Nerd || H.S

Chapter 9

My phone loudly vibrated on the hard wood of the small coffee table next to the other sofa in my living room. Tugging up the pyjama bottoms that hung low on my waist and tightening the light brown messy bun tied upon my head, I walked across the room and grabbed the mobile.

Flopping back onto my previous seat, I glanced at the lit up screen and swiped to unlock the notification.

Text message from: Reece

Reece is my closet friend from College. No, we don't spend every second of every day together but that's not what it's about. I feel like I could tell her anything and I would trust her with my life.

'I've been invited to this party, apparently basically everyone we know from College is going to be there, so you wanna come with me?' Reece's message read.

'I mean, I guess so. Is there going to be food?'

'Well, most probably.'

'I'm in!'

'You can bring your little nerdy friend along if you'd like.. ;) Haha. What's his name.. Harvey?'

'First of all, his name is Harry and second of all, how do you even know him?!'

'Well, word gets around and Thea.. You know I know everything ;)'

'Okay whatever. Anyway, when is this party?'

'It's tomorrow at half past six.'

'Tomorrow?! Short notice much? Aha.'

'Well I only got the invitation the other day so that's the best you're going to get.'

'Okay, if you can come to my house about half an hour before the party, so at six, I can get Harry to pick us up if he's up for going, he can be our ride.'

'Alright, see you tomorrow love x'

...

"I don't know about that.." Harry's voice spoke from the other end of the phone call.

"Come on, you'll be fine. Just come in your best casual attire and we can leave whenever you want." I begged, smiling through the phone.

"I probably won't even know half of the people at this party." He stated.

"That's fine.. I'll be there." I smiled.

"Okay, okay, fine. I'll go." Harry said as I clearly recognised a small smile on his face, due to the swift change in the tone of his voice. "But promise me we'll leave when I say?" His words becoming innocent.

"I guess so, but not if it's for something silly." I giggled.

"I'm your ride home, I won't be leaving without you. I'll pick you up at seven." Harry voiced and hung up.
