Extravaganza... chap-12

I turn the TV off and snuggle under my blankets. I let my heavy eye lids sink shut and my mind wonder in to sleep.

These past five days have been a rush. I've been on my toes about my classes and so far so good. I have all A's except for history because I swear Mr. Jones hates me. How the hell am I suppose to know that in 755 A.D. the An Lushan rebellion against the Chinese Tang Dynasty resulted in thirty six million deaths. Like, who the hell knows that?! Ughhh. Just two more classes until the weekend is here. I can do this. I take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
Well here goes nothing.

I surprising get to the class before Tyler does. I take a seat closer to the window. Its beautiful outside. Fall is just so amazing. "Hey Sarah, can I sit here?" I turn my head from the window to see Tyler with a grin. "Sure, I guess" Alex would literally stab me with a spoon if she knew how much I've been talking to him. It seems like every class I have with him, we always end up sitting together. Like yesterday we were on opposite sides of the room until Ms. Scott picked us as lab partners. Which I don't really mind, but it just feels so wrong. I really should tell Alex. Sigh. I still need to ask her about tomorrow. "So Ms. Waters, what's the difference?" I look back to a full classroom of students and a teacher who does not look amused that I was looking outside. I shift in my seat trying to see behind her to see the board. There is a venni diagram of 'Too' 'To' and 'Two'. Good thing I know this. "T-o is a preposition which begins a prepositional phrase or an infinitive. T-o-o is an adverb meaning "excessively" or "also." And T-w-o is a number." I give myself a little self high five. Ms. Woods just rasies her eyebrow at me and turns back to the board. Out of the corner of my eye I see Tyler smiling at me. I let a small grin slip from my lips. I guess he saw because he leans toward me. "Have you decided if your coming to my party?" He says in a whisper. I keep my eyes forward. "Not yet" I see him shift toward his backpack and take something out. He slides a piece of paper across my desk. "Well if you do decide to come, here are the details." I pick up the paper.
"You're Invited
Who- Tyler Coast
What- 19th Birthday EXTRAVAGANZA
When- Saturday, October 17
Time- 7pm-12pm
Where- 1723 Clear Lake Drive
Hope to see you there!"
"Extravaganza?" I question. "I like to keep things interesting thank you very much, and if you'd like to get there early, like fourish, to help me set up that would be awesome." I smile at him. Damn those blues eyes. I'm lost in his eyes. It feels like we've been staring for hours. Although I wish I could stare more I break the gaze and shake my head. I have to focus. Maybe I will go to his party.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
I grab my stuff not so much in a rush and head to my next class. I have to talk to Alex. Its my last chance. I spot the back of her head and I navigate my way through the crowd till I get to her. "Alex?!" She stops turns toward me. "Sarah! Thank God I have something to tell you!" "Wait me first! I've been trying to ask you something all week!" She sighs "Fine you can go first." I take a deep breath "Okay, so Tyler and I have been talking more." I stop to see her face. She doesn't look shocked or mad so I continue. "And he asked if I wanted to go to his birthday party. He-also-said-I-can-bring-someone-and-wanted-to-bring-you!" I say that last part so fast it barely sounds like English. She does something I never expected her to do. She smiles. "Sarah, I know y'all have been talking. Roxanne can't stop talking about you two." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. "So would you come with me?" "Sarah, I don't think that would be the best. If you want to go you can." "Your not mad?" I question. She puts her hands on my shoulders. "No I'm not mad." I smile and hug her tightly. She starts taping my back quickly. "Can I tell you my thing now?!" I let her go. "Okay so-" She starts.
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
I look over at the bell on the wall. I look back at Alex. "We are already late, wanna go to Hall Pass?" She smirks at me. "After you" she motions her arm forward. I lead the way. Its not to far from here.

I flip the light switch. It's been forever since we've been here. About two years ago Alex and I were playing in the hallway. We were pushing each other back and forth when she pushed me into a door and I fell through opening it. Alex saw that there was tape on the door keeping it unlocked. She turned on the light and when it turned on I was staring up at the ceiling and the words "Hall Pass" were written there. From then on it became the place we would skip class in. "As I was saying, you remember the tournament I told you about?! Well my team got to the finals!" She has a huge smile on her face. "Wow, Alex I'm sooo beyond proud of you!" "You promised you would come to my game!" She quickly says back. Shit, I completely forgot about that "When is it?" "Next Friday!" I don't think I'm doing anything. "I'll be there" I said noding my head. "You bet your ass you will be!" I raise my hands up in self defense "Okay, okay. I just said I would." She and I both laugh. Alex take out her phone after a bit and started texting someone as far as I could tell. Something is making her smile on her screen and I can't quite tell what. I grab mine out and play clash of clans for a while until the bell almost scares the piss right got of me. That's the only bad part of Hall Pass, the bell was like ten times louder in here in normal.

I do a quick book and notes change at my locker then I head towards my car. I get to my door and I notice a paper on my windshield wiper. I walk around and take the paper. I unfold it and some words where scribbled on it.
"I hope to see you tomorrow
~;)"
That was it. Six words and a winky face. Ughhh who is sending these!

I get home and take a quick shower and flop on my bed. Today has been exhausting. I open my eyes slightly and see my back pack by my door. I slowly get up and walk to it and take out the invite Tyler gave me. I walk back and sit on the edge of my bed. Should I go?
*Vvvvvvvvv*
I look over and my phone is vibrating on my night stand. It's Fisher.
Him- Heyy beautiful thing, I'll be at the cage around 4ish if you wanna hang, which I know you do;)
My phone I'm one hand and the invite in the other. I do want to go see Fisher, but I also want to see Tyler. What do I do?!

Last chance! What should Sarah do?!
