One minute later, however, the door was opened and no one less than her
aliby-boyfriend stood before her.

He was completely stunned at seeing Angelica.

"Oh, my…God!" Alex yelled, immediately pulling Angelica in for a
tight hug, while laughing with joy.

"You came after all!" he continued, apparently happier than ever, "I
can’t believe this, this is fantastic…"

Angelica tried to wriggle herself out of his tight hug.

"Yeah, well," she said, forcing a smile to her lips, "I
just…couldn’t miss this."

"Yeah…" Alex smiled from ear to ear, "But what about your moms?"
worry suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"They, uhm…" Angelica hesitated, "They’ve changed their minds."
She was not ready to admit to Alex that she had snuck out of the
house secretely. He might think, she had only done it for him.

"Cool!" Alex grinned, "Thank God lesbians are such liberals…"

"Yeah…" Angelica inwardly rolled her eyes at his ignorance.

"So…don’t you wanna greet your boyfriend appropriately?" Alex said
playfully, getting dangerously close to Angelica’s face.

At that moment, Patricia appeared behind Alex, saving Angelica from the
kiss.

"HI!" Angelica turned away from Alex to hug Patricia. "Pat! Cool,
you’re here, too!"

Patricia looked a little confused. "Well, sure…" she said, then
she tugged Angelica into the house. They quickly disappeared into a
crowd of drunk teenagers,  leaving a rather frustrated Alex behind.

"C’mon, I gotta show you somethin’", Patricia urged Angelica, while they
hurried through the living room of Alex’s house.

When they tried to make their way through the crowd of dancers, Angelica
accidently crashed into somebody, pushing the person onto the floor,
loosing contact with Patricia.

Angelica quickly leant down to the person she had stumbled over.

"Oh, my God, I’m so sorry!" Angelica said desperately, touching the
person’s shoulder. The girl turned around.

Angelica’s world seemed to come to a halt for a moment.

It struck her like lightning. She had never seen a human being as
beautiful as the girl before her. Angelica felt her brain go numb and
she stared at the girl, paralyzed. All she could think was that this
girl looked like a goddess.

"Are you okay there?" the girl spoke up, smiling at Angelica. When
Angelica spotted that smile, she felt even groggier.

"Hello?" the girl still smiled, slowly getting up.

"I…" Angelica forced herself to speak. "I’m…yeah, fine." She
managed to say, her own voice  appearing to come from far away.
