"Party?" I asked as Ryan sat down in the bed. He tossed his bag to the side and grinned "When?"

"Tonight. There's a warehouse a few miles out and the football team host a party every few months. The cheerleaders will all go" he said and lay back.

I smirked "What are you wearing?" I asked. He looked down at his grey hoodie and black jeans.

"This" he frowned. "Don't get dressed up. Its a high school party"

I nodded "Ok. I can do that"

"We're going out and I'm taking your car!" I shouted as I grabbed Lucifer's keys off the table. I changed into ripped shorts and a white crop top. I tied the laces on my marroon combat boots.

I heard pounding footsteps and Lucifer glared at me from the doorway "I would take thise keys off you and tell you no but you'll leave anyway. Hurt that car in anyway and I'll kill you and not bring you back from hell"

I laughed "Bye Dad"

"Bye bitch" he chuckled. I shook my head and left the house. Ryan mumbled an uncomfortable goodbye and slipped out behind me. He was still nervous around my father.

I jumped in the car and turned the keys. The soft rumble of the engine made shivers run down my spine. "I'm terrible at directions. Warning you now" I laughed and swerved out of the street "And driving"

The warehouse was on the edge of the lake. The sun had set and most of the light came from the large bonfore set up in the middle of the carpark. Teenagers stood around shouting. Some were singing along to the music blaring in the background.

I stopped the car and looked over at Ryan who had his fingers dug into the leather chairs in fright. "I'm driving home" he said quietly and slipped out of the car.

I giggled and jumped out behind him. I saw a familiar face and pulled Ryan over to Maia. "Maia!" I laughed and hugged her.

She frowned at me and folded her arms. "You got suspended" she stated "And patched me the day after we met"

I giggled "Sorry about that"

She laughed and her expression eased "Glad you came. Did your friend tell you about it?" She asked pointing at Ryan.

I frowned "Boyfriend" I corrected.

"Really?" Ryan laughed "Since when?"

I frowned at him. "Are we, or are we not dating?"

He smirked "I don't know. Are we?"

I scowled "I asked first" He laughed at me "Are you laughing at me?"

"You're cute when you're angry. Do you know that?" He chuckled and touched the end of my nose.

I growled "Not cute" Smirking I began to laugh "And I'm not angry either"

Maia laughed "You two are funny" she said. "But you should probably watch for the creepy guy with blonde hair staring at you"

I turned and caught sight of a tall boy with golden hair and skin like honey. An angel.

I groaned "He's a cousin of mine. Ignore him"

Maia nodded "Ok. I'm not going to ask"

"Good idea" Ryan laughed.
