Her insecure self

Chapter 4

I woke up the next day to the clattering of dishes and the thumping of boxes hitting the floor. Everyone else was moving in ,p. I opened my curtains and looked out the window , there were twice as many students here than yesterday. I quickly got changed and brushed my teeth before heading into the corridor, it was full of boxes as the five other members of my flat moved in . They all looked at me and I smiled.

We were all sat in the living room, chatting about our lives when casey , one of the three girls in our flat, mentioned a party later that night. Would joe be there ? We all agreed to go and I was excited but a little reluctant as I'd never actually been to a party. The other girls rushed to get ready whilst I sat on my bed unsure of what to wear, casey knocked and came in. She sat down next to me , ' so what are you gonna wear ?'. I liked her , she was nice and had my sense of humour .

' I have no idea.' She stood up and started sorting through my wardrobe , she picked out a peachy dress which showed some cleavage. I'd never actually wore it , my mum had insisted on buying it for me but as I was a little self conscious I just shoved it into the back of my wardrobe. Casey passed it to me and ushered me into the bathroom to get changed , I slipped the dress on , pleased that it covered my scars.

I walked out of the bathroom and casey gasped as she handed me some heels that matched the dress . I did a little turn for her and giggled as I sat down to do my makeup. I added a nude lip and winged liner to a pale eyeshadow before putting down my lipstick. I then loosely curled my hair before walking into the living room to meet everyone. There were 3 boys , jack , Luke and Ryan . Then there was me , casey and Mollie . Tonight was going to be so good !

We arrived at the party just after nine , there were already lots of people here , which made me anxious but as I stepped inside the music and joy soon cheered me up . I started dancing with casey and out if the corner of my eye I saw joe, ' he's gorgeous isn't he ?' Whispered casey. He caught my eye and looked away . Casey noticed and helped ' he likes you !' Before pushing me towards him. I tried to stop her but she was much stronger than me , I bumped into joe and he caught me holding me in his arms for a few minutes before awkwardly letting go . ' um hey again' he shouted ' I'm joe '
