Sneaking out.

Elena said goodnight to her parents after she quickly wash the dishes, her father was suprised that she was going to bed that early so he decided not to disturb her

The moment she got upstairs and slammed her door she quickly moved to her wardrobe, she was really having a hard time trying to determine which dress she was going to where that would make her look beautiful

" What am I going to wear I seriously need to look my best"

After skimming through her wardrobe for the third time she finally settled for a jeans and sexy top she had been reluctant to wear before just because it showed her belly button

She quickly dressed up and looked at herself In the mirror while she fixed her hair, while looking at herself, for the first time in a long time she was really smiling while checking herself out

" I look beautiful!"

Elena removed her glass as she felt taking it off would make her beautiful face more obvious but the moment she did everything around her was a little blury

She quickly put it back on

" just a little more time and I won't be needing this any more "

She said to herself with full confidence, she had been taking some treatments, and her doctor had informed her that very soon she would be able to see properly without her glasses infact

She had started seeing some progress, before the blur was a little heavy and she was not able to identify alot of things without her glasses

But now even when she removed the glass she could still identify thing and still walk without her glasses just that stressing her eyes too much now might cause counter effect.

Elena finished and she opened her window as she finally decided to sneaked out of her room through her window

She had tried the front door but her parents was not asleep yet, infact they were still watching a program and the time was already 7:40 and she only had about

Twenty minutes to meet up with Jason, and the only thing she could think of now was through the windows

She climbed out after she had made a cover up on her bed by using her set of smaller pillows to make an human shape and covering it up

With her blanket in case her parents came in they would think she is still sleeping.

Her window was on top the roof of her house she gentle moved towards the tree branch that was closer to her window and climb down from there

The moment she jumped down she looked around and realise no one saw her and quickly left for her location before she got late

On getting to the address Jason had given her she found out it was actually a party, and most of the student that attended her college was present.

The music is loud, the dance floor is crowded with people, Bobby, had met with her earlier toady and have had the privilege of meeting Elena

spots her as she was nervously arriving at the party, and he approaches her

" Elena! You made it! So glad to see you here" Bobby smiled warmly as he welcomed her into the party, he had been aware that Jason invited her

" Oh, Bobby! I...I couldn't help it, I didn't want to disappoint Jason that why I honoured his invitation, But I must say I wasn't expecting...this." Elena replied looking a bit flustered.

" Don't worry about it, just know You're going to have a great time, I promise, Just be yourself girl and enjoy the night." Bobby said as he placed a reassuring hand on Elena's shoulder

Elena cautiously steps further into the party, as she looked around trying to spot Jason, but a group of girls led by Felicia approaches her.

" Well, well, well, Look who decided to show up, Elena, With those hideous glasses, you actually thought you could fit in here?" Felicia asked with a smirk but she was really boiling inside of her

She was pissed at Elena she had just heard a little rumour that the guy she had a crush on Jason was seen talking to Elena and it was even said that he invited her to the party

He didn't even invite her she had come through another of her countless friends , Elena's eyes well up with tears, feeling hurt by Felicia's words, now she realised she must have being a fool to believe Felicia's words of let bygones be bygones, Bobby quickly steps in between them, assertively

" Felicia, that's enough. There's no need to be mean or judgmental, Elena is just here to have a good time, just like everyone else, including you too"

" Oh, please, She doesn't belong here, She should just leave" Felicia replied while rolling her eyes, she could not stand the thought of Elena getting any closer to Jason

Though she felt that Elena would not be the type of girl Jason would be into, but still yet she was still not interested in taking any type of gamble with her chance of getting Jason

" Look, Felicia, everyone is welcome here, It's not about how someone looks, it's about enjoying the party and making memories, And speaking of looks, Elena is beautiful with or without her glasses, So, instead of spreading your negativity here while not take it else where " Bobby said to Felicia calmly but

Felicia seems taken aback by Bobby's words towards her, she had never felt any one would ever say such hurtful words to her , her defensive stance momentarily faltering.

" Elena, you deserve to be here just as much as anyone else, Don't let anyone bring you down or make you doubt yourself."

" Thank you, Bobby, I appreciate it." Elena cleaned her eyes feeling really happy at the moment, she was thinking maybe college won't be that bad after all

It was just her first day and she already has a crush on the most popular guy and someone even defended her too she have never felt like she belonged somewhere like this before

Felicia and her friends watched as Bobby led Elena away, The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and anger lingers in the air, Felicia took a deep. Breath

" Alright, everyone, I know we're all frustrated about Elena, but let's try to stay calm and rational"

" Felicia, how can we stay calm?, I think She's constantly trying to get closer to Jason, and it should be driving you crazy!"

" Yeah, it's like she's always around where Jason is, and Jason doesn't seem to notice this fact yet "

Felicia friends both put in words as they tried to convince her she had to do something about Elena being close to Jason if she still wants the guy

" I understand your concerns, but we have to remember who Jason truly is, He's smart, caring, and devoted to people who genuinely deserve his attention and he would realise soon that Elena is not his class" Felicia replied

" Sarah, listen to me. Jason sees Elena for who she is. Besides, the connection am building with him is based on trust and understanding, someone like Elena who is inexperienced with guys like Jason can't compare with me"

" But what if he gets swayed by her charm?" her friend chipped in

" Look, Elena may be trying to get close to Jason, but he's not easily moved, No matter how hard Elena tries, Jason won't be swayed easily, he is mine and mine only" Felicia replies with a confident smile

" I suppose you're right, We just need to trust him and not let Elena's actions affect our mood"

" Exactly, Amelia. Our mood should be for the party, not worrying about Elena instead".
