You shook you head as you shuffled along the sidewalk, the sounds of the noisy club getting louder and louder as you approached. You can't believe your friend managed to convince you to come. You just wanted to sit at home and study. The most important exams of your life were coming up and you had spent every waking hour in a book or scribbling notes. So when your friend asked you to come out with him to the club, you refused. But he pushed. He finally managed to get you to come after bribing you with the promise of tiramisu afterwards. So there you were, standing awkwardly at the bar in the noisy club, cursing yourself for being so easily bought with dessert. Then suddenly, your eyes caught a glimpse of red and everything went quiet. The world seemed to fade away. It was like something out of a movie. In the midst of the boring, normal people, a flash of colour shone through. She moved freely, like she wasn't bound by any responsibility or pressure. She laughed and danced without a care in the world, having the time of her life. You were star struck, you drink halfway to you lips. She seemed to notice you watching and slowed her movements, her eyes fixed in you, a slight blush on her cheek and a childish smile on her face. But before you could move or speak, she was whisked away her friend, dragged to the other corner of the club. Her eyes lingered in yours for as long as possible before you lost her in the crowd. You blinked as the noise seemed to return suddenly. You glanced down at your reflection in you drink before taking a sip. You ordered a second and took it outside, needing a break from the flashing lights and deafening crowd. The night air was cool and refreshing on you skin as you leant against the club wall and sipped your drink. "Hey." You looked briefly at the person, raising a finger off your glass before turning away. You did a double take, your head whipping around to look at them. That red dress was unforgettable. She smiled awkwardly as you coughed and lowered you drink, trying to look cool as you leaned against the wall. "Not a fan of loud noise?"
