I pacing back and forth in my room. I was anxious. I looked at the clock on my night stand— 6:52PM. I've still got an hour til party starts. I finally stopped pacing and went over to my closet. I should probably start getting dressed. I had already asked Grayson if I needed to dress anyhow fancy and he refused so I could simply pick something nice out of my closet. I stared at my tops, then jeans, going over to my shoes, and finally landing on few dresses hanging. I lips suddenly twitch into a smile.

          I grabbed a lose white full-sleeve shirt and threw it on my bed. I struggled a bit to pull out a skirt that was placed below my regularly used jeans. "When did I buy this? " I asked myself as I stared at the skirt, then throwing it over too. Lastly I grabbed a loose over-sized denim jacket which was hanging on the door of my closet and threw it over too.

      Happy with my outfit, I stepped into the shower and let my muscles relax. I smiled as the water hit my body and closed my eyes peacefully. The peace only lasted for a minute though, the moment I closed my eyes the question struck again. What would I tell Abby?

        I felt angry, frustrated, hype and nervous at the same time. I stepped out of my bathroom and dried myself. I picked my phone to call Abby but stopped my actions. Abby's reaction to Grayson texting me was clear enough that she didn't approve me and Grayson. Whether if was because she had a crush on him, or she just cared much.

       She opened my messages with Grayson, maybe he can help? I mentally slapped myself.

It's Grayson, Eileen, Grayson.

       I sat on my bed. I needed to do something. I checked the time, 7:32 PM. I need to do something quickly. At last after spending what seemed life an hour thinking, I sighed, giving up and opened my conversation with Abby:

Smartass Abbs 💕

Going to a family
dinner. Can't use phone
there 😒

ttyl love ya

I've never lied to Abby. Well, maybe I had, but it was never this big a lie. It wasn't about the party really, but the whole Grayson thing in general. The fact that lying had become so common, I was lying almost everyday about why I went extremely early to my chemistry class, why I seemed so lost during lunch, why I was always on iMessages everytime Abby peeked...

       I tried hard to keep my mind from over thinking while I dressed. Even when I was walking to Grayson's house, which was not so far away, I had to keep my earphones in and humming to the songs to avoid my thoughts.
 

       
       When I reached his house, however, the thought completely disappeared from my mind as I was welcomed by loud music and the whole sophomore year. The sight of the party made me smile.
