1. When two worlds collide
"Remind me again why are we going to that party?" I asked my best friend Amelia Williams. We have been friends since I can remember and, in appearance, we are opposite. Amelia has brown hair and green eyes. I have blond hair and blue eyes. "Because Jacob Anderson will be there, and you know I have been crushing on him for forever." she said, fixing her top, I rolled my eyes and put on my mini Skirt. "Are you going to talk to him this time?" I said and she smiles." I think so yes" she says and I smile. We walked out to my car, a Jeep Wrangler my parents gave me when I turned 16. But let me introduce myself first. My name is Abigail Smith. I am 18 years old, and I live in Orange County, a small town in Newport Beach. I have lived here my whole life and, yes, my parents are very rich. I am the rich girl from the OC.
Amelia put on music, and we drove to this random house. We stopped in front of the house, and it was already packed. "Lia, are you sure about this?" I asked her, and she nodded, getting out already, "Yes now come, live a little Abby". She said, and I laughed, got out, and we walked to the front door that was open. We stepped in, and I was hit with the smell of weed immediately. Amelia took my hand, and we walked to the kitchen where the alcohol was. She poured for each of us a vodka and I thanked her, walking to the back of the party. Some people were swimming. "Abby is that you?" I turned around and saw my friend Adam walking towards us and I smiled, he looked almost like me, blond hair with blue eyes. "Hey Adam, how are you?" I asked, hugging him, and he hugged Amelia also.
We stood there chatting, "Abby, there he is" she said, and I looked at where she was looking. I saw Jacob Anderson, but I also saw this sexy man with him. He looked older than us, and he had tattoos everywhere on his neck, arms and hands. He had black hair and green eyes. I must have been staring for too long because he looked up and our eyes met. I can feel the blush in my cheeks, and he leans in and says something to Jacob, who nods and looks our way, and he whispers something back to the other guy, who nods and looks at me again. I broke eye contact and looked at Amelia. "Who is that with Jacob?" I asked and she shrugged. "Stay away from him Abby, he is the town's drug dealer, and he is in a gang." Adam said, and I just nodded, staring at this sexy man.
"O my god he is coming this way." Amelia said, and I laughed at her being so dramatic. "Hi, Lia how are you?" he asked her, and she hugged him with a huge smile. "Hey Abby," he said, and I also hugged him. He talked with Lia a bit and then looked at me, "Abby, can I introduce you to my friend, he would like to meet you." he said, and I looked up at the man still standing there looking at me. I nodded, and we walked to him. I could see he had a grin on his face and I couldn't help but blush. "Braxton, this is Abigail Smith and this is Amelia Williams" he introduced us and the man smiled at me. "Nice meeting you Abigail, you can call me Brax" I smiled and nod. "You can call me Abby" I say, and his smile grew bigger. I saw Lia and Jacob standing and talking, and I did not know what to say. "So you come to a lot of parties?" I asked him, and he laughed, "A few" he said, and I nodded. "Do you life in the OC?" I asked again and he nods sipping his drink.
"Why have I never seen you before?" I ask and he leans in closer. "Maybe because you were hanging out with the wrong crowd" he says, and I laugh, "maybe" I say sipping my drink, and he just keeps on staring at me. "So how old are you Abigail?" he asks "Just turned 18" I say, and he smiles like he is proud that I am not younger. " Well happy birthday then" he says and I laugh blushing. The silence was awkward, and he kept on staring at me. "Well, I am going to go" I said and he grabbed my arm. "No wait, let's talk some more" he said and I burst out laughing. "I am the only one talking, Brax" I say and he smiles. "Okay then come lets sit" he says, and we sat on the chairs outside. "So Abby tell me about yourself?" he says, and I giggle, "What do you want to know." I ask sipping my drink, "Everything" he says and I frown
"Okay well I am in high school, graduating this year, I live here in the OC, and I am 18" I said, blushing because I had already said that. "How about you?" I asked and he frowned. "Well, if I tell you what I do I will have to kill you pretty girl." he says, and I look at him shocked. "I heard story's about you." I say, and he smiles, "Yeah and what did you hear?" he asks sitting back. "You're a drug dealer and your dad is in a gang." I say and he smiles. "And does that scare you pretty girl?" he asks, and I blush that is the second time he called me that. Before I could say anything, I heard my name and I saw Jason and Adam walking towards us. "Abby, come, we are playing beer pong, and we need our partner," they said, looking from me to Braxton. I nodded and stood up. Just before I leave, I lean closer with my hands on the table, looking in his green eyes. "O, and Brax, I don't scare that easily," I say, and he raises his eyebrows, smiling. "See you around," I say, walking away.
I walked to the beer pong table and I could feel Braxton's eyes on me. I soon started playing, and I was having a good time. Me, Jason and Adam were always winning at beer pong and when we won, Adam was the first to hug me as we were celebrating. I walked inside to get another drink and went back to see if I could find Amelia. I saw her still talking to Jacob and I left her to talk, and I saw Braxton was gone. I went back inside and started taking shots with some of the people, and then I went to dance, we played another round of beer pong and by 2 that morning I was tired, and I was looking for Amelia. I texted her and I saw her in a car making out with Jacob. I smiled and walked closer. "Hum", I cleared my throat, and they pulled apart, looking at me and I smiled.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I am leaving, are you coming with me?" I asked Amelia, folding my arms, as I was cold. "Yeah one second," She said, and I nodded, looking everywhere, then at them. "Okay let's go" she said hooking our arms together, and I turned around to wave at Jacob, and he waves back getting in the car, I did not see Braxton sitting in the car. "Sooo" I say and Amelia giggles blushing, "Jip I am definitely in love" she says and I laugh. We got in the car, and we drove to my house. Amelia was talking the whole way about how wonderful Jacob is and that she is seeing him again tomorrow. I was happy for her and I just smiled.
