lot of girls have gotten in fights over him. It was like a steel cage match at WrestleMania or a ladder-match. And who ever reach the top gets to have Lion.

He also has an accent because he’s British but he’s not from Britain; strangely enough he’s actually from Alabama. But his parents are from Britain. And if you ever met his family, there kind of weird but only because just like Lion, their accents are all messed up. See, they have a British accent but their vocabulary and lingo is of how they would speak down south. Ever heard a British guy speak like an Alabamian. Let me tell you, if he looks like Lion then it is the single most sexiest thing you’ve ever heard. And what’s makes him even more unique is his name Lion, which is actually pronounced Lee-on. Ah that is so cute.

WAIT! Did he offer Zane a shot?

“No!” I shouted a bit too loudly. Everyone got quiet and looked at me strangely.

I paused before I spoken thinking of how to recover from my awkward outburst. “Uh he’s a…..he’s a recovering alcoholic so no drinks.”

“I’m not an alcoholic Amethyst. I’ve never -”

“Hehe yep that’s right. Just keep telling yourself that and you will succeed with your recovery Zane.”

I quickly took the shot from Lion and downed it myself. Then I decided to get the pre-gamed party started. There were 8 of us, and that’s not including Zane. We spent the next 3 hours goofing and helping to get ready for the main party. The music had to be picked, the food and “juice” bowls had to be filled. We even played spin the bottle and never have I ever for a bit. Unfortunately I didn’t get to kiss Lion because right when it was my turn, the bottle did spin on him but the doorbell rang and party guest were showing up so our game got cut short. So close!

So far the party is wildly amazing. I just hope not as wild as Cassandra’s party. I, Reenee and the rest of the party are enjoying our last night as high school seniors; at least those of us who are seniors. Everything was practically perfect. Or so I thought until I kept getting one surprise heart pulsing attack after another.

“Hey Amethyst!”

I freeze up for a second because the voice I think I heard is Lions’.

I froze up from where I was sitting and my assumptions were correct. It was Lion. He asked to talk to me alone and of course I said yes. But I felt like a dork because I did it so shyly. And naturally the group of girls I was just talking to all teased me in unison.

“Oooooo. Get it girl. Save some for me. Don’t come back empty.” This made me blush so much. If I had lighter skin I swear, along with my face my entire body would be a blushed red.

Lion and I walked over to the snack table and began talking while refilling our drinks.

“So hey.” He said awkwardly shy.

“Hey.” I responded back with I’m sure had to have been the absolute cheesiest shy smile ever recorded in history.

“So your enjoying yourself so far?” Lion asked.

I take a sip trying to avoid stuttering and making a complete fool out of myself. “Um yeah. CJ Detweiler’s parties are always super amazingly fun.”

Damn, did I just say super amazingly fun. Stupid stupid stupid. I’m inner consciously beating myself in the head.

He laughed at me. “Yeah your right their almost as wild as Cassandra Cavera’s parties.”

We both laughed. Then I took another sip. There was an awkward silence for about 5 seconds. I knew I had to do something to spark up our conversation before he gets bored and leave.

“So, were finally graduating huh.” I muttered in pure urgency.

“Oh. Yeah, it’s been a rough journey.” He answered.

“Absolutely. I mean there was track, the school play, clubs, AP classes, Cassandra and her drones.” He chuckled at my joke.

“It’s been so heckted I wasn’t even sure I’d make it.” I continued.

“He giggled yeah. And relationships?”

My heart started to beat insanely faster. Because I knew where the conversation was going. He’s gonna make us talk about…….well us and what used to be or could have been.

Oh I guess I didn’t mention this before but Lion and I used to date. I know, story changer right. We dated almost immediately when he transferred our junior year. And like I said before he’s that movie type guy. He transferred right in the middle of the year and naturally had girls throwing themselves at him. He didn’t really acknowledge anyone. He told me it was because they were all too easy. He didn’t like girls like that, he wanted a challenge, a chase, which apparently I must have gave him.

We met in track practice. But he also did soccer. His parents moved him here because he was getting into too much trouble back home. He sort of had a gang. Although Lion himself never did much bad things, he got into trouble a lot just by association.

Lion told me everything about himself. And I did the same with myself. It was the day I was falling behind in practice that we officially met. I don’t know what it was but I just had an awful practice day. And lion stayed after to help me train. Basically from there we became inseparable. We started dating about 3 weeks later. (Actually it was just a week after but I was so blind to notice that we were already dating.) He never actually asked me out; we kind of just started calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend.

But one memory of lion that is still burned into my mind is the last day of summer vacation of that same year. We were at his house with friends. He threw a small party because his parents were away for the entire weekend. And when it was all over they all left and I helped him clean up. Next we went upstairs to his room and watched a movie. We saw Big Mama’s House 2, not the most romantic movie I know, but it was really funny. We laughed our whole way through it but didn’t even realize how much closer we were sliding together on his bed. Then when the movie ended we started reciting our favorite parts and reminisced other funny movies. At that moment, just as you probably guessed what happened next, we started to get intimate.

At first, the usual we started making out excessively and passionately. But something was different that time. When our eyes met, I had this strange feeling rush over my body from top to bottom. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. It was scary but exciting. Terrifying but exhilarating. Troubling but – you get the point. I’m not sure what I was doing but I started to take his shirt off. Then he did mine. Then came our pants and soon enough we were both down to our underwear. Something told me that I shouldn’t be doing this; that it’s a bad idea but a more inspiring feeling told that me I shouldn’t stop because everything was feeling right.

I was on top and in full control of the situation. At least I thought I was until Lion began taking off my bra and his parents walked in. We immediately jumped apart and all I could remember after that is a lot of screaming and nasty words thrown at me by his mother.

That was actually the last time I spoke to Lion. His mother put him on lock down. She and her husband dropped and picked Lion up from school and practices every day. They never let him out of their site. She even had him transferred out of every class we had together and demanded the principle keep me as far away from Lion as possible. But luckily when she called my house to tell my mom what a tramp I was Tavan and Reenee were there so Tavan answered the phone.

And that’s our story; and the reason why speaking to him right now is so awkward. Things were left unfinished.

“No, not me. I wasn’t in any relationship during my senior year. I…..uh…..I couldn’t find anyone that was as exciting or as dangerous as you.”

He smirked.

“Well I was……dating someone.” Lion had his head down, looking to his side as if he was about to break up with me.

So the rumors were true then.

“Dating. I’m surprised. I thought your mom would never – wait did you just say WAS.” I asked shocked, puzzled and all toiled up with emotions.

“Yeah. She was my fiancé. After my mom found us…..you know in that situation she decided that, that was the last mistake I’d ever make and she will pick someone for me.”

“For you?”

“I know. So she picked this snotty rich girl who is supposed to be a respectable woman that every parent would want. But what my mom and her parents don’t know is that she is the biggest and best liar I’ve ever met. She’s actually pretty loose, luckily for me.” He chuckled lightly.

I cannot believe he’s bragging right now. “Oh you must be really lucky then because -” I began to step back preparing to make a hasty exit.

He reached for my arm and reeled me back in. “No no no you misunderstood I just meant it is ironic that my parents chose someone they thought would be perfect and respectable for me but it turned out she’s the exact opposite. You were the right girl for me.”

I can’t believe he’s going to make me get all emotional right now. Why is he bringing this up now? Why is he even out, his mom is such a tightass. Is he trying to say goodbye or what? Or is he –

“And besides I broke off the engagement. I’m 18 now. I finally stood up to my mother and told her that I make my own decisions now; and that I know I have made mistakes in the past but you were the one and one choice I had ever made that wasn’t a mistake. My mom was furious. But then I stormed out the house and came here. I snuck out yesterday too but I couldn’t find you.”

I cannot believe this.

“So your telling me you disobeyed your mother, broke off your engagement, risk being disowned just to tell me that you made a mistake.”

“I know it’s a little too late I should have done this sooner but my mom wouldn’t let me out of her sight and - ”

I shut Lion up by hugging him tightly. Just knowing that he was still thinking of me was comforting; and the rumors of him dating some rich girl from his part of town weren’t true also were comforting.

I smiled so big. “I’m so happy.”

We both stared fiercely into one another’s eyes watching all our past memories in the other’s pupils like a bootlegged movie.

Once again I started first. I leaned in to kiss him and he followed but as luck would have it, it doesn’t like me too much. There standing right behind Lion’s head in the other room was Senya. What the hell is she doing here?

Oh no Zane! She’s looking for Zane!

“Zane!” I shouted quickly speeding
