Meeting Mr.Simpson

Chapter 3

The bell rang, signalling the end of the day. I pushed through the crowds to meet Ellie as soon as possible. She was where we always met.

'ELLIE!' I shouted

'What?!' Confusion spread across her face.

'Brad invited us to a party!' A smile crept across my face.

'Eeeek' we squealed together.

Brad was getting a lift home so me and Ellie took the bus together, debating about which dress to wear.

The rest of the week ran past, and Friday was soon here. We got the bus back, eager to get ready.

We arrived home and ran upstairs to start getting ready. Luckily my parents were working late so we had the house to ourselves. I straightened her hair for her whilst she did her make-up. I decided to curl my hair and tie the top half into a bow. For makeup I just filled in my eyebrows, applied winged eyeliner, mascara and a nude lipgloss.

Ellie decided to wear a backless skater skirt, she looked stunning. I opted to wear a white crop top and high waisted denim shorts, knee length socks and some old converse. I felt underdressed, but I stayed in the outfit.

We walked up Brads street, and we could already hear the music. We were some of the first to arrive. Brad greeted us and introduced us to his band members. I could tell he'd already started drinking.

'You have a band?' I asked.

'Theres a lot you don't know about me' he winked.

I turned around to see Ellie talking to, I think he was called James? I could tell she liked him a lot. Not really knowing many people, I decided to go and get a drink. The bar was in a corner and not many people were there. I felt two hands on my hips, pushing my through a door into a small room. Once we were inside I turned around to see who it was. I could just make out his soft curls before I felt his lips on mine.

Before I knew it, we were back outside and he was gone. I was confused? I decided to drown my thoughts in alchohol, and soon I was with the others dancing. I had no idea where brad, Ellie or James were.

I decided to go and find brad, and ask him what had just happened. I walked up stairs and opened the first door I saw. Brad was sat with his back to me, but that wasn't the surprising bit. The surprising bit was that he was sat next to a girl, holding her hand.

'I love you' I heard her say.

'You too' He said.

They began to lean forward when brads eye caught mine. I walked off before I could see anything else. Tears began to roll down my face. Why was I so upset? It's not like we're dating. I opened another door and stopped in my tracks. Sat on James's lap was Ellie.

'Oh, um , I-I'm sorry' I stuttered, reversing out of the door.

Damn. This night wasn't planning out the way I wanted it to. I text Ellie saying that I was going home. I grabbed my jacket and walked out the front door.

I was half way down the street when someone grabbed my hand and turned me round. I was met with tearful eyes, reflecting the stars.
