I’m discovering who I am in this world. Venturing out on my own, away from my parents, and finding out what life is really all about. College isn’t as easy as I thought it would be, especially with my best friend Evan becoming someone I hardly recognize.

~Excerpt~

Kristy and I found ourselves a corner. I sipped a little more of my beer, finally getting the bottle a little more than halfway gone. Nursing the drink probably wasn’t the best idea, but as long as I kept this in my hand, I didn’t feel like such a loser. Maybe my friends were right. It was time to quit taking the easy route. I needed to have fun.

 “Who is that hot guy? I think he’s checking you out.” Kristy poked my side.

I followed her gaze. Gabe.

 “Go talk to him.” She pushed me.

 “I, uh, I already did.”

 Her eyes lit up. “Seriously? Well, who is he?”

 I shrugged. “I met him before work at a coffee shop. He stared at me the whole time. Then tonight, when he got here, he watched me like he is now.” I should feel self conscious, but I didn’t. “As I waited for you, he came and talked to me, but Evan chased him away. To be honest, he’s freaking me out a little.” Kind of, but he intrigued me so much more.

 “He can’t keep his eyes off of you.”

 She was right. Even as he spoke to the guy with him, his eyes never left me. My heart raced. I honestly didn’t know what to think. It wasn’t like I’d never dated before. I’d had a few boyfriends in high school, but nothing serious.

 “Go talk to him,” Kristy pressed.

 “Who?” Evan showed up at just the right time. Go figure.

 “No one,” I said quickly.

 “She’s being silly. That guy.” Kristy pointed. Great, now he knew we were talking about him.

 “She needs to stay away from him.” Evan put his arm around me again, only now he put a little more weight against me. If I didn’t think he’d fall, I’d have moved.

 Kristy stared at Evan’s arm a moment then asked, “Why? He’s hot.”

“I don’t know. But my roommate says he’s trouble.”

 Of course he was. He parked his bike wherever he wanted. “I need to use the restroom. Hold my drink.” I handed it to Kristy.

 I wandered around the house. It was two stories, surely they had a restroom down here, but I didn’t find one. I headed up the creaky stairs. Sounds of groaning welcomed me at the top, making me giggle. Some people were having a lot of fun.

 After using the restroom, I checked my appearance in the mirror. I turned by head back and forth. Maybe I did need to let my hair down. Tugging the elastic out, I let my long locks fall over my shoulder. I fluffed it with my fingers. The crease wasn’t so bad, and besides, more than half the people here were drunk. They weren’t going to care how my hair appeared.

 I left the bathroom and stopped in my tracks. Leaning against the opposite wall was Gabe.

 “Uh, hey again.” I grinned awkwardly.

 “Having a good time?”

 “I guess.”

 A girl walked up wobbly, holding the wall the whole way. She pushed me out of the way, slamming the bathroom door. Now I stood close to him. Near enough I could touch him if I wanted.

 “You sure that guy isn’t your boyfriend?”

 I nodded. “Positive.”

 “He comes across like he is.” His blue eyes bore in to mine.

 “Well, he isn’t. Why would I lie?”

 He shrugged. “Walk with me.”

 I glanced around. We were upstairs, and there wasn’t anywhere to go. I knew once I went down stairs and Evan saw, he’d stop us. “It’s not a good idea.”

 “Why?”

 I leaned closer to him, inhaling his intoxicating scent and said, “From what I hear, I should stay away from you.”

 He chuckled. “Is that so? And what do you think?”

 I think I should see where he wants to take me, but I didn’t say that. “I don’t know you.”

 “Then get to know me. Come on. One little walk. What could go wrong?”

 The bathroom door opened and the drunk girl reemerged. “Awesome party!”

 I laughed and watched as she concentrated on walking. Poor girl. I hoped she made it down the stairs.

“So?” He raised an eyebrow.

 It was tempting. Take a walk with him, talk, get to know him, and find out why everyone thought he was trouble. “I think I’m going to pass.”

 The cutest smirk I’d ever seen appeared on his face. “Paisley, you’re really going to make me work, aren’t you?”

 The sound of my name on his lips was like music. “How did you know my name?” That was stupid, he could’ve asked someone.

 “From the coffee shop when you got a drink.”

 “Oh, yeah.”

 He reached out and brushed a lock of hair from my face. My breath caught when his fingers lightly touched my skin, and I swear every nerve was on end.

 “I like a good challenge.” He walked away, leaving me standing there, speechless.
