you?” She yelled at me. I wasn’t going to take her crap especially tonight that I wanted to meet everyone and try and enjoy this.
    “What the hell is your problem? I’m not dealing with you. Don’t you have something better to do?” I said back to her. She gave me – what I called – an evil smile and slowly turned to walk away.
    She glared daggers and probably ice picks at me. “Watch your back, no one messes with me.” She said walking away.
    “Whatever,” I said loud enough for her to hear. Still she pretended she didn’t. Not caring, I shook that off and kept on with the evening. “Uh where were we? Right, I’m Mia I don’t know what you’ve heard about me and I don’t really care either.  I don’t want to be part of anything here and if you must know I was brought against my own will and I don’t appreciate when people assume things. I didn’t ask for this but it is very nice and all how I’ve been treated and it’s also very nice meeting all of you. I’d be happy to answer any questions that you have.”
    More people surrounded me and my friends. Most were smiling and waving, a few just listened and pretended I didn’t say anything, turned around and left.
    The remaining people introduced themselves one by one and were surprised to hear that it was my first day here. Some said, usually they wouldn’t let a new person go to a ball or a main event for some stupid reason I didn’t know. But I was here and that made them think that I was special in some way.
    “You know you’re the cutest chick I’ve ever seen.” A guy that I had just met told me in front of Mereily and Sophie. His name was Jack and he was cute too. Tall and his eyes were grayish, you could tell he had a body too. Yep, he had the whole package.
    “Hope you don’t think I’m going to fall for that, do you?” I said smiling. “Besides it’s not nice of you to say that. Don’t you think my friends are good looking too? Because I think they are the best looking girls out of the bunch.” I looked at them and wasn’t lying. All the girls looked alike. I’d say we were the only three that didn’t look like the rest of them.
    He smiled and nodded. “Yes, they are pretty cute too. I mean all three of you are little hot-ties but I’d like to get to know you better.” He said singling me out.
    “Sure, as long as it’s only as friends. I’ll tell you right now so you don’t get any ideas.”
    The girls giggled and he laughed. “Of course. Would you like to dance?” He asked confidently extending his arm.
    “Why not?” I waved at the girls and walked with Jack towards the dance floor. We danced for a few minutes in silence until someone interrupted us.
    “May I?” Robert was next to us out of nowhere. Jack didn’t mind and he let him cut in.
    “Sure.” He just shrugged and smiled at me before he turned to leave.
    I felt uncomfortable touching Robert but when I did, it changed everything. Feeling more of the same bond feeling go through me. It was almost as if I was hypnotized. I would have done whatever he wanted me to do if he said so.
    I knew he noticed it too
    “Are you okay?” Immediately his body stiffened. I think it was because he felt the same way.
    “I’m fine.” I forced myself to sound pissed because I hadn’t forgotten the way he had treated me earlier.
    “I just want you to know that you look amazing.” What he said shocked me but I knew he was just saying that because he was a man.
    “Thanks.” I said dryly. “You look great too.” I had to admit that at least but had to swallow so my smile wouldn’t betray me.
    “There’s a reason for this ,” He was talking about our closeness. “I think you know what I’m talking about.” Yes, I absolutely knew what he was talking about and knew he felt the same way.
    “What do you want me to say? I know you don’t want to feel it but do you know what it does to me? Probably not but it doesn’t really matter. I guess there’s nothing we
