The Admirer

I went over to Gwen's with 3 dresses, 4 heels, my bag of makeup, a curling iron, and some stuff for my hair.

Her place is huge. It's only 2 stories but it's got a lot of windows and it's very wide so it definitely looks huge.

I ring her doorbell and the tall door immediately swings open

"I thought you were never coming!"
She brings me inside to her living room and I set down my stuff on her couch.

"Ok I have a plan of attack"
Gwen says and I laugh

"Go for it"

"You should invite Peter"
She says crossing her arms

I sit down on her coach with a sigh
"Everyone has been on me about Peter. We're just friends"

"Ok whatever- I know you like him. Whatever you are friends, talking, coworkers, whatever! You should still invite him"
She sits down on the floor and I start to put up an argument so she says
"Call him! Come on you have nothing to lose. We are even drinking so you can't embarrass yourself. And you're gonna look hot. You have nothing to lose"

She has a point
"I hate that your right"

I slide down on the floor with her and open my contacts and call Peter. I put it on speaker as it rings

"Hello?"
He says

"Hi Peter. My friend is throwing a party and im helping her-"
I start to ramble so Gwen nudges me

"Long story short- Do you wanna come to a party?"
"You and Ned.. and any of your friends can come.. too"

"Uh- a party?"
His voice goes all squeaky

"Yeah- you don't have to come but I'd really like.. you'd to.."

I hear Ned's voice in the back and I immediately wish I'd never even called

"Um let me ask my aunt.. I'll get back to you on that."

He hang up burry my face in my hands
"I hate everything about that! It was so awkward!"

"Well. It's his loss if he doesn't come. But it's an two hours to the party and I gotta get you ready so.."

She puts on a movie and curls my hair then pinned the front pieces back with a little bow.

She was about to do my makeup when I was looking at my dresses

"These are all way too fancy.."
I say and Gwen looks at my dresses laying on the couch

"Yeah kinda.."
She chuckles

I groan
"What do I do!"

"Here I'll take you to my room. We seem the same size. Just pick something of mine"
She says

So we go  upstairs into her very aesthetic bedroom

"Just look at the stuff in my closet. I'll be downstairs"
She walks out of the room and I look at her clothes

But as I'm looking I get a call from Betty

"Hey Betty "
I say

"You're having a party?"
She asks in a harsh tone

"I'm not having a party. Gwen is. You can come I thought she sent invites out to like the whole school"
I say nonchalantly even though I feel deep down that Gwen only sent invites out to her friends/people she knows

"I'll send you the address. Bring the others too if you want. But I gotta go"
I hang up

I let out a breathe. I really did not want to deal with that.
