"Have fun kiddo"

January 11th

(Part 2)

Parties weren't really my scene. But this was my party, so I'm making it my scene.

Music was blasting the beach and red cups were in everyone's hands. Not to mention pretty much half the town was here.

But I can't really leave my own party. I guess I could try? No. I can't. I sigh and pull my cup to my lips again the taste of water satisfies me and I smile. I'd rather not have a hangover on the plane tomorrow and besides I'm driving home and who knows how many other drunk teenagers I'll have to take with me.

"Enjoying your party kid?" I hear Jordan say in my ear beside me.

I whip my head around and face him. He's already got a chick under his arm. I roll my eyes at him.

"It's fantastic!" I say sarcastically.

"Great! I'm glad you like it!"

He's totally drunk and it's only 8 o'clock. I just wish I could get home and have a nice last sleep in my bed. The girl that's with Jordan puts a hand up to cover her mouth then whispers something to Jordan. He grins and she giggles.

"Lets go then" He smirks.

"Frickin' disgusting" I mumble.

"See you later sis!" He calls as his new project drags him along the sand to who knows where.

I drink the water that's left in my cup and make my way over the the small bonfire that someone made. Surely this is illegal right? But then again I see most of the cops in our town here dressed up casually having a good time so I'm guessing a bonfire is the least if their concerns right now.

"Ella!" I hear a familiar voice exclaim.

"Carter!" I shout before even turning around to confirm who it is. I grew up with the kid. I was the first one to hear when his voice changed in puberty.

Carter quickly engulfs me in a bear hug. "Glad you could make it!" I say.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world"

"Bullshit"

"Figure of speech" He defends.

I laugh and wrap my arm around his shoulder. "How long have you been here?" I ask.

"Just got here actually, I wanted to say hi to you before I completely lose my mind over drinking" He jokes.

"Uh yeah well take it easy on the booze tonight mate your mum is here" I say nudging him to look in the direction of his mum talking to my mum.

"Ugh, that's no fun" He pouts.

I laugh and I guide him for a walk down the beach.

"So have you applied for any colleges yet?" I ask starting conversation.

"Uh yeah," He says scratching the back of his his neck. "I've been given a full ride scholarship to Tulane in New Orleans"

I stop and face him. I slap his arm. "Why the hell didn't you tell me?! That's amazing!" I gush.

"Yeah, mum and dad are pretty stoked" He says.

"And your not?"

"I am! Don't get me wrong I am but when I imagined myself playing college football I imagined being with Texas not a private school" He says biting his lip.

I wrap my arms around his neck to comfort him. "It doesn't matter what school you go to, you'll do amazing. And if you don't like Tulane you can always switch" I say giving him a smile.
