Hope you enjoy this chapter!

****************

I make my way through a huge crowd of some excited teen girls and boys who are waiting impatiently for the soccer match to begin.

Boys' eyes are all focused in one direction: The group of young, fit, and pretty cheerleaders who are practicing right on the corner of the field, lead by miss pinky, who seems just fine for someone that has got his car hit this morning.

I finally find an empty seat, and it is next to Bill!

Bill waves at me excitedly.

Awww, I don't want to break his heart by telling him that I have to work with that ass instead of him.

Suddenly, everyone starts clapping. I look around to find out what's happening and I see the players entering the field. I notice Caleb scanning the crowd with his eyes while running across the field as if searching for a certain someone. Then, his eyes focus on me, he smiles and waves at me. I wave back and mouth "good luck".

Now I must say, these boys are killing it! I've never watched any of our school's soccer matches before, so I didn't really expect much from the team, but they are now ahead of the other team by 4 points! Mason has scored three of them, which adds to his ego if that's even possible.

The match ends with a total of 5-1 to our school, Riverside high. Everyone gathers in the field to celebrate our school's victory. Cheerleaders are dancing, couples are kissing, and there he is.. Mason King, carried by his teammates and applauded by the whole school.

That arrogant jackass.

I turn around to see that Caleb is walking towards me.

I smile widely. "Good game!" I cheer him.

"Thanks! I'm glad you came!" He seems happy.

"I've never watched any of our school's soccer games.. So I thought why not?"

"Woah woah woah hold on! This is your first school soccer game??!" He opens his mouth in shock.

"Yup."

"What? Why?!"

"Well I guess I didn't really know anyone here.. Today, I came for you." I blush.

"That's good to hear!" He smiles.

I notice him hesitating as if he wants to say something that he isn't sure of. Then he finally decides to speak.
"Um.. now since we won, Brandon is hosting a victory party tonight at his place, so I was wondering if you would maybe like to come with me?"

Wait a second... Is this handsome dude asking me out?!!

No, Taylor! You're not going to a stupid party! Even with a cute guy like this one standing right in front of you.

"Well.. Caleb, thanks for asking, I really do appreciate it and I am looking forward to spend some more time with you, but.. parties aren't really my thing, so.." He quickly cuts me off before I could continue this sentence.

"I won't take no as an answer! Please come with me and I'll make sure that you'll have a great time! Deal?" He waits nervously for me to answer.

Although I am not the most popular girl around, I have no friends, but Caleb Parker is asking ME to go to the party with him!

Words come out of my mouth before I could change my mind.
"Well, okay.. I guess.."

He suddenly looks happy and relieved.
"Great! Pick you up at seven?"

"Okay."

"Oh, and.. can I get your number?" He scratches the back of his neck. "I mean.. so you can send me your address.."

"Sure!" I smile.

************

Great! Now what the hell am I going to wear to that party?!

I've never been to a party before and I have no idea what people wear to these kind of occasions.

Suddenly it comes to my mind.

Katherine! My dad's girlfriend!

She's got a very beautiful taste in clothes and I trust her, and luckily for me that she's the same size as me!

Katherine takes out a dress from her dressing room and puts it on the couch.

"Try it on! I think that it's gonna look great on you!" She says excitedly.

I shout from the dressing room "Uh, Kat.. do you think you've got like, maybe.. something less revealing..?"

"What? Don't be silly! Everyone will love it!" She says. "Plus, I think it's time for you to get a boyfriend."

Even if I can't see her face right now, I can imagine exactly what she looks like. She's grinning widely.

"That Caleb guy seems nice!" She says.

A smile instantly shows up on my face. "He is. He's so sweet.. but I've only known this guy for like one day, so don't get your hopes up."

"Besides, you know exactly how I feel about having a boyfriend again, Kat.." I add.

"Yeah, I know sweetie. But one bad relationship doesn't mean they all are!"

"I.. don't really know about that."

After like 10 minutes of trying to pull my zipper up, I finally manage to do it. I go out to find Kat looking at me admiringly.

I look at my reflection in the mirror to find myself wearing a short, tight red dress that goes off the shoulder, and a pair of high black heals, with my dark brown long wavy hair spread on my back and shoulders.

"There's no way in hell I am going to wear THIS!!!!"

I look like a freaking Coca Cola bottle!

"Oh I'd love to see you try and change it!" She gives me the scary eye.

Her tone softens again and she smiles proudly as if admiring her fashion taste. "Well isn't this better than those pair of jeans and sweatshirt you were gonna go to a PARTY in?"

"Those definitely were more comfy." I try to reason with her but stop immediately when she gives me a death stare.

Suddenly, we hear a car honking right outside the house.

"Well that's Caleb!"

I run downstairs putting my hair quickly in a messy bun hoping that Kat won't notice.

I feel very nervous that my stomach starts to hurt as I open the door, "Wait!" Kat stops me. "I almost forgot." She pulls my messy bun down and lets my hair loose on my shoulders.

Shit. She noticed.

"Better." She says and pulls me into a hug. "Have fun!" She waves at me.

A white Range Rover parks outside my house. Caleb is waiting beside it. His jaw drops when he sees me. I walk towards him, he takes my hand and kisses it.

"You look gorgeous!" He smiles.

I feel butterflies fluttering through my stomach and my cheeks turn red.

"Thank you!" I say shyly.

It didn't take us much time to get to the party, maybe ten minutes max.

We park outside a huge villa where so many cars parked.

We walk to the front door and music fills our ears once that door opens.

Brandon greets us and gives Caleb a bro hug.

"Is that the girl from the washing room?!" He yells so we can hear him over the loud music.

"She is." Caleb smiles. "Brandon, meet Taylor. Taylor, Brandon." Brandon shakes my hand.

"Welcome to the party!" He says and then gets pulled by a blondie right behind him.

We laugh.

"Brandon is my best friend." Caleb says.

"I know." I say.

"What? How?" He asks.

"How wouldn't I? Every single one in our school know who you are! Girls basically drool over you."

He laughs.

He spots someone and waves at them. I turn around to see Mason standing right behind me.

"Hey bro!" Caleb says. "This is Taylor!" He introduces me.

"I know." He smirks.

"Wait, you know each other? How?" Caleb asks.

"It's a long story." Me and Mason say together.

We look at each other both looking annoyed.

Caleb notices. "Well, Okay." He raises an eyebrow. "So.. where's your girlfriend?" Caleb winks at Mason.

Mason rolls his eyes. "Oh don't remind me.. She wouldn't leave me the fuck alone man." He looks bothered. "Anyway, I'm gonna go get a drink, enjoy your party." He says that and leaves.

"How could he talk about his girlfriend like that?!" I ask Caleb angrily.

He bursts into laughter.

"What's so funny?" I pull my eyebrows together.

Caleb tries to straighten his face. "She's not actually his girlfriend. She wants to be but Mason can't stand her. And he doesn't do relationships."

"Well that is modest." I say sarcastically. "Of course. No one can reach Mason King's level."

"It's not like that.." Caleb says. "Mason is actually a very good person. He doesn't really like to show it much."

"Well I'm sure he is." Once again with the sarcasm.

"Well enough about Mason. Would you, gorgeous lady, like to dance with me?" He offers me his hand.

I smile. "I'd love to!" I take his hand and we start dancing.

I actually am having fun, which is totally different from what I was expecting earlier. I am so grateful that I met this handsome, kind man that's dancing with me right now.

After like 30 minutes of dancing, my feet start to hurt and I run out of breath. "I'm gonna go get a cup of water." I say loudly so Caleb can hear me over the music. He nods at me.

This house is huge, I figured that it would take me a while finding the kitchen.

A girl notices me struggling, so she comes to me and asks me "Are you looking for something?"

"I am, actually. Do you happen to know where the kitchen is?" I ask her.

She nods. "Follow me."

I follow her through crowds of people dancing and having fun.

We reach the kitchen, I immediately drink two cups of water like I've been living in the desert for the past month.

"Thank you!" I tell her, still trying to catch my breath.

"You're welcome! I'm Natalie."

"Taylor." I smile.

She shakes my hand excitedly.

"Have you been here before? I mean, you seem to know the house well.." I ask her.

"I happen to live here. I'm Brandon's sister." She tells me.

"Oh! I kinda see it now.. You two look alike!"

Natalie is a beautiful girl with dark brown, wavy, short hair with pink ends that barely reaches her shoulders, and a pair of beautiful, wide blue eyes.

"Yeah he's my twin brother."

"Oh! I've never seen you before in our school.."

"Yeah that's because- I've been home schooled for 2 years until this one.."

She seems nervous and I don't want to ask her why or push it too hard because I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

"I'm here with Caleb." I say trying to change the subject.

"Oh! Caleb is a really nice guy. I love him." She says "I mean, like a brother!" She explains.

I chuckle. "We're not dating. This is actually the first time we go out together." I say. "I totally forgot! He's actually waiting for me. Would you like to come?"

She smiles and nods.

We finally find Caleb standing with Brandon.

"Natalie!" Caleb gives Natalie a hug.

"Hello again, Taylor." Brandon winks at me.

"Hey bro! She's my date tonight!" Caleb says.

We laugh.

"CALEB!" A beautiful blond girl comes and wraps her arms around Caleb.

"Mia. How many drinks have you had?!" He asks her.

"I've lost counting.." She laughs.

Who's that girl and what does she have to do with Caleb?!

"I'm taking you home right now!" He says angrily.

"Nooo please don't! I'm having fun!" She pouts.

"You know mom and dad are gonna kill you right?"

Oh. So she's his sister..

"I'm so sorry Taylor! I have to get my sister home.. would you like a ride?" Caleb asks me.

Before I could even answer, Natalie holds my arm and says "No, I need someone to stay with! Will you stay with me Taylor?" She asks me.

"Okay.." I say.

"Great!" She claps.

"Okay then.. see you tomorrow Taylor!" Caleb waves and carries his sister on his shoulder heading to the front door.

After a good time of dancing and talking with Natalie, she tells me to wait for her until she comes back from the bathroom.

I notice an open door leading to a balcony.

I go outside. It's empty here and kinda quiet. I lean over the edge of the balcony. It's beautiful here. It views a big garden with lots of roses.

I close my eyes enjoying the breath of fresh air and the wind that's lightly hitting my face. When I feel a hand grabbing my waist.
