two

when i entered i was struck with a strong scent of roses, my favorite. i feel a little out of place, like, where do i go? how do i talk to people, etc.

i know there's a few people here from other disney shows as well and that i'm supposed to "mingle with everybody"

i walk over to a table and ponder if i should sit down or not, i really don't wanna be here.

i walk around and spot a group of people who i end up having a good conversation with... at first. it was a group of another girl, two guys. pretty sure they were NOT from hsmtmts. it got super weird and i felt really uncomfortable so i left. i won't get in to it just because its kind of irrelevant, but i ended up just walking around, kind of near the edge of the room. i really wasn't looking to talk to any more people.

i sigh and turn into a quiet place near the corner of the venue that was blocked by a long red velvet curtain, to my surprise i am met with a pair of brown eyes.

"oh- im sorry-"

"you're good" the boy says. hes sitting by the window just peering out.

"im josh"

"jules.." i say slowly nodding.

"so- whatcha doin' back here?" he says removing his feet from the ledge, down to the ground so he faces me, i walk closer towards him.

"i could ask you the same thing" he shoots.

"touche" i say nodding while laughing.

honestly from there we just keep talking? for like, hours? and at one point we stole a bunch of shrimp, for fun. i mean we were not even hungry.

"seriously? you're from san diego?" we laugh, "yeah???? where'd you think i was from?"

"i don't know" i laugh. once our laughter dies down we realize that its actually super fucking late and we should have left a while ago. there was barely anyone here.

"oh shit"

"hm?" i murmur after taking a sip of some water that hed brought me from a random table.

"its fucking late, look" the boy exclaims showing me the time on his phone. i stand up from the floor, "oh shit. we probably should have left 20 minutes ago if we didn't wanna get caught on cleaning duty" i say.

"we don't have to"

"what?"

"get caught" he grins and i shoot him a confused look. he rolls his eyes and takes my hand as he leads me through more red velvet curtains that hang around the back of the venue.

"what are you-" he cuts me off shushing me with what i think is his pointer finger but i can't even tell because its so dark. he guides me through what feel like the walls and next thing i know were outside, in the front.

"holy fuck?" i laugh, "thanks?"

"anytime" he laughs too.

"thanks for that" i say pursing my lips after some comfortable silence,

"for what"

"saving my ass. i really didnt wanna go back out there" he scoffs, "of course" theres a moment of comfortable silence before we parted ways, "im this way" i say pointing to the left.

"this way" he points in the opposite direction. "will i ever see you again?" he asks, "who knows" i say and walk away.

"very funny" he yells across the parking lot to me. i smile nodding my head as. i walk up to wrens car and get in.

"whats the smile for?" she asks, "what do you mean" i ask confused. she inhales and shakes her head as she pulls out "alright"

"well did you have a good time?" she questions, "yeah i did- surprisingly" i say thinking back to the brown eyed curly- haired boy i spent most of the evening with.

"well thats good, anything interesting happen"

"no not really"

"alright then" she breathes out. she drops me off at home and i head into the kitchen to get some water to take upstairs. when i get to the kitchen im taken aback by a boy figure standing in front of the refrigerator. i turn on the light.

"wy? i didnt know you were staying here tonight."

"oh yeah, sorry- kinda last minute"

"dont worry about it you're good" he smiles, "so how was the party?" he asks slightly tilting his head as i sit down at the counter.

"honestly it started out rough but it ended up being really fun at the end." he leans on the counter in front of me pouring some orange juice.

"and why is that" he asks in a funny tone.

"i ended up hanging out with this guy, like the whole night- and dont give me that look because it wasn't like that. we both just felt the same way about the party and kinda sat on the sidelines together."

"ahh i see, you like him?"

"no- i mean sure hes cute but- i barely know him."

"yeah true" "so you ended up having a good night?"

"yeah, i did."

"you got home late though?"

"well- yeah- we kinda got hung up talking." he laughs. "classic jules"

"hey!" we laugh a bit.

"well imma head up to bed. nice to talk to you wyatt, see you" he smiles. 

the bond me and wyatt has is honestly really nice, i used to never talk to him because i had a huge crush on him, but i honestly grew out of it a long time ago. now whenever i think about that i get grossed out. 

when i reach my room i change and take off my makeup and head to bed. 

tomorrow, everything changes,
