I cannot believe how fast this year has passed by.

Some people will tell you being the first grader aka freshman is kinda lame, because you are in the lowest grade in high school, but it wasn't bad, it was great actually… I'm a cheerleader, I've got great grades and I've got a boyfriend. Oh, and I have two most amazing best friends ever.

What more can I ask for?

This year was great for Bayview's East high. Their basketball session has been great - they were 3rd in the national basketball tournament. People says it's because of Dan Kuso and his friends, but I don't think so.

I mean the team had great team spirit and they worked tog-

Oh, who am I kidding? Of course Kuso is responsible for the success of our team. I just don't want to admit it aloud.

I just don't like the kid.

After our little fight, he teases me a lot. When we have classes together, during my cheerleading practices, even on the bus. He's sooo annoying and I don't know why people like him.

I wouldn't necessarily call us "friends".

I can feel Mira Clay's gaze on me every time Dan's around me. Also I could tell Julie isn't too too happy about Dan being around me this much. Also I can't forget Hydron, who hates Dan since primary school.

Hydron finally told me the reason why he hates Dan. They weren't buddies in primary school - they were like enemies. A part of me not liking Dan has to do something with this information. Of course I'm gonna be on my boyfriend's team.

But I gotta tell ya that I'm not having much fun with Hydron anymore. He suddenly got cranky and I don't like it. I know people say never give up on love no matter what, but I swear day after day my love for Hydron drops. We fight, have hard time agreeing on things and we never act like a couple.

Anyway not important.

Tonight is the party, that cheerleaders and athletes have every year at the end of the school year. I wasn't gonna go because Hydron can't go, but we had a huge fight so I'm going with my girls. I know Alice isn't part of the cheerleading squad, but Julie and I made sure she was invited as well.

I stare at myself in the mirror, not completely sure if I'm happy with my outfit. I've been staring at myself for like 10 minutes. I take a quick photo, sending it to Julie, so she could tell me her opinion. After about a minute, I hear my phone vibrate.

The outfit looks gorg gurl! But maybe you should try on the white crop top! xx -Jules❤

Oh right! I totally forgot about that top. It was a gift from Julie for my 14th birthday. It's a bit slutty looking, but I look good in it.

...

"C'mon, let's go get a drink!" Julie yells, dragging me and Alice thru a pretty huge crowd.

"There's alcohol?" Alice asks, kinda shocked.

"Every party has alcohol!"

"I have no intention to get drunk, Julie!" I say to her.

"You have to, at least have one drink."

"Fine, just one."

"Shot, Shot, shot, shot..." people cheer loudly, while holding a drink high in the air. It is so hard to hear someone say something, because there's loud music everywhere. I look around, seeing mostly familiar faces, but also some new ones. I'm shocked seeing certain people this way, but it looks kinda fun.

I take a glass and takes a shot as quickly as possible.

"It burns..." I tell Julie, who also took a shot with me. She nods her head. I look at Alice, who was unsure if she should drink or not. "You don't have to, you know..."

"I know, but I kinda want to try it. I'm always doing same things over and over again and I'm kinda tired of that."

"Then here you go..." I hand her a glass. She nods and takes a shot.

"It really burns."

...

"I'M SO WASTED!" Julie screams as she dances with myself and Alice. I feel really relaxed and those worries that I have with Hydron are long gone.

"Guys, Imma get some fresh air, but I'll be right back." I tell the girls. It took me about two minutes to get to the main door because so many people were in the way. As soon as I stepped out of the house, I took a deep breath.

"Hey, kid!" a familiar annoying voice says. I turn around and my thought is correct - Daniel Kuso.

"What do you want?"

"Whoa, Whoa... what's up with the attitude? I just wanna talk, that's all."

"Fine, I guess talking with you isn't that bad."

"You drunk, Runo?" he asks, smilling.

"Noooo..." I reply. I lost my balance for a second and I thought I was gonna fall, but Dan caught me just in time. "Okay, maybe just a little."

"You should be careful, Runo." Dan says. "Let's go sit down..."

"Fine..." we sit down on the porch swing. "Dan, why are you here with me?"

"Whatcha mean?"

"You know I'm dating Hydron..."

"So what? I don't give a fuck about what that prick thinks of m-"

"I know you don't care, but I do. Every time you're near me, Hydron gets mad."

"Is the reason why you won't talk to me Hydron?" I stay silent. "Runo, Hydron is a prick. He is no good and I can't believe that you managed to stay in a relationship with him this long."

"He isn't that bad..." I try to defend my boyfriend, but I'm actually considering agreeing with Dan. He's not the same person he was when we first started going out.

"Defend him all you want, I know him longer than you do and I doubt he changed nor will he ever change." he goes on.

"Why do you even wanna hang out with me?"

"You seem like a person I wanna be around with. Your personality is so different from the other girls and I really like that." he explains, which made me smile a bit.

To hear him say that made me really happy.

"You aren't that bad either, you know..." I reply, smiling at him.

"Really? I thought you don't like me." he says in more like a teasing voice.

"Nah, but you can be annoying sometimes..."

"You're just too easy to tease, you know..."

"And you're taking advantage of that!" he just laughs, shaking his head. I take a second to really look at him.

He is handsome. Really really handsome.

I'm pretty sure my drunk form is saying this. I never actually considered finding Dan attractive, expect the first time I saw him.

When you are in a relationship, you don't care about other people.

"Thank you, Dan."

"For what?" he asks.

"For talking to me. I really needed that."

"No worries, Runo." he laughs, looking at me. "We friends?"

I nod.

I take back whatever I said anything bad about this guy.

"We friends."
