Chapter 5

Belle’s POV

The week flew past quite quickly, Harmony seemed a bit distant the whole week though and I never really had time to talk to her that with exams coming up soon before Christmas break. The group of us were gathered around a table in the foyer after school and talking about our plans for tonight.

“I was just going to study truthfully.” Luke says, of course, he’s always been a bit of a nerd.

“Dude. Its Friday night, you got to get out man!” Kaiden says, nudging his arm. The rest of us laugh.

“We could always just go to my house.” I say, that’s always our last resort. The group groans, “Okay okay, I guess not.”

“Tyler’s having a party.” Jackson says. Everyone pipes up at his idea. My stomach immediately feels sick.

“But… Tyler…” I mumble.

“Belle, it’ll be fine! We will all be there, don’t worry.” Blaine said.

“You were all there last time!” last time… oh my god. Worst night ever. I had gotten really drunk and Tyler came up and started grinding on me, since I was drunk, I didn’t really comprehend what was happening or how disgusting Tyler is, went along with it, he took me up to his bedroom, and I threw up all over him. Ever since then there had been rumours I had sex with him when really all I did was vomit all over him and his bedroom. Eventually the rumours died down but I couldn’t let that happen again. Still Tyler hits on me though, all the time. So, I was definitely not up for going.

“Belle, I’ll be by your side the whole time. Don’t worry.” That made me get butterflies, he sounded so protective. I loved it… No. No you didn’t Belle. Jesus.

“Ugh. Fine I’ll go.” I gave in.

“Yay! Party tonight! Jackson what time does the party start?” Harmony asked.

“It’s 3:30 right now, so 3 and a half hours, yeah.”

“Sweet! K see you guys there! Come on babe.” Harmony held Kaiden’s hand and they left the school.

“Awesome, Blaine can you drive me home?” I asked.

“For sure, see you guys tonight.” The 2 of us got up and left the rest of the guys there. Blaine dropped me off and I started to get ready for the party.

Blaine’s POV

Belle said to pick her up at 6:30 so I arrived at her house right then and rang the doorbell. Belle’s mom answered and ushered me into the house. She told me Belle was upstairs so I ran up to her room and knocked on the door. The only reply was a “URGH!” so I just walked in to find Belle in a robe surrounded by every piece of clothing she owned.

“Woah! What the hell happened in here? Your closet explode?”

“Shut up! I can’t find anything to wear!” she screeched.

“By the looks of it you have a ton to wear.” I smiled sarcastically. She just scowled at me as she picked up another dress from her floor before sighing and throwing it back down. “Here, let me help you.”

“Please! Ugh I have way too many clothes.”

“I can second that. Look at all this shit.” I picked up a blue and pink top with ruffles and sequins all over it. “What the fuck is this? It looks like a drag queen and cotton candy had a baby.”

“That’s my Dolce and Gabbana swimsuit cover up! Give it!” She snatched it away from my hands.

“Okay okay sorry!” I looked at the monstrous pile of clothing. “How about this?” I held up a purple tight fitted dress. I had seen Belle wear it once and she looked perfect in it. She just gave me a ‘Are you serious?’ look.

“I hate that dress! It looks horrible on me.” She replied.

“I didn’t think so…” I said without thinking.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“Okay then. Now help me! I want something that’s like sexy but casual. And cute, but sophisticated.” She said.

“What the hell does that mean?”

“You’re impossible.”

“You’re the impossible one! How hard is it to find a clean shirt and pants?”

“You’re a guy who wouldn’t understand.”

“Exactly I don’t understand!” I laughed.

“Just help me find something!”

“What’s the magic word?”

“What?” she looked at me like I was crazy.

“You know, the magic word.”

“Blaine, I’m not a baby.”

“Manners don’t come with age. Age comes with manners.” I explained all smart-like.

“You are such an idiot.”

“I still haven’t heard the magic word!”

“Fine. Please!”

“Please what?” I smirked.

“Oh, my god Blaine! Please can you help me look for an outfit?” she finally gave in.

“All you had to do was ask. No need for yelling.” Belle just laughed and rolled her eyes. Her laugh was so cute. Finally within 15 minutes we finally found an outfit. I left the room so she could change and eventually she came out. We had picked a flowy white top tucked into a black high low skirt. She had a black pair of high heels on so she was an inch taller. She looked gorgeous. Was it bad I wanted to kiss her? But I can’t. Just friends I reminded myself. Friends.

“You look gorge-great. You look great.” I caught myself.

“Uhh, thanks?” she laughed awkwardly.

“Well better get going then?”

“Yeah let’s go.”

Belle’s POV

Blaine trying to help me find an outfit was so cute. It was fun but hard to keep myself from wanting to kiss him. And he had dressed up nice for the party. And he smelt amazing. But I was super nervous for this party. Tyler had always hit on me and tried to get my attention. At one of the last parties he had come up to me and started grinding on me. I was dating a guy at the time so I had turned around and slapped Tyler cross the face. He hasn’t bothered me since then but I was still unsure of how this was going to go.
