~~~~~

A few hours pass and, somehow, I've ended up pressed against bodies on all sides, Hannah and Priya the only two I know.

It was probably because we were in conversation in the middle of the dance floor, but I hadn't seen her yet and I wanted to talk to her.

I told her happy birthday and all that, but also asked, "Who else from school is here?"

She turns to me, her dress setting us a foot or two apart with how big it is. "Besides your group and Sabine, only a handful of kids..." She trails off and her expression turns bitter. "Nicole being one of them."

This grabs Hannah and I's attention. "Why is she here? You don't even like her." Hannah mentions.

"I know," she shrugs. "But our dads are good friends and I didn't want to be a hassle."

"Well if I were you, she would be the first person on the Not Invited list." I pipe up.

She sighs. "Yeah...but that's exactly why I invited three hundred other people. So I don't have a chance to see her." Priya flashes us a smile and we laugh.

We talk for a few more minutes before Priya is wanted somewhere else. Hannah and I continue dancing, having the best time of our lives. The music is pumping and everyone around us is having a good time.

That's until a few songs later when Hannah's eyes focus on something and she stops. "Uhh...Em?"

"Yeah?" I say half out of breath, stopping my swaying.

She tugs my arm and spins me in the direction she's looking. Pointing ahead I see the one person I'd rather not. "Ew." I make a face as my eyes land on Nicole.

"Yeah, okay, but not that Em. Look at who she's looking at." Hannah tells me.

It takes a moment but when I follow her eyes, they land on someone, and my blood boils. She's staring right at Jackson and basically undressing him with her eyes.

I can feel the look of disgust on my face become more noticeable. I turn back to Hannah, but she's already looking at me. "Go get him. Please."

With a wink and a nod, she leaves me to deal with Nicole by myself. I turn around and an overwhelming sense of jealousy washes over me.

I don't like the way she's looking at him. And I hate that he has no idea. But he's talking with some of his friends, so why would he?

Whether he knew or not, I wasn't going to let Nicole's imagination run wild any longer. Squeezing past a few bodies, I walk towards him, glancing in Nicole's direction a few times.

When I come into view, his eyes land on me and he excuses himself from his friends. I don't even give him the chance to speak before I pull his hand down and kiss him.

His arm is quick to wrap around my lower back as he kisses me in return. And although I want this to last forever, he's the first to pull away.

There's a smirk and confusion plastered on his face. "That kinda came out of...nowhere?"

I blow out a breath, but my face is hot with anxiety when I realize I have to answer his follow up question.

"What was that for?"

My eyes slightly widen and my nerves overpower my ability to speak. "Uhm...I don't-" I stop myself there and rephrase. "No comment." I blurt out and look away.
