"What are you wearing? And what are you doing with your hair?" Claire demanded the second I stepped foot into her room.

"Hello to you too," I laughed, joining her on her bed.

"I'm serious, Stassie! I love date nights," She cheered.

"Then why don't you ask Gibsie on one?" I teased.

Claire's face turned red and she glared at me, "Maybe one day."

"On a real note, I have no idea what I'm wearing, I just brought over a ton of different options, and I might even raid your wardrobe," I explained, "As for my hair, I was thinking loose curls."

"This is perfect! I love getting people ready for things," Claire squealed immediately grabbing my bag and riffling through it.

Grabbing a handful of clothes out of my bag Claire asked me, "are you going to the party at Patrick's on Friday?"

"Duh. I'd never miss a party," I chuckled, before my smile faded and I frowned, "do you think Shan will be there?"

"Apparently. She's healed up well since last time we saw her. She's obviously still traumatized but she's honestly glowing compared to before," Claire grinned.

"I'm so glad! It'll be nice to have the girls all together again," I clapped, "Liz is going right?"

"Yeah, which I'm sure will be a disaster because Katie's going too," Claire rolled her eyes.

"Oh my god, chaos. Whatever though, I live for the drama," I shrugged, watching Claire piece together an outfit for me.

"It's going to be bad. I don't know what it is but recently I feel like Liz and Hugh are flirting," Claire frowned before gesturing to the seat that was now in front of her mirror, "sit down."

Getting up from Claire's bed, I plopped into the chair, "Really? Even though he's been with Katie for awhile now?"

"Yeah. I mean maybe not straight up flirting but it's definitely suspicious, but I'm not surprised considering Liz has clearly never gotten over him," Claire sighed, starting to brush my hair.

"Yeah. I wish she'd tell us what exactly went wrong between the two of them," I frowned.

Lizzie and Hughie had apparently liked each other since primary school, long before I knew them, and they had even began dating.

Until they broke up.
The pair kept the reasons behind the break up pretty much top secret but they were always hot and cold.

One minute Lizzie hated him, the next he was all she wanted.

Those two gave me whiplash.

I felt terrible for Katie, I couldn't imagine having my boyfriend be so close to an ex.
Especially an ex as complicated as Lizzie.

"Hopefully there's not a big blow up," Claire mumbled, now grabbing a section of my hair to curl.

"If there is we can leave," I assured her, "I'm so down to leave and just hangout with you."

She beamed at me through the mirror, "I love you."

"I love you too," I winked.

"I've missed you at school," Claire frowned, "it's not the same without you, or Gerard."

"I've missed you too! At least tomorrow is Thursday, so you've only got two more days of school without me," I grinned.

"What have you been getting up to with this time off?" Claire asked, focusing on my hair.

"Mostly hanging out at Johnnys with him and Gibsie. I think we've officially driven Edel crazy," I giggled.

"I can imagine," Claire snorted.

"What am I wearing?" I questioned.

"The denim skirt with the little yellow top," Claire pointed to the outfit she had laid out.

"It's so cute! Let me put the top on, so it doesn't fuck up my hair later," I smiled, reaching to grab the shirt.

I yanked my t-shirt over my head, careful not to mess up the curls Claire had already done, revealing my white lacy bra.

"Big plans?" Claire teased, obviously talking about my bra choice.

"No! Well I mean," I smirked, "maybe a few."

"Is he cleared to bang yet?" She snorted.

"No, unfortunately not," I groaned, "but hopefully soon."

It had been over a month of being Johnnys girlfriend and we had yet to have sex. It's not that I was driven by sex or anything, but having a boyfriend that looked like Johnny, made it hard to not think about.

Don't get me wrong, he'd been very helpful in pleasing me.

But I wanted to please him.

"So when his dick is healed, you'll be ready?" She raised her eyebrows.

I pulled the yellow top over my head and gave her a cheeky grin, "I've been ready since our first date."

"When you do it, you have to give me all the details," She squealed, returning to curling the rest of my hair.

"I will," I smirked.

Once she had finished my hair, I threw on the rest of my outfit.

"You look gorgeous," Claire chirped, "I'd die to be you."

"Please, you're a goddess," I smiled, pulling my blonde best friend into a tight hug.

I wasn't lying.
Claire was beautiful.
Not just her looks but also her personality.

Although, her looks were off the charts. I was surprised more men didn't fall at her feet. It was no wonder Gibsie was practically on a leash for the girl.

"Johnnys here," I squealed.

"Oh my god! Have so much fun," Claire joined in squealing, "Tell me everything!"

Making my way to her bedroom door I grinned before blowing her a kiss and saying, "bye babe!"

And then I headed outside to see Johnny.

I love dates.
