WE DANCED SOME more, the alcohol kicking in my system making my body wobble. At some point, I had two shots of tequila which blurred my sight with its harshness.

I peeked at William, who was sipping on a bottle of beer and seemed bored out of his mind.

"Are you looking at that cute guy?"

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Mikayla say that. Could she see William? That meant he isn't my delusion. As I followed her hand, I saw her pointing at a guy sitting just next to William making conversation with his friends.

She couldn't.

"No, I just blanked out," I lied.

"Whatever you say, girl."

With that she took off strutting to Elijah who was playing beer pong with his friends.

As she went out of my sight, I walked towards William, taking a beer as I passed. People around were just chilling with no care in the world. Good, no one would see me talking to him.

"You bored?"

"This beer tastes like shit," he complained, "and the party sucks."

"Well, how were your parties any different than this?" I asked.

"I don't remember my teen parties but the college parties rocked."

My eyebrows shot up at the new information. I was correct of him being twenty or more. I didn't trust my drunk self so didn't say anything.

"Come on, dance with me," I said reaching to pull him up.

"You can't keep up with my moves."

"We will see about that," I said dragging him to the dance floor. People were on full mode of dancing and singing along. 

William was a terrible dancer. He couldn't dance even if his life depended on it. Well, if he was alive, that is. I tried showing him some moves but we ended up just jumping and swaying to the beat. I would occasionally catch him looking at me smiling, or holding me up whenever someone bumped into me.

We took a small break from all the dancing and made our way to the counter to quench our thirst.

"Hey, no more of that beer," he said taking away the red cup.

He was so sweet and caring, that I could just kiss-

I shuddered at the thought. But couldn't help think how it would feel. Would he return the kiss? Or be disgusted and laugh at my inexperienced moves?

"You okay?" William questioned, worry flashing across his beautiful face. I noticed he had a little scar going down across his left eyebrow. 

I slowly traced along the scar to which William stiffened, placing his hand to move away my arm. I drew my hand back quickly feeling stupid for letting the alcohol control my actions.

"Yeah," I said, "I need to use the washroom, I will be back."

"I will be by the pool!" He called out as I pushed past the people. I didn't wanna think about the scar and my bladder seemed to help me forget it as it threatened to burst at any moment. Finishing my business, I washed up and started to look for Mikayla when I heard some whispers.

I followed along the path where the sound came from, stopping in front of a study room. The door was slightly ajar, letting me peek inside. Could it be Mikayla?  I would have just gone away if it was not for Elijah with some girl.

But the girl was not anyone else but Britney.
