I didn't see Ian in class on Wednesday.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAP1KwzfePim
Macy was there though. Unfortunately.
112Please respect copyright.PENANApVLwLsNToD
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAGPfjvQ4lXR
I spent most of class working on the research part of the project, looking for which modern art artist I liked most.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzWhrztewRl
The remainder of the week I spent working on AP Calc and finishing up an english essay about the effects of violent tv shows.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAqNw8wYJgWN
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAgee5D7H0Mb
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAsalDIoYZyi
Hopefully this time it'll be a better experience than that one.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAIAdHEZFgQi
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAThwXYGfjqz
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAGOc0qUBjh2
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAYyr3YKwaVy
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAdLO5qIV57x
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAjYBzsgHafC
My parents never check my room so I think I'll be okay.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA768ebWDiuG
Once I arrived to her dorm she let me in and Sarah was already there.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAxbNU3U2cO6
"What took you so long we were waiting to start getting ready with you."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAIfBxqpyapW
"Ugh- sorry. I took a long nap."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAqJDwa2RgJ0
"Let's just start getting ready. I'm so excited to look sexy and mysterious." We all laughed at Sarah posing seductively.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ9eNHJU1z
"Okay Vee I have the perfect outfit for you."
112Please respect copyright.PENANADbZHz17Q6h
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
112Please respect copyright.PENANA4cUoEFhnhZ
"That dress is beautiful Jordan. No way I can pull that off."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAkaZa7tUIYf
"Trust me. Once I'm done with you, you're going to look like a supermodel."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAPt1hmUWBWU
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA2WqPZB9zir
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAVEjjmt7LDa
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAvvRP93BREE
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rk7ZDtlu0
I felt like a princess. Well, a slutty princess.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAwyuqpZJzdr
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANANg8XpJzqsL
"Are you girls ready?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAwEXJNcJx4k
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAXdm6mGtv8j
"We all look hot as fuck." Jordan said putting her brush down after the last touches of makeup.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAYsWmAppl4w
"Okay guys is everyone ready?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAY1OfqizVUn
We all take a few pictures in the bathroom mirror with our masks on before heading out the door and heading to the party.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAxWzBX6iy24
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAel3wDPLUNr
We traveled to her house while listening to upbeat dance music to prepare ourselves.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAxxsrPdi8m9
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA8rhVEbIgzl
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAu8SVUUH9K7
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANASbwXuZnuYe
"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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAgGQNvhAgyv
"Let us in asshole." I replied
112Please respect copyright.PENANAovvbzCfLv8
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAItZzCP7Scv
Of course he's the one letting people in.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAKyoNoqhxnq
"I can't let people in that don't know the password "
112Please respect copyright.PENANAbls1B6KRUG
"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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA0JlvFDdwPX
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA1dCi1drFXG
"He was such an asshole!" Jordan said after the door was fully closed and he was out of sight.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAT5ONc7inr1
"He's so hot though." Sarah shrugged.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAFaqLcXSWTe
"Ew Sarah. He was a dick to us."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAMO8WoEGy46
"That doesn't change the fact that he's still hot."
She shrugged.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y2EA5aLuv
"Okay but was it just me or was he totally eyeing Vee."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAUxle88JOY9
"It's just you." Sarah responded quickly.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA1QZ7bVkGVr
"Okay guys where are we going first." I interrupted their conversation.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzFr1pn06pG
"You are going to go find Ian. We are going to get drunk."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAq3BmW0LMme
"Ugh. That's not fair!"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAsk7BepbVUG
"Text us when you've found Ian."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAu6nhzJ4Lay
Jordan grabs Sarah's arm and pushes through the crowd of people around us.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAf6j3Q4yCZi
I was now standing there alone feeling stupid because I had no clue where to go or what to do.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAN1GxvYazfi
Find Ian. Okay.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAaMIjomFjaO
I push forward through the people around me all wearing different types of masks.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAeaXjZzOAGC
How am I supposed to find Ian if everyone is wearing a mask?
112Please respect copyright.PENANA7FvDDOlSNT
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANArh4MKNVNPF
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAIfD7f9nZZt
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzhcAZe70z7
"What are you doing here?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAwiniwawKTo
I turn around and see a Macy with flushed cheeks. She was slurring her words which meant she was probably very drunk.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAn0jwUrzSw8
"I didn't invite you. You need to leave."
112Please respect copyright.PENANALejx6S4fjO
I stood there dumbfounded not really sure what to say next.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAdTF2g6RW6l
"Ian invited me."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAIkZTAfH2hW
"Oh please like he would invite a bitch like you."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAWojdp8ZzLm
"Excuse me?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAt6OmOLY2QQ
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAr1aWpvS5Jp
"Macy! Ian's here!"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAn5qRqgL7nc
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA3aHyfIevvu
Finally she's gone.
112Please respect copyright.PENANASyN4pjGq2L
I give up looking for Ian. By the time I find him she'll be all over him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAbmCA6oioGy
Mission failed.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAxJjuIv4p9x
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAPZkDV7yJkX
I began walking up the stairs mindlessly touching the rails that had fancy engravings on it.
112Please respect copyright.PENANApaWj8gMWSw
I reach the second floor and there were a handful of people standing in the hall. Mostly people making out and groping each other.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAAADmjy4C7s
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAgb2pjHNfGG
I stood there for a few minutes basking in the calm of the quietnesses.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA3BKKH8tRHk
"Are you not enjoying the party?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAkf3aiNh2es
A familiar voice rang in my ear from behind and I turned to match the voice with a face.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAdcFsYKK8oG
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAiiahTtvcQe
"Ian?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAHNjqxBGOC1
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAmfRxEMeMHb
"I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANApwLlaH0Mms
"You're all the way out here alone."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAk1zfA5U2RL
"I was just exploring the house and ended up out here."
112Please respect copyright.PENANA0krDSDdtPT
"Yeah Macy's house is pretty nice." He says looking around.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAzxXyUmJc6Q
"Why are you out here? Are you not enjoying the party?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANA2y5PAOyaHE
"I am I'm just.."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAUKCZD69PpN
He pauses.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAOCUURYH0iS
"Hiding from Macy."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAqOPI0Hu4Zd
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAXYkmXHIhXO
"Why are you hiding from Macy?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAPk5nScNZw8
"She's looking for me. I don't know what she wants but I'm not sure I want to find out."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAMnj5uQl70z
After our laughter we stood there for a moment in silence.
112Please respect copyright.PENANArG0L968WUl
Okay, this is my chance to ask him about that night at the club.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAkUY9VHnCvJ
"Ian?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANA5jqd6na9bH
"Yeah?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANA3s7wipTYr2
"You were at the club last weekend right? Club 9?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAxYtsXPs8jq
His expression was unreadable.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAYiTyp6HIwc
"Yeah." He looked down.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA1aAWtvAx97
"So it was you that took me home."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAhM2rnBXMPw
He stayed silent. He didn't answer but I took his silence for an answer.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAnQYdKAHVJM
"Why didn't you say anything about it after that night?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANA36iW9xfQpe
"I'm sorry." He avoided eye contact with me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAeGapuXiF93
We were quiet for another minute before I spoke again.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAlollNdAQOc
"So you've seen where I live then... Did you tell anyone?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAwoQHuL5KG1
"Where you live? Why would I do that?"
112Please respect copyright.PENANAIYzR7Z0MxV
"Don't act like you didn't see my shack of a house. Just please promise not to say anything. Please."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAdA9OeXcquo
"I promise."
112Please respect copyright.PENANA4nf20Y0sma
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAj4wO35yNQ4
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAi6AxLCxDb7
"Thank you for taking me home that night I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't to be honest."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAH3PPkAaVEw
"You don't have to say thank you."
112Please respect copyright.PENANAn5DC2rBXew
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAimWrTCFjyq
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAeLNNsKalPP
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAbWKNmoYXaz
My face was now mask less and exposed in front of him.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAZcxK495dtv
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAcfwZbSvvSi
"You look incredible by the way."
112Please respect copyright.PENANABMXfkEre9G
"Thank you. So do you." I released a soft smile in response to his compliment.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAVeULaBMfCe
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA8AKllfTXbL
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAaz1OeKkl2S
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAO6E2lSSgpo
He kissed me.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA7q9nqnd9cw
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAk8noEvyv2C
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAXIfUO9t0nV
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.
112Please respect copyright.PENANAoiVHBhiKGO
He pulled away slowly from me and I was left with no idea what was next.
112Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cz5w1Rarr
Ian Peters was my first kiss.
