Double Or Nothing // C.T.H

11 ~ Calum

Michael and I walk up the long drive way to Jess' house excitement rushing through our veins.

"I don't know if she's gonna be able to top last years party." Michael says, opening the front door, giving Tyler a fist bump.

"Yo yo! I didn't know you were going to be here!" Tyler smiles at Michael, nobody was used to seeing him again yet.

"What and miss Jess' party? No way Jose" the he laughs, before gasping and roughly pulling me to the side, frantically pointing to the living room.

My eyes follow his finger and I can feel my own jaw slack at the sight before me.

Jess was in her usual outfit before her parties. A modest dress, that way her parents didn't have one clue their 'perfect angel' was having a hard core party. There where not flashing lights, music or drinks...yet.

But what has me so shocked was Jess' small hands intertwined with Luke's, she was looking up at him intently, his head nodding slightly to whatever she was saying.

Then, she stood on her tip-toes, whispering something in Luke's ear, making him stiffen, and watch her breathlessly as she walks away.

"Damn" I whistle under my breath walking up to the blue eyed boy.

"Bro!" Michael swings his arm over Luke's shoulders. "I told you she was into you" he laughs.

"You saw that?" Luke asks, sitting on the floor beside the coffee table, his eyes looking around the room.

"Who didn't." I shrug, watching Luke's already pink cheeks turn a bright red.

"Look! Jess' parents are about to leave" Michael says excitement dripping from his words.

I watch as Jess' dad looks around the house, a stern look on his face before give Jess a kiss on the cheek. As soon a He and his wife walk out the door and drive down drive away, Jess looks out the window to make sure the cost is clear.

"Let's get this party started!" She yells, causing everyone to cheer.

Before I could even blink, the lights were off and a song loud enough to shake the walls began to play.

Bright party lights flash to the song and people were bringing coolers filled to the brink with all types of liqueur out of the closets.

"This is Fucking insane!" I yell, already enjoying the party. I grab a beer from someone handing them out, leaving Michael and Luke.

I wonder the place for a bit, saying hi to a few people here and there, before feeling a light tap on my shoulder.

"Hey, I didn't think that I'd see you here." I smile at Valerie, her hair was pulled into a pony tail with a small braid following the side of her head, black and red intertwined with each other.

"What? the new kid can't get invited to the 'cool kids' party?" She laughs, her eyes squinting at the edge. I shake my head. "No, that's not what I meant. I just didn't think partying was.. your thing." I shrug.

She raises an eyebrow. "Oh, that's right. I completely forgot that you've known me for... ah, lets say 7 hours, and you know every thing there is about me ." She shifts her weight, placing a hand on her hip.

I scoff. " I do. Don't under estimate my powers." I take a sip of my drink to hide my giggle as I wiggle my eye brows at her.
