Hard To Get

Chapter 5 - The Party (Part 1)

Chapter 5

Today was Friday, which means today was Xander's party as well. Juliette and I decided to go. We planned to go to my house first and get ready there. Xander on the hand, kept asking me a while ago if I was going to the party, and everytime I say yes, he would fist pump in the air and squeal like a girl. It made me laugh. But I really don't know what's the big deal of me being there when everyone's going. Tiffany and many other popular and hot girls will be there.

I pulled over my parking spot by the fountain outside my house. Juliette, being the sweet one, greeted all of the maids downstairs. She even played with my dog - Rocky. He's a golden retriever, and pretty big. Anyway, everytime Juliette looks at a maid, she'd give them her sweet smile then pop her dimples. She would also bat her long eyelashes to make her look more like an innocent lady. But in school, when she's really distracted with her studies and you talk to her - she's worst than Chuck Norris wrestling a bear.

An idea of what I should wear popped out of my mind all of a sudden. I went in my walk-in wardrobe and searched for my clothes. Juliette, on the other hand collapsed on my bed and watched Supernatural. She also has her outfit on a paper bag. We dropped by her house before going to mine, then I got to meet her parents. They were just as sweet as her.

I changed into a white Nirvana shirt with a black leather jacket, dark red skinny jeans and combat boots. I braided my hair into a waterfall. Then sprayed my Soap & Glory perfume and headed outside of my wardrobe.

As I got out, I saw Juliette fixing her dress. She looked stunning, like a goddess. Her red hair was down and was pinned to the side. She was wearing a white dress that showed almost half of her back. Her make up was perfect, and her red lips almost matched her red hair.

"Why don't you take a picture so it'll last longer?" She said. "You look cute." She continued.

"You-you look..." I trailed off I was lost in words cause she really looks beautiful "Beyond beautiful." i continued.

"Oh, Mia. I am flattered." She said in her best Brit accent. "Let's go?"

"Yup" I said then grabbed my keys and placed my iphone and wallet in my pockets.

We reached Xander's house - mansion to be specific. As I reached the gate, it opened automatically, just like ours. But before I gor in, a guy knocked on my window which I assumed was for security checking.

"Name please." He had a brit accent and it was so posh in the ears.

"Mia Diarmuid and Juliette Bridges."

"Mianelle Victoria?" He asked scanning through his list. But instead of using a normal list - the ones in a clipboard, he was using an iPad.

"Yup."

"Please do not enter the main door that you'll see ahead. But please park your car beside Sir Alexander's and head to the golden gate across the other 3 cars. And a chauffer will lead you to the main room."

"Will do, thanks."

Juliette was so amused by how everything was under control

"It's so different here." Juliette said.

"I know."

"Everything they use here are electronics, while yours is... vintage." She said then we looked at each other and laughed.

"Okay okay. I guess I have to improve it and help me suggests upgrades."

"Definitely."

I parked beside Xander's car then we got out. And we started walking 'til we reached the golden gate. The chauffer saw us, he pushed a button then the gate was opened.

"Good evening Ms. Diarmuid and Ms. Bridges." He greeted us with a smile

"Good evening." We both said in unison.

"Right this way, ladies.

He led us to a cream-colored hall that had sparkling white chandeliers and an elevator. We headed inside then the chauffer closed the door. It was very quiet that we can hear our shoes clacking on the floor. We went in the elevator and went up.

As it opened, there it was. The party. A cold air condition swept through our bodies, and the music already made me jump. They were only a few people who were there. Maybe 20-25 people, maybe.

We took a step in. My eyes searched the room and I formed a huge grin. It was perfect. I guess Xander can really handle a big ass party.

This night, is going to be a badass night.
