental person, you would've referred to him as gay. He was just androgynous and feminine.

Abraham was part of the Glee club, alongside Shanna, Nellie, Blake and a couple of other people. I still didn't fully understand why someone like Blake was part of the Glee club.

"So you're telling me, that you only joined Glee club because of Nellie?" I asked him as he was driving us over to Shanna's while I sat in the passenger seat of his silver sports car.

"Yeah, I… uh… kinda like her." Blake said, keeping his eyes on the road. "Which is why I kinda got irritated when you flirted with her this morning." He said tightly.

I laughed and he turned to me arching an eyebrow. "That was nothing, I assure you man." I said giving him a reassuring smile.

"It better be…" he said.

We got to Shanna's around 6:30pm the heavy bass of the speakers could be heard outside. He got out of the car immediately and quickly opened the door for me.

"Thanks." I said laughing.

"No problem." he said smiling.

Everything was crazy inside. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the party and I noticed that the people here were all part of their Glee club as Blake had shared.

"I didn't know this was the Glee Club's party." I shouted to Blake as the loud bass drowned my voice.

"It's okay, Nellie wants you to join us." He shouted back.

"Nellie wants me to join?" I asked.

"What?" he shouted, he didn't hear me.

"Good party." I said smiling at him.

"Yeah." He said smiling back.

Blake had a few drinks now and then and I wondered how'd he'd manage to go home in that state. He wasn't drunk yet, but I could tell he wasn't far from being so.

"Want one?" Ali offered me a glass of something with ice as she saw me standing by the finger-food table. Ali was a sweet, pretty blonde girl who happened to be in a wheelchair. She had an accident when she was two, leaving her paralyzed from the chest down ever since.

"No thanks, I don't drink." I said politely. She smiled and rolled away.

After half an hour, half the people were wasted and the others still dancing. I spotted Blake sitting by the couch and he looked.. drunk. He had his head down and was slouching on the couch. I went and sat next to him. When I sat down he looked up and smiled.

"Hey Mikey!" He said cheerfully

"Mikey?" I asked confused

"Yeah, your'e Mikey! and I'm Blakey!" He said enthusiastically. I laughed. It was cute, I thought. He started to get up on his feet but fumbled and fell back down.

"Hey easy there." I said, readying my hands to catch him if he fell on the floor.

"I wanna lie down Mikey.." he said to me pleadingly.

"Uh…okay… wait here Blake." I said

"Blakey." he corrected.

I bit my lip and smiled. "okay, wait here Blakey."

"Okay" he said smiling. He was like a child and I couldn't help but be fascinated at how cute he was acting.

I went to find Shanna who was talking to Tyler by the stairs.

"Hey, do you like… uh… have place where Blake could crash? He's really drunk and wants to lie down." I said

"Oh, Umm… there's a guestroom upstairs, across the bathroom, he could stay there I guess." Shanna said.

"Oh okay then." I said smiling at her. She smiled back and returned to her conversation.

I got back to Blake who was sitting innocently on the couch. When he saw me, his face lit up.

"Mikey!" he said, his arms extending for me.

"Let's go upstairs so you can lie down." I said as I draped his arm over my shoulder. He was a little heavy since he was bigger than me. It was a challenge as I brought Blake upstairs. He cooperated though and in no time, we reached the top of the stairs. I found the bathroom and opened the door across from it.

The room was a little small. With one bed and enough room to sit on the floor. I gently helped Blake onto the bed and when he was lying down, I turned to go back downstairs.

"Mikey wait!" he called. I turned around to find him sitting on the bed. "Don't leave." he said, his voice caught with emotion.

"Errr… the others might look for me." I said. My heart started beating faster. This moment with Blake was something I wasn't expecting.

"I want you to stay." he said longingly. My heart skipped a beat. What was with Blake? Was he gay? but he told me that he liked Nellie so I was becoming confused.

"Why?" I asked, flushing a little.

He grabbed my arm, pulled me closer to him and kissed me in the cheek. "Because I like you to."
