River Creek High

Chapter 9- Typical Highschool Drama

Aubrey POV:

"Which scarf?" Lolli asks. 

"That one," I say pointing to the scarf on the left. My twin utters a quick thanks. 

A high school party is no joke.  Especially this one.

* * * * *

"Oh my gosh!" I exclaim. Our high school has been completely decorated. It looks awesome. The gym is the dance floor, the cafeteria is he game room, and the halls are filled with food stalls.

Connor and I have become closer friends over the past month. I have to admit, that he is not the jock (read: jerk) that most people think he is. He is actually very sweet and caring. Theo asked Lolli to be his date to the dance and she accepted almost immediately. The two of them are so close and they are such good friends and they have a perfect relationship. I wish I can find someone like that.

Lolli POV:

"Do you want to dance?" Theo asks. I nod. We walk into the gym, holding hands. 

Theo leans down to my ear and asks, "What is your favorite song?" 

"Dance monkey," I reply. Theo walks over to the DJ and the thing I know is that my favorite song is playing on the speakers. Theo walks over with a huge grin on his face and we start dancing with the rest of the people in the gym. 

* * * *

I laugh at the joke that Theo just told me. I hear loud footsteps so I turn in that direction. I see Aubrey running out of a classroom, with tears streaming down her face. Harper and Silas are running behind her with Abbie on their heels. 

"What is going on?" I ask Theo. He shrugs, but there is a worried expression on his face. Theo and I go into the classroom that Bree ran out of to find out what happened.

"Bree never cries," I direct it to Theo, but say it loud enough that everyone in the room can hear. Connor is glaring at Belle who is smirking. There are jocks and girly-girls standing behind them.

"What did you do?" I ask no one in particular. 

"I made sure that the brat got what she deserved," Belle grins. Then she leaves the room with her gang and Connor walks out the other way, clearly mad. The jocks follow him out the door, and I am left with more questions than answers. 

Me and Theo exit the hallway and I gasp at what I see. Abbie and Luca are kissing. They both pull away as they notice us and Abbie grins sheepishly. 

"This is a new thing," Luca says. I have a feeling that this started because of the spin the bottle game. One of the basketball players on Luca's team thankfully calls my brother away. Now I can ask Abbie what's going on but Theo beats me to it.

"What happened?" he asks.

"I don't think I should be the one to tell you," Abbie says. "But all I know is that Bree, Harper, and Silas couldn't go to Harpers apartment because her mom isn't home yet. And they couldn't go to the White family house because Luca and your parents would find out. So, they went to Silas's place."

"Lets go," I tell Theo and he nods. We then start running toward my cousins house which is luckily only 3 blocks away.
