Chapter 24 - Parties never end well

*HALEY'S POV*

"Come on Hales, it's harmless!" Jake begs me

"I really don't want to, Jake"

See I didn't really enjoy parties like Jake did. He had one almost every night and soon it got out of hand. He was skipping school because he was hungover and was losing sleep so mum and dad decided to put it to a stop. Knowing that I didn't attend many parties, my parents made a rule that Jake can only go to a party if I go as well, because apparently I'm the responsible child.

"Please" Jake pleads

"Fine"

"Yes!" Jake fist pumps

"But only this once" I say sternly

"You're a life saver haley!" Jake says dramatically, hugging me.

"Ok, ok, get off me now" Jake smiles before nodding and letting me go, walking down the hallway, "Oh and bring a friend if you want" Jake calls over his shoulder before disappearing into his room.

"So you definitely can't come?" I ask Hamish through the phone

"Sorry, I don't want to let Prim down, maybe another time?" he asks

"Yeah, sure. Don't worry about it, Hame, I'll talk to you later"

"See ya Haley"

And with that I hung up, sighing I decided I could call jasmine. Picking up my phone again I dial jasmines number, waiting two rings before her cheery voice filled the phone.

"Hey Haley" she says happily

"Hey Jas, I was wondering, what're doing tonight? I know it's short notice but I really need you"

"Ok, what is it?"

"Come to Amy's party with me?"

"Sorry, Hales, I've got three assignments due this week and mum would kill me if I didn't finish them"

"Oh, ok, don't worry about it, I'll see you at school on monday"

"Sorry again, see ya Haley"

I hung up, sighing again I collapsed on my bed. I could ask Dylan to come.

I call Dylan and after about 5 rings he answers

"Hello?" he pants

"Dylan? hey, it's Haley"

"What's up sunshine?" he says cooly

"Do me a favour?"

"Hmm what is it?" he says suspiciously, his breathing still slightly ragged and uneven.

"Come to Amy's party with me?"

"What time?"

"Around 7?"

"Alright, you want me to come pick you up?"

"Sure, is that alright?"

"I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't" I can imagine him rolling his eyes

"Ok, ok, I'll see you at 7. Thanks"

"No problem. See ya"

I check the time. 5:45pm. Well I still had a fair amount of time before I have to start getting ready.

I could go for a jog with Max? I've been really busy these past few weeks and I haven't been paying that fluff ball a lot of attention. Deciding on the jog, I pull my hair into a high ponytail and put on some leggings and a sports bra. I slip on my runners and a headband and insert my earphones into my ears. I walk downstairs and let Max inside, patting his head, I attach his harness and pull my phone out. Katie will be coming over soon to get ready for the party with me, maybe she'll want to go for a quick jog with me? it would give us a chance to talk more, I think to myself.
