"Come on Rylee set your stupid book down and come dance with me. You do know this is a party right?" askes  Malory.

    " Just because you invided me to your stupid party and I came doesn’t mean I have to dance with you." I said.

     " Fine if you won't dance with me I'll ask someone else then." She leaves me to my book and goes to the dance floor. All I can see as she leaves is her white dress flowing away like a leaf in the wind. 

   As I am reading I can hear the sound of music but town it out. It's just me and my book I tell myself. but then i see a shadow overhead of me and a low manly voice,"So you like reading”. I look up and see the person. It's a guy. He has blond hair with gray eyes. He's muscular and looks like he doesn't belong here, like me. 

  " Of course why else would I be reading a book at stupid party", he chuckles.

 " So what book are you reading?" he asks.

     " I'm reading to kill a mockingbird."  I say.

           " Cool, hey my name's Jason, but everyone calls me Jace" he says. 

 "Hey Jace, I'm Rylee ''. “So how did you come to the party". I feel stupid for asking him that probaly by car. 

   " Oh my friend Logan forced me to come, and you?" Jace says.

   " Oh the same I mean I was going to spend the night at my friend Malory's house but she forced me to come so she put me in a red tank top, white jeans, and a leather jacket. then she did my makeup and we left". By this time he's already sitting down next to me. 

   " Hey Rylee, do you want to dance?” He asks. I don't know if I should or shouldn't but for some reason I want to say yes. 

   " Sure why not". I say. He stands up and puts  his hand out. I grab it and he pulls me up. Not in the yanking way but in the ill help sort of way. 

   We walk to the middle of the floor and know I hear a slow song. so i wrap my arms around his neck and he puts his hands on my waist. " So what grade are you in". I ask

  " Oh, I'm  12th and you". He sounds  relaxed when he's talking like he has talked about this all the time with other girls he's gone out with. 

  " Me well I’m in 10th going".  At this he is still smiling like he doesn't give a damn that I’m in 10th.  That's when he puts his mouth up to my ear and says "Hey uh can I get your number". I feel a tingle in my body.

   " Uh sure.” I take out my phone and give it to him and he gives me his phone. I type my nine digit number in and put my name on it then I take a picture of myself. I give him the phone and he gives me mine. I pop the phone into my pocket and start dancing with him again. 

   I then whisper in his ear " Want to get out of here:" he looks at me in aw. He takes my hand and brings me to the outside of the house. I see the car that Malory drove over and I say "in here". He opens the door for me. I scootch my butt into the other side of the car. He shut the door.
