New Girl in Town

Chapter seventeen

Elisabeth (Fri, Oct 10)

  I was beyond surprised when Kate told me she was going to be visiting us this weekend. She said school was stressing her out and so she needed some time to relax and have fun. Our other friends were busier than expected, and they didn't have time to go out almost at all, which upset her, not waiting to see her life go this downhill on her first year of high school.

  I on the other hand was having the time of my life, as much as I hated to admit it. I'd go out with the boys almost every day and spend nights at their house weekly. I honestly felt bad for Kate but was incredibly happy to finally see her again after a month.

  "Kate! I've missed you so much!", I said, running to her as tears were falling down my cheeks. I hadn't seen this girl in only a month, yet it felt like years had passed. She opened her arms, waiting for me to fall into her arms.

  "I see you've been well here without me...", she said, smirking at me and looking at the boys. "Especially this one has been making you feel amazing", she continued, pointing to Elijah. I blushed, feeling too shy to speak. Was she thinking about that same thing, again? Because if she was...she honestly deserved to be called a horny bitch at that moment.

  Soon, Elijah and Patrick approached us, asking Kate about how her trip went, etc., but I could see that her mind was off somewhere else.

  "Is something bothering you?", I asked her, unsure of what she was thinking of.

   "Uh...nothing important, really. But, oh! I totally forgot to ask, are you feeling any better? I see you can finally walk and run again!", she said, smiling at me. It was true, my condition had improved quite quickly. But, as for the bruises, they were still there. They had started fading, but were still very visible, and could probably scare someone if they saw them. "Okay now, everyone, go back to your houses and put on your best clothes. We're partying tonight!", she said, as if we had never done that before. I still remember the last party I'd gone to. It was her goodbye party, a month ago. I swear this girl was living her life to the fullest.

  I was walking around my room, unable to think of what to wear. There were so many nice clothes inside my wardrobe, but I just couldn't think what was...the best outfit. I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

  "It's open", I said, seeing Kate as she opened the door.

  "Unable to find the perfect outfit once again?", she asked, knowing I'd say yes. She gently pushed me away, making sure I wouldn't fall, and started scanning my clothes. Looking, and looking, and looking...until she finally found something! "This one, girl. This one is the perfect dress for tonight", she said excitedly, handing me the piece of clothing. The dress was very long, so long that I'd need to wear high heels in order to keep me from tripping. It was dark blue, the color of the night sky, with glitter all over it. I had in fact never worn this one before, thinking it was 'too much' for me, but yet I kept it. Maybe it was meant to be worn today.

  "By the way, take these with you, too", she said, showing me my pajamas. "We'll be staying at the twin's house tonight", she continued, and I obeyed her. Guess tonight was going to be a crazy night.

  "Now turn left. There it is, you see? That's it! I suggest you park it here, it's the only parking spot available", Kate told Patrick, as if he didn't know where we were. Tonight's party was going to be held at one of the most popular cafe/bar in the city. Kate had begged us to go here the last time we partied together, but we all agreed that it was best to do it somewhere else.

  The place was crowded. So many people dancing, drinking, enjoying the night as if there was no tomorrow. Kate quickly grabbed Patrick by his hand and ran to the stage to dance, along with the other people there. Elijah and I decided to just sit and order something to drink.
