Chapter two
Chase's Party
Penny's POV:
Matt, Eli, and Klitz were currently at my house. "You guys aren't gonna go?" I asked. "No way. We don't go to parties." Eli said from above me. I currently had my head in his lap while my legs rested on Klitz's lap. "But, it's Chase's party! You guys are practically invited!" Matt looked up from his homework and said "really?" "All I have to do is look at him like this and say 'they're my friends, baby. Can't they party too?'" I pursed my lips and pouted. Klitz and Eli's eyes immediately went to me and I giggled. "He'll turn into mush and then you guys will be able to get your party on." Klitz gulped and said "it's probably better if we stay here. We'd drag you down. Socially." I sat up and said "I don't care about that. You guys are my friends. I want you there. Please, Klitzy?" I made puppy dog eyes and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Fine. I can't really say no to you." He mumbled. "Yay!" I wrapped my arms around Klitz's neck, hugging him. Klitz froze as I moved around in his lap. He then awkwardly patted my hip. "You swear your boyfriend isn't going to get mad?" Eli asked. I shrugged and said "so, what if he does. I don't care." "I don't want my ass kicked or a wedgie." "That's not gonna happen." "What time is the party?" Klitz said. "8:00." "And it's on Saturday?" I nodded and Klitz sighed. "We don't have to dress up or anything right?" Eli said. I shook my head and said "no. It's not a costume party. Halloween passed." Eli rolled his eyes and said "duh!" "Guys, I think we'll have fun. We never do anything." Matt said to his friends. Klitz looked at him and said "in case you forgot I'm trying to get into Yale." "So am I." I said. "Wait, you wanna go to Yale too?" "Well, I don't want to go to Georgetown and Eli isn't going to college. Looks like we're going to Yale." "What about Chase?" "What about him?" "Aren't you guys going to be a happy couple and go to college together?" Klitz snapped. I cleared my throat and said "as of right now, no. And he's going to get into some fancy college on a sports scholarship. I actually have to work for it." "So do I." "I know, Klitz but you're so smart it'll be a breeze for you." "I'll help you." I smiled at him and Eli said "ugh, enough about college! We need to make sure we look good at this party."

The week was going by surprisingly fast. Friday was here and all anyone could talk about was the party at Chase's house. "Are you gonna ride with us to Chase's?" Klitz asked me. I looked at him and said "should I?" "Uh, yeah." "Why?" "Cause what if he doesn't let us in." "Ugh, Klitz I already told him you guys were coming." "That's new." Klitz's eyes went to the skirt I had on. "I just got it yesterday. Well, Chase gave me the money but yeah." "It's cool. I like it." He said. "Thanks, Klitzy." His cheeks turned red and Chase came over. "Hey, babe." I stood up and gave Chase a kiss. "And uh...Klitz." Klitz nodded to Chase and said "hey." "I'm glad you're coming to the party tomorrow. A nerd like you will have fun." I hit Chase's arm and said "don't." "Don't what?" "He's not a nerd." Klitz sighed and I knew he was used to this but just because he was used to it didn't mean my boyfriend could say it. "I didn't mean that in a rude way." Chase said. "It's fine." Klitz replied. Chase's hands went to my hips and I pushed his hands off. "I'll see you tomorrow?" Klitz nodded and said "yeah, Pen." I gave him a hug before going off with Chase to his car.
