Gloria seemed to be rushing everywhere as her party now was in full swing. With ckose to 20 freshmen now crowding the house Gloria found herself constantly refilling bowls of chips and bringing drinks for everyone. Sighing she now turned to see a group gathered in the living room. Curious about what was happening Gloria now approached to see what was going on.
"Hey Sasha what's going on?"
Sadha smirked as she looked over the group. "People wanted something fun to do so we decided on spin the bottle," she smirked. "You want to play?"
Gloria glanced over the group, eyeballing the teens gathered in a circle. As she did she gave a quiet gasp. "When did Nate get here," she asked breathlessly. Sasha turned noticing the boy Gloria was oggling.
Nate Haskins was a freshman with Gloria who shared many of the same classes as her. "Huh," Sasha said in surprise. "I didn't even notice him come in. He must of taken his kid brother out trick or treating, you know before you changed everyone."
Sasha now looked up at her friend, noticing her cheeks flushing. "OMG your crushing on him," she whispered. "N..no its not like that," Gloria said quickly, trying to advert her eyes. "Yeah right," Sasha frowned. "Listen have a seat, maybe...maybe you get lucky tonight."
Gloria blushed but nodded taking a seat next to Sasha and Felicia. As she gazed across the circle she could see Nate talking with Damon and Libby. Nate turned to see Gloria now sitting in the circle and gave her a warm smile. Gloria blushed, giving him an awkward wave before averting her eyes.
"So whose turn is it," Felicia asked. The group looked around noticing the bottle sitting in the center of the group. "I dont know about you guys but I think our host should have a turn," Damon said, sliding the bottle to Gloria. Gloria now stared down at the bottle awkwardly, feeling herself break into a cold sweat. "Umm I dont know," she murmured. "Maybe someone else should go first."
"Oh come on Gloria," Felicia groaned. "Give it a spin, whats the worse that could happen?"
"I end up kissing my crush and making a fool of myself," Gloria thought.
Taking a deep breath she grabbed the bottle, spinning it with a quick flick of her wrist. As it finally stopped she looked over, making an audible squeak as she saw who she would be kissing.
"Get over here and kiss her Nate," Sasha exclaimed.
Gloria stared wide eyed as the handsome boy smiled shyly at her. Nate wasn't an athlete, in fact many wouldn't of even noticed him. Gloria did though and loved what she saw. Nate was a kind, friendly boy with dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He was kind of quiet but for Gloria it only added to his handsomeness, a strong, silent type. Grinning foolishly Gloria braced herself as Nate approached, a warm smile etched on his face.
The kiss was brief but made the girls heart skip a beat. Letting out an audible wow the group giggled causing Gloria to blush wildly. "That was sooo cute," Felicia said happily.
"Gloria was that your first kiss," Damon asked.
"Um, um, um...i gotta go!"
The group watched as Gloria jumped to her feet, fleeing to the kitchen. "The hell Damon," Sasha yelled. "Why you have to embarass her like that?" Damon laughed feigning innocence as he leaned on his girlfriend/ former daughter. "What I didnt know," he giggled.
Sasha frowned as she and Felicia now now jumped up to search for Gloria.
"Um Sasha," Felicia asked. "Was that her first kiss?" Sasha shook her head as she scanned the room. "I'm not sure," she said. "It is kinda crazy though that of all the people here, he was one of the only ones that wasn't affected by the ring."
"Yeah that is weird," Felicia said thoughtfully. "Its weird but I remember Nate from before, he has a little brother but the ring kinda changed things. Now I remember him having a twin brother."
"Yeah I remember both too," Felicia added. "And my new memories tell me that Nates twin is a polar opposite. Hes loud, atheltic and kind of a jerk."
Felicia and Sasha now looked at eachother, a look of concern etched on their faces. "We better find Gloria before he does," Felica stated. "Nates brother will only make Gloria feel worse." The two teens nodded as they now begam searching the house for their friend.
