Love triangle? How Bout Square

A Party To Remember

The party was in full swing. It was in a big house off campus. When Mads and I arrive, we go and find the boys, who end up not being together. Mark is in the kitchen and Max is in the living room sitting on the couch. I went over to him and sat next to him, since Mads went off to talk to boys.

"Hey" I said shyly, as we had just gotten together yesterday over text, not even in person.

"Hey... do I need to call you babe or something?" He asked, looking at me, then then his hands.

"Not if you don't want to... You can call me whatever you want", I responded.

"Ok... Can I tell you something?" He says, looking at me.

"Yeah you can tell me anything" I said, smiling.

He looks around for a second then leans over to whisper in my ear "You are actually my first girlfriend, so I don't really know what I am doing..." He says, then pulls away and looks down at the ground. I thought for a second, wow that's surprising, then I leaned in to whisper in his ear and say

"It's OK because you are my first boyfriend, so I am new at this too", I smiled at him and kissed his cheek lightly. He smiled back at me relieved.

"Cool" He says.

"I'm going to go get us drinks" I said and stood up. He nodded. I walked into the kitchen and saw Mark standing right next to the drinks. His mind was open as usual, so I decided to take a peek as I grabbed a drink for Max and I.

I see an image of him grabbing my hand and pulling me to him. As he puts his hands on my hips and turns me around, he is pinning me against the counter. He stares into my eyes before kissing me gently, then more passionately. He then trails kisses down my neck before letting his teeth graze my neck and I moan.

I pulled out of his mind and looked at him. He is smirking at me not knowing I just saw what was in his mind. I blush deeply as I feel my eyes change color.

"Can we talk?" He asks, getting closer to me.

"Uh... Um.... Maybe later", I said, not looking at him and hurry out with the drinks. I got back to Max and handed him his drink as I sat down.

"Hey, you OK, what took you so long" he says are looking at me concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a lot of people in the kitchen bugging me." I gave a half smile. I tried to calm down and get my eyes back to normal. I take a big gulp of my vodka. I feel the alcohol flowing through me and warming me up. Max and I just sit and talk most of the night until I get up to go get more drinks. Before I get to the kitchen Mark stops me.

"Can we talk now?" He asks, standing in front of me blocking me from the kitchen. I look back and see Max and Mads talking.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked shyly with my head down, not wanting him to see my eyes. He grabs my hand and leads me outside to the side of the house where no one is around. "What are you doing?"

"I wanna talk to you about your eyes. Why do they change color and what do they mean?" He asks, getting close to me.

"I... Uh... Um... Well.... Idk if I should tell you all of that.." I stumbled as I tried to find the words to say to him.

"That's not good enough." He says, getting kind of upset. He looks around and thinks for a minute before turning and looking at me. "Your eyes are red. Why?"

"I'm nervous...When I am nervous they are red.."

"What about earlier when they were that bright blue green?"

"Uh.. Um.." I looked around nervously, not knowing how or if I should tell him what that bright teal color meant.

"Sage! Just tell me please."

` "I.... Uh.."

"Sage!" I heard Mads call my name.

"I have to go.." I say as I try to walk away, but he grabs my hand.

"Sage tell me first please"

"My eyes change color with my mood... at that moment after seeing what you were thinking about... It was lust..." I said that as I tore my hand away and ran away to Mads. When I get to Mads, she gives me a weird look.

"What are you doing out here?"

"I just went out to get some fresh air.... And to puke I guess I had too much" I lie, I only had about half a cup, which would be probably 2 shots, so I was buzzed not enough to puke though. She was still giving me a weird look.

"OK if you say so.." she says, before turning her head over her shoulder and saying "Max is looking for you." and she disappears into the party. I walked into the kitchen first before heading into the living room when I saw he was not in the kitchen. I see he is in the same spot as I left him, but he is on his phone texting someone. I walked up behind him to try and see who it is. The name on it was Lilly. What the hell was he messaging her for? I felt my eyes change to emerald green with jealously of her. It looks like he talks to her more than he talks to me. I sat down across from him. He looks up and puts his phone away.

"Hey, what were you doing? Where did you go?" He says casually.

"Outside. Felt sick and needed fresh air. Who were you texting?" I said.

"Oh, I was just talking to Mads while you were gone before she went looking for you. And she just messaged me saying she had found you and I was telling her thanks." he says at me, confused as to why I was so annoyed.

"Sure"

"What is wrong?" He asks, still confused.

"I don't know why, don't you ask Lilly" I said, and I got up and walked out running into Mark on my way out and I began to cry. He looks down at me concerned, but I push past him and leave the party and head back to my room on campus. Mark caught up with me.

"Hey! What is going on? What happened? Where are you going?" he asked me, reaching for my hand.

"Nothing, I'm going home!" I said, looking at the ground.

"Well, you shouldn't be out here alone. Let me walk you back to my place and I'll get you some water and some food because I'm sure you haven't eaten since I saw you earlier at the cafeteria." he said. That was weird. Why is he being so nice to me? He was so rude to me earlier in the cafeteria. And earlier in the backyard.

"Yeah. Sure" I say wanting to know what is up with him. We started heading back to his place.
