I took a minute to admire the house as I walked up the path towards it.

The house near the beach was huge. It was a modern two-storey white house that appeared to have only been built only a few years ago. It might as well have been made with dollar bills because it radiated richness.

Even from outside of the building, I could hear the head-banging music and the noise of drunk people clattering about. The flashing lights and silhouettes were visible through the large front window.

Walking into the house held the same experience. The hallway was just as fancy as the outside with the same theme of clean white marble walls. The house appeared more of a showroom rather than a home. There was no ornaments or photographs in sight.

I nudged Lana who was busy looking around the place "Are you looking for an exit already?"

She never answered.

"It was you that wanted to come here." I pointed out.

Her voice sounded sarcastic as she remarked "I'm just looking for the pool and the butler's quarters."

The indoor pool was situated downstairs, but I did not tell her that. It would only have her asking more questions about much I visited the house.

A door at the end of the corridor led to a big open-spaced room. It was the size of my whole apartment. The walls were white but the multicoloured lights from the disco lights danced on the marble and lit up the place.

There were about thirty people in the room. Some I recognised from school and most I recognised from the football team.

Before I could think about asking Lana if she wanted to head home, Chase was in front of us with a beer in each hand.

None of the beers in his hands were for us.

"Thanks for coming." Chase said to the both of us and then he leaned in and kissed the corner of my mouth as he added quietly "I'm sorry about the whole thing at gym. I'm glad you came."

I nodded and smiled back at him as he nodded in Lana's direction.

I had not fully forgiven him but there was no point arguing with him over the loud sound of the music.

Lana nodded politely at him before speaking "Hi Chase. Cool party."

"Thanks." He replied, taking a sip of his beer before he motioned across the room "I have someone for you to meet."

Another guy that looked similar to the quarterback himself was standing near the large window of the living room. He had Sandy blonde hair and bright green eyes.

Chase introduced him as Kyle.

Lana grabbed my arm and pulled me to her so that she could whisper "I didn't know Chase was a matchmaker."

"Neither did I." I muttered back.

Kyle offered me a small smile before he waved his beer bottle at Lana and asked, "So you are Ella's friend?"

"Yeah." She answered him shortly.
