stated.
    “Chill out ,” Tobias butted in. “Audra, go to your thing.”
    Audra walk ed to Tobias’s side and gratefully nodded before making the walk to Stephen’s. One of the pleasant coincidences was that Stephen only lived a couple blocks away. With the temperature dipping lower with a cold wind, it made her appreciate the proximity. It didn’t stop her from zipping up her jacket higher by any means.
    Stephen’s house came into view, and Audra made quick work of going up the walkway and ringing the bell. Stephen opened the door enthusiastically. He pulled her in for a tight hug and shut the door behind them. The living room was filled with about twenty peers from school, and the music was turned up loudly. Stephen handed her a can of soda as she hung her jacket up on the coat rack, already understanding that Audra didn’t drink.
    “Chris!” Stephen shout ed over the music.
    Audra watche d a petite guy walk over with bleach blond hair and dark roots with honey colored eyes. Stephen’s eyes lit up, and it was more than obvious that this was the crush he spoke of a few days ago.
    “Chr is, this is Audra,” Stephen said.
    “Hey ,” Chris acknowledged.
    “Hey, nice to meet you.”
    Audra sipped her drink allowing Stephen to enjoy Chris’s company while she people watched. She wasn’t really searching for anyone in particular. She was only slightly disappointed that Molly wasn’t going to be there. The doorbell somehow managed to ring louder than the music.
    Stephen went to the door leaving Chris and Audra by the dance area. His eyes followed Stephen towards the door, and it brought a smile to her lips. It seemed that Stephen wasn’t the only one interested. Chris flushed, catching her staring at him.
    Stephen returned with a huge grin of his own and a twinkle in his eyes.
    “Chris, I’d like for you to meet Mateo,” Stephen said.
    Mateo step ped closer to Audra’s side nodding his acknowledgment. His hair, styled in the usual wall of protection, surrounded him allowing the one-eyed contact. He seemed even more closed off with his dark t-shirt and jeans; the complete opposite of her teal shirt and light wash jeans.
    “You both transferred in on Monday ,” Stephen continued.
    Audra glance d over at Chris as he leaned closer to Stephen.
    “Lucky me ,” Chris responded.
    Stephen began to dance with Chris, leaving Audra feeling awkward standing next to Mateo. She pointed to the table filled with cans of assorted soda and beer; he agreed. While he picked up a can of soda, she tossed her empty can in the black bag meant for the recycling. She scanned the crowd searching for an empty couch or chair, but there wasn’t anything available. Audra checked to see that Stephen was still distracted before walking down the hallway towards the back of the house and out into the glass-enclosed sunroom.
    Audra plop ped down on the comfortable tan couch that overlooked the lush, green backyard. Memories of past summers spent running through the sprinklers or playing tag with Stephen passed through her mind. The peacefulness and security of their childhood was all locked up in one place.
    Mateo sat beside her sipping his drink while looking around the room. It dawned on her at that moment that they hadn’t even said a word to each other yet. A feeling of immaturity started to set in quickly, but why should she have to break it first? He hadn’t even said hello to her. Audra crossed her legs in defiance and pulled out her cell phone to check the time.
    His hand reache d out with palm up. She wondered if he wanted to see the time as well and handed it to him. He opened it up and went into the ‘Create A Message’ option and began typing. Audra furrowed her brow in confusion until he gave it back.
    U’re quiet 2night.
    Audra erased his message and typed back a response, showing him.
    U’re always quiet.
    He grab bed the cell phone typing back.
    Does that bother u?
    Audra smirked and took the phone back.
    If u’d
