in front of me like bait.
    “I would feel better if Blair was going with you, but I know she is out of town. Call me if you need me, we’ll be up until you're back home.”
    “Okay, and yes, she is having a blast. She emailed me earlier with a few photos of the border.” She dropped the keys, and a huge grin came across my face, as I kissed her cheek and headed out the door.
    “Curfew is midnight.” She yelled.
    “Okay.” I yelled back, and slammed the front door, heading to her car. I didn’t even know whose party it was, but I was going to have some fun, so it didn’t really matter. I deserved to have some fun, and my parents knew it. They’re so proud of me, and I loved that they were. I felt so accomplished to have made good on their expectations of me, so far. I started the ignition, put in the address of the party, and began my journey into the unknown. I decided to dress up, because I rarely got a chance to do it, so I went all out. I had on a purple dress, black short heeled boots, a long silver necklace, and a few bracelets. I had my hair down, and freshly washed, with diamond studs. I didn’t know if the party was at one of the rich kid’s houses from my school, so to be safe, I knew jeans weren’t going to cut it tonight. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at a huge mansion that was the biggest house I’d ever seen to date. I was never on this side of town, because this was where the rich lived. I parked, and took a deep breath, and pulled out the invitation, to double check the address. “Yep, this is it.” I muttered to myself.
    I got out the car, and walked up the long driveway, and wondered why I didn’t hear any music or see any kids hanging about? Then I remembered the invitation said: ‘ select few, only you.’ I approached the massive black door, and a wave of anxiety had suddenly come over me. I wondered if I should just leave now, but I wanted to have some fun, so I pushed the doorbell twice and took a deep breath. I waited for a few moments and the door opened. The view in front of me literally knocked the wind out of me. It was him, Johnathan Asshole Pierce. I wanted to run, I was mentally telling my legs to turn around and sprint back to the car, but I couldn’t move. I was sure my mouth was hanging open as he smiled at me. “Johnathan Asshole Pierce, what are you doing here?” I snarled.
    “Asshole? Am I really that bad Kathleen?” His amusement was evident, and it made me even madder.
    “No, you, you’re worse. Is this where the party is?” I asked, stretching my neck as I looked behind him, pretending that he wasn’t even standing right in front of me, looking gorgeous in his black jeans and t-shirt. .
    “Yes, come on in.” He moved aside, and I saw his eyes travelling up and down my body, as I walked past him, and into the massive mansion. He closed the door, and stood there taking in my appearance, I could literally feel his eyes on me.
    “Why are you answering the door for someone else’s house? That’s a little odd.” I stated. As I walked further inside this huge mansion, my eyes roamed all around, and I suddenly felt like my house was as small as a monopoly game hotel piece. This place was massive!
    “Well, this is my house, and I invited you, Kathleen.” My head snapped around, and I looked at him, taking a few steps back, and exhaled.
    “Why did you, invite me?” I asked him, as if I barely could talk, my voice was so quiet. I think I was still in shock, knowing that he was the one who’d left the note in my locker.
    “I wanted you to have some fun. I’d heard you got accepted into your top two schools.” He boasted.
    “You did, did you?” I hissed. “Well, your girlfriend will be paying for that little breach of confidentiality, once she’s back from Canada.” I snarled.
    “Well, don’t be too hard on her… I did ask.” He admitted.
    “You inquired about me, what for?” I shrugged, shaking my head at the same time.
    “Call it curiosity.”
