I\u2019d seen her the day before with her friend, Liam, hanging a poster for some club or function in the hall after school, heads together about something. Under usual circumstances, I wouldn\u2019t have noticed, but in this case, I had because I\u2019d noticed Emma and how cute she was. I had noticed her for a while, but she was out of my league.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emma wouldn\u2019t be partying like this. She definitely wouldn\u2019t be sitting in Griff\u2019s lap, and if she were, it would piss me off, but I didn\u2019t consider why. She was probably at home, doing something productive, like homework, or a group study session. Perhaps she was doing something fun and wholesome, like a movie with her friends. I wondered if she went to the movies. Though I wasn\u2019t exactly sure why I wondered, because I wasn\u2019t a big movie goer (too boring to sit in one spot for too long).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why was I even thinking of Emma at all?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t like we talked. Sometimes, I thought she might be looking at me in the cafeteria at school or in the hallway as we passed one another. Her pretty eyes always slid away, but they made me curious. What color were they? Was she just glancing at me, or was she looking? I used to think about her. A lot. That started in the eighth grade when she yelled at Cole Butler in science during a lab. She\u2019d been so fiery and funny. The memory still made me smile. We hadn\u2019t had many classes together \u2014 one or two, maybe \u2014 because she actually tried at school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I shook my head to get my errant thoughts about Emma out of my mind. Leaving Griff and Wannabe Emma behind, I walked through the living room.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deb stopped me with a hand on my chest. \u201cHey, Tanner. Want to dance?\u201d An invitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The message was clear: I could have stayed there with her and gotten laid, but it made me tired. Instead I said, \u201cI\u2019m looking for Penelope,\u201d and even as I said it, I was hoping she\u2019d already left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deb shrugged, because that was as much as I meant to her. \u201cUpstairs,\u201d she told me and returned to grinding to the music with her group of friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I moved through the crush of people toward the stairs, even though I wasn\u2019t sure why I was going through these motions. A different choice seemed an impossibility, though I couldn\u2019t articulate why that was so. Josh and Danny were sitting in a group smoking weed, and they offered me a head nod as I passed. I gave them an eyebrow raise in return and started up the stairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Near the top, I almost tripped on someone sitting on the steps. \u201cWhoa.\u201d It was a girl folded over on herself, and because I\u2019m not a complete douchebag, despite what I know has been said about me, I leaned down and asked her, \u201cYou okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The girl tipped her head up to look at me, and suddenly, I was looking into the face of\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEmma Matthews?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She smiled, and it lit up her eyes \u2014 dark blue with swirls of gray \u2014 like stars in a dark sky. \u201cTanner James.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAre you drunk?\u201d I asked. I was too, but not enough to help me forget that Emma was the object of my secret fantasies, along with the fact I\u2019d just been thinking about her. I shook my head to make sure I wasn\u2019t dreaming. There wasn\u2019t anything in our experiences that should have contributed to our paths crossing, and yet, there she was, as if I\u2019d conjured her. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m feeling really good.\u201d She smiled again, and I remembered feeling that smile in my stomach like a lead weight had melted into molten liquid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy are you sitting here on the stairs?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWaiting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor what?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou.\u201d She giggled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That made no sense. First, why would Emma Matthews be at this party? Second, why would she be drunk? And third, why would she say she was waiting for me? I wondered if someone was playing a joke on me and even looked around, but it was just the two of us in the hallway. I slid down the wall and sat next to her. \u201cYou\u2019re definitely drunk if you\u2019re waiting for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDid I say that?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOh. That\u2019s a secret.\u201d She pressed a finger to my lips, and that touch dove all the way from the top of my neck to the base of my spine like I\u2019d been zapped with electricity. \u201cI\u2019m supposed to find Liam.\u201d Then she moved her finger from my lips to hers, her dark blue eyes \u2014 flecks of green and aqua too \u2014 never leaving my mouth. \u201cShh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My heart pounded in my chest, excited by the form her lips took against her finger. \u201cDamn, Emma. I didn\u2019t know you drank.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMe either.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>From The Stories Stars Tell.
