Taking in a deep breath, I resumed
trying to find a way out. My eyes
examine the crammed room as I looked
over the sea of people. I could feel my
heart beat faster as I tried to assure
myself that nothing would go wrong. As I scanned the room, I could hear the
sound of lips smacking causing me to
gag. The smell of alcohol made me feel
giddy as I tried covering my nose. If I
had previously known that my brother
would throw a party, I wouldn't have come home. He knew I couldn't stand
this. It feels like everything he does is
just to get on my last nerve and watch
me break down. I whimpered in fear as
I pushed people away making my way
up the stairs. The music echoing through the house made a painful headache
form in my head. Screaming, laughing
and talking filled my ear as I finally
reached the door. I quickly got inside my
room shutting the door behind me
wasting no time to lock it. I leaned against the door finally relaxing a bit but
not completely; I sighed I relief. I
couldn't stand all the noise, all the
people staring at the helpless girl in the
corner. I hated having eyes on me. I
stared around the four light purple walls that surrounded me finally feeling a bit
of serenity and security. The thin walls
of my room weren't able to fully shut out
the voices of the outside world as I could
still hear the laughter and music. It's
strange, music always brought happiness or a rush and so did laughter
yet I felt dejection. What I feared was
the crowds; it's another thing about me
which I loathe.
I walked over to my bed sitting between
my pillows and surrounding myself with the warm duvet to protect me. I pushed
my legs up against my chest as I
lowered my head resting it on my knee.
I hugged my body closer as I stayed
silent. Minutes passed with me in the
same position, but I like it. Soon I heard a strange sound of shuffling; it wasn't
coming from the party downstairs for
sure. It sounded like someone was
moving yet it felt so close as if it was in
my room. Maybe it's the wind or a bush,
but it didn't sound like that. It sounded like a person, moving, outside the party.
I was only scaring myself more, it's
probably nothing. But what if it was
something? I took a few deep breaths
assuring myself that it's just a person
passing by, but it didn't stop. And suddenly, it stopped all together
shocking me. I gulped as it was silent for
a second, then I heard a thud. I flinched
as my body jumped upward a bit, a
small squeal escaping my lips. I don't
know what came over me that moment, but I got up and went over to the
window and I saw nothing. Only a few
people were walking out the party or
taking it outside.
I had the urge to find out what was
happening, after all I've never been to an actual party, and if one came to me
then I got to at least see it. I walked
downstairs slowly clutching onto the
wall. I gazed at all the unfamiliar faces
that all went to m school, only
recognizing the popular ones. I bet no one notices me and it's not like people
Did notice me and I'm denying it, they
really didn't. To people, I'm the invisible
kid who stands alone in the corner until
the next class starts, but I couldn't help
that I had no one to talk to. As I gazed around, my eyes met a pair
of golden brown eyes causing me to
freeze. His eyes were beautiful but his
expression was hard. A tall guy with
dark blonde hair in a quiff and a strong
jaw stared straight at me for a split second before looking away. He looked
scary; I wasn't sure what it is that made
him scary, maybe the cold look on his
face. He was really tall and muscular,
too big for my liking. His gaze stopped
on me and his expression remained cold. I think I saw what was some kind
of a smirk, but it quickly disappeared
and so did he. It passed by so fast;
suddenly he was away from my gaze
and I lost him between the crowds. Even
though he scared me at first, I followed where he might have gone looking for
him, I was curious. I knew for a fact that
if I ever saw that face, I'd remember it.
He was one of those people you could
never forget. But as I turned, he was
gone. "He was feared but, for once, she wasn't afraid."
