Before the Storm [writing]

seven| party

"Can you believe we've been in Crampton for two months and still haven't gone to a single party?" Cade said to me as I chuckled.

He's always been over dramatic.

"You haven't been to a party. I have."

"And you didn't bring me? What kind of sister are you?" He questioned with a frown causing me to roll my eyes at him while walking up the stairs.

I don't think he'd be interested in my kind of party. Especially since it involves getting high and drinking like a fish after a fight. Not my proudest moment but definitely one for the books. I like partying with the reckless, there's always someone ready to throw hands or start some shit.

Last time, this girl - who's boyfriend had lost the fight - decided to go up to his rival and make a move. They ended up hooking up in the bathroom and when her boyfriend found out, he went berserk. He and the other dude got in a fight during my beer pong game - which made me lose. They fought until the security broke them up because they were both practically pissing blood from their faces. It was wild.

Anywho, as much as Cade likes to party, he'd hate it.

"Antonio Pereira's throwing a party tonight, if you wanna come." I told him as we entered my room.

"He's a senior, right?"

"It's an open house. You could invite Micah, Zeke and Adriano if you want. I doubt Blake will want to come."

"Adriano, huh?" Cade said with a smirk causing me to glare harshly at him. Yes Adriano, so what?

"You like him, don't you?" My younger brother asked causing me to flip him off and shoo him out of my room, annoyed at his antics.

I've never liked someone before, I always found people attractive but never to the point of developing a crush. Unless you count Can Yaman... that man could do unspeakable things to my body and I would let him. Doesn't help that he's the fan cast of my favourite book character - Cassian.

So not the point right now.

"You can't lie to me, Rea!" Cade shouted through my closed door while I scoffed in disbelief.

"Watch me." I mumbled, opening my closet to find something to wear to the party. I wasn't going to dress provocative like I usually did when I went to Viper Den but I'd still like to turn heads.

Or maybe one head in particular.

Shut up!

"You can't ignore me forever! Give me attention, Andrea!" Cade pleaded, banging on my bedroom door as I sighed lowly.

Bless whoever ends up with this fool because he dead ass needs attention all the goddamn time. At any minute of the day he's asking for attention. Or for someone to hug him. Or for someone to hold his hand. Last time he wanted me to keep my hand on his shoulder while he played whatever game he was playing. He said it helped him concentrate.

His love language is definitely physical touch.

"If I open this door, do you promise not to mention Adriano or anything related to him?"

"Yes ma'am."

Nodding, I opened the door as he had a shit-eating grin plastered on his face. Rolling my eyes, I watched him walk back inside of my room and plopping his body on my unmade bed.

Annoying ass.

"Why can't you bother Blake or something? He's your twin." I said while taking a seat next to him.

"Blake is talking with his boy friend."

"Why'd you say it like that? And who? Since when?" I started firing the questions with a sudden interest.

Blake has had crushes before but he's never acted upon them, meaning he's never had a relationship with another boy. At least, not to my knowledge.

"Micah, dumbass. Who else would it be?"

Without a second thought, I sent a pillow straight into Cade's face as he fell backwards from my bed. I didn't even care to ask him if he was alright, he's been dropped on his head so many times it doesn't hurt anymore.

"You suck." He said with annoyance while standing back up and glaring at me as if he was scary. I practically invented the whole glaring and scowling thing.

"Get out. I need-"
"Hello?"

Cade answered his phone while putting a finger up to shush me. I just know he didn't stop me from talking like I was one of his little friends.

"Oh, Adriano! How are you? Sorry, I didn't recognize the number." He said before squealing when I twisted his arm behind his back.

"No no no no, I'm good. What's up, man?"
"You heard about the party? When? You don't even like parties."

Adriano knows about the party? That's interesting. I didn't think it was his scene.

"Why do you wanna know if my sister is going?" Cade question with a smirk while making kissing face at me.

Rolling my eyes, I pushed him out of my room and closed the door on his face. I could not be bothered with him right now.

If Adriano is coming to the party, I have to wear something that'll make him flustered from wanting me... calm down Andrea, you don't even know if he sees you like that.

Looking through my closet was like looking through a time capsule. I forgot I even had half of the shit that was on the hangers since I mostly wear the same things; Band T's, jeans, leather jacket and sometimes gym clothes. There's no point in having twenty million piece of clothing if I don't wear it every time, I'll never get back my moneys worth.

"Adriano's coming tonight."

I wish.

Oh my fucking god! Stop it! You need to get laid, soon. This is getting out of control, Andy.

Tell me about it.

"Fuck off."

"He's also coming over in 10."

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
