Getting Attention

11- The Club and Party

3:00 on the dot the bell rings and jail is over. I feel like the first person to hand my finished test to my teacher. As I grab the rest of my things I glance around the room and notice everyone chatting and in the corner, Lauren is once again sucking the face of Zach. Ugh. I couldn't stand those too as I'm rushing down the hall I feel a slight tap on my shoulder and find myself face to face with Zach and Lauren. God the world must hate me. "Hey Jules!" Lauren proudly greets me like we've been bffs since 1st grade.

"Hey." I state as I start to tap my foot and look at my watch.

"Well, Zach and I just wanted to invite you to our party tonight." She hands me a pink invitation as I take with my thumb and finger.

" Thanks....." I say looking disgustingly at the invitation. Lauren smiles and walks away with her royal highness not far behind. I continue my way to the newspaper room to see my real friends and write gossip. "Hey Julie." I smile as my partner in crime, Kyle, greets me. "Hey, guess what I got." I wave the invitation in his face as he grabs it and opens the envelope. I watch him as he reads changing face expressions as he reads. I smile at his cuteness. "Woah, you gotta go!"

"Are you crazy? I'm never going to a party for Zauren." I couldn't believe he actually said I should. We've been writing gossip about them for a month now and now he wants me to party with them"Yeah but we can write about it in the paper. And look, you can bring a friend, A.k.a. bring me." "Yeah but.....I don't even wanna go....." I mumbled back know he was going to force me to go anyway. "Don't cry blue skies and prepare to party tonight. I'll be at your house at 7." He said as he grabbed his bag to leave before I can protest anything, he was gone.

7:00 I heard a knock at my bedroom door. "Come in."

"Hey sunshine." Kyle was like the sun on a cloudy day coming in making me excited to actually go. I noticed what he was wearing and almost drooled at how hot he was. Tight jeans, t-shirt that shows off his abs, and a leather jacket. "How do I look?" I got up and posed for him. "Lookin goood!" He said as he looked me up and down pretending to take pictures of me. I giggled. I thought the dress I was wearing might be a little to short but I guess not. " Ready to go?" He asked as he pointed down the stairs. I nodded as I grabbed my purse and slipped my phone in as Kyle and I hooked arms as we walked down the street to Zach's house.

I can already see all the people there. Some on the porch, balcony, hanging around the house, and in the pool. I almost stopped and backed out, but the tight squeeze from Kyle reassured me. "Don't worry it'll be fun!" "I hope so....." I said.
