Amber sat off to the side at the party while Trina may her way over to the food tabling, laughing and making wise cracks the whole way. She looked down at her foam cup and fiddled with it while she waited. How she let Trina talk her into coming to these places...
"Hey."
Amber looked up and into the eyes of a blonde-haired pretty boy.
"Oh, um, I..." she said.
"So, you're Trina's friend, right?" he said. "Does this Saku guy actually exist, or is Trina just blowing me off?"
Amber giggled.
"Both, actually," she replied. "Saku goes to school interstate, and some guys seem to need convincing that she's not interesting in going behind his back."
"Ahh," he nodded. "I'm Dexter. And you?"
"Amber."
"Pretty name."
"Thanks."
"Maybe you and I could hook up sometime, then?"
"Oh, umm... "
"C'mon, it'll be fun," Dexter wheedled.
Amber chewed her bottom lip and finally nodded.
"Okay," she said.
