i promise.

party

after a long night, i woke up remembering today is the day of the freshman party. i checked the time. 10:00 am. the party starts at 7:30. my phone vibrates and a notification from kaylie shows up.
"im coming over at 4:00. we can do our makeup and hair together and i can hangout w u," she texted me.
"ok. i'll let nicole and mikyla know," i replied.
i texted nicole and mikyla to come over at 4:00.

the day passed on as i ate breakfast and spent some time with my mom and little sister. my dad is usually at work, so we don't spend so much time together. before i knew it, it was almost 2:00 pm so i decided to take a shower. when i came out, i just put on my pajamas and waited for the girls to come over. my stomach had that butterfly feeling ever since i woke up and i couldn't stop thinking about what happened yesterday.

"you love him."

"you love him."

"you love him."

i love him? but love is such a strong word. i didn't know how to feel. i tried to take deep breaths but nothing worked. i was still extremely nervous. i heard the door knock. i ran downstairs and opened the door to see kaylie, nicole, and mikyla. we went into my room and started laying out our outfits and makeup. i didn't like makeup very much -- not at all, actually. it's not that i hate it in general, i just absolutely hate when makeup is on me. so while they were spending time on their makeup, i was straightening my practically already straight hair to make it look shiny. 

"dude you're gonna look so hot. luke's going to die," mikyla said to me.

"true!" nicole and kaylie responded.

"can we like, not talk about me for once?" i said, being quite serious. the laughter suddenly stopped.

"nicole and michael." then we all started talking about them as she blushed. i didn't want to talk about me and luke. i was extremely shy about it, not to mention how nervous i become. 

i look up to my friends; they're confident about basically everything. im an introvert who only open up to people im close to. when you first meet me, im pretty boring and i barely talk. anyways, when we were all done with our makeup and hair, we put on our outfits. we all looked great. it was around 6:00, so we went downstairs and sat with my mom and sister and watched some tv. when it was around 6:45, my mom drove us to the party. 

"please be safe my loves," my mother said as she arrived to the huge house.

"okay, we will. bye mom, love you!" she said it back and drove away. now i was here, at the party, with my 3 best friends, lots of boys, and dozens of people i do not know. what could go wrong?

i've never been to calum's house. well, i have, but once. he just recently moved to this one a few months ago. i've been to his old house once with kaylie, because we had a project to do. he used to live in a regular single family home, but now he lives in a mansion. im pretty sure 3/4 of the rising freshmen were at this party. i was getting really nervous.

"okay, so calum's house is huge," nicole said.

"wait till you see the inside guys.." kaylie told all 3 of us.

we walked inside, and it was HUMONGOUS. GINORMOUS. GIGANTIC. mikyla, nicole and i had our jaws dropped. there were a few people on the main level, but the actual party was downstairs. i couldn't even imagine what the basement looked like. it was obviously really big and it was filled with people everywhere. we somehow got to meet up with calum and sit with him and some of his friends. there was michael and ashton. ashton is one of my best friends. my mom and his mom go way back. he's a year older than me, so he's like my older brother.

"sana!!"

"ashton!!" we hugged each other and then i sat down. then i realized who was sitting on the other side of calum.

luke hemmings.

should i casually say hey to him or just wait till he realizes im here? he probably forgot that i exist. crap.

i decided not to say anything, because luke started to join our conversation. he glanced at me and realized i was here.

"hey sana!" he said, very nicely.

"oh, hey luke!" i said back.

butterflies.

"great to see you here. you've gotten your schedule, right?" he said, trying to make conversation with me.

"haha, yeah. you?" i replied, trying to sound AS CHILL AS POSSIBLE.

"yeah, i just got mine yesterday. what teachers do you have?"

he wants to know what teachers i have. why? kdjshfkghfkjhk

"mrs. hadley for homeroom, mr. foreman for math, ms. lance for civics...that's all i remember right now hah."

"i have the same teacher for math ay," luke said.

more butterflies.

"cool!" i said.

"you're really chill, sana. we should all hang out more."

IS HE BEING SERIOUS? even more butterflies.

"yeah, we definitely should." i replied, smiling.

there. we actually had a conversation. i didn't think that would happen at all. woah.

the party went on, but luke and i didn't really talk or interact after that. luke went to some of his other friends, while me and my best friends sat with michael, calum, ashton, and some other close friends. we had a lot to talk about and we were also talking about what we all wanted to do soon or sometime during the school year.

"did you two actually talk?" nicole said quietly into my ear.

"yes. oh my lord im still shaking."

the 3 girls hugged me and kept teasing me. i saw nicole and michael talking a lot and flirting with each other. i changed the subject to something else. later, i got really thirsty and there was no more water. calum told me where to find more of it, so i went and kaylie said she'll come with me.

"hold on, i gotta go to the bathroom. you know where to find them, right?" kaylie told me as we made it back upstairs. i nodded my head yes, but i didn't feel like walking alone like a loner. i did it anyways, and i surprisingly found the water without looking clueless and dumb. as i grabbed the water there was someone in front of me who was tall. i said excuse me, but they didn't hear me. i was looking down to my phone so i wouldn't look stupid and i was waiting for kaylie to come out from the restroom. the boy turned around and bumped into me very hard, and the drink that was in his hand spilled over my outfit.

"oh, shit," i was now looking down at my clothes that were now partially wet, when i recognized the voice.

it was luke.

i look up to see him very worried, wondering what to do.

"sana, im so sorry. oh my god, im so sorry, i--" 

my shoes were all wet...my favorite shoes i was looking forward to wearing a lot this year. it sounded selfish, but the only thing that came out of my mouth was,"my shoes.."

he looked straight at me and realized that those were my new and favorite shoes.

"im so sorry. shit. fuck. im so sorry sana, i really--"

"it's fine, luke, i promise." it was. it was okay. it was an accident and if it was anyone else i would understand. he looked really disappointed. i laughed a little.

"luke, it really is fine. don't be upset," he smiled.

damn. his smile was hot.

then there we were, standing for what felt like a million years. me and my not-so-perfect outfit and him completely perfect, looking into each other's eyes.
