I didn't see Ian in class on Wednesday.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9olrzBqSY
Macy was there though. Unfortunately.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh4TlL1Wvu
We still had to continue working on our projects in class and she was just on her phone most of the time. She didn't finish her portrait yet and she didn't even bring it to class to continue working on it. She just sat on her phone and listened to music.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi46p6br3VI
I spent most of class working on the research part of the project, looking for which modern art artist I liked most.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgOyx6mBr
The remainder of the week I spent working on AP Calc and finishing up an english essay about the effects of violent tv shows.

When Saturday approached I hadn't thought of a good plan to get out of the house. I needed to figure out a good excuse to tell my parents or find a way to sneak out. I had to take the bus over to the academy so I could meet Jordan and Sarah at the girls dorm.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdV7IgIzR
I was super excited about going to a party. I hadn't been to a real house party since I was a freshman and they made me go in the closet with this nerdy boy. We were playing spin the bottle and we both got picked to go in a closet for 7 minutes. When we got into the closet he started crying and ran out immediately.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCI3GiKqKs
Hopefully this time it'll be a better experience than that one.

My hair had grown to a short pixie cut with my tight curls coming in. It wasn't long enough to put in a pony tail yet but a few more weeks and I could make some cute little pig tails.

Around 6 I decide to devise a plan on how to leave the house. I opened the door to peak out of my room and see if anyone was in the living room and I couldn't see anyone. The coast seemed clear enough and I stepped out and went to the kitchen to grab a water.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU9hf4iQ0R
I looked around a little more to see if they were in the house. I checked out the window and the car was gone. They're both gone. I'm safe.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EoafMtGgA
I ran back into my room and grabbed my tote and put some essentials in there before sliding my window up and stepping outside through it. Just to be safe.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w9kiweSSx
I walked to the nearest bus stop that went to the other side of town and barely caught it by a minute. I walked in and gave the lady my bus fair and sat down in the front waiting patiently till I got to the academy.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmwmTIcOQZ
After 45 minutes I arrived at the bus stop near the academy and walked the rest of the way. I texted Jordan that I was on my way to her dorm.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WShQdMcJU
My parents never check my room so I think I'll be okay.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dj4cx6muZ
Once I arrived to her dorm she let me in and Sarah was already there.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP4OcSwVBp
"What took you so long we were waiting to start getting ready with you."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSChOPlLGi
"Ugh- sorry. I took a long nap."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIrYg20oFG
"Let's just start getting ready. I'm so excited to look sexy and mysterious." We all laughed at Sarah posing seductively.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9qEjRtE3W
"Okay Vee I have the perfect outfit for you."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHIB9vaGwD
Jordan got up from her bed and walked over to the other side of the room where her closet was. She rummaged through her clothes searching attentively.
She pulled out a short black dress from her closet that was sleek and silky. I gasped at how gorgeous and elegant it looked
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIL5h6FQvP
"That dress is beautiful Jordan. No way I can pull that off."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJDOxwScGo
"Trust me. Once I'm done with you, you're going to look like a supermodel."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BoPYinKlG
Sarah and I looked at each other before she got up and started going through her closet looking for a dress through Jordan's things.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgwcyYWGC3
Jordan already had her dress out on her bed and it was very elegant with the perfect amount of slutty. A red lace mini dress that had a corset in the middle to synch her waist. On top of it was a red mask with diamonds outlining it.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dApjjHlSy
We all spent time getting ready together trying on our dresses and doing our makeup. When we were finally done I take a moment to look at myself in the mirror.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BmZ7rmBcZ
I was wearing the black dress Jordan had lent me along with her louboutin red bottom stilettos that were too high for me to walk in. To top it off I had on silk black gloves and a black mask with rhinestones and embroidery that tied behind my head with a ribbon. My makeup wasn't very heavy, just a winged liner and dark red lipstick.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoDv48uglP
I felt like a princess. Well, a slutty princess.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUswwJw1ET
I didn't really feel like what I was wearing suited me mostly because everything was so expensive. Jordan lent me her 1000 dollar dress and 800 dollar heels so casually like it wasn't more than what I could make in months of working a minimum wage job. I felt beautiful in the dress and thought it fit me very well but I didn't feel right wearing something so expensive.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhuVw6qheg
"Are you girls ready?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy1Fuk3JJF
Sarah came out of the bathroom after curling her hair and putting a mask on. Her dress was white and long with a high slit. Her mask was silver with diamonds around it and a white feather on the top.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0tr8n9eJn
"We all look hot as fuck." Jordan said putting her brush down after the last touches of makeup.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf5GLKoVOI
"Okay guys is everyone ready?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQFkGgptK9
We all take a few pictures in the bathroom mirror with our masks on before heading out the door and heading to the party.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQXuxgtjoR
Macy posted the address of her house on almost all of her social media platforms. Along with everyone else in Preston Academy. She didn't live far from the school. It was a 10 minute drive without the highway because she lived in Richmond hills - the neighborhood where all the rich kids were.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnN5DReMG5
We traveled to her house while listening to upbeat dance music to prepare ourselves.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj02zl1hv1o
Once we got to the front I was in utter shock. I've never been to a house so big. The type of house that you'd see on a magazine or on TV. There were cars lined in her driveway and some on the side of the road nearer to her house. We could hear the music as we pulled up and there were a handful of people outside smoking.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmS5MbuEsa
We ended up parking super far from her house because of the amount of cars there were lined up on the road so we had to walk a distance. I was struggling to walk in Jordan's heels because they were so tall.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjM7PAfs7M
At the door there was a football player with his black jersey on and a plain grey mask. He didn't bother dressing up for the party and looked like he just got out of practice.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcii13FH1B
"Password."He said stopping us from going in. What a dick. This is a open invite party why is he acting like we needed a password to be let in to a house party.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehjrAWowMp
"Let us in asshole." I replied
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FUFJVo6QB
He took his mask off and revealed his face looking irritated. He had dark brown eyes and black hair just like Ian and this was the first time I've seen him up close. Kai. Ians brother. They looked eerily similar but he had brown eyes and his hair had more curls.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6RJ0TETtG
Of course he's the one letting people in.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSan0gHIakl
"I can't let people in that don't know the password "
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo73G1UaSVJ
"What are you 10? Let us in." He turned his head over to me and his eyes lingered on mine for longer than I expected. I was confused at the sudden change of attitude.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdn6Tt11kl
He rolled his eyes and gave us a heavy sigh before opening the door to reveal a heavily packed house. We all walked in, not before glaring at him first.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6TRuCr9L9
"He was such an asshole!" Jordan said after the door was fully closed and he was out of sight.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2wEH9MEuv
"He's so hot though." Sarah shrugged.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQd5YbQ4J
"Ew Sarah. He was a dick to us."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIThzGWh5xy
"That doesn't change the fact that he's still hot."
She shrugged.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLi0kubHhv
"Okay but was it just me or was he totally eyeing Vee."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6XN2r0gg0
"It's just you." Sarah responded quickly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nCOwSwBLN
"Okay guys where are we going first." I interrupted their conversation.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLyFafCfLL
"You are going to go find Ian. We are going to get drunk."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimpqLxzGUv
"Ugh. That's not fair!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wuIDFEpxm
"Text us when you've found Ian."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS6vLaGYVA
Jordan grabs Sarah's arm and pushes through the crowd of people around us.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqdKuj5oL
I was now standing there alone feeling stupid because I had no clue where to go or what to do.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGV7lbJCDT
Find Ian. Okay.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QTSRVrrf
I push forward through the people around me all wearing different types of masks.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9hbEjdHAV
How am I supposed to find Ian if everyone is wearing a mask?
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3pxCmIm6b
I continue walking watching as people dance on each other sensually and others on their phones. Macy's house was very classy and elegant. It was all white inside and I don't know how she wasn't afraid that with all these people here something might get broken or dirty.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV7oCmbccG
I make my way to the beautiful white and black kitchen in the middle of the house. There were less people in here so I decided to stand in there for a moment and take in everything around me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7blNOswYA4
There were bottles of every type of liquor you could think of on the island of the kitchen. People were taking shots back to back and some were just drinking straight out the bottle. The music was so loud I felt like I was going to lose my hearing.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBjOByj7CC
"What are you doing here?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO110sMopgT
I turn around and see a Macy with flushed cheeks. She was slurring her words which meant she was probably very drunk.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAH6NfMMZn
"I didn't invite you. You need to leave."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoITc483O8
I stood there dumbfounded not really sure what to say next.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc77OqEXWZe
"Ian invited me."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m5rhagLFU
"Oh please like he would invite a bitch like you."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO9WFAlPaI
"Excuse me?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRJTsKD4j8
My jaw dropped. I didn't know what to say. I was too stunned to rebuttal her comment. I know she was drunk but that was no excuse. She was very aware of what she was saying at the moment. We stood there staring each other down burning through each others eyes. We stayed like this for a few seconds until someone came and interjected our staring competition.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBdVUUX0lh
"Macy! Ian's here!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKuyZv82bq
She broke our eye contact to look at her friend approach her. They both looked me up and down before walking away to go find him. I let out a deep breath and gave a heavy sigh of relief.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AwS39d7cm
Finally she's gone.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWoDsaZlAL
I give up looking for Ian. By the time I find him she'll be all over him.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQXWpocDD
Mission failed.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFABKr0Xef
I grab a bottle of Ciroc from the counter and head the opposite direction of where Macy was going. I came across a swirly staircase and looked up to see where it lead to.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ytOPvXX0
I began walking up the stairs mindlessly touching the rails that had fancy engravings on it.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DpAavc4P1
I reach the second floor and there were a handful of people standing in the hall. Mostly people making out and groping each other.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJcqGIZMF8
I continue walking down the hall until I reach an open door that led outside to the side of the house. The glass doors ahead of me revealed a beautiful outside balcony that over looked her property. The floors outside were white along with the rest of the decor. I walked outside to the edge of the balcony placing my hands onto the marble like railing and sat the bottle down after sipping on it. I looked out at the landscape and admired how well kept the yard was. I could still hear the music faintly from the inside of the house and there were people outside yelling and being obnoxious trashing her yard with empty beer cans.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5WzKSP70N
I stood there for a few minutes basking in the calm of the quietnesses.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRuTpaKLpK
"Are you not enjoying the party?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaJt7FqnZz
A familiar voice rang in my ear from behind and I turned to match the voice with a face.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU1XFfkPPI
There he stood in front of me with a black mask that covered most of his face leaving just his lips out. He had all black on. A black turtleneck tucked into black dress pants with a black belt but I recognised his green eyes.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8cwObSg7s
"Ian?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EYdeIy2Ik
He took off his mask and his hair fell on his face and he brushed it out of the way with his hand. His eyes burned through mine with intense eye contact. I kept my eyes on his eyes for a second taking in his face before looking away.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkZTge3t0z
"I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nXqaqQ4TT
"You're all the way out here alone."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gfhkoVNf3
"I was just exploring the house and ended up out here."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroYm8Il1uq
"Yeah Macy's house is pretty nice." He says looking around.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLidrGk5MLW
"Why are you out here? Are you not enjoying the party?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6mA8D6TA0
"I am I'm just.."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzDQTvtdPL
He pauses.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoG0I6E85M
"Hiding from Macy."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxe3xQVf3g
I chuckled at the fact that he's hiding from her in her own house. He smiled in response to my laughter and we ended up laughing together.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbdqs7NUi
"Why are you hiding from Macy?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNQXvBzmr
"She's looking for me. I don't know what she wants but I'm not sure I want to find out."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnJBRuK4RD
After our laughter we stood there for a moment in silence.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL4EL4cJtv
Okay, this is my chance to ask him about that night at the club.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMuVvNqmmr
"Ian?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflT6X15cHQ
"Yeah?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlG0ijZevG
"You were at the club last weekend right? Club 9?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMD8Gv9yUm
His expression was unreadable.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy42hQ77Hn
"Yeah." He looked down.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYbUS3h02
"So it was you that took me home."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUHleZFGcV
He stayed silent. He didn't answer but I took his silence for an answer.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU4ASTKswq
"Why didn't you say anything about it after that night?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0pBhlvih9
"I'm sorry." He avoided eye contact with me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEtrqcdmJ6
We were quiet for another minute before I spoke again.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2GsiBpxqQ
"So you've seen where I live then... Did you tell anyone?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtDtsjg2xQ
"Where you live? Why would I do that?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNofL8ZUa
"Don't act like you didn't see my shack of a house. Just please promise not to say anything. Please."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tX2CD4xl0
"I promise."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLvXHM34tG
I looked down feeling sort of guilty for being mad at him for taking me home. He was honestly just trying to help me and I felt like I was a bitch about it. I broke my eye contact with him after he finished his sentence. My eyes wandered down to his hands that sat still by his body.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywVmGwqURh
He took a step closer to me and my back was against the railing of the balcony. We were inches away from each other and my eyes shot up towards his and he never broke his eye contact with me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mBm2p17sd
"Thank you for taking me home that night I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't to be honest."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ya0i7EL3V
"You don't have to say thank you."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ayTm45Z3e
My body felt warm from his kind words and my face was heating up. He was so close to me. I was getting nervous because I didn't know what to say or do next. I felt like I was standing awkwardly or doing something wrong and I was overthinking that entire moment.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xv1QmmDlC
I stood nervously hoping he remembered our conversation so I had some sort of confirmation that I didn't make it all up in my head and that it was really him that was there.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2LJhtXncQ
He placed his mask on the rail behind me and reached his hands behind my head. Our eyes didn't leave each others and he untied the ribbon that held my mask up on my face. He's slowly removed it with both hands and put down next to his.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzehg0ryHZN
My face was now mask less and exposed in front of him.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARVO0wMzJr
He gave me soft smile and my eyes shifted towards his mouth. I felt my insides evaporate from the sight of his pretty smile. It was contagious.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEKRwsehW3
"You look incredible by the way."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1htuLX3feA
"Thank you. So do you." I released a soft smile in response to his compliment.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL74NOHu3K
He raised his hand to touch my face and brush something off of my face. His fingers were warm and soft on my face and sent butterflies flying inside my body. Even though it was just him touching my face, I felt excitement build up in my stomach.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPRdMBNoIH
He brought his fingers down near my lips, barely touching them, letting them linger there. We both stood inches apart from each other, our faces so close if I moved any closer we'd be touching.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW26sWkMR3N
His hand rested on my face like it was his home. It felt right in the moment and it brought me comfort. Then he did the most unexpected thing I could ever imagine.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1vFbGzu42
He kissed me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1W91DWiPA
He pulled me in and rested his lips on mine gently. His hand rested on my cheek holding it lightly. His lips connected with mine and electric shock flowed through my body. His lips were soft and released a warm feeling that spiked through me. I didn't know how to kiss or if I was doing it right. My mind was completely blank in that moment and the only thing that mattered in that second was his lips on mine.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ba2IMYi4
He took the lead because It was probably clear that I didn't know what to do or how to kiss properly. He sucked on my bottom lip and bit it gently before tightening his grip on me.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGpk5hs5TC
My heart was beating fast but the heart beat between my legs was beating faster. I'd never felt this way before and my body was reacting to his touch like fire, melting every moment his lips stayed on mine.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVNjEVPVUg
He pulled away slowly from me and I was left with no idea what was next.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eOPHpEcjf
Ian Peters was my first kiss.
