Paige's
POV
'RORY?' I called out.
I still couldn't see my friend anywhere. I
decided to check upstairs.
I walked into the first room I came to- and
sharply walked out again, shuddering at what I
had seen. I walked into the next one, and there was
Rowan and Blaine Kingsley.
'Rowan, Hi. And, um, Blaine, Hi. Why are you guys
here?'
'Um, nothing, just, er, talking.' Rory
explained.
She walked out in front of me, and so did Blaine. As
he walked down the stairs, he turned round and winked
at me.
Uh oh. That could only mean one thing?
I caught up with Rowan and steered her onto the
dancefloor. We danced for ten minutes- or was it
twenty, thirty? She was a brilliant dancer, but I had
to admit I wasn't bad, seeing as I'd
been to a lot of parties. All the time she was
smiling at me, and I promised myself I'd make her
summer here in Florida amazing.

I was aware people were getting shifted out of the
party. I cjecked the wall clock in the living room:
11.34. I walked to the door and saw Ryan.
'Hey, Ryan- are you okay to take me home
mate?' I asked.
'Sure.' He smiled.
I pulled Rowan out with me.
'We need to meet soon Rory! Text me, yeah?' I
asked, quickly pulling a paper tissue from the table
and scribbling down my number on it.
'Here- now text me tommorow, okay. We could shop-
or go to the beach. You should meet some of my
friends round here too.' I assured.
'Oh my gosh, thankyou, so much Paige.' Rory
grinned.
'I can't wait. This will be the best summer
ever!'
Then, before I knew it, Ryan was pulling me outside
to his car, and I could only hope I'd see Rory
again.
