Tough Love

chapter three

After school, since it was Friday, michael, gracie, ava and I were heading to a party, calum hoods party to be exact. Ava came home with me after school, all her clothes with her.

We started getting ready around 7:00, three hours before the party started, that way we could have time to go pick up michael and gracie. I slipped on a tight black dress, with pumps that matched, and straightened my hair, doing my makeup nicely. "oh katy you look amazing!" I heard ava squeak out. I smiled wide "not too bad yourself, loser" I laughed. she had a short teal dress on, with the back cut out and some black pumps, her hair was wanted and her makeup looked great.

Ava laughed, flipping her hair dramatically "you think it'll be good for Calum?" She laughed again. "oh yeah but I think he'd rather see it on the floor" I laughed, winking. She burst into her loud laugh she does. I honestly thought it was hilarious so I couldn't help but laugh too.

we went and picked up michael and gracie, before heading to the party. I had already put Luke's number in my phone so I decided to text him.

me: hey this is katy reynolds, the girl you sat next to in first period. why'd you give me your number?

I waited a few minutes before I got a response.

luke: hey sweetheart, I asked for your number because I couldn't let a pretty girl get away.

I couldn't help but blush, ava looked over my shoulder and sighed. "And luke has claimed another victim" she mumbled.

"What do you mean 'another victim'?" I asked, oblivious to what she meant. "I mean he's playing you, he's going to rape you or something before the nights over" she had a worried look on her face and shrugged it off, "I'm fine ava, don't worry about it." I had a look that told them I had it under control but the same words kept echoing in my head.

'He's going to rape you or something before the night's over'
