was just dangerous and she knew it.
    “I guess a little.” I lied to play the part. We both knew what game we were playing and we had to try and do it right. I had always known she had a thing for Jack and anyone could see why, he was a nice guy. Sometimes the thought of not being with her was like heaven. “How about we get our own table?” The idea of having those two all over each other in public was just not going to work for us.
    Genevieve talked about herself of course, for what seemed like an eternity. About fifteen minutes had passed, more people were starting to come in and the noise level was going up. Suddenly music started playing from the speakers on what was the stage. Denise, one of Genevieve’s friends came to sit at our table and started chattering away. She was as annoying as Gene but that was why she was friends with her and others just like them two. Someone tapped my shoulder interrupting my thoughts.
    “Hey, how are you doing’?” Kevin, another senior asked, taking a sit to my left.
    “Fine and you?” I asked to be courteous. Kevin and I had been friends. He and I had been roommates a few months ago before I went to Maine.  Now and then we talked occasionally but we were not close friends by any means.
    “Just enjoying the view, you know.” He playfully punched my arm and let out a laugh.
    “You never change.” Kevin was not a ladies’ man, more like a douche bag but girls were always following him around. I just did not understand it.
    “Got to have fun dude. You should try it sometime and maybe you wouldn’t be so damn uptight all the time.” He said it with sarcasm but I let it go as soon as Mia walk into the room. She caught my undivided attention. “But then again you do know how to have fun. Bad boy Townsend is still in there somewhere.”
    I tuned him out. Not wanting to talk about my past at the moment, especially with Kevin of all people.
     “Really? The new chick? Bro, go for it.” Kevin was saying and I knew Genevieve had heard him.
    She had stopped talking to her friends to pay attention to me. I glanced at her feeling guilty and glared at Kevin.
    He shrugged and stood up to leave. “Whatever.” He walked off leaving me to hear Gene’s mouth. I waited but she didn’t say a word, she simply smiled at me and stood up and then she was off to… she was walking towards Mia. 

CHAPTER 8
MIA
    I had never been in a place like this, it was incredible. What I had seen in the morning was nothing. They had added a bunch of other things. More decorations, from the tables to the ceiling and the lighting made an incredible effect off the decorations. The dance floor was full of people dancing to a current song I didn’t know. It was a ball but they were not going completely old school. It was more elegant than anything I’d ever seen.
    This was a commencement, the end of one thing and beginning of another for me.
    “Let’s go mingle.” Mereily said, “You have to get to know everyone. Just stay away from certain people.” she whispered. I wasn’t entirely show I was the one that needed that advice but I nodded anyway.
    “Like Genevieve.” Sophie added and Mereily sighed. At least I hadn’t said it out loud this time.
    “Let’s try to enjoy this, please,” Mereily smiled awkwardly.
    “Hey girls what’s going on?” Some girls that had been staring finally came up to us.
    “Lana, Layla and Yasmin, this is Mia. And Mia this is Lana and Layla they’re twins and this is Yasmin she’s graduating this year.”
    “Hey.” I was going to try to have a little fun tonight, if it was possible.
    “Hi.” They all waved.
    “Did I miss something?” Genevieve walked up to us. “What the hell?” She said as she stared at my dress. “Who made you one of us?”
    Glaring at Genevieve for her intrusion I corrected her, “I’m not part of anything. It’s just a dress.” I simply stated.
    She scoffed, “It is not just a dress! You don’t know anything, how stupid are
