Chapter 11
The day of the party drew closer, and I was getting anxious. This time, there was a possibility that Luke and I would not be avoiding each other. I sighed as I copied down notes on The Great Gatsby from the board, throughout the whole class I couldn't help but replay the movie with Leonardo DeCaprio in my head.
"Hey, Jamie." A voice behind me whispered. I turned to see Jack, the host of the last party, looking at me excitedly, "Is it true you're throwing a party tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yeah." I answered before going back to my notes. No way did I have any intention to get into trouble for talking to Jack of all people, now if it was Luke that was a different story.
"Hey, Jamie." He whispered again.
"What?" I asked not turning around this time. I waited for a response.
"Can I come?" He asked. I let out a breathy laugh as I nodded.
"Yes you can come."
A few minutes passed when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey, Jamie." He whispered yet again. I turned around.
"What?" I asked more angrily this time.
"Can I bring people?" He asked. I sighed.
"Yes you can. Now can you do something for me?" I asked him, he nodded, "be quiet." I told him. He smiled and nodded; I turned back in my seat to find Mrs. Crumpet staring directly at me with a scowl on her face.
"Is there something you would like to share with the class?" She asked in a taunting manner. I smirked, she was not my most favorite teacher and I liked to give her a hard time. I looked around the class momentarily to see if this was a crowd I would be willing to invite into my home.
"Yeah actually," I said standing up, "Um...there is a party at my house tomorrow, bring your friends for a good time." I sat down before remembering, "It's uh- B.Y.O.B." I finished. The class collectively giggled but Mrs. Crumpet did not look amused. And then right then and there sentenced me to a lunch detention.
Skye: Jamie where r u?
Me: Detention :(
I quickly texted her as I entered the detention room deciding to skip lunch, I did not feel like eating my food in this hot, windowless classroom. I crossed my arms and placed my head on them choosing to rest. This was going to be a long day.
Luke: where r u?
Me: Detention
Luke: for what?
Me: I'll tell u later
Michael: lol
Me: ?
Michael: I talked to Jack
Me: oh. It was 1 of my more witty remarks
Michael: just hope they don't call ur dad
Oh shit. I didn't think of that.
Me: They probs won't
Me: See u after school?
Michael: yup
After detention and school I stood outside of the building waiting for Michael and possibly the other guys. When I heard a usual amount of snickering coming towards me I turned towards it. Coming towards me laughing and pointing was Calum, Ashton, and Michael. I sighed.
"Are we back in the past?" Ashton asked jokingly. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah wasn't it like a year ago when you would do stuff like this all the time?" Calum asked. I shook my head jokingly.
"Actually started two years ago." I corrected, "So where's Luke?" I asked looking around to see if he was coming round.
"He had to be home, his mum put him on temporary quarantine since he's not been doing his maths homework." Michael explained. I nodded as we started for the parking lot.
The boys were hyped for the party, especially since they knew their friend (me) seemed to be back like her old self, not the moody troublemaker that had a hard time letting people in.
Later that day Skye called me to set up her turntables early so she didn't have to worry about it tomorrow.
"Oh yeah, and can Calum come?" She asked.
"Of course he's the second music man." I told her, I heard laughing on the other end before we ended our conversation and she started on her way over with Calum. I quickly cleaned up the living room and moved around some of the lounge chairs to empty a space for them. Within minutes Skye and Calum arrived with their stuff.
"Jamie!" She greeted as if she hadn't been staying with me at my house.
"Hey Skye, Calum." I greeted while picking up one of her portable cases that enclosed her turntables, "I kind of have no idea what you have to do so I'll let you guys have at it. Drinks?" I offered after I basically told them that I'm not going to help.
"We'll save those for the party." Skye chuckled.
"I was going to offer you guys juice pouches." I said rolling my eyes as I grabbed them out of the fridge anyway. I looked over to see Calum watching Skye intently as she explained to him what went where. When I was watching them, I noticed that Calum seemed captivated by Skye, watching her every move, smiling at her knowingly. I shook the thought away as I entered the room and handed them the pouches. He wouldn't do that to Ashton, I thought before plopping down on the sofa.
Me: Hiya :) how's maths?
Luke: Ha. Ha. :(
Me: You'll be able to still come tomorrow right?
Luke: Yes, even if I have to sneak out ;)
Me: lol just don't get caught
Luke: but if Ash doesn't catch me I will never fully evolve from a pichu :(
Me: haha you sound like Michael
"Who are you texting over there?" Skye asked me. I looked up from my phone and peered over the sofa seeing that they were both looking at me. I giggled, just realizing that I had been quietly laughing to myself.
"Uh...Uh..." I said awkwardly before looking back down at my phone already too distracted by my phone.
Luke: I play Pokémon too :/
Me: me too. Togepie I choose you! >. <
Luke: I love that one! It's so cute
Me: Yeah, so are you Pikachu :)
Luke: /0.0\ did you just call me cute?
Me: Yes I did
Luke: You're cute
Me: Of course I am. No one can resist a Togepie ;)
Luke: I know. Sorry I have to go finish maths with my mum. See you tomorrow. :)
"Who're you texting?" Skye asked knowingly as she leant on the sofa looking down at me. I looked at her smiling.
"Pikachu."
*A/N*
Super sorry for the shortness. I am almost as excited for the party scene as if I were actually going to a party.
Just kidding I never go to parties. I'm a loner. Anyway I'd rather host a horror movie marathon :) but that's just me.
Anyways hope you enjoi
