5. Break the rules

"Come on and break the rules...what do you have to lose?"

America.

It was a long full week of school. All the work and getting to know each other was a drag. It was way too much for my head and the fact that I didn't drink at the first party made my head hurt.

I'm not a full blown alcoholic that needs to drink. It's just I like to let loose and drink every now and then. I hadn't talked to Shawn since the party, I haven't talked to many people really. I just want to get this year over with as quietly as possible.

It was Friday and I was walking home when I seen a car pull up near me. I turned down my volume and looked at the car. I rolled my eyes when I seen Brandon.

"Hey America!" He yelled from the open window.

"What do you want Brandon? Your school isn't even around here." I say as I continue to walk.

"I just wanted to know if you needed a ride to my party." He tells me and that catches my attention.

I stop and look at him, "You're throwing a party?" I asked as a smile started to form on my face.

"Of course so are you coming or not?" He smirked.

I then started walking towards his truck and I got in. He then started diving forward.

"Wait we need to stop by my house so I can change." I tell him and he just nodded.

He pulled up by my house since it was on this street anyways. I quickly got out and went to my door, I pulled out my phone to call Jordyn as I walked upstairs.

"Hey what's up?" She answered.

I walked into my bed room and went to my closet, "Hey I'm going to Brandon's party tonight you going?" I asked.

"Can't have a family dinner tonight, hey are you going to be okay going on your own?" She asked.

I picked out a light pink strapped dress. I took off my clothes and put on the dress, it hugged all the right places and felt like an extra skin if I was being honest.

"Yeah I'll be fine, I'll call you if I need anything." I tell her and I can just picture her looking worried.

"Yeah okay if anything happens America you call me right away!" She says sounding like a worried Mom.

"Got it Mom." I laugh and she just chuckles.

"Bye Mercia!" She said before she hung up.

I locked my phone and went over to my bathroom to fix my hair and makeup. I slid on my black heels After I was done I took my phone and my clutch before walking downstairs. I grabbed my key and locked the front door and walking to Brandon's truck.

I got in and he just had his eyes on me, "Damn America don't go to my house wearing that and thinking that nothing's going to happen." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Just shut up and drive." I tell him and he nods his head.

"Yes mam!" He muttered as he pulled out of my driveway.
