He flashes me that devilsh smile and once again I am captivated. Ugh, I hate how he does that! Makes me want to agree to anything. (You can see the downfall to this can't you?) smile. "Wow, you got my name on one...except its Mr. Tall, dark, handsome and mysterious" He retorts with a smirk. It's my turn to roll my eyes on that one. Come on! Could this guy be more into himself. Geez. Although his self confidence is quite interesting.

Not at all like those boys in New York who always felt like they had something to prove, but not Mr. No name here. He honestly doesn't give a shit, and that ladies and gentlemen is sexy as hell. I allow myself to laugh at that one. This dude has got his head s far up in the clouds it's scary. "Alright Spaceboy, what ever you say."Pushing back a stray hair behind my ear I smile at the absurd conversation I am having with an absolute stranger.

After making our way through the throng of people,we find a relatively empty space in the living room from where we can see the kitchen counter and a dozen or so of Kyle's jock friends having a beer guzzling match.

"So, you wanna go get a drink or something?" Isabel asks nodding in the direction of the kitchen

"Yeah okay...I'll get us something.Be back before you know it." I say to her grinning

The only thing that is running through my mind right now as I walk towards the drinks counter is how different and amazing Isabel looks tonight.
'who would have thought that Izzy could look so damn sexy?'

I really shouldn't be having these thoughts...Max will kill me not to mention Michael,most of all Isabel...we are lab partners,friends and this is not a date.We are only friends attending a party together.

Reaching the counter I fill two glasses of punch for both of us and make my way back to her "Here you go."
Handing her the glass I lean back against the wall,wondering what to say.This is strange,there have never been awkward moments between us before,I have to break this silence.

Quick Whitman,say something,work the Whitman charm "You're looking nice tonight Isabel." I say truthfully with an appreciative gaze starting from her legs up,not that I am leching,I do it tastefully.I don't want to make her run.

'What the hell is wrong with me?'

ooc: great post karen! it should be fun playing opposite you in this one.

Isabel

"Yeah okay...I'll get us something.Be back before you know it." Alex says with a grin, wandering off to do so. I sit there, watching the jocks guzzle beer, a look of disgust on my face, but my mind wanders, and I can't help but think that Alex looks really good tonight. I mean really good. Of course, he always looks good, but tonight, hanging out with him, it just all feels different. I'm glad we came together....as friends of course.

When Alex comes back, he hands me a glass of punch and says a quick, "Here you go." before falling silent and leaning up against the wall. It's a little awkward, and I'm about to break the silence, but Alex gets to it first.

"You're looking nice tonight Isabel." He blurts out, saying it in a way that makes me think he means it. As he runs his eyes over my body, I blush. No one's ever exactly complimented me before on my looks, except maybe Max or Michael when I'm in a bad mood or something, but that isn't the same.

"Thanks...you look good too," I reply honestly, and I can't help but remember what I was thinking before. I smile at him, and wonder if I'm not the only that feels there's something different about being here with him tonight. Taking a sip of my punch, I can't help but think it tastes odd. What a perfect compliment to this already odd night. It's probably spiked, considering who's having this party. Note to self: Don't drink too much punch.

I lay there getting ready for my soul to leave my body, getting ready for me to move on the next life. I guess this is what is meant to be. For me to died at a young age and never experiences things any normal human being would. For example, getting married, having children, growing, things like that. But I believe if God wanted this, this way then all I have to do is trust in God, wherever he may take me.

Suddenly I felt someone hand on my stomach. It felt some warn and so gentle that I wasn’t sure if I move on yet. I wasn’t sure if I was still alive. I wasn’t sure at all. But that moment I saw things, I saw things that I never knew I could feel and see. I saw Max Evans and his life. Max Evans had always felt things for me that I wasn’t aware of and in his eyes I was beautiful.

Then it was over, as I felt the hand vanished from my body. I heard running food steps as doctors begin to shake me to wake up, “Miss Parker, Can you hear me?" I open my eyes and look at the people in front of me.

“Where am I? What happened?” I ask looking around me. But in the dark corner I saw Max. Max Evans. So it couldn’t be a dream, could it?

“You’re at the hospital. You were in a car accident. You are going to be fine. Your parents are on there way.” The doctor said checking my chart and leaving the room with the nurses.

I looked at Max, “Max….” I said out loud and suddenly I had this burning feeling in my stomach. I lift my shirt and saw a shiver hand print. I look back at Max, “What is going on? What’s happening to me?” I said sounding a little freak out.

OOC-thanks Nadine and thanks Fehr,I look forward to playing opposite you too


Alex

"Thanks,you look good to. she says sincerely and I can't help but feel really pleased about myself

Another moment of awkward silence...this is getting to be a bit too much.Isabel and I never have this problem in class,we're always joking around.Well okay,to be honest I'm the one who jokes around while she is the one who gets all our work done for us on time.

I can't help but laugh right now.At least my laughter breaks the silence.When I notice her looking at me with a surprised expression on her face I hasten to explain.
"I'm laughing because this is weird Isabel...you and I have never had to deal with moments of uncomfortable silence before.It's a pretty strange feeling." I say waving my hand back and forth between the two of us

I get a brainwave all of a sudden,grabbing her hand I head towards the back verandah.Not too many people there so we might not feel so uncomfortable around each other.Stepping out on to the verandah I turn to her "I thought this place is a little quieter so...we...I just thought we might be a little more comfortable out here than in there,away from the main party area."

Isabel

We stand there in silence again, and I honestly can't think of anything to say. Then Alex laughs, and I look at him, confused.

"I'm laughing because this is weird Isabel...you and I have never had to deal with moments of uncomfortable silence before.It's a pretty strange feeling." He says, gesturing back and forth.

I nod and give him another smile, but he says something else before I can answer, pulling me out onto the veranda. "I thought this place is a little quieter so...we...I just thought we might be a little more comfortable out here than in there,away from the main party area."

Letting out a sigh of relief, I grin. "This is much better. It was getting a little too crowded in there," I tell him as I look up at the stars. Tonight they are all out, and I just stare up at them for a minute before turning back to Alex.

"Yeah, it's much more comfortable out here."

[KarenEvans]

OOC-I just want to know whether Michael and Max have started arguing yet?Then accordingly I will make my next post.

[KarenEvans]

OOC-okay so I am just jumping in here 'coz I don't really know what to say.Fehr if you want me to edit I wil.


Alex

"Yeah, it's much more comfortable out here." Isabel says as she turns her eyes away from the night sky and focuses them on me

I grin at her happily...I am feeling a little foolish actually right now.I have no idea what to do next.Sheeeshhh!!!this is like first date jitters all over again.Come on...this is Isabel.Isabel your book-worm lab-partner.Your best friend's sister.

Surely there is something we can talk about.We always have tonnes to chat about..."How come you don't dress like this on a more regular basis?" I ask waving my hand causally over her dress "I mean...I don't mean that you should dress like you're going for a party when you come to school..." I pause for a moment to gather my thoughts in a coherent manner "what I am trying to say is...that you look great in this dress."

She probably thinks that just the one drink has effected my senses "You should wear dresses more often Isabel,they make you look very...girly and feminine.That's not something I'm used to seeing from you." I look a way quickly after having said that,feeling very embarrassed all of a sudden

There...*phew*...I hope she doens't get offended and more importantly I hope she doesn't think I am hitting on her.Oh no!!!please let her not think I am doing that.I don't want her thinking that I am like the rest of the jocks inside,whom I know she hates.
