She's Coming Home

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 ~

Lily's POV:

"Lily just put on the damn dress." Chloe tells me, holding out the laced, sky blue, strapless dress.

"I don't want to get dressed up Chloe." I grunt, putting another apple slice into my mouth as I lean back against the headboard of my bed.

The day that I have been dreading has finally arrived, the highschool reunion. Great. Chloe rummages through my closet, me having no interest as I sit on my bed.

"Your wearing it okay." She says, laying the sky blue dress at the end of my bed.

She pulls out another one of my dresses before shoving her jeans down her legs, her top coming off next.

She shimmies the purple V neck, slim fitted dress up.

"It's nice." I say, nodding my head as I munch on another apple slice.

"Put yours on. We leave in an hour." She says before picking up her discarded clothes, walking out of my room.

I do as told, the dress coming just above my knees. I sigh before pulling my hair out of its bun, my long brown hair falling in waves around my face.

I push it back as I scamper to my closet, pulling out my lihght blue converse before shoving them onto my feet.

Chloe pokes her head into my room, a satisfied look spreading across her face, " I'm doing your makeup."

Great. Makeup. I never was a fan of makeup but I let her do what she wanted.

Half an hour passed before we headed outside to the car and when we finally arrived to our destination. I felt a huge amount of weight gain on me. I never wanted to come here in the first place.

As soon as we walked through the high school doors to the gym, my mouth became dry and murmuring filled up every inch of the room.

I glance at Chloe and her eyes widen as she spots something across the room, her lips pulling into a smile.

"Clarissa !" She squeals, scampering a few feet ahead of me to embrace the red headed girl that I had only spoken to a few times before. I wasn't very social in high school, but Chloe was.

I let my hands swing back and forth in front of me as I wait for Chloe's reunion with Clarissa to end.

"Lily, you remember Clarissa don't you ?" Chloe asks me, pulling me by the arm to come with them. I clutch onto my hand bag, nodding my head.

"Yeah, of coarse." I smile, accepting the hug that Clarissa offered me. Chloe, Clarissa and I make a little more small talk before Clarissa speaks up.

"Well, I want to go find Mr. Saffer." Clarissa winks to us, walking away swiftly.

I smiled as I remembered Mr. Saffer being our attractive Biology teacher. The teacher Chloe and I would giggle about at our classroom desks, our cheeks flaring when he would notice.

"Do you want to get some food?" Chloe asks, dragging me towards the tables anyways before I could even give an answer.

"No, I'd rather go home." I decide to answer instead, stumbling behind Chloe trying to avoid bumping into random people.

She ignores my negative words, grabbing two paper plates from the edge of the table before handing mine to me.

I lean against the plastic table after putting a few cubes of fruit onto my plate, watching people dance, talk, laugh, and eat as Chloe talks with yet another long lost friend. My eyes wonder around the whole room stopping right when I see a head of brown curls.

Oh God no.

Please no.

I almost drop my plate as he started to walk further into the room. He's much taller than he used to be. Chloe gasps as I tug her towards me, away from the makeup caked girl that she was talking to.

"What?" She asks with frowned eyebrows, turning to see what my eyes were fixed on.

He looked bored, his hands shoved in his pockets as he tries to avoid mysterious stares from people around him.

"Shit." Chloe curses under her breath.

My heart stops as his eyes scan quickly over myself and Chloe, recognition in his eyes as they instantly dart back.

"Yeah ... Shit." My voice trembles.

Tom's POV:

I annoyedly slam the door of my car, walking across the parking lot before entering the horrid highschool gym doors.

Right when I entered I recognized familiar faces.

I ignore the glances of people, shoving my hands into my pockets as I maneuver around people. I glance to the food table, scanning over a couple of people who lean against the tables to find someone interesting to talk to to kill some time before going home.

I instantly look back, brown hair, hazel eyes, very attractive ... Lily.

Now here's a way to kill some time.
