Through the glare of the flashing lights put up around the house, she finds her way to the host, Daniel. Daniel knows everyone, and is arguably the tallest one there, looming over her at 6’2. Knowing him to be the most popular one around, she knows he must have seen Nate, the boy she was so desperate to find. She yells a little over the music blaring in her ears, trying to catch his attention.
“Daniel! hey, over here!” he turns around, and looks down to meet her gaze. “Hey! Kassie, right? how are u liking the party?” The songs continue in the background as she responds. “It’s so awesome here, thank you so much for asking me to come! I was wondering, have you seen Nate?” “Your boyfriend? I saw him head to the drink about 5 minutes ago, he might still be there.”
She turns her head and looks, trying once again to see over the crowd. Nodding to Daniel, she nudges her way through the crowd and slowly finds her way to the most populated area in the house, chock full of empty beer bottles and shot glasses. Slowly, Kassie finds herself at the corner of the kitchen table, where she scanned the faces and saw her target.
