Knight In Distress

"Are you coming to the party tonight?" Ashton asked. We were currently eating lunch. It has been two dats since my break down in the music room and things were back to normal. Well, as normal as things could be. Luke was back to being his regular jerk self.

"No, she most definitely will not." Luke interrupted, still picking at his food.

"What party?" I ask, ignoring him.

"The party at Macy's house. Luke didn't tell you?" Calum replied. I shook my head no.

"Well, we wanted to invite you. Do you wanna come?" Mikey said.

"Uh, sure. How will I get there?" I ask.

"You can ride with Lukey," Calum offered.

Judging by the scowl on Luke's face, I'm guessing he didn't like the idea. "Sure." I smile. Luke sent me his usual death glare but it doesn't work on me.

"We'll meet you guys there." Mikey smiled. "We gotta get to class, Mrs. Briggs won't be too happy if I come in late again." He stood up.

"See ya later," Calum followed Mikey and so did Ashton.

I grabbed my backpack and started to walk to class, with a scowling Luke following close behind.

"What the hell?" Luke fell into a step next to me.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"I told you not to go to the party."

"And why would I listen to you?" I challenge, continuing my walk to class.

"Because," He said, grabbing my arm, stopping me. "Something tells me you've never been to a party. You don't know what could happen."

"There's always a first. Besides, you're not the boss of me." I put a hand on my hip.

"You're so stubborn," He muttered under his breath and ran a hand through his hair. Gosh. I wanted to know how his hair feels through my hands. "Fine, do what you want. Be ready by six pm." He released his hold on me.

"Okay," I say, walking next to him.

I smile to myself for winning this one.

"I'm such a mess. I don't know what to wear." I say to Lily. We were on skype, I called her to ask for advice.

"It's a house party, right?" She asks and I nod.

When it comes to fashion, she was who I come to. She was like a big sister to me and my only other friend besides James. I knew I could trust her.

"Well, you could wear some shorts and a shirt. Or your jeans and a tank top. Bring the laptop to your closet," She says. I oblige, bringing the device to my closet.

"Okay, get those leather pants and that white tank top." I set the laptop down and get the clothes. "Okay, put those on and let me see."

I turned around an removed my clothes, replacing them with the ones Lily chose. When I was done, I went over to the laptop and let her see.

"Good. Okay, now put on your combat boots then your cuff bracelet. Then curl the ends of your hair." She instructed. I put on my boots and bracelet before getting my curling iron. I sat down on the bed whilst I curled my hair.

"Are you sure this isn't too much?" I asked.

"No, honey. I've been to these parties numerous times. You can never look too good." She smiled.

"Got any advice?"

"Stay with your company, don't get involve with guys. Don't drink anything but water."
