Stacy's pov
"Bye Grase" I say as I end the Skype call between me and my friend graser. "Bye Stace!" He says laughing as he says it. His adorable laugh. "What are you laughing at?" I ask pretending to sound offended. "Nothing really... Just thinking" "ok" I giggle and I can see him smiling through the screen. Oh I love him. But he would never love a girl like me. "What're you thinking about?" I ask again resulting in a laugh from him. Oh that laugh "that's for me to know and you to find out. Maybe I'll tell you at my party tonight" oh yeah Graser, or Zach, was throwing a party for my birthday. Which still wasn't for another three days. But he was in LA and leaving in two so he decided to do it tonight. "Okay, well I've got a stack of editing and writing to do so I'll see you there Zach". "See you there" he confirms with a slightly puzzled look on his face. Crap I blew it. I never call him Zach unless it's important. "Fuck" I mumble and he gasps. Stacy you dumb little shit. You haven't ended the Skype call. I thought to myself. "Well well well, Miss StacyPlays. Someone isn't so innocent anymore" I giggle "so I swear, you do too!" He smiles "that I do" and it's at that moment that I wish I could kiss him.
I put a blue and white striped sweater over my outfit and inspect it in the mirror. It was a rather chilly night in LA, so I decided on blue skinny jeans, a white tank top with an attached blue cardigan and white and blue striped converse. As you can probably tell; I liked the colours blue and white.
I checked my hair, finger combing it one last time. It fell in my natural brown curls down my shoulders. I had just enough time to finish my makeup. I used natural tones consisting of foundation, light eyeshadow, mascara and a little bit of eyeliner.
I grabbed my purse and put my phone in my back pocket.
"STACYYYYYYY" Graser yells as I step onto my front porch. "ZACHYYYYYYYY" I yell back as I run up to him and hug him violently. I throw my arms around his neck and he hesitates, before wrapping his arms around my waist. I hear a cough from his car and someone pokes their head out. It was Parker
"PARKER!" I yell and run to him, who had just gotten out of the car. I catch him unaware as I hug him and he is pushed back against the car. "Whoa Stace, I know we haven't seen each other for a while but that's no reason to murder me!" I giggle "sorry P"
We all climb into Graser's car. I rode shotgun with Parker unhappily stuffed in the back with the party supplies. They had picked me up early so I could set up with them. "So Miss Stace, are you excited?" Zach asks me when we come to a stoplight. "Very. Thank you guys so much, I love you both" Zach blushes but Parker just flicks my shoulder from behind. "You're getting Soppy in your old age Stace. How old are you turning? 30?" He jokes even though he full well knows my real age. "Shut up I'm only 21" I say.
We finally arrive at Graser's mystery party destination. It's a little country club with a fountain, a secret flower garden and a lush green lawn everywhere. "I love it!" I exclaim hugging him for the second time that night. "GROUP HUG" Parker squeals and hugs us both. We all laugh. "Well, better get this set up"
"Are we going to be the only ones here?" I say, talking about us and all the party members. "Yep" Zach says, trying to pin a streamer onto a flowered archway. I giggle and hold the streamer while he pins it. I leave him to his work and go over to Parker and Julio who has just arrived.
"Hey hey hey" I say
"STACE" he says hugging me, squishing me to the table.
"Parker help!" I laugh
"Nope, now you know how it fells"
I detach his arms from around me and help Parker put out all the candy.
"OOH JELLYBEANS" I say
"Awe they're blue and white" I smile noticing that everything is blue and white. Even the plates are blue and white and have my logo on them.
"This is cute guys" I say and Graser covers my eyes from behind. "#GRACY" Parker yells. I giggle and remove his arms.
More people start to arrive. Lizzie, Joel, Tiffany, Mario, Joey, Daniel, Meghan, Bee, Straub, Dul, Devon and H just to name a few. I hug them all and they all give me little gifts. Everything was great until Bee yelled "LETS PLAY TRUTH OR DARE" I hated that game but since everyone agreed I obviously had to too.
We all sat in a circle in the soft green grass in the secret flower garden. Bee explained the rules. "So we're going to play a different version. Of course you'll be asked truth or dare. You don't have to answer the truth or do the dare but if you refuse, the person asking you can tweet anything they want off your phone" I groaned but reluctantly agreed
Straub went first. "Bee, truth or dare?" He asked. "Truth" she confirmed. "When did you have your first kiss?" She groaned "when i was 12" she answered "oooh she was a young one" Parker said seriously, despite the smile on his face.
Next was Bee "Dul truth or dare" "dare." She said "I dare you to sit next to your crush" she got up and sat next to Julio. "Oooooooh" was everyone's response. Next was "Dul's turn. "Stacy, truth or dare" "dare" I say "I dare you to sit next to your crush" I was in between Graser and Parker. "I am" I say confidently. "Which one?" She asks "I'm not telling. The only clue is that it's either Graser or Parker"
"You have to give me your phone then" Dul says sassily but I retaliate back "no I don't, you dated me to sit next to my crush and I did" "she has a point" says Bee. And that was the end of the conversation.
~• time skip: after party •~
"Thanks Zach, I really had a good time" I say. My bag with all my gifts hung loosely over my arm. "Oh I almost forgot. Here" Zach says, pulling a small box out of his pocket. "This is for you" I look down at the small box and smiled. "Go on" he urges gently. I untie the blue ribbon and carefully tear off the white wrapping paper.
I open the small black box and lift out a gold chain with a small sea green heart shaped pendant. My eyes grow wide as I run the chain through my fingers. "I love it" I say, finally looking up. "In glad you do, look at the back" I gently turn the necklace over and inspect the back. Words were carved into the back. "Happy 21st. Love Zachy"
I feel tears in my eyes. Stacy you fucktard. You can't cry
But I did anyway. "Hey what's wrong?" He asks, lifting my face so my eyes meet his own. "Nothing, I - I love it" and you
A few minutes later I was sitting in the passenger seat of Zach's car with Bee and Parker sitting in the back. We stopped at Bee's hotel first, then Parker's house and finally mine. "Thanks for tonight. I really enjoyed it" he smiles. Oh that smile. He laughed. "Anything for you Stace" I smile.
"Do you have a place to stay?" I ask, knowing he had been staying with various people instead of hotels. "I can stay at Parker's" he shrugged. "Are you sure?" I ask "I have two spare rooms" he seems to consider it before answering "I'm sure, it's fine" before entering my house though, I run back to Zach and kiss him on the cheek.
A/N: so it's my first Gracy fanfic and I want to do well for you guys! And HOLY CRAP THIS FIRST CHAPTER WAS LONG. Over 1,000 words I've never written that much before but I'm hoping that that will be the average word limit for each chapter.
I haven't got an update schedule but I'm thinking every Sat or Sunday + Monday.
