"it's new years eve for christ sake! of course we have to go!" caleb said.

my friend caleb loved to party, especially on new years eve. i couldn't deny that the fireworks were pretty even though i'm scared to the bone of them.

we do this every year, it's like a tradition. first, caleb has to literally force me into this because i know exactly how it all will end, he will get so pissed i've got to drag him home. after he forced me into this party that i should have learned every year is a terrible idea. we pretty much get drunk and then have to kiss each other by the time the clock turns 12. it's pretty ridiculous since we've known each other since middle school. we are almost like siblings, it's gross when we kiss.

"i don't know." i said as i shook my head.

"c'mon faye," he begged, "it'll be fun!"

since we had been arguing about this for over an hour i finally gave in. "alright, but one condition! you'll find someone else to kiss!"

"and so goes for you." he added.

"sure, it'll be fun not kissing my best friend for once."

"oh my god yes, okay come now!" he cheered victoriously.

i rolled off the bed and ruffled his light hair as i past him to walk to my wardrobe. i searched for something to wear and groaned loudly. "why do we always plan everything in last minute? i have nothing to wear!"

"it's not my fault you're so stubborn and gives in the same day. just wear what you wore last year, that was hot."

"not enough to seduce a boy to kiss me." i sighed, sitting down on the floor and looking up at my clothes. "i'm gonna cry."

"don't cry." he said and walked over to me, "we'll fix it."

i wiped under my eyes and laughed at myself. it wasn't that i was sad or anything, i was just stressed because i had so many things to do. since me and caleb weren't 20 yet we couldn't buy alcohol and had to find another way to bring something, that usually took a while. then we had to choose outfits and i'm really picky which will take even more time.

"i'm just stressing." i said and stood up, "do you still got your fake-id?" i asked him.

"yeah."

i sighed in relief, "okay good. uhm, you'll go and buy everything that and then we'll go buy me a dress or something."

he nodded, "let's go then."

"i can't really go in my pajamas." i smiled, walking over to choose something to wear.

"oh god." he sighed.

i ended up with a plain t-shirt that was slightly tucked under a pair of ripped jeans after angrily throwing clothes all over my room. i didn't have a lot of clothes and most of them were either too big or too small. it was hard finding a matching outfit.

"i've got it" he said gladly, flashing me a big smile as he came out of the liquor-store with two bags raised in the air.

"great!" i piped up, clapping my hands together. "now let's go find me something nice!"

"girls." was all he said as he shook his head.

"breaking hearts!" i sang and he rolled his eyes.

"do you still have a crush on that dude?"

"of course, it's matty healy." i said obvious, "and he's not just a dude!"

"whatever. you wanna go in here?" caleb asked as he pointed at a store.
