Dating Phobia

Chapter 4 - Gossip

As we sit down at the old splintery table and I start to display all of my maths sheets across the table and as I start pull out my pencil case I notice blue eyes burning at the side of my head.

"What?", I ask very confused until it comes to me he wants to know what happened with Michael.

"So do you want to talk about or not?"

"What's there to talk about! It's nothing, he dates sluts all the time and dumps them like he did me I'm not the first!"

Ok ok chill lil I just wanted to know if your hurting."

"Yes I'm so hurt", I say sarcastically roll my eyes and turn back to my work ignoring his still worried looks. Does he think I'm in middle school and can't get over a break up.

After the maths study and Liam leaves me to watch tv alone in my bedroom. As I'm about to cuddle into my soft clean sheets and relax I hear my phone vibrating on the desk. I hear Sophia's chirpy voice at the end squealing like a little girl who just got a puppy. I am about to ask what has made her so excited when she suddenly starts yelling.

"Lily! Lily! Lily! My 17th birthday is going to be amazing I actually can't wait!", she says in an overly excited tone.

I have completely forgot about Soph's birthday party which I thought would be impossible since she talks about it every day but then again I didn't talk to her for 3 days. Apparently her birthday going to be the bomb she has been so determined to make it amazing since she didn't have a sweet 16th because she was away on holidays in Alaska.

"Shit Soph I completely forgot please tell me it's next Friday not in like 2 days."

"Dude! What the hell ! How can you forget the date of this birthday that's like the biggest day of my day of my life!"

"It's not the biggest day of your life it's just a party and don't worry I'm coming chill I'll probably just leave early?"

"No! Stay till the end I don't want to have it if you aren't there you'll keep me calm and a good hostess."

"Oh please, you'll drink anyway if I'm there or not and there is like 200 people come to this party you want even notice me."

"Yes I will!"

Oh god, I know I'm not going to win this fight I'll just go and disappear when the time is right. I've never liked parties unless there is a few people and at a clean location with good food. I mean what's the point of hanging out with hundreds of people in a house with germ ridden food. Don't even get me started on how we have to dress slutty as possible.

"Chill Sophia Ariel Lockhart I will stay I promise you know I don't like the parties they are so boring and loud and dirty."

"Who cares it's my party and I really want you to be there please. Plus Noah is going to be there", I almost hear a smirk on her face when she says this.

"So, I don't even like him he pisses me off most of the time."

Carrie saw you guys making out after English at the lockers so obviously there's is something happening and she said it seemed pretty hot!"

"Oh that... That was him saving my butt from utter embarrassment from Michael's gang of losers."

"Whatever, see you later babe."

"Bye"

As I put the phone down I try and snuggle up into my sheets I realise how worked up I am about the party. I hurl myself out of my bed and walk up to my stuffed wardrobe filled with worn outfits. Oh this is going to take so long.
