Tate McRae - That Way:
'We say we're friends but I'm catching you across the room. It makes no sense 'cause we're fighting over what we do and there's no way that I'll end up being with you. But friends don't look at friends that way'

Noelle didn't know if it was the particular wine that her best friend had brought over or the fact that she had just cured a massive hangover, but she felt the hazy state return after she finished only her second glass of wine. "Let me get dressed. I'm not really sure if I like the outfit I picked so you have to be honest, okay?" She said when she tried to get up from the ground where they had been sitting doing their makeup for the past hour. Noelle almost tripped over her own feet and the girls laughed loudly when she could just about prevent herself from falling face-first on her bed. She made her way into the bathroom where she got dressed into the pieces of clothing she had chosen earlier that day.

"Yes, this looks gorgeous on you!" Sophie said when Noelle emerged from her bathroom in a lavender off-the-shoulder top and her cheetah print high waisted pants. She had paired it with white heeled sandals and some gold jewellery to finish off the look. The top showed off a bit of her cleavage.'Not that there was much, to begin with, but you get the picture.' She thought and she felt pretty confident when she saw her friend clap her hands at her appearance. She smiled at the brunette girl while holding up her hands in a v-shape to her tilted face before she spun around to the music that had been playing in her room. Girls night was the best night of the week.

Sophie was dressed in a dark blue short dress, with thigh-high boots and the girls walked over to the mirror, admiring their own looks while complimenting each other. "Gabriel is definitely going to want to talk to you when he sees you in that dress, ma chérie". Noelle said and she suggested taking some photos before they would head to the club in a bit. The lighting was gorgeous at this time of the evening, the sun just setting in the background and a golden glow spread over Noelle's face when her best friend took some pictures of her look. "Look at this one, you look like a freaking model!" Sophie said, showing her phone to Noelle, making her jump up and down enthusiastically.

Even though the club wasn't that far from Noelle's apartment, the girls had decided to take an Uber there so their feet wouldn't be sore from their heels by the time they arrived. After only a short drive, the car pulled up at the entrance making the girls thank the driver and step out before linking their arms together to make their way inside the club. There were a lot of people inside already, the bass of the music flowing through their bodies when the best friends walked over to the bar. They needed to get a drink before they would head to the dance floor.

While they waited for their drink, Sophie let her eyes roam through the crowd and Noelle knew she was trying to spot Gabriel and his friends. The girl had been infatuated with this boy from a distance for months now and although she hadn't made any move yet, Noelle had noticed him staring at the brunette girl quite a few times before. "Oh my god, there he is.." She suddenly heard her friend say and Noelle giggled after she realised she was right. "Come on, let's go dance!" She said before she took her drink in one hand and her friend's arm in the other, pulling Sophie through the crowd.
