Until we meet again (Currently editing)

A date and a party

Katherine's POV

Once Daniel had informed me of a really crazy party at a fellow classmates house, I rushed home to get ready.
I went through possible outfits and eventually chose a stripy black and white top, some black ripped shorts, and my black lace flat shoes.
I straightened my hair and applied some mascara and red lipstick.
I made sure my phone was in my bag before going downstairs to wait for Daniel and Joe who were coming with me.
Mum saw me as she came out of the living room. She narrowed her eyes. 'Where are you going?'

'A party. Is that okay?' I asked.

She smiled. 'Yes, that's fine honey. I'm glad you're becoming more social.'

I rolled my eyes. 'Yeah, yeah. Bye​ mum.'

'Bye Katherine.'

I went outside. The sky was just darkening.
'Hey, K!' Daniel and Joe arrived.

'Hey guys.' I grinned. 'Let's go.'

Nick's POV
I arrived at Rebecca's and knocked on the door.
Her mum answered. 'Oh hi Nick. Come in. She'll be down in a minute.'

I followed her into the living room and waited.
'Rebecca is really excited.' Mrs Hall said.
'That's nice.' I said. 'So am I.'
Actually, in truth I wasn't. I'd rather be at the party that Katherine, Daniel and Joe were going to. Daniel had texted me not long ago to say that they were all going to a party.
But I wasn't going to ditch Rebecca now.
At that moment, Rebecca came downstairs. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous in a short light pink dress with matching heels and her hair was braided and pinned up at the back.
'Hi.' I smiled. 'You look... Amazing.'

'Thanks.' She blushed. 'So do you.'

Katherine's POV
9:34pm
I went to the kitchen to get another drink. My biggest goal tonight was to get drunk and forget Nick. He was on his stupid date, he didn't give a crap about me.
I got a can of Strongbow; Dark Fruit and opened it then took a gulp.

'Hey Katherine.'

I nearly choked, startled. I looked up. Oh. It was Austin Hoffman.
'Oh, Austin, hi.' I said. 'You made me jump.'

'Sorry.' He smiled. 'And what's with the Austin crap? Call me Hoffman, everyone does.'

'Sorry.' I smiled. Was he teasing me?

'So, what's up with you? You never called me back.' He said.

'Oh, I lost your number.' I lied. 'Sorry.'
The truth was, I just threw it away after Jess warned me to stay away from him. Not that I cared about what she said. 

'It's alright, here you go.' He got a small piece of paper out his pocket and handed it to me. It had his number on it.

I raised an eyebrow. 'Do you carry copies of your number wrote down everywhere you go?'

'Only for parties. You never know who you might run into.' He winked.
I giggled. I was really starting to warm up to Hoffman.

Nick's POV
9:40pm
I leaned back in my chair. 'So, Miss Rebecca Hall, I've told you about myself. Your turn.' I said flirtatiously.
She smiled coyly. 'Mr Clarke, are you flirting with me?' She pretended to look shocked.

'Oh no, not flirting, just being a gentleman.' I gave her my best charming smile.

'Well it's working!' She laughed. 'Okay... I'm an only child, like you. We have a black cat called Surla. My favourite colour is pink. Stereotypical, I know.' She looked embarrassed. 'Erm, I don't know. What do you want to know?'

'How about...' I paused. 'Your favourite kind of takeaway.'

'Chinese, definitely.' She said.

'Oh, that's a shame, mine is Italian.' I smiled. I suddenly remembered that Italian was Katherine's​ favourite too. She'd told me when we were ordering takeaway whilst working on her science project.
I frowned. Stop thinking about Katherine, Nick. You're on a date with Rebecca.
I focused my attention back to Rebecca.

'Well Italian is my third favourite.' Rebecca said.

'Third. Is that all?' I pouted, teasing her. She laughed.

Daniel's POV
10:33pm
Katherine dragged me into the living room where everyone was dancing. 'C'mon Danny, let's dance!'
She was most definitely pissed now. But I found it hilarious. Come to think about it, I was a bit pissed myself.
We entered the living room and started dancing to Berzerk by Eminem.

'And let yourself go! Let yourself go! I say fuck it, before we kick the bucket! Life's too short to not go for broke!' Katherine shouted out the lyrics. 'Sing with me Danny!'
We both rapped the next verse even though we were both getting it wrong. By the end of the song we were on the floor, laughing.
'I love this song!' She yelled as the next song came on. It was Want U Back by Cher Lloyd.

At the chorus, Katherine got onto the table and danced on there.
I was not exaggerating when I said that all and I mean, all the guys in the room were suddenly staring at Katherine. Some even whistled.
Skylar got onto the table (Why did she come to the party?) next to Katherine and started dancing with her.
I shook my head in amusement. I noticed Hoffman in the crowd watching Katherine in admiration.
Wow. Austin Hoffman, the guy who was very choosy about his girls had actually noticed Katherine.

'She's changed a lot, hasn't she?'
I turned. The guy who'd appeared next to me was Jamie, a friend of mine.
'What?' I frowned.

'Katherine.' He gestured to her (she was still dancing on the table with Skylar). 'I thought she was a nerd and an anti-social recluse. She's really come out of her shell, hasn't she?'

'Yeah.' I had to agree.

'Not to mention she's hot. I'd fuck her any day.' He continued​. 'Anyway, catch you later dude.' He left the room.

Katherine and Skylar were still dancing.
I looked at the time. It was getting late and her mum was going to get worried.
I went over and gently pulled Katherine off the table so she wouldn't fall over. She did stumble a bit so I caught her. 'C'mon K, time to go.' I said.

'Aww c'mon Dan, I'm havin' fun!' She protested. 'Come dance!' She tried to go back to the living room but I pulled her to the door.

'I hate you.' She slurred, glaring at me.

'Hmm, sure.' I laughed.

'Dick. Twat. Fuckwit. Fucktard. Wanker. Son of a bitch.' She called me all the names under the sun.

I just laughed.

When we reached her house, I had to knock because Katherine couldn't even stand up straight.
Her mum answered. 'Katherine! What on earth-?' She looked at me questioningly.

'I'm sorry Mrs Calvin, she had a bit too much to drink.' I explained.

'Teenagers.' She sighed, shaking her head. 'Thanks for looking after her Daniel.'

'No problem. Here, I'll help her upstairs.' I offered. She moved aside so I helped Katherine inside and then upstairs​.
We got into her room and I gently placed her on her bed. I realised she'd fallen asleep.
I closed her door quietly and went back downstairs.
Mrs Calvin was waiting in the hall.
'She's asleep.' I told her. 'Bye Mrs Calvin.'

'Thanks lad. Have a good night.' She said.
I nodded and left.
