The Night We Met

Chapter 3

 It's been a couple of weeks now since I have been home I was mentally and emotionally exhausted and I just wanted to be alone and rest. I've missed my room and my house all in all even though it was just mom, Stacey, and I that all I needed. "Aspen!!" Stacey yelled

 "Stacey what did you burn this time, I don't smell any smoke I think you're good," I yelled running down the stairs. 

" Burn,..what are you talking about, your friend is here" With an attitude, she points to the front door.

"Who?" I asked 

"I don't know I just see red hair flying." She rolled her eyes. When she said this I knew exactly who she was talking about Keva. Stacey never liked Keva she never really told me why but she just didn't like her she always told me "I see what you don't". I never knew what that meant but to have my sister and my best friend not on good terms wasn't a good thing at all. I loved them both so much and my sister and I were really close but I hated having to take sides.

"Stace,... be nice please" I put my hand together pleading to her but she just looked at me and gave a fake smile.

"AAAAAAHHH hey girl I've missed you so much," Keva screamed and pushed her way in through the door. "Your house is still as nice as I remember it" Keva looks around and nods her head like she's some kind of health inspector. 

"Oh hey, Stacey" Keva has this huge smile and was attempting to walk in for a hug. Stacey smiled and took a step back to avoid hugging Keva the look on her face was like she had seen the most disgusting thing ever.

"Aspie I will be in my room if you need me okay," Stacey says to me and makes her way up the stairs. All I could do is smile and nod there was no trying with those two Stacey hatted Kave and Keva knew it,...well I think. 

"Dude your sister hates me" Keva widens her big green eyes and laughs. I guess she did know. 

"Anyway off on the bad vibes and on to you,... what are you wear?" Keva asked me looking at my outfit, which was just some blue light-washed jeans and a Stanford sweater that I got from Hollister. It was my favorite sweater not to mention very comfy. 

"Your going to wear that" Keva looked me up and down trying her best to hide her judgment of my outfits but it didn't work. I looked down at my newly brought jeans and said in a high pitched voice "yeah isn't it cute"

"It's cute but don't you think that you should probably,..will I don't know put on something more,.. you no" as she gestures to her boobs. Keva was not the modest type at all she dressed in any and everything she wanted she was a very vocal person when it came to her style. 

"Reveling? K it's literally 36 degrees out, I would rather be warm than dead." I smiled and walked out of the house making my way to Keva's bright red Toyota Camry.

"Dead how--,"

Walking into the party I didn't know what to expect Keva knew everyone there. They were all her friends literally the same as her, very,......comfortable with each other. In one corner there were people making out in the other there were people puking their brains out. Then some other illegal activity was going on as well.

"Killer right" Keva yelled jumping up and down to the music.

"yeah totally uhh.....killer," I say confusingly.

"OMG Aspen loosen up some this is your first-ever college party"

".....well your first-party ever" she tilts her head to the side and looks up.

"..enjoy yourself girl."

"Yeah...I-I know I'm just.."

"Hold that thought come on," she says and pulls me by the arm.

When we get outside by the pool it was a little group of people sitting on what looked like, very expensive patio furnisher gathered around a bonfire. There was a girl with tattoos on her arms, blonde hair, a nose piercing, and big blue eyes, sitting next to her was this very tall guy with glasses who didn't exactly look like he belonged here but hey I didn't look like I belonged at this party at all so that makes two of us. Next to them was Keva's boyfriend or as I like to call him her FWB ( Friends with benefits) Journey he was the sweetest guy ever he was tall ginger and had freckles what was not to love about him. I would think of him more like my best friend than Keva really.  Next to him was this tall handsome guy with the milkiest skin and the most beautiful greenish-blue eyes that I have ever seen with his pushed-back brown hair...he was perfect. He was wearing these black converses with black jeans, a black shirt paired with a denim jacket. I know very plain but the way it laid on his very slider body was so beautiful I felt myself staring so I quickly looked down at my hands to try and hide the fact that I was in fact doing just that,....staring.

"Hey guys this is my bestie, Aspen"

"Aspen these are my peeps"

"Hi," I said smiling and waving like a dewy-eyed school girl. I sat down next to the glasses guy. I decided to ask the glasses guy what his name was because I couldn't keep referring to him as this horrible nickname that I conjured up.

"I never caught your name" I smile and turn towards the glasses guy.

"HaHa yeah, I guess Keva skipped that part, I'm Archer" He held his hand out for me to shake.

"It's nice to meet you" Archer held my hand for a lot longer than he should have and licked his lips I was wondering what he was doing his girlfriend was literally inches away from us. He finally snapped out of it and introduced the rest of the group.

"This is Bexley, Jace, and you already know Journey" he smiled and nodded towards Journey who was sitting on the couch.

"Yes, I do" I smile at him and tilt my head.

"Journey...how are you?"

"Aspen I'm good you know just been busy with Keva.....very busy " He laughed while squeezing her thigh.

"Yes, I've heard" I laugh when I hear a loud voice from the side of me. 

"Well, I'm going to go get drinks anyone want anything" Bexley stands us adjusting her short dress. She asked everyone what they wanted and they put in their orders. 

"Bex wait, Aspen do you want anything," Journey asked and before I could answer "We don't have any juice boxes here sorry" Bexley laughed rolled her eyes, and turned to the tall handsome guy.

"Jace do think you can show me where the kitchen is I think I forgot," Bexley says rubbing his inner thigh. He slowly got up and smirked at Bexley who was looking at him like a lost puppy.

"Excuse me," Bexley said while pushing herself past my legs.

"You can be nicer than that you know" Archer shouted at her as she waited by the pool for Jace. Jace walked up to me staring into my eyes, he put his hands on my legs and gently moved them over.

"Thanks," he smiled and touched my chin with his thumb.

"Aspen, you okay?" Keva asked concerned 

"Don't worry about Bex she's a bitch" Journey said and sat up on the couch

"Yeah noted, "I'm going to the bathroom, where is it,?" 

"I will show you,--" Archer quickly got up

"Uhm, boy no sit down, it's upstairs" Keva pulled Archer by his shirt and pointed to the sliding doors.
