xxxxHolly had giggled in the girly way she had never expected herself to giggle, had reached for Leo's hand and was about to accept his offer. She remembered feeling a swell of excitement, remembering thinking
wow, someone's actually interested in me! Once Artemis had left with his charming date, Leo had seemed to let his confidence slip, and Holly had thought he was even cuter when he wasn't trying as hard to impress. However, just as suddenly as these developments had happened, Leo had retracted his arm and excused himself. The light in his vivid eyes had gone out. She watched him approach Artemis, Sienna, and a beautiful girl she didn't recognize, her brow knit in confusion. He and the beautiful girl linked arms and went onto the dance floor.
xxxxHolly let out a little sigh. It's not like she was
devastated. After all, she and Leo had hardly done anymore then introduce themselves. She looked down at herself, remembering that she was wearing a collared shirt, an oversized cardigan, leggings, and sneakers, not an expensive dress. Still, she had been hoping that something would happen. Holly sighed again, wondering where Clay was. Man, wasn't she terrible, leaving her only friend behind for new people and then crawling back when those people had left her? Holly tried to snap herself out of it before she got too down on herself. She had noticed a girl in a purple dress with short black hair that had been walking around for a while, as if unsure of what to do with herself. The girl had talked to Artemis and Sienna, she recalled, but was now eating cake in the chair that Sienna had vacated.
xxxx"
Hello," she called tentatively. She picked up another beer from the table (she was desperate need of more alcohol in her system, and she wasn't concerned about the taste anymore) and sat down on the floor next to the girl after making sure the floor wasn't sticky. "
This must sound kind of weird, but do you know what's going on with them?" She motioned at where Leo, Artemis, and the beautiful girl were standing. Where was Sienna?
xxxxAwww, Clay couldn't help thinking as he watched Karena. She was like an innocent little bunny. Maybe it was the way she blushed, or how easily he could read what she was thinking. Maybe it was cause the top of her head only reached his shoulder. He even laughed when she complimented his name, hiding part of his grin behind his hand. She probably didn't want to talk about her stutter, and he wasn't going to push it. "
Thank you," he said, still smiling. "
So did you have any plans for tonight, or are you content just sitting here?" He was genuinely curious. None of Karena's friends had showed up since they started talking, and she didn't seem like the type of girl who enjoyed partying hard or anything like that.
