broken and insecure

5. The Party

Isabelle's P.O.V

     The mall trip with my mom was prety uneventful she went to 5 or 6 stores before finding a dress she liked. I found mine in the second store so I basically just chilled on the chairs by the waiting room, comenting on the dresses she liked enough to show me. There were a lot. Finally after the 10th or 11th store of her just regularly shopping we were done and on our way back to the house. Once we got home I went to my room and hung my dress in my closet. Mom went to her room to get ready for bed and Carter was in his room most likely playing video games, dad was working late at the dealership. I decided to take a bath before I laid down so I grabbed some clothes and walked in the bathroom, turning the water on and getting undressed. I turned some music on before getting in. After washing my hair and body I got out checking my phone, seeing a notification from Rory

   Rory ;) : Hey what are you doing over the weekend?

   Me: I have to be at my house saturday for some stupid get to know us party, but sunday i'll be free

   Rory ;) : I could come if you want.

   Me: that's okay, I wouldn't want to bore you

   Rory;) : okay babe. i'll text you Sunday so we can work something out.

   Me: will do :)

     putting my phone down I started getting dressed before laying down and putting a show on netflix before falling asleep. I woke up and got dressed before going to school, It was a noraml day. Rory would walk me to my classes and in 2nd and 3rd period I would take whatever chance I could to look the blue eyed girl. when I got home I did my homework ate dinner took a bath and went to bed. The next day was the same. It was now the dreaded saturday morning. I got dressed into something comfortable before heading downstairs to help my mom get ready for the party. She was already in the kitchen cooking, the smell hiting me before I even reached the bottom of the stairs. I decided to head down there and see if I could help with anything before I started getting dressed. She was making some fancy appatizers to set out on the table for anyone who decided they were hungry throughout the party, on my dads way back to the house from work yesterday he picked up some alcohal so we could make margaretas or any other fancy mixed drinks. Along with wine of course. I helped my mom fix the food while she did the drinks placing them in the fridge. This went on for a couple hours before there was only an hour left before people were expected to show up, I decided it was time for me to go up to my room and get dressed.

    I put on a simple look for my makeup some light eyeshadow and nude lipstick after putting my hair up into a neat low bun. After I was done I grabbed the dress out of my closet and put it on taking a quick picture and sending it to rory asking her how I looked. The dress was black and fit my curves perfectly there was a slit on the slide giving me more room on the bottom to walk, it ended near my ankles. it was off the sholder, the straps came up from the side of my chest and went up to a connected chocker. I wore a pair of black heals that had straps running up my feet to my ankles. By the time I was done I could hear people talking downstairs. I was getting a little thirst so I decided to go downstairs and socialize a little bit before getting a water and heading back to my room. I walked down stairs and there were anywhere between 25 to 30 people in the living room, dining room and in the backyard, talking profesionally, well mostly, basically the only people outside were small children and teens.

     Mom spotted me and dragged me along with her greating people for about 30 minutes, finally I was able to slip away and get a water before going back up to my room. I was bored. Extremely bored. Rory messaged me about the dress complimenting me and we were talking but I guess she got busy or fell asleep or something. I looked around my room searching for something to do until the party was over. The piano. I haven't touched it since we moved. My dad got it for me on my 16th birhtday. I sat down on the bench and played a small rift, smiling at myself. Still go it. I decided to play the first song that came to my mind hey little girls by sophie marie. My fingers moved with percision as I hit every note without fail. After I finished I sat there and thought for a moment smiling, feeling proud of myself. It took me a good week to learn that song. Just then I heard movement at my door, it was now open with a familiar face leaning against the frame. the blue eyed girl. wait, I closed my door when I walked in here. I stood up and walked towards her. "what are you doing?" she looked at me and opened her mouth only to close it again looking down, I could see the blush forming on her face. "I, um I-" she let out a sigh "uh, S-Sorry, I was looking for the bathroom and accidently walked in here and then I heard you playing and It was just so good-" her words were rushed as she spoke. I smiled at her reasuringly. "It's okay, The bathrooms that way". I pointed towards the bathroom down the hall. She smiled and nodded thanking me before walking away.

     I shut my door and sat down pulling my phone out to scroll through social media. Not even 5 minutes later I heard a knock on the door. "come in" I yelled out expecting it to be my mom coming to drag me back downstairs. But when the door opened I was met with the same girl that I just got rid of. "do you need something?" I asked, curiously. "It's really boring down there, c-can I uhm, come in?" she hesitated on the last part, looking down again. Her face turning into a cute shade of red once again. "sure, you can sit on that chair over there or on the bed. I don't mind either way". I sat back against my wall while saying this as she walked towards my bed sitting on the end of it. She looked slightly uncomfortable. "so what's your name mystery girl?" she looked at me and smiled. "Ashly, Ashly Mclainy, but your the mystery girl here. Not me." I smiled at her, holding my hand out. " My names Isabelle, Isabelle adams. Its a plessure to properly meet you" she took my hand and shook it, our hands lingering longer the neccessary but as soon as I made eye contact with her she let go and looked away. Watching her blush was becoming my new favorite thing. It could never get old. "So im guessing your parents work at the same company mine do, seeing as your here." She looked at me for a moment debaiting her answer. "My dad does." I wanted to ask about her mom but there was a look of pain or sadness in her eyes that told me not to. We held small conversation like that for a good hour before she got a text from her dad saying they were leaving. "I had fun talking with you" she stated getting ready to get up. I looked at her and smiled. "me too". I was going to leave it at that and let her go but a sudden boost of confidence let me not to. "hey, do you think by any chance I could get your number". She looked at me and blushed for a moment before holding her hand out. I smiled excitedly and handed her my phone after unlocking it. After a moment she handed it back to me. Her finger grazing over my hand lightly. before looking at me directly in the eyes winking and walking out the door. where'd the suddon confidence come from? suddenly I was the one smiling like an idio, blushing. I looked down at my phone. mystery girl the contact name wrote.
