"Dad!" I yelled from outside the house

"Dad!" I yelled from outside the house. He walks outside and sees me in a tree. "What are you doing? Get down!"

"Dad I'm fine. There is a bird up here and it's hurt." I know he rolled his eyes but I didn't care. "Chloe you're gonna hurt yourself. I'll tell Rafe to come help you."

He goes back inside and I get the bird. Rafe walks outside and runs towards the tree. "Chloe it's just a bird you didn't have to climb a tree to get it down."

"Will you just shut up and help me get down?" He helped me get down and I brought the bird inside and washed it off. I took care of it and called a vet and set an appointment.

It's been a few weeks; the vet took care of it and said I could keep it, its name is Tiny.

Me and Tiny are best friends, I hate leaving him while I'm at school. As you could probably tell I don't have many friends, But I do have one friend her name is Kaylee and she has been my friend since the 3rd grade. We've done everything together since we were 8-9 years old. We both play soccer, we signed up for fun when we were little and we have done it ever since.

"Chloe can I borrow your green cardigan?" She asked from inside my closet.

"Sure but you have to give that one back." I said laughing because she takes all of my clothes.

"I have given you everything back that I've borrowed" she said peeking out of the closet. "No you haven't. Where is my pink sweats and my blue skirt?"

"Okay fine you have a point but I promise I'll give it back...someday."

"Yea okay" I said rolling my eyes and laughing because I know she's lying.

"Do you wanna go to a party tonight?" I was a little shocked. We've never been a party before. "What? A party? Are you sure you're Kaylee?" I asked jokingly as I walked towards the closet.

"Yes I'm sure, and I'm serious. We never do anything other teenagers do. All we do is sit in your room and watch movies."

"So I'm not fun to you" I was kinda joking but I was also hurt. "No, of course you're fun. I just wanted to see what it's like to go to a party with my best friend." She grabbed my hands.

"Okay fine but I have to ask my dad even though he won't care." I said as we sat on my bed. "So you'll go?!"

"Yes I'll go but only if you don't leave me alone all night."

"I would never" she tapped my nose.

We got ready and went to the party. "Are you okay? I know you get nervous around crowds." She said as we got out of the car to go into the party.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." We went into the house and I was standing next to a wall. "What do you wanna drink?" I heard Kaylee ask over the loud music.

"Just get me some water...thanks and hurry back." She walked off. I was standing all alone when some guy walked up to me. I could tell he was really drunk because he was slurring his words and stumbling over his own feet. "Hey pretty girl. You here with anyone?" He asked as his arms surrounded me. I couldn't let him know that he was scaring me so I just kept calm and said, "yea I'm with my friend. She is getting drinks."

As I said that he caressed my arm bent down closer to my face. "She wouldn't mind if I took you somewhere quieter would she?"

"I think she'll be back soon so I'm just gonna stay here." He then grabbed my arm and tried to pull me away but some girl punched him in the nose.

"Are you alright?" She asked as I stepped over him and went to sit on the couch with her. "Yeah I'm fine. Thank you."

"No problem. Some guys are just assholes." She said making me giggle. "Yeah. I guess." I said embarrassed.

She took a drink of whatever she had in her cup and held out her hand. "Wanna dance?" She asked standing up.

"S-sure." I've never really danced with anyone before so this could be really bad. "Don't be nervous you'll do great!" She said with a smile on her face.

I took her hand and we walked to the middle of the floor. She started dancing and getting closer to me which gave me a weird feeling in my stomach. I couldn't tell if it was a good feeling or not but I didn't move.

"Come on! Dance!" She tried to scream over the music. "O-okay" I started following her movements and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"Is this okay?" She asked, and I just nodded. I couldn't get the words to come out of my mouth. Why did she make me so nervous.

After we danced I found Kaylee and we got more drinks.
