~Eddie~ (At the party)
"Has anyone seen Juliette?" I ask
"Nope, she probably doesn't come to things like this." Gareth says
"How would you know?" Jeff says
"Did you see her, she's super shy bro, she won't be here."Gareth adds
"You guys are no help."
I rush off upstairs in desperate need of a bathroom when a girl bumps into me and causes my drink to fall.
"Oh shit I'm so sorry." Juliette says
It's her.
"Hey it's you." I say trying to conceal my excitement
She looks at me and I can see the embarrassment in her eyes.. in her beautiful glossy eyes.
"Oh hey.. I'm super clumsy I'm sorry, I can go get you a new drink."
"Don't worry, I wasn't thirsty anyways."
We both softly laugh.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"Just trying to be a typical American high schooler, downing shots and getting trashed."
"Nice." I reply
Really Eddie.. "Nice?".. that's all I can say?
"What about you? Whats brings you to this party?"
You.. I wanted to run into you Juliette.
I gotta say this shit out loud.
"I was actually hoping to run into you."
She looks caught off guard.. but also flattered.
"Why's that?"
I step closer to her and we lock eyes, I do my best to not stand in front of her in an intimidating manner.. but I can feel her demeanor soften when she's around me.
"Just thought we could get to know each other better."
Her eyes glisten at me.
"That would be nice Munson.. I mean Eddie."
Munson.
I smile "Call me Munson, it sounds good coming from your lips."
I see the blush forming on her cheeks when we get interrupted.
"Hey Juliette we've been looking for you!"
Jason Carver.. what the fuck does he want?
I glare at him and I can tell he's surprised to see Juliette with me.
"He bothering you Juliette?"
"Of course not we were just talking." she answers shakily
"Yeah Carver, we were talking.. what is it to you?" I say slightly raising my tone
"I don't know Munson, everybody here knows what a weirdo you are.. or should I say.. freak?"
I hate that word.
Without hesitation I lunge at him angrily, Juliette stops me and I now feel bad for the uncomfortable position I've put her in.
"Good one Carver.. very original." I whisper under my breath
"I'm gonna go." she rushes down the stairs and leaves the tense scene we have created
Jason stares me up and down and lets out a laugh.
