A/N: I made this story using present tense, and this story was made based on a cool song by Cassidy Haley's Whiskey in Church. Kinda suck, but please review so I can make the better one!

I went downtown to the bars

Looking for God in the Jack Daniels

Will I find him in a stranger’s arms tonight?

The only reason why Giana comes here is nothing but one: Get Randy Keller being her lover tonight, at school’s autumn party at his school’s gym. She took all her poise, and stepped into the gigantic gym.

Randy got broke up to his girlfriend, Tanya Houston. And now, he’s a single.

The music’s booming out, and people dance like crazy. Thanks for the school’s principal; Mrs. Jeanne to choose the best DJ in the town to rock the party off. No booze here and no drugs. Just music and dancing to let the student’s stress level off.

She look for Randy through the crowd, she can’t find him. The crowd’s way too dense. So she walks to the party’s mini café, where some couple of student chatted, drink some fruit juice, punch, root beer, soda, and other beverage there. There’s no empty table but one. She sighed, and walks toward that table.

Then a waiter asked her. “Do you want something to drink?”

“Yeah, Mocha milkshake, please” Giana answered, force a smile to get formed on her thin lips.

“In a minute” that waiter walk away just a second after those words come out from his lips.

She sighed, scanned the crowd to look for the boy she look for.

And she found him, dances with Tanya Houston, his ex-girlfriend. Tears welling in her eyes.

Walked on in, checked out the scene

Wasn't looking good, were you looking at me?

“Hey, uh…”

Giana lifts up her head, staring at that boy. Yousef Paddleton, her classmate. “Hi Yousef. What’s wrong?”

“Can I sit there? Looks like that’s the only one which is free here” he pointed at a seat beside her.

Giana sighed, remembered that she wants Randy to sit there. “Sure”

“Thanks!” he cheered. Then the same waiter come and asked the beverage he wants. He chose Dr. Pepper, the stickiest soda ever.

Both of them didn’t say anything for some brief minutes. They just occasionally sip at their drinks and stare at dancing crowd. Giana tried not to look at Randy and his ex-back-into-lover.

Giana wants to go home and forget all her battling to get Randy and look for another guy. But she stays here, looks at the party craze and listens to the electronic music instead.

And she could feel somebody’s look at her now. She turns her head fast to Yousef, and the boy quickly turns to look at the crowd. Giana could sworn she saw him BLUSHING.

Well I could see the devil in you

But I was looking for God so I pushed on through

There’s something odd on Yousef since recent two; or three weeks. He always tried to getting closer and closer with her. But why?

Some school paparazzi gossiping about his crush to Giana and as used to; she’s always thinking those all are nothing but only jokes they made.

But probably it’s true, and honestly she couldn’t resist Yousef. She likes him, a lot. Probably more than her love to Randy.

What? No! All she wants is Randy, Randy, and Randy! She doesn’t want anyone else. But heart said the reverse.

Singing, Oh my God, my God, my God…

Oh my God, my God, my God…

This is not true! No! She loves Randy! She wants Randy! But Randy never loves her, and the only one who attracted to her is Yousef Paddleton. And she likes him too. Just like.

“No… I love Randy” her brain repeat those words like a mantra, but her heart said, “Yousef loves me, and I love him. Randy never know me, and he will never could be mine”

Confusing.

Well you could be alright by me

But then again so could he?

Her heart argument win, she smiled slightly, look to the boy who sits beside her. He’s so beautiful, actually. His messy brunette hair, his eyeliner-framed grey eyes, his strong jaw, and thin lips…

He’s way better than Randy.

“Yousef?”

“Uh… yeah?” Yousef turn around to look at her.

“Which girl you want to took tonight?” Giana asked, smirked toward the boy, causing the boy swallowed hard.

“You won’t know about it” Yousef said.

Giana frowns, support her chin on her right hand’s palm. “Tell me!”

Yousef bit his bottom lip. Giana waited for the answer.

“I want you” he finally stated. “But I heard you’ll get together with Randy”

“Nope, he rejected me even with no contact” she looked at the dancing couple she was witnessed; Tanya and Randy.

“Oh… so sorry to hear that”

Giana turns around and looks at the boy again. She smiled softly.

But let’s have a drink, and we’ll see

Where we're gonna end up tonight?

I said, where we're gonna end up tonight?

“Yousef, it’s not a problem to me to be your date tonight”

Yousef stared her in disbelief. “Really?”

“Yeah, let’s rock on the dance floor!”

“Giana, you really must not do this” he said, in worry. His eyebrows furrowed.

“No, I want it too. Let’s go!” she grabs his hand, and they lost in the dance crowd.

I said, Oh my God, my God, my God…

Oh my God, my God, my God…

Okay, that was such a great dancing. Some sweat beads could be seen on Yousef’s forehead and the light causing them sparkled. A wide smile stretched on his lips. Such a beautiful boy.

They come back to the half-emptied café and panted as they reach some seats. “Wow, I’ve never got as that crazed before” Giana said, flung her head back.

“Yeah, you can say that again”. “Is it just me, or the DJ’s rocking so great tonight?”

“Uh huh, she’s DJ Klaire, the best DJ around here” Giana said, in the matter-of-fact tone.

“Wow, a girl DJ. Not bad” Yousef said. “Is this meaning we’re together?” he asked, accidentally.

“What?” Giana wrinkled her nose, look at the boy. As soon as those words came out of his lips, Yousef cover his mouth with his hand. His eyes widened.

Well maybe this could be

The catalyst for my big epiphany

That'll lead me towards the light

“What did you said?” Giana straightens up her body, look at the frozen boy. Yousef’s lips are parted, he shivered. And the unexpected thing happened.

Tanya yelling so loud to her boyfriend

“What? You date my sister?”

“No Tanya, I wasn’t!”

Tanya Houston doesn’t change at all. She loves to blackmail someone; even her boyfriend. Giana shuddered, or rather, disgusted.

“Well don’t even you dare to lay me for one more time, Mr. Kelley!” Tanya pushed at him, walked away in satisfy with her gank.

Giana could see a big opportunity to get Randy. She won’t get fail; the percentage of her chance is 75%.

Or maybe, maybe, maybe

The devil's more my style tonight

Meanwhile, Yousef stare down at his feet, regretting the words he was said. Giana look at regretting Yousef, then at Randy who look at his liar girlfriend’s back, back to Yousef, then Randy.

Her heart and brain shout out their arguments again. The cool Randy or loving Yousef. Randy is easy to get as a lover, but he probably never loves his girlfriends before. He was only show them off to his football team mate. He’s a representation of the ‘Easy come easy go’ words.

So Yousef is the last choice.

I said, Oh my God, my God, my God…

Oh my God, my God, my God…

“Yousef, what did you say?” Giana asks him in interrogation tone. Yousef’s head lift up, look at her in lament.

“No, never mind” he said, bit his lip again.

“You were said… ‘Is this meaning we are together’ weren’t you?”

Yousef couldn’t move, even the slightest move but his chest which is rising up and down at his breathing.

“Alright, I was”

Giana smiled warmly, bend her head down, and kiss his cheek. “I’ll say yes”

Oh… my… God…

A/N: Hey All! I'm new here and this is my very first post in my blog. Please please please review!

Irene glances up at her boyfriend, Alex Heather, which is hold her little left hand in his warm right one, and drives this car. Their 5^th date, O-Project Cinema.

There’s something wedging her heart, since last week, since she hung out with her pals; Abby and Delmy, at Wal-Mart for some girls shopping. She met a dude, his name was James.

And the truth, she never loves Alex at all. Alex’s no more than a friend at her point of view.

###

Wal-Mart, last Friday

Irene was checked up some fashion articles and her friends did the same. She rose up a pair of slim black cotton slacks from a hanger.

“Delmy, do you think these things good on me?” she asked.

Delmy lift up an eyebrow “Yeah, if those were jeans”

“No way, white ones with a red blouse, and black Mary Janes would be great” Ab said, with a few articles in her hands.

“Yeah, if you are going to the Daily Planet and see Clark Kent there” Delmy mocked, caused Abby rolled her eyes.

Irene smirked, and took a pair of striped flat shoes and those slacks. Then she walked to the shirt’s section. She looked up to some plain, pattern, and even unusual blouses.

Then it happened.

“Ow! Hey!” a girl’s voice, exclaimed. It was a girl who crashed her, with a few things in her little hands.

No, ‘a few’ was an understatement. There are a lot of shopping bags she brought; about 3, and there was a gorgeous older boy stood behind her, with some shopping bags in his hands. He stared at Irene, and she stared right back. Her heart beaten fast.

###

“Irene?”

She gets up from her daydreaming, realizing that they’re only a few miles away from the cinema.

“Honey? Are you alright?” Alex patted her shoulder gently.  “Are you sick?”

“No Al, I’m just… think about some physic homework I got”

She lied. All in her mind was James, James, and James.

“Relax, darling. We’ll watch movie tonight, it’s Friday, let you hair down”

He chuckled, step on the brake as his car’s move to the red traffic light, and bend aside to kiss her cheek. Irene isn’t blushing, she is not. She even doesn’t like it at all. She goes on to her daydream.

###

 “Careful, mistress!” that little girl shouted at Irene, caused Irene shuddered. She’s a teenage girl, probably 13 or 14 years old, with some acne on her face.

“Sorry” Irene said, tried to get up from the slippery floor. So unexpected, that gorgeous boy gave her a hand to help her up.

When they skin touched, the feeling of it was so hard to explain. His skin was so soft, and his grab was so gentle. As soon as she got up, that boy was smiled, a cute smile. Irene felt a heat creep her cheeks up.

She was clearly blushing.

“Are you alright?” that boy asked. Irene nodded.

Irene got blushed more, then that boy introduced himself. “I’m James” he moved his right hand to her.

“Irene” she shook his hand.

Delmy and Ab walked by; stood side-by-side of Irene. They looked at that boy, then to Irene. Their eyes widened as they realized what happened to her.

The little girl who was stood beside James nudged him.

“Oh, this is Alana, my sister”. Alana wide-smiled, showed her sparkling braced teeth.

Irene tried to hide her disgust to her brace, while Delmy and Ab, watched Irene in worry. No way, Irene can’t do this, she can’t just in love with a guy while she had a boyfriend.

When Delmy was going to talk, Irene said to James, “How about some taco at Taco Bell?”

Both Delmy and Ab, got their jaw dropped to the ground as those words came out of Irene’s lips.

###

Although they were unsure about what thing was happen to their friend, Delmy and Ab, which was had a short introduction with James, can understood what was happened to her. Before the Irene and Alex became lovers,  they were friends, and then that relationship grew up more into love, but Irene never loved him, even for a bit.

They could handle their self, and let both James and Irene chat.

“I like your lips, they’re so pretty. How do you give them some right make up?” Alana asked, pointed at Abby’s glossy lips.

Ab raised an eyebrow, and smiled toward that little girl. “Thin lips demand some glossy things. Pick up a natural pink lipstick and brush on them in a thin layer, and give some lip gloss on it”

Delmy nudged her. “She has thick lips; she’ll need the matte one”

“What if we show you some basic makeup you need to know?” Delmy asked grabbed Alana’s full-of-bracelet-wrist.

“Awesome! I’m positive!” the little girl exclaimed.

Irene turned; saw Ab winked at her before they left James, Irene, and her shopping bags at Mall’s Food Court’s Taco Bell to the makeup section.

Irene understood what it meant.

James chuckled, bit down his cheesy taco. “Alana found out herself got puberty last week, and she was so excited. She wanted to call my other sister, Kayla, who is older than her, to go shopping with her. But she was being so busy with her college and career, so she took me to shop here”

Both of them giggled. “Girls, she wanted to look good at school, for sure” Irene said.

“Yeah, she is. I’ve told her that I’m not a good dude in shopping, makeup, or getting boys, but she forced me”

“You should call Kayla” Irene said, sipped at her coke.

Suddenly, they chatted just like a couple of old pal; instead they just met 15 minute ago. James is 16, just a year above her. He’s a school journalist. That’s unusual, Irene used to meet some cool guys who were being basketball team captain, soccer team striker, band’s guitarist, or skater.

But James’ like no other.

“What about Enrique Iglesias?”

“Pretty good, I love his songs, but I’m not a fan” Irene answered, after took another sip of her beverage.

“I prefer Cassidy Haley and Adam Lambert. People think they’re no more than gay dweebs, but I think they should take back their words” James giggled, bite the last of his taco.

“Really? I love Adam Lambert and Cass Haley! Their music and fashion are so uh-mazing!” Irene exclaimed.

James’ lips formed a sweet smile, and right at that time, Ab, Delmy, and Alana came back, with some makeup shopping bag. Not so many, just two bags.

“What did you girls got?” James asked; sip the last of his coke.

“Some lipstick, lipgloss, foundation, two-way-cake, eyeliner, mascara, and hair glitter!” Alana said in bliss.

“Hair what?” Irene wrinkled her nose.

“Hair glitter” Delmy replied. “Some sparkles you can add on your head” Ab mocked.

“Whatever” Irene exhaled.

James chuckled, suddenly his phone rang. A text message. He read a message on the screen, and his eyes widened.

“Oh no! I forgot that I’ll have a biology project to do tomorrow!” James said in a bit panic. “Alana, we must go home now”

Alana’s eyebrows furrowed in disappointment.

“Oh, Irene? I’ll give you my number if need something from me” James said, ripped a bill from one of Alana’s shopping bag, pulled out a pen from his jeans’ pocket, and wrote something on that bill’s blank side.

Meanwhile Irene’s eyes widened, but her friends gave her a teasing look. Irene snorted.

“Here, please keep it” James gave her that paper. A line of number written on it.

“Thanks for the lesson! See ya!” Alana waved to Delmy and Ab from her back, while James brought all her huge shopping bags.

###

“Dear, we are here” Alex said, loosen his seatbelt. Irene’s head feels a bit hurt, after a long daydream fuzz her vision. She sighs heavily, and opens the car’s door, so as Alex.

“Alex, can I say something to you?” Irene said, as they walk by to the cinema.

Alex wraps his arm around Irene’s shoulder. “Anything, hun”

“I met someone, he’s nice, and… he’s way much better than you”. Irene sighed hard. “And the fact is I never love you”

Alex’s eyes get widened. “What?”

“We better just become friends” Irene said; move to let off Alex’s arm, and walks away.

After a few meters walking, she pulls out her phone, pressing some familiar numbers and moves it up to her ear.

“Hello?” James’ sleepy voice answered. It’s not an odd thing when a guy gets so sleepy at 9 PM, right? She smiled

“Hi James! It’s Irene! If you remember me?”

Just like got boosted up, James’ voice become clearer “Oh, hi Irene! What’s up?”

“Listen, can you help me now? I need a ride to go home and no Taxi here”

“Sure! Where are you now?”

Irene smiled. This is going to be a long-lasting relationship between them both
