Andria Alexandra Hills
How much more fancier can a name get, am I right? But anyway Andria, or as I like to call her Alex, is one of the best people I have met in my life. In fact she is my best friend. She makes me smile on some of my worst days and makes me feel better when I doubt myself. She is just amazing and I feel incredibly lucky to have her in my life. Although we are best friends you can probably already tell that I made the most idiotic mistake anyone can make..... I fell in love with her. I feel so stupid, there I go making an amazing friendship and then I have to ruin it with feelings?!? Really?!? Ever since I discovered these feelings and tried to get rid of them: its only gotten worse. Alex and Andrew, I wish. She is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last at night.

We had a week until Halloween which was Alex's favorite holiday and she still didn't know what she wanted to be. So we went shopping.
"What about this." She pulled out a leather cat suit that was so tight I'm pretty sure she would have passed out by trying to put it on.
"Too slutty." I answered.
"Rude, but points for being honest. Okay I will figure out mine later, lets focus on you for now." She said.
"Oh, I'm not dressing up."
"What?!? Why?!?"
"It just feels to childish."
"You are four-teen years old, you ARE a child."
"No, I'm a teen, it's in the word four-teen."
"Smart-ass." she whispered under her breath. "Come on please, have some spirit on my favorite holiday please."
She looked at me with her large eyes, they looked like they had galaxies beyond our imagination in them.
"Fine." I sighed. I thought of how much of a wuss I was to myself I couldn't even say no to her.
We got a couples costume, even though we weren't a couple, but she insisted it. When she told me about the couples idea I felt so happy and warm on the inside. I realized I was blushing so I ran off and said I would go find a costume as an excuse. We both agreed on Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse. Classic.
Monday October, 26
Everyone at school was bragging about there costumes, and how cool they would be. When Alex told her friends she was doing a couple costume with me they looked a little uninterested. I wasn't surprised an amazing girl like Alex twinning with me, I was the luckiest guy in the world. I couldn't stop thinking about her and me, us together. As best friends of course. just as I was starting to blush Alex came over and sat on my desk.
"So, I was thinking instead of wearing the masks we got we should just paint our faces."
"Why?" I asked.
"So they could see our faces dummy."
"Yeah but are sure you want to be seen with me. What if we run into some people you know. They might think you're weird."
"Exactly you dork. I am weird and you are gonna be weird with me." She said with a smile. "So we will just paint a nose and whisk-"
"Excuse me students pardon this interruption." The principal was speaking "As you all know we had a vote on our school Halloween party and here are the results...."
Everyone in class started patting on their knees to sound like a drumroll. I looked over to see Alex doing it the loudest.
"There was a 13 percent 'no' and 87 percent 'yes' vote! Looks like we are having a party!"
The whole class started cheering but I just sat there, me and parties have our own history and everyone knows about it. I haven't gone to a party since "The Sparkle Incident" and I didn't plan on going now. I was for sure skipping it, until I looked over to see Alex with biggest smile one her face. From ear to ear.
"No." I said immediately.
"Yes." She fired back.
"Noooo."
"Oh, yes" She said. "Come on I still don't understand anything that could make you scared of parties. There is no reasonable explanation for that. Parties are great! Pleeeeaaassssee. If we don't that whole costume would be a waste!"
Alex had heard about "The Sparkle Incident" but wasn't actually there for it, she was sick. She wouldn't stop bothering me about it. Nothing would stop her, besides.....maybe a reasonable explanation. I really don't want to tell her but maybe it will force her to give up on making me go to this stupid party.
"Alex......If I tell you what made me so scared of parties do you promise not to tell anyone? I mean the whole school already knows but there might be some who don't."
"Of course Andrew! Why would I do that?" She said.
"Okay. So maybe a year ago I actually got invited to a party, which was a bit of a surprise, but apparently I'm a bigger party animal than expected. I don't really remember this happening but there were pictures of me chugging every sight of alcohol in the house, pouring glitter in a bathtub and bathing in it, throwing up a little glitter, and running into peoples yards in a speedo dancing screaming 'I'm a unicorn!'. "
"Wow." She said. That's all she had to say, it was so embarrassing.
"I also might have made out with a stuffed animal." I said looking down at my hands.
"WOW. Well... um...."
I was waiting for her to say 'you're a weirdo' or something like that. Maybe that she didn't want to be seen with me again.
"WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING NOW." She screamed.
"WHAT THE HELL ALEX?! WHY?!?" I screamed back. "Are you trying to embarrass me?"
"No. I'm trying to bring your reputation back up."
"How is going to a party going to bring it back up, I am just going to embarrass myself again."
