1 Night, 5 Hearts

Chapter 1 || Forrest Gump Knows Everything

"Hey, are you going to Bryan's party tonight?" Celsey asked, over the phone. We have been talking for at least three hours about some guy she has been crushing on for the past week. She's refusing to tell me his name though, which is entirely too frustrating.

"Yeah, I'm going. It's the last big party of the year," I gushed even though she already knew I was going. We always go. I mean not only because it's one of our friends parties, but because his parties are always the most talked about.

"Cool. I'll be by your house soon and we can get ready together," she squealed, again another tradition. No need to even ask anymore. Although sometimes we do get ready at her house. No matter. Celsey and I are pretty much thick as thieves. That is such a weird expression. Well, whatever we are like peas and carrots. Much better. Forrest Gump knows everything.

"That's perfect! I love doing your makeup." She has the most beautiful face. Honestly, I wish I had her skin. It's like when God was putting together Cels he was like she needs just a dash more flawless.

"Okay well, my Mom just got home, so I'll see you soon," she hung up and I was left sitting at my computer. Scrolling through Facebook, I see a picture post by Ethan, so I click on it.

Ethan is (how should I put this) a huge pain in the ass. We're friends, but in the sense that he is a selfish, pig, and I call him on it.

In the picture he's laughing with Bryan and Emmett. Bryan's locked under Ethan's arm, while Emmett is shaking his head with his signature smile on his face. Those three are practically attached at the hip. All five of us, Celsey, Bryan, Emmett, Ethan, and I, have been friends for as long as I can remember. Last year, Emmett and I started dating, he asked me and I couldn't help, but say yes, I mean I love him! It's like I've always loved him, but until he asked me out I never even contemplated dating him. I had always thought of them as annoying brothers. But that's not to saying dating Emmett is like that. It's nice because he already knows everything about me and I him. We trust each other and isn't that what love is. Trust.

It's not long before Ethan's little Icon pops up on my screen:

Ethan: Hey, Legs

Ugh, I hate when he calls me that, so I have nice legs, it doesn't mean I want to be named after them.

Anna: Hey, Ego, getting ready for the party tonight.

Ethan: Yep, I hear some freshmen are coming and you know how I feel about that

Anna: You really are the biggest pig I know

Ethan: I'll take that as a compliment, A

Anna: You would.

Ethan: So, you and our little Whipped Charming gracing us at the party?

Anna: Of course!

Ethan: Well see you two lovebirds soon

Anna: See you, E

I look over the message again, ugh he can be such a jerk and he's talking about his friends here. Just imagine what it's like to be one of his enemies. That whole attitude is how he became one of the most popular guys at our high school, well that and the fact that he is loaded. Honestly, if it wasn't for us, he would not only be self-obsessed pig, but he would also arrogant. Thankfully that is one thing he is not.

I think it may be Ethan, Celsey has a crush on. I mean it would make sense. Her eyes are practically glued to him every time he's not looking, but if that's the case why doesn't she just tell me. We've been friends since kindergarten. I know it's cheesy, but we met when her and I were sitting next to each other. Ethan stole my crayon and she yelled at him for it, instant, friendship. I've loved and adored her ever since, she is practically my sister. Mom and Dad couldn't have kids after me, so they happily took Celsey in.

But I don't know, she could also have a crush on Bryan. I mean, he's available. But he always is. He doesn't date. Why you ask, does the second cutest boy (first Emmett) at our school not date? Because unlike every other person on the planet he wants to focus on school; isn't that admirable, but at the same time he throws some of the best parties, so he really sees the best of both worlds when you come to think about it. He kind of has that 'I'm awesome, smart, and fun, but also mysterious' thing going for him and it would work too, if you aren't Celsey and I. Sorry, but we've heard him both fart and endured burp competition he likes to have with his brother, who is nine. On second thought, I really doubt she has the hots for Bryan.

Whatever. If I spend any more time on this I'm going to lose my mind.

So I leave my desk, grab my copy of To Kill A Mockingbird and read about the adventures of Scout and Jem for the hundredth time.
