Selena~~
It was in between lunch and 5th period and I didn't wanna go to Trig. Mr. Grant really wasn't the best person to be around, especially since he never teaches.
It was Friday and the party was today. I'd finally recover from my cold and I needed to get out more.
"SELENA !!" squealed out a voice. I turned around to see Cerena running towards me in her 4-inch heels and short dress. I had to be honest, she was a pretty person, but with a demon inside of her.
"Hi Selena !" She perked up.
"Hey Cerena"
"Did you get the invite ?"
My mind floated back to Monday when Hunter made me go with him. He was so close to me. Really close.
"So are you coming to my party tonight ?"
her question cut my thoughts short.
"Yo-your party ?" I stuttered
"Well of course ! I'm the one and only one to !"
Her face glowed with excitement until she jerked backwards. Someone grabbed her arm, it was Mo. "We need to talk" his voice ice cold and bitter. It actually scared me to be honest. With no hesitation she turned back to me and excused herself. That's strange.
Ding ding !
"Shit !!" I muttered as I sprinted down the hall. I was gonna be late for class again !!
~~~
"BIANCA !! I'M LOSING MY SHIT !!" I screamed flinging the clothes out of my closet. It was 30 after the party started and I had absolutely nothing to wear !!
"BIANCA !! I'M DRESSLESS !! " I dropped down to the floor, I couldn't take this mental stress. I told Hunter I was gonna meet him there and now I'm late. He must've thought I was standing him up. He must hate me.
Bianca crouched down to my level and held me. "Calm down Selena. It's gonna be okay." she rocked back and forth with me. She stood up and searched through her purse and pulled out a plastic bag.
"I always have you covered" she smiled. I hopped up and squeezed her tight. I love her so much.
I quickly slid on the white dress, white flats, and put on my "emergency contacts". My eyes looked very green tonight and I liked it. The night was young and so was I. Nobody could stop me tonight.
I kissed my mom goodbye and hopped into Bianca's car with her at the wheel.
Tonight was gonna be fun.

Selena~~
To call the building immense would be an understatement. It was a building that looked identical to the design of the white house, but only a lot more urban. "Okay I'm going inside now Sel. I'll meet you inside, okay?" Bianca confirmed. I gave her a nod and popped the trunk as she walked off to the party.
Two vague silhouettes came walking towards me, before I could even turn around, the two figures grabbed me by the shoulders and pinned me to the side of the car. It was Melanie and Sarah, one of Cerena's goons.
"Look Selena," said Sarah, "I'm gonna ask you this question one time and you're gonna answer, got it?"
I gave her a disgusted look. She had the audacity to speak to me like that?
"Helloooo? Are you stupid, answer her?" jumped in Melanie.
"What. Do. You. Want?" I responded harshly
"Do you know the real reason why Hunter actually talks to someone like you?"
My heat began to beat a lot more rapidly than it naturally should. Where did these two come from asking these kinds of questions? The only time they ever contemplated looking at me, was when they were laughing at me with Cerena.
"I don't fucking know. Why are you asking me?"
"He's just playing you to get to Cerena"
My blood in my face rushed to my directly to my feet. Their words echoed throughout my mind. "He's just playing you" "Only for Cerena"
"You're lying" I huffed as I pushed them to the side. I fast walked my way to the front doors. I could faintly here one of them say in the distance,
"Go see for yourself! You're just gonna be broken on the inside"
As I thrust through the front doors, there it was. Hunter and Cerena kissing on the stage, nearly seducing each other on stage. Everything in my body went wrong. My bones felt frail, my eyes became watery, my face turned frozen solid, but most importantly
My heart plummeted back to reality.
"See Selena?" Cerena proudly spoke into the microphone. "He used you Selena. It was all to get a date with me and $300. Can you get that through your head now?"
I couldn't believe it with my own eyes, but my nightmare had become true.
I had been played like a sappy little kid who needed the affection.
I was worthless to him.
"Gonzalez wait!" cried out Hunter from the stage. I quickly walked over to Bianca by the drink table. I couldn't stay here any longer; I might do something I'd regret later.
I stuck out my hand in an impatient manner, "Give me the keys Bianca" I said with no emotion. Her face turned a bright emotion of confusion, wanting me to explain before she'd do anything.
"GIVE ME THE FUCKING KEYS BIANCA!!" I roared out in irritation. Without dismay she tossed me the keys. I turned and tried to make my ways to the entrance, but Hunter grabbed me by my arm with his hand.
His cold merciful hands
"Gonzalez, let me explain." he requested
"Explain what? The fact that I was used as one of your little toys Hunter? I thought you were different, but now I see that you're the same dick that I hated in the first place."
"No Gonzalez it's not like-"
I didn't wanna hear his crap any longer; I had to get him off of me. In wrath, I grabbed the punch bowl and dumped it all over his head, pouring out all my anger and distress over him. He automatically let me loose, whipping all the punch off of him.
"Selena I didn't mean for this to happen to you"
That set the trigger; I darted towards the front doors leaving every positive emotion in my body behind. Every step I took, tears flew faster down my face. "I was complete shit." My thoughts raved on "Nobody wanted me" I had made it to the other side of the parking lot and collapsed on the grassy area, my face against the grass, watering it with my tears.
"Selena I didn't mean for this to happen to you" floated through my mind. The fact that he actually called me Selena made me cry even harder. I just crouched into a little protective ball, trying to protect myself away from the cruel outside world.
A shadowy figure's footstep matched the beat of my heart as they kneeled down next to me. They raised my head onto (it felt like) their knees. I fluttered my eyes open to see Mo, comforting me. The pain in his eyes made it enough as emotional as the situation was. I stood up and just poured it all out on his chest as he rubbed my back in supporting comfort.
Mo was a real true friend.
Hunter~~
The house was GIGANTIC.
The outside of the building looked like a mansion typically did in the movies. I stepped out of the car with Evan in amazement, still unsure of the reality in front of us. A vast white marble exterior reflected off the shine of the stars, with a fountain in the front driveway to tie its magical appearance together.
People were already pissy drunk asleep on the lawn. I was 30 minutes late and I felt terrible, Gonzalez was probably inside waiting for me, thinking I stood her up.
"HUNTER!!" squealed Cerena as she came sprinting over. She had on a mini-skirt and a patchy navy blue v-neck. The theme of the night was "Winter Related".
I had put on a blue t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and my snowflake beanie. I came prepared, "Wow you look great!! Where's Selena? And where are your crutches?" she questioned as she linked her arms into mine.
I smirked, "Gonzalez said she was gonna meet me here with Bianca. And my doctor said I didn't need to use my crutches all the time, so I decided today was the perfect occasion." She giggled and we walked into the building.
Once we stepped in, the booming noise of the speakers blasted into my eardrums. The lights were dimmed and pointed towards the stage where the DJ was mixing club songs together. It looked as if the whole school had come to the party, even some of the nerds. The dance floor had the lights raving in different colors as people grinded and danced. The rest of the people were either chatting or on the floor passed out with their cups. *Note to self: The punch must be spiked*.
We walked off with Cerena. But in the back of my mind, I was still finding Gonzalez.
We walked over to a table where her and her two friends, Melanie and Sarah, were seated with Evan and some guys from the team. Cerena and I talked for a bit about random topics.
"Stefano said she's here girls" she told her girlfriend. They excused themselves from the table and left.
She turned her attention back to me and gave a sheepish smile. She was a nice person but I felt a little awkward.
The DJ scratched the discs and shouted out, "HEY OH! Lemme get your attention real quick!!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and brought their attentions to the man. "It's time to announce the King and Queen of the Winter" he stretched the "er" as the crowd applauded. The applause died down in suspense for the results.
"The Queen of Winter is... the 'One and Only' Cerena Kosmos!!" The whole crowd roared in applause and whistles. She swayed around, blew a kiss, and winked. She scurried up and grabbed one mic from the DJ.
"And now for our King of Winter...HUNTER AROGAZOS !!" I felt my heart skip a beat at the sound of my name being called. I stood up to hear a crowd clapping like I'd won a Grammy.
I strutted up to the stage to see Cerena giving me a flirty look. I grinned at her. She was an attractive girl; I couldn't help but to smile at her. We turn to the audience, accepted our crowns, and bowed gracefully. She turned and stared at me with her profound cerulean like eyes, which glimmered in the stage lights. She stepped up a bit closer and there it was, her lips smack onto mine.
They were so soft and tender. Her lip gloss tasted like cotton candy at a fair, you picked at it, the more you wanted the more you picked. Next thing I know I find myself grabbing her tiny waist and pulling her up against my body as her hands slowly went up my chest and around my neck as she melted a bit. My hand made my way up her shirt as her hands lowered.
She pushed off of me out of breath, turning and giving a mysterious smirk out in the crowd, leaving her hands on my chest. Confused I turn and see something that made my body freeze on the inside.
Gonzalez was standing in the middle of the dance floor with her mouth wide open.
"See Selena?" Cerena spoke into the microphone. "He used you Selena. It was all to get a date with me and $300. Can you get that through your head now?"
My heart dropped like a judge's gavel in court at the words Cerena dared to say through her lips. Gonzalez stood there with her hands balled in a fist.
"Gonzalez wait!" I cried out from the stage. I nearly soared to the dance floor in a flash.
She had sprinted over to the punch bowl area where Bianca was. "Give me the keys Bianca." She alleged bitterly sticking her hand out. Bianca began to hesitate in fear. "GIVE ME THE FUCKING KEYS BIANCA!!" she shrieked in pure anger. Swiftly Bianca tossed her the keys and tried to turn around before I grabbed her arm.
"Gonzalez, let me explain."
"Explain what? The fact that I was used as one of your little toys Hunter? I thought you were different, but now I see that you're the same dick that I hated in the first place."
"No Gonzalez it's not like-"
Before I could finish the sentence, she grabbed the punch bowl. The red juice flowed over my head, shoulders, and chest. I wiped the punch off my face in shame.
"Selena, I didn't mean for this to happen to you"
And that was the end of it; she sprinted towards the door slamming it behind her. I rapidly swung the door open but it was too late.
Gonzalez was nowhere in sight.
