Weird but Fucking Beautiful

Chapter 12: No Sound

Cassia's pov.

The next day Evie insists that Ronan and I go to a party that she will be going to with Greyson that evening. It's not one of Chris' parties so hopefully, it's a safer bet that we won't have to endure seeing anyone we don't want to. I go over to Ronan's place after school to wait for him. He normally finishes his classes before me on Fridays but he had to take a big test today for one of them.

I decide to change while I wait for him. I was just wearing a sweater and a pair of jeans today which doesn't really scream party. I decided to wear a pink mini skirt that's a little tight and a black bra with a black bralette long-sleeve shirt that's sheer. I wear some black tights and pink ballet flats. I can't wear heels I'll walk around like a newborn deer if I do. I decide to fix up my makeup and straighten my hair. Ronan comes home while I am straightening my hair. He comes into the bathroom and gives me a peck on my cheek.

"You look pretty. Getting ready for the party already? You know it's not for like 2 more hours right?" He asks chuckling a little.

"Yeah well I figured it would be better if you weren't waiting on me. Even if neither of us really wants to go to this party" I say giving him a smile and giggling a little. "Wouldn't want to face the wrath of Evie if we are late"

"We could just say we pulled a card from her deck, y'know, being fashionably late" He quotes with a chuckle. I laugh a little and finish up my hair before turning to him.

"How did your test go?" I ask while giving him a hug. He hugs me back tightly, every hug from him feels like the warmest, safest bear hug imaginable.

"It went good! I wouldn't be so confident if I didn't have such a great study buddy." He says as he leans down and kisses the top of my forehead with a smile. I smile brightly at him. Gosh he is the best. I pull away from the hug after a few more moments.

We end up being slightly late to the party anyways because we got so caught up hanging out and talking. I am pretty sure Ronan is the only person who can make me completely forget about everything for a few minutes. Not even Evie and Luara have that power completely.

I doubt Evie will actually notice though because this party turns out to be a very large crowd with a very small space. Ronan and I mostly hang out at the edge of the crowd so that we aren't overly squished by everyone. I stay really close to him because I hate crowds. Evie comes over to us after about an hour to us being there.

"Hey why aren't you dancing and drinking? Come have some fun!" She says grabbing my hand pulling me away and handing me a cup of what smells like beer in the other hand. I laugh a little looking at Ronan to make sure he is keeping up with us. To my surprise he is.

"Evie I don't wanna drink too much tonight. I don't need a repeat of my first party please" I warn her.

"Of course! Don't worry, I know who I am going home with nowadays so I don't gotta be searching anymore." She reassures with a drunken giggle. After a while of dancing and having fun with Evie in the middle of everything Ronan gently grabs my arm to pull me aside.

"Hey Cass, I am getting a little overwhelmed by the crowd. I think I'll go outside real quick and take a smoke break" he says kissing my cheek.

"Do you need me to come with you?" I ask looking at him a little worried and placing my hand on his arm.

"No, you keep having fun with Evie, I will be back in a bit baby" He says and kisses my cheek.

A while after Ronan decided to exit Evie and I run into Bailey. She is wearing A green top with white lace on the sleeves, with a white lace corset. She has on a green mini skirt with white lace trim and a slit on the side. She has on some white tennis shoes and silver jewelry. She comes over to us right away when she sees us.
