The Brooks Boys

Chapter Seventeen

"Whoa, look at you!" April shouts and Esme wolf whistles. I giggle and twirl as they clap and praise me for my outfit.

I walk towards the bed to fetch my white heels from my bag. I examine my outfit in the mirror. I don't want to stand out too much so I just went for a plain white, thin strapped skater dress that just touches my knees and some white stilettos, that I borrowed from my mother. Since my outfit has nothing what's so ever to do with halloween, I'm wearing Aprils halo and some of her jewellery. So if anyone asks I'm an angel.

"You better keep away from Beau tonight, because with you wearing that, he's not going to be able to keep his hands off you." Esme says with a small laugh. I roll my eyes at her and apply some makeup while I'm waiting for them to finish getting dressed.

"Are you girls ready?" Aprils mother shouts from downstairs. I grab my clutch and we all head downstairs.

"Wow, girls you look great!" She says. We all thank her and leave the house.

I feel a small vibration in my purse and open it to retrieve my phone. The screen flashes and I open the text.

*I can't wait to see you tonight baby ;)*

Urg. I pass my phone to Esme and April and they look me in confusion. Every time he texts me it scares me. I can't help but feel as though he is up to something.

"Here we are. Now girls be good and don't get into any trouble!" Mrs Stevens says as we get out of the car.

"Okay mom, bye." Aprils says kissing her on the cheeck. We wave to her as she drives off.

"I told her to drop us off down the road. I don't want her seeing anything that might make her ground me for the rest of my life." April says and we laugh as we walk along the road.

"So what usually happens at these parties?" I ask.

"Oh, you'll see." April says with a smirk. I've never really been to a high school party before. Back in England I went to a private catholic school. All the children there were quite stuck up and no one bothered to throw parties.

Esme is being awfully quiet with her face stuck to her phone.

"Texting Luke again are we?" April calls her out.

"What? No." She defends tucking her phone back into her bag.

"Sure." I say smiling at her. I think their boyfriend/best friend relationship is really sweet. It reminds me of Troye and I, a little.

I look up and see flashing lights in the distance. Loud music fills my ears.

"We're almost there. Brace yourself for what you are about to see." Esme says as we begin to approach a huge house.

It's the same size as mine and Aprils house put together.

I gawp at the sight. All the decorations look amazing! And there are so many people. The music gets louder and louder. Wow, I'd hate to be their neighbours.

We walk across the yard and past the half naked girls dancing on it. I've never seen a bunny dressed like that.

"There they are!" Esme says pointing towards the boys standing in the doorway, greeting people as they arrive. I look down. I know I cleared everything with Luke earlier today but I still feel as though Jai and Beau hate me. Beau walked past the library today, when Luke and I were talking. He just stared through the window, but it felt like he was starring right into my soul. He was looking at me asif I should be guilty, or I had done something wrong.
