# in between — gracie abrams :
" i just can't come between them,
they got their own thing. "kayleigh was getting ready for the party, sitting at her vanity mirror. she put on a dress she had saved specially for the party, she picked it out with ari and xochitl. "are you ready?" xochitl walked into her room, "aww, you tryna get all pretty pretty for dylan?" she teased.
"shut up," she chuckled. "i'm ready though." she stood up, looking in the mirror for the last time.
"let's go." xochitl said, exiting her room, kay followed behind her.
"ooh, you look pretty." ari said, standing at the bottom of the stairs.
kayleigh smiled, "thanks, you guys do too." she told them.
"okay, enough talking let's go." xochitl said, grabbing her keys then heading to the car. she got into the drivers seat and buckled her seatbelt, "you guys know what we have to do." she smiled, turning on the car. they both nodded, a big smile on their faces as they watched xochitl turn on sabrina carpenter.
once they got to the party, they were greeted with the loud noise of people cheering, probably playing alcohol related games, along with the loud music blasting in their ears. kayleigh turned around to face her friends, "i'm gonna find malachi," she told them, they nodded.
she made her way through the crowds of people, passing the expected beer games, and shots and stuff. but she never found malachi, giving up she went over to the table of drinks, maybe he hadn't made it yet.
she sat there for a few minutes before deciding to find ariana and xochitl, "there you are!" she heard a familiar voice behind her, a big smile spread across her face, expecting to see malachi when she turned around, but it was dylan.
"hi!" she still smiled excitedly, even though she was looking for someone else. she was just trying to keep her promise to stay with malachi the whole day.
"you made it." he smiled, she was expecting a hug or something so she held out her arms a bit but he looked confused so she just dropped them by her sides, embarrassed. he was holding a red a cup in his hands, she assumed it was alcohol, was he drinking? she didn't like drinkers.
"yup." she chuckled, "hey, i'll catch you later i was trying to find my friend." she told him.
"malachi?"
"yeah, have you seen him?" she asked.
"no." he said, firmly. "want a drink?" he asked, grabbing a plastic cup from the drink table not too far from her.
"oh.. no thanks. i don't drink." she chuckled, watching as he poured the alcohol into the cup.
"come onnnn, it's only a little bit." he said, holding the cup in front of her.
