Mistake #1

5| party?

*3 weeks later*

I haven't heard of or seen Cody since that night.
Not that I'm surprised, he could hang out with anyone, why choose me?
I walk up to the school and see my G.B.F (gay best friend) and well.. only friend for that matter, Lucas. We have been friends since forever and he just came out last year, I'm so proud of him.
"Hey girl, how you doing today?"
"Fine" is my short response
"Nope. What's wrong?" He raises his eyebrows at me in a questioning way.
I sigh "I hate that you know me so well"
"Honey, you know you love me"
"I do" I admit
"Now spill" we start walking towards the school doors and enter the crowded hallway.
"Well... Dad hasn't come home in 3 weeks and he won't answer his phone" I'm getting really worried, just telling Benji that he is on another business trip when ever he asks about it, which could be true. I hope.
"Oh Hun, that's awful. I'll start coming over to help you cook." He offers, his voice laced with concern.
"No you don't have to, I'm doing just fine but thank you" I politely deny him.
"Well if you need anything you know my number" he looks at me seriously.
"I'll remember that, thanks" we make our way to my locker and part ways as his locker is on the other side of the school.
I take out my science books and when I shut my locker, Cody is there,
Since I wasn't expecting him I jump and let out a little squeak. "Cody don't scare me like that." I laugh.
I take in his appearance. His arms are crossed over his chest, wearing his leather jacket again and one foot against the wall, he is smiling at me but I can't see most of his face because his is wearing sun glasses. "Well hello to you too" he lightly chuckles.
"So I don't know if you heard but there is this huge party going on at Mason McKardy's house this weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me?"
I have a lot to take in
-I don't see Cody for 3 weeks and he just suddenly appears
- I didn't hear about this party and I can't help but feel bad about it, that no one cared to tell me until now
-when he says huge he means HUGE. Mason is known for having the most wild party's, or so I heard, I have never been to one.
- Mason is one of your typical jocks but his family is loaded so when Cody says "house" he means huge ass mansion
- Cody wants ME to accompany HIM to a party. He is okay with being seen with me. He could ask anyone but he asked me and that made me feel tingly inside.
"Of course I would love to come to the party with you" I smile big at him.
"Good, I'll pick you up at 8 on Saturday and drive you there"
"Sure" then the bell rings and we are parted again by the sea of teens rushing to class.

It is now 5:00pm on Saturday and I start warming up the water for a shower, I have always preferred showing, I mean just sitting there in your own wet dirt, I think I'll pass. I get in and make sure to use my favourite smelling body and hair gel, it smells like vanilla with a hint of sweet honey.

Once I'm all cleaned up I step out of the shower, towel dry my hair and wrap a towel around my body as I go to look for the perfect out fit. I want it to be modest but cute and not too casual. After about half an hour I finally settle on a black crop top with white lettering,matched with a dark blue lace skirt the goes up to my belly button and stops about mid thigh and I tie it off with a thick gold chain necklace and leave my naturally curly hair down. That will have to do I think to myself and walk to my vanity were all my makeup is. I don't wear too much because that is gross, just some concealer to cover my dark circles because I haven't been getting much sleep worrying about dad, eyeliner and mascara. I apply some lip chap but that's all because I'm not quite fond of lipstick or gloss.
I have 20 minutes to kill so I sit and watch some surgery show on TLC and bite into an apple. I turn my head when I hear a knock at the door and get up to answer it.
Cody stands there smiling at me and offers me his hand but not before I grab some black high tops

And we are on our way.
