HOPE
I'd say the party is finally in full swing. My dance partner Eli and I got the spotlight tonight, and if you'd ask me how that fucking made me feel... well, happy and satisfied. I see the tears in Josie's eyes, and somehow, I feel a tiny bit bad for her. I mean, the birthday girl couldn't bag a dance partner?
Kaleb is free, Finn is free, Asher is free as well as Jeremy and even Klaus, but none asked her for a dance. They were all drooling at me, obviously wishing they were Eli.
When the dance finally ends with us as the last couple on the dance floor, we are massively applauded before we are ushered to the couple-of-the-night chairs.
Josie's father takes the mic and steps up to the stage, clearing his throat and finally letting go of the scornful glare he's had on me for a while.
