We arrive in front of a large villa full of young people talking, drinking and smoking...everything is surrounded by very loud music, help.

I follow Isabel and Sarah towards some sofas where there are Jeremiah, Nathan, Marley, Philip and James, the boy Isabel likes and has been talking about for the whole car trip.

"Hey guys" Isabel shouts excitedly.

"Hi girls" they reply.

I feel quite out of place,so I decide to sit next to Sarah and Marley in a corner.

I see a lot of people that I've passed at school from time to time but I don't really know them, no one would notice me anyway, they all seem to be already drunk even though the party has just started.

"How come you moved here?"

"Huh?" I realize that Philip is asking me a question.

"I was saying...how come you moved here?" he asks again.

"My father has a company with several branches, one of which is here in Miami...since they made him a very important proposal...he decided to come here to live for a few years," I answer.

"So you won't be here long? "Jeremiah interjects curiously.

"Well definitely for the whole high school, then I don't know if for the university I will leave..." I say hesitantly, actually I don't know what will happen at all.

"Perfect, we'll have this beautiful girl at least for the whole high school," Philip says smiling at me.

I turn all red, I hate blushing for compliments, but it happens a lot when guys are sweet on me.

"Someone's in love here," Nathan interjects with a mischievous look, running a hand over his forelock.

"Who's in love?" says a familiar voice behind me, I turn around and find my brother and behind him, Isaac with Meghan attached.

But why she always have to be attached to him, it's not that I'm jealous but I can't stand overgrown girls... it's not at all nice to go from one boy to another every week, to show off too much and mask your feelings just to please the boys.

He is very cute, he has a black shirt slightly unbuttoned, black jeans and a dishevelled forelock.

Meghan is practically naked, she has a white mini skirt that comes slightly above her bottom and a pink top. She's wearing heavy makeup but her barbie pink lipstick stands out.

"Hey baby" says Jack coming up from behind me, I make some room for him on the chair.

And so the evening resumes.

00:30

I spent an hour talking to Philip and Jeremiah.

Philip is a very sweet guy and I get on well with him, even if sometimes he pays me compliments that make me blush.

Jeremia, on the other hand, is an absurd nice guy and always has a joke at the right moment.

I get up because I want to dance even though I don't feel like going alone.

"Do you want to dance together?" says Phil.

"Erm okay" I say but someone blocks me.

"No she dances with me" I turn around and see Isaac.

We stay rather sneaky at his statement.

"No come on I don't wanna-" he grabs my arm and drags me to the dance floor.

We start dancing, the music is overwhelming me and he puts his hands on my hips and I shyly put my arms on his shoulders.

He gets closer and closer and joins our gazes, everything stops ... time, music ... there is only me and him.

It would be nice to kiss him...But

No! I can't ruin everything with a kiss, because it might mean something to him and nothing at all.

He stares at my lips insistently until he gets closer but I duck, about to leave but he pulls me by the arm.

"You're beautiful and I love it when you dance, I wish I could kiss you" he says caressing my cheek, I'm all red but I smile at him.

"Hey Ally are you coming to play truth or dare?" says Isabel.

"Er...no thanks" I say.

"Come on girl...let's have some fun at least" she says taking my arm.

"Oh alright come on" I say.

I'm still shaken by the fact that Isaac wanted to kiss me, he and I could never be anything, he would make me suffer.

I reach the circle that has been created and stand next to Sarah.

"hii,did Isa make you come too? "she says.

"Yeah" I reply giggling.

In front of me is Meghan who won't stop hugging Isaac.

I hate that.

I feel myself being hugged from behind and I notice it's Phil.

He pulls me to him and I sit between his legs.

"Ally, you're here too" he says smiling sweetly.

"Yeah...Isabel made me do it," I say.

We both laugh and then I hear a cough. I turn around and Isaac gives me a dirty look and then goes back to Meghan, little bipolar boy.

A guy comes over and says

"Ok guys, I'm Freddy and I organized this party, now we're going to start with this game, good luck!"'

The first few rounds include people I don't know so I don't pay much attention.

Isabel's turn:

"Ok, I choose Jack...Truth or Dare?"

"Dare" he replies obviously.

"Mmmh...I got it! You have to say what you think about Sarah," she says with a mischievous smile.

I get what Isabel wants to get.

"Well I think she's a very pretty and sweet girl that everyone underestimates just because she's shy," he says looking into Sarah's eyes, who blushes.

I know my brother well and I think he has feelings for Sarah, he's always liked girls with their heads on straight.

Jack's turn "Philip, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Do you like my sister, since you don't leave her?" he asks questioningly.

"Yes" he admits.

I'm speechless, no one has ever seen me from that point of view, no one has ever been interested in me.

I look at him and he smiles at me and I smile back and say: "You have to tell the truth!"

And he answered confidently: "It's the truth".

After a few laps it was Nathan's turn.

"Ok...Allison Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," I answer.

"You're so obvious, you're afraid to take risks" Isaac challenges me.

"Ok then, dare," I answer looking at him threateningly.

"Fine...you have to lock yourself in the closet with Isaac for 5 minutes" Nathan orders me.

Everyone is looking at him and I can't believe it, I don't know what happens in these situations and I'm scared.

Isaac looks at me to ask and I nod weakly.

Meghan is furious and doesn't stop looking at me badly, I stand up and before leaving I say ironically: "don't worry I'll bring your bad boy back safe and sound".

I follow him to the small closet where he closes the door, I lean on the wall as far as possible from him.

I don't want anything to happen, I don't want to...he's just drunk, I mustn't let myself go.

But when I see him approaching me, my heart starts beating fast and I think that even he could feel it.

He strokes a lock of my hair and places it behind my ear.

His thumb moves across my face until it caresses my bottom lip, I want to stop him but I'm enchanted by his touch on my skin.

He looks into my eyes, "What are you doing to me, you're so different from the others...you're so beautiful even to touch."

I hint at a smile, it makes me feel strange as if for the first time I really want someone.

"There's nothing special about me and I'm not like the girls you like" I reply dryly.

"How do you know what girls I like?" he asks laughing.

"I don't know but I guess, you know, the ones who show off in their dress and talk, who fall at your feet right away after you say ,hey baby," I sigh.

"I like the curmudgeonly ones, the ones who drive me crazy with a look, the ones who read books at night before going to sleep...the others are just friends" he replies getting even closer to my face.

I look at him intently to see if what he says is true....but he cancels the distance between us, our lips come into contact as if they had been searching for a lifetime.

It's a passionate, slow kiss and I can't pull away, I don't want to.

He takes me by the hips making our kisses collide while I wrap my arms around his neck making him lower slightly because of the height difference.

I know I'm going to regret it but what I'm experiencing now is all I need right now.

We break off because someone comes knocking on the door, Isaac opens it and a guy gives us a dirty look.

"You've occupied the closet for almost an hour just to make out, now it's our turn" he says entering with a girl.

Isaac quickly grabs my hand and takes me away before I can see anything strange in the closet.

"I'm going to my friends" he informs me, I simply nod.

I walk towards my friends but he pulls me by the arm, "I forgot to tell you that you were amazing," he says and then leaves me with a soft kiss on my lips.

I'm getting into a huge mess, I'm sure.
