The bad boy and me

Party

Cove's part outfit ^^^

Cove's POV
Today's the day. I'm going to my first high school party. In just a few hours, we'll be surprising River with it.

Azalea and I have everything ready, the only thing is that she still needs to find a distraction. She should be working on it right this second.

It's been really hard acting normal all day, knowing that it's River's birthday and I can't say anything.
When he picked me up for school, it took everything in me not to jump in his arms and kiss all over his face.

I found the time on Wednesday to buy him a gift. It was extremely hard since he can probably afford the whole country, so it has to be very meaningful.

I took a lot of time and caused a bunch of frustration, but I finally found something perfect. I know that he'll love it.

"Cove, can you please hold this end while I pin the other side?" Currently I'm helping Leah set up for the school dance.

I stayed here with her while River went home. I told him that I'd go with Leah so he doesn't have to stay and he agreed. He doesn't want to be here unless I want him to.

I don't blame him one bit, I don't really want to be here either. Sweaty bodies "dancing" around in a hot, cramped gym for 2 and a half hours just isn't really my thing. Jeez, if I think this is bad, I wonder how I'll hand a real party.

"Okay! Finally we're done. Let's hurry and change, people are already coming," she said."

I nodded and followed Leah to the bathroom, going inside a random stall. I quickly stripped from my jacket and leggings, then put on a burgundy colored dress that has a pretty belt.

I curled my hair this morning so all I have to do is put on a light lipstick color. I'll do the rest of my makeup for River's party later.

"Oh cute Cove! Okay, let's go."

We walked out to the gym that's filling up with dozens of students by the second.

"How many tickets did you sell again?" I asked as we escaped to behind the snack bar. I can feel all the germs radiating in the air, this is going to be torturous.

"200 I think, but we're allowing people to buy tickets here incase they didn't have time to do it before hand."

"Really! Why do you willingly put yourself through this?"

"I don't know! I didn't seem like a bad idea up until now. Oh look, my date is here!" She started to move towards the entrance but I stopped her.

"Your date! I thought we were coming together, you're ditching me!"

"I'm really sorry, this wasn't supposed to be the plan. Something happened. You can come with us if you want, just stand near the-"

"No way, Just go. I'll see you later I guess." I didn't bother to hide the disappointment in my voice. Why would she make me come if she is just going to leave me for somebody else.

"Cove this wasn't-"

"Just go. It's fine. I'll meet send you the address so that you can drive to the party with Ian." Great, I let my emotions get the best of me. Now I no longer have a ride.

Leah was about to say something else but Ian came and took her to the dance floor. Now what?

I sighed, sitting on the floor and pulling out my phone to text someone.

Party's boring, I sent to River. He responded almost instantly.

Really, why?

There's nothing to do, Leah left so I don't know anybody.
