- Zoey - said my mom when she saw me - Oh, who is him?
- He is Henry - I told her
Henry smiled and said hi.
- Is your new boyfriend? - asked Sara
Henry and I looked at each other. We laughed.
- No - I said - We're friends
Sara smiled.
- I know - she said
Henry stayed for dinner with me, Sara and my mom.
It was kind of weird but I think it was actually super cute seeing Henry trying to act like a polite guy.
We end up dinner and I had to wash the dishes.
- Your mom is funny - Henry told me
I looked at him.
- Really? My mom's not funny - I said
- Yes she is, but she has a special humor that is difficult to understand but once you understand it she is awesome making jokes
I smiled and rolled my eyes.
I ended up washing the dishes.
- Well.... I think I'm going home - he told me
- Okay - I smiled
I walked outside with him.
I smiled and he hugged me.
- Bye - he said walking away
- Bye - I smiled
I got in home and went to school.

Friday arrived.
Emma, Olivia and I were having lunch.
- Did he really stay for dinner? - asked Emma
- Yes - I smiled - But we are friends
- Oh - laughed Oli - But he is in love with you Zoey
I looked down.
- I know but.... I can't do anything - I said
- That's true - said Emma - Hey girl, have you decided what are you going to wear tonight?
I completely forgot about the party.
- Mmm.... not really - I said
- Do you want us to help you? - asked Emma
- No - I said - I think I know what I'm going to wear
I went home and spent the afternoon trying to choose the perfect clothes. I was looking inside my closet and finally found the perfect look.
I think it was a little bit too much for me but it was actually cute and sexy.
The night arrived and I had dinner with Sara. Mom had just left.
- Okay Sara, make sure you clean the dishes Okay? - I told her
- Yes - she said - Have fun
I left and walked to where the party was.
I was supposed to meet with Emma and Olivia in the door but they weren't there. I started to look around when somebody appeared.
- Zoey! - it was Belch
Henry was there too.
- Have you seen Olivia and Emma? - I asked
They looked at each other and then looked back at me.
- No - they told me - But you can come with us anyway
Henry put his arms on my shoulders and we started to walk.
Once we got in I drank a little bit because I needed to activate and dance and have fun and that's what I did.
I was dancing with Victor when Emma appeared.
- Emma - I said - Where the fuck were you?
She laughed.
- Sorry - she told me - I was so anxious to get in so we walked in before you came
I smiled.
- It's okay - I said
I turned to saw the other part of the group and I saw Henry and Patrick talking.
They went outside to smoke a couple joints.
I don't know why but I felt like I had to follow them, so I walked outside too.
Once I was outside I started to look around to find them. I saw them and started to walk there, but suddenly, a boy stopped me.
- Do you have a lighter?  - he asked with a cigarette in his mouth
- No - I said with a rude face
He suddenly smiled.
- Sorry - he told me - I see you have to do something important
He was so cute and his smile was wonderful.
I smiled.
- Sorry - I told him - I don't have a lighter but maybe my friend......
He interrupted me.
- I don't need a lighter - he said - I have mine
- And then wh..... - he interrupted me again
- It was an excuse for talking with you - he told me
I smiled.
- Really? - I said
He started to smoke.
- Yes - he smiled - You are beautiful
I laughed.
- Well.... I have to go but,... maybe I'll se you around- I told him
- Oh - he said taking a paper and a pen out of his pocket - Would you give me your number?
I laughed.
The paper was actually cigarette paper and that made me laugh.
- I see you smoke a lot - I told him
- Yeah..... well, I am hooked - he smiled
Patrick's POV
I was sitting outside with Henry when I heard some familiar laughs.
I turned to see what was going on and I saw Zoey talking with a boy and she seemed so happy.
- Who is that? - I asked
- That's John - told me Henry - he is a nice guy
We looked at them.
The motherfucker was getting on my nerves trying to flirt with her. "She is mine!" I thought.
He gave her a paper to write her number.
"Zoey don't do it".
Zoey's POV
- I don't even know your name- I told him
- I'm John - he told me - Your name is Zoey, right?
- Yes..... how do you know it?
- I have a lot of contacts - he smiled - Well, are you going to write your number or what?
I looked at him smiling.
- I don't think so - I finally said - See you later
I walked away.
- Really? - he said
I turned to see him and he was smiling.
I went to where my boys were.
Patrick's POV
And she didn't do it. That's my girl.
