hi brexee

Red and Blue lights haze into one as I chug down what I think is my fifth can of beer. I hurl the empty metal onto the floor and turn swiftly on my heel, steadying myself as I look back towards the decking which is now a sea of jumping people. My head pounds with each beat of the music, propelling me forwards to join all the other dancing teens.

I take a few steps towards the new party-place before I hear a sniggering that I know all too well.

Brynn and Lexee.

"Hey!" they both shout, skipping over to me.

Brynn wears high-waisted white jeans and a black crop with laced sleeves. Her hair tumbles down one side of her face, delicately folding over her shoulder in opulent curls. As if she is in complete confusion, or just doesn't quite understand the idea of fashion, she wears light brown cowboy boots with the most nanoscopic heels – which doesn't do much for a girl who's rather small.

On the other hand, you have Lexee.

Lexee wears a pastel yellow skater skirt with a casual white tee. Her shoes are also relaxed, a pair of white, (and what seem to be fake) Adidas trainers. I look up to see her hair in the same style as Brynn, but a little less perfected.

Lexee smiles at me awkwardly.

"I didn't know you were coming." I say bluntly.

"We weren't. We asked Kalani if we could come – and she said yes." Brynn reassures me, obviously worried as to whether or not the alcohol-inflicted me will decide to lash out on them and kick them out or not.

Luckily for them, I keep my cool. "Oh, okay." I say and glare at them before strutting away and leaving the two girls utterly bewildered by the 'new Chloe'.

I reach the decking and am pulled from my tracks almost instantly. My eyes follow the line of the hand that grabs a hold of my wrist and up to the face of the person who I was looking for.

"Hey babe." Ricky chuckles.

I laugh, wriggling my arm free of his grasp.

"You really shouldn't sneak up on me like that. I almost had a heart attack!" I joke, turning away from him and beginning to walk over to where Kalani is talking to some other girls from school.

"Wait up!" I hear Ricky shout from behind me. I turn to face him, a sudden shock coming over me as I find his face about two inches from mine. "Meet me by the house in fifteen minutes." He smiles, not taking his eyes away from mine.

"Will do," I wink, turning away once again and walking over to Kalani.

As soon as I see the three people she's with, my instinct is to turn away and walk straight back to Ricky. But instead I decide to keep going, and pray for the best.
