As we pulled up to Izabel's house I could feel tension rolling off Rin like a waterfall. I looked over at her. She had both hands clenched into tight fists on her lap. I knew this was going to be hard for her... but isn't it a good thing for her to finally be getting out?
"Hey." I said softly.
She looked up at me expectantly, pushing away the look of worry on her face. "You don't need to worry." I grabbed her hand with mine and I felt her hand relax.
Taking in a deep breath, she finally said "Okay. Lets go."
I got out and ran to her side of the car to let her out and she gratefully grabbed me hand. I had always felt confident. Since I was little I was always standing up for what was right and always speaking my mind. My parents had always taught me not to worry about what anyone else thought of me and to just... well... be me. Maybe that's why it was so hard for me to understand what happened next.
As we walked in I felt stares from everyone. "Hey guys!" I said with a grin and walked over to Izabel. "How's the party going?"
There was loud music and drinks. Snacks and passed out people. Already?! I rolled my eyes at them.
"Hey Jill!" She said bringing me into a hug. "I'm glad you made it." She turns to Rin. "And Ray was it?"
"Um.. actually-" Rin started to say before Izabel cut her off.
"Whatever, so I wanted to introduce you to some Jill. He's really cute! You two would be perfect together!" She pulled a guy by the arm over to us. He was dark and mysterious with dark short black hair that hung just below his collar and almond colored skin. His eyes were dark and scorching.
I looked at him and then looked at her. "Actually... I am-"
She cut me off too. "Nonsense. You too enjoy. Oh hey Roy would you mind filling up my glass for me?" She shoved the guy toward me and faced Rin.
Rin snapped back angrily. "My name is Rin."
"Whatever." She sighed and walked away rolling her eyes.
I grabbed the drink out of the guys hand and tossed it at her.
She gasped. "WHAT THE HELL!" He dress was soaked. "Get. Out."
"Fine." I grabbed Rin's hand and headed for the door. When we were almost to the car I looked over at Rin to see tears streaming down her face. "What...." I grabbed her and pulled her to me.
