Just as I thought things between me and Justin are getting more intense, everything went back to the way it once was. He acted as we were just friends and I decided to go with it. I didn't have much choice, did I?
 Weeks later, my best friend, Mia, was staying over at my place Friday and Saturday. On Friday, after school, we went to the store and bought an enormous amount of candy which we were planning to eat the same evening. I had a lot of fun that evening, we watched comedies and laughed a lot, of course. We had a blast! Little did I know Saturday night was going to turn into a nightmare for me.
 Mia and I were planning to go clubbing on Saturday night with the gang. We practically spent the whole Saturday afternoon getting ready. It took me 2 hours to pick out an outfit and another 2 hours to shower, get dressed, do my hair and put some makeup on. Around 11PM we were all set and went to this dance club downtown.
 When we arrived, our friends were already there. That, though, was nothing new. Mia and I were always taking forever to get ready and go somewhere, and that's why we always arrived late at events. Anyways, that's not the point of the story. As we walked in, I immediately spotted "the gang".
 - Heeeey, sorry for being late again - I said smiling and showing my puppy dog eyes.
 - No worries, we're used to it - Justin's best friend, Matt, laughed.
 - Looks like we aren't the last to arrive, though. Where's Justin? - Mia asked and she was right. I haven't noticed but Justin wasn't there.
 - Wrong, he went to get drinks - Matt said and then I heard another guy's voice yelling.
 - Here come the cocktails, fellas! - Justin, that was Justin's voice. I immediately turned around to see him but then...BOOM! He dropped the glasses to the ground and his mouth dropped open.
 - Justiiiin! What's wrong? - I totally freaked out! - Are you hurt? Did you manage to cut yourself? Are you okay?
 And as I was panicking my head off, the only thing Justin said was "WOW".
 - Man, are you okay? - Matt stood up and came.
 - Yeah, yeah, sorry. I'll go get new cocktails. - Justin finally spoke!
 - Nah, man, I'll go - Matt said and left.
 "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? Seriously!" my mind was racing. I wanted to know what was that about. Was he okay? What was wrong? Why did he do that? I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable though so I just said "I'll go help Matt" and went away. When I found him, he was just ordering the drinks.
 - Hey Matt. Need help? - I asked.
 - Yeah, thanks babygirl. - he has always called me babygirl but I didn't mind because we were pretty close, like a brother and a sister.
 - So, any idea what's wrong with Justin?
 - The problem is...there's no easy way to say this, but the problem is you. - he didn't seem sad or upset saying it, just the opposite - his eyes were glowing with happiness.
 - Me? What? And how can you be so happy if the problem is me? What have I done? - I was officially freaking out way more than when Justin dropped the drinks.
 - I mean, look at you girl. You look stunning tonight!
 - Matt! You freaked the crap out of me but thanks, that's really sweet. - I punched his arm slightly while saying that.
 Then the drinks came and we went back to our table.
 - What took you so long? - Justin asked.
 - WHOA there! Jealous much? - I could totally tell Mia was trying to piss him off.
 - You wish! - and score, Justin was, in fact, getting pissed off.
 I ignored it and we all sat down, talked, drank and had fun. Not long after a slow song came along and with the song some guy I didn't know. He came to our table and looked me right in the eyes.
 - Can I have this dance? - he asked me and held his hand.
 He was pretty good looking and cute, and I loved slow dancing. I had nothing to lose so I stood up and went on the dance floor with him.
 - Can I know your name beautiful? - ha asked, while pacing back and forth.
- Can I know yours, stranger? - I chuckled.
- You're cute when you chuckle. I'm Taylor, your turn now.
- Thanks and I'm Ina.
- Strange, I haven't heard of that name before. - he said looking all sinking in deep thoughts.
- Are you supposed to? - frankly, I was confused.
- Well, I've read a lot of ancient literature and there's no Goddess with the name Ina, but I guess you're some modern Goddess of 21st century sent on Earth to save us with love and beautifulness. Did I get it right? - he smiled the most adorable smile.
- Smooth move there, Sherlock! And as much as I'd like it, nope. I was born by my mother and raised by her, no ancient relatives and no super powers. Sorry to disappoint you.
- You can't.... - but I didn't get to hear what Taylor had to say because Justin interrupted him.
- Can I? - Justin said.
- Sure man. - Taylor said and went away.
Awkward. Really awkward. I've never seen Justin slow dance and I could have sworn Justin once said he hated slow dancing. Why would he want to dance with me to a slow song if he hated slow dancing? That was really confusing.
- What are you thinking about? - he asked.
- Oh, nothing. - I smiled.
- So, what were you two talking about before I came? - again I could have sworn there was something Justin was hiding, like he was jealous or something.
- Ancient literature. - I laughed a little to myself thinking about the compliments Taylor made.
- What? - Justin, of course, was confused.
- He complimented me saying he has read about a lot of Goddess but has never come across me, no big deal. - I smiled
 The rest of the dance we were silent and just...danced. To be honest, Justin a good slow dancer and I enjoyed dancing with him. It felt amazing having his arms around my waist. A minute later though, my moment was over because the song was over.
Everything was going great, we were having a lot of fun and there were no more awkward moments. About two hours later, though, Justin started drinking a lot. Soon enough he was drunk and started hitting on other girls. Seeing him do that really hurt me and I was on the edge of crying when Taylor came.
- Hey, what's up? - he asked.
- Nothing much, just enjoying myself - what a liar I was! I wasn't enjoying myself sitting there, watching Justin hit on every girl in the club.
- I hope I'm not pushing things too hard but can I have your phone number? I thought we can hang out sometime if you want, of course.
- Sure, that'd be awesome - I smiled.
I gave him my phone and he gave me his. Right when I saved his and looked up, I saw Justin making out with some random chick. That I couldn't stand and broke out crying.
- Hey hey hey, what did I do? - Taylor asked worried.
- No, it's nothing. I'm sorry, but I want to go home. I'll call you sometime. Deal?
- Sure, bye - he hugged me and went away.
I looked for Mia because she has been dancing for the last hour. Finally I found her and man, she freaked when she saw me!
- Ina, why are you crying? What happened, girl?
- I'd rather not talk about it, let's just go home. - I really wanted to go to sleep and forget what I saw.
- Okay, let me just get my things.
 Mia and I left the club and went straight home. None of us talked no the way back. We got to the apartment, cleaned our makeup, changed into PJs and the BIG TALK started!
- So, what is wrong? - Mia asked.
- I don't want to talk about it, Mia.
- INA! Tell me! - she insisted and I knew there was no point in refusing to tell her because she was going to get it out of me eventually.
- Okay, okay. I saw Justin making out with this chick. I'm not sure he even knew her.
- What? Why didn't you tell me at the club? I was going to roundhouse kick that jerk!
- Doesn't matter. He can do whatever he wants. It's not like we're dating or anything. - that was completely true, but still I felt really hurt.
- Practically you aren't dating, but you two can't keep doing that to yourselves. I mean, come on! You're so stupid. You obviously like each other, do something about it! - Mia was getting too excited about all of this.
- Whatever, let's just go to sleep. I'm tired and really looking forward to forgetting the whole "make out view".
- Okay, night.
- Night. - I said and immediately fell asleep.
