Chapter 15: Rule #2: Don't be Eager

“Britton! I can’t believe you did this without asking me!” I yelled, throwing my arms in the air.

“Char, I know you hate parties, but please we just won the first game of the season! It’s tradition!” Britton tried explaining.

“Tradition my ass!”

“Oh no, you did not just diss the tradition!”

“Maybe I did!” I screamed back, my patience and placidness dwindling by the second.

“Well, Calvin was coming to this party, but maybe I’ll just uninvite him.” Britton said shrugging his shoulders. My head popped up at his name. It’s funny how I react to my crush’s name faster than I do to my own name.

“I knew you would think again about this.” Britton smirked.

“B-but what about Aunt Lucy? She trusted us to keep the house in one piece for the weekend while she is out.” I tried reasoning with him

“It’s not going to get like Project X, Char. I promise.” Britton said in his convincing tone. Biting my lip, I thought about the consequences of holding this party. Well, my brother and I could get sent to jails for giving underage kids drinks, if the party gets too out of control the neighbors will call the cops. Most of the outcome resulted in getting caught by cops, and I sure as hell don’t want to see another cop after the weed incident. But then on the other hand Calvin was coming. The guy who I had a crush on since like forever. Tonight maybe the night I could show him I’m not some weirdo. Sighing, I turned my back on Britton giving him his answer.

“Fine, but if we get caught by the cops I was never part of this deal.” I said exasperated.

“Yes! Yes! Yes! I love you, Char!” Britton jumped up and down on his way to the kitchen. Shaking my head, I went up to my room to research. I opened up Chester and pulled up google and typed in “how to flirt if you’re socially awkward.” A bunch of websites popped up and I clicked on the first one. Apparently I should be myself. Psh, what kind of advice is that? I went back and clicked on the second site. There was a set of rules.

1) Make sure your make-up is super sexy

2) Make sure you stand out and don’t be too eager

3) Tell him he looks hunky tonight, but then call some other boy hunky as well so they well try to get your attention more.

I stopped reading at this point because there was a knock on my door and the music from below was getting loud. They must be here, and there is already a couple ready to lose their virginity. Well, not in my bed sista. However, the knocking continued, but I tried to ignore it as best as I could until I heard the doorknob jingle and twist. In walked Stella and Chase, Stella holding a couple of bags in her hand. Chase closed the door and locked it behind him.

“Charlotte, what the hell are you doing up here, when your brother is throwing a kick ass party? I even saw Calvin.” Stella said as she wiggled her eyebrows in a suggestive way.

“I hate parties.” I said bluntly.

“But your hunky prince charming is down there!” exclaimed Chase in a girly tone. I shot him a look, but he ignored it and went to my drawers and started opening them while Stella took out dresses from her bag.

“What are you guys doing?” I asked a bit confused but all of it.

“Tonight we are going to help you get Calvin Smith with Operation Flirtation.” said Stella. Funny. I was just looking up techniques on the Internet when I had a supermodel friend to help me.
