Then.
I recently heard there was a new girl in town. Called Hannah.
Kat, one of my close friends, told me that she was throwing a party, for her because she was leaving and for Hannah because she was new.
"So, will you come?" Kat asks, as we're eating lunch.
"Fine." I say.
She grins.
"Only because she new, and when you're gone, she might need some protection from the assholes." I say.
She nods.
"Come to Hannah's whenever, I'll text you the address." She says.
I nod.
"Is Zach coming?" She asks.
I shrug.
"Have you asked him?" I asks.
She shakes his head.
"You usually bring him." She laughs.
"True. I'll ask him tonight." I say.
The bell rings.
"Alright, I'll see you tonight?" I ask.
"See you." She says.

When I get home, I text Zach.
My dad is actually at home for once, but he doesn't give a shit what I do.

Me
Hey, there's a party at Kat's tonight, come with mwah?😉

Zach🦄
Yeh, sure. I'm coming round to yours in ten, mkay?😏

Me
Sure😛

I put my phone away and start to get ready.
I do my usual makeup and throw on a casual outfit.
I ain't got no one to impress. Well apart from Zach I guess, but he's seen me at my worst plenty of times.
When I finish my make up Zach walks in.
"Hey" he says.
"Sup" I say.
He laughs.
"Don't ever say that again." He says, flopping onto my bed.
"My dad let you in?" I ask.
He nods.
"Can't believe he's actually home!" He says, sarcastically.
I roll my eyes.
"Even when he is home it's like he's not here." I say.
"When will Ethan be home?" He asks.
"I'm not too sure. Couple weeks or so, thank god. I think I'm dying of boredom alone here." I say.
Zach laughs.
I walk into the bathroom and get changed.

When we arrive to the party we see Justin.
"Hey." I say.
"Hey, El" he says.
Zach and Justin talk for a while, whilst I check out the party.
Then the sprinklers come on.
"Shit." I say, and run away.
I feel Justin pull me back.
"Zach! Tell him!" I shout.
Zach runs up to Justin and tackles him to the floor.
I stand out of the way and then look up to see Kat and some girl looking at us.
I walk up to them.
"Hello." I say.
"Ella, this is Hannah. Hannah this is Ella. She's probably the most amazing person you'll ever meet, after me of course." She says.
We laugh.
"Hey, Hannah." I say.
"Hey."
We then look back at the boys.
"Justin Foley is mine. Zach Dempsey for you." She says to Hannah.
Then Kat looks at me,"although I think Zach has got his eyes on Ella."
I roll my eyes.
"We're just best friends." I say to Hannah.
Hannah raises her eyebrows.
"You sure? From what I can tell he's pretty into you." She says.
I look at her.
"You've literally seen me and him together for 5 minutes." I say.
"Yup, and five minutes is enough to tell he likes you." She says.
They stop play fighting.
"I saved you!" Zach shouts to me.
"My knight in shining armour!" I shout back sarcastically and blow a kiss.
"No, no, no. You're not coming into Hannah's wet." Kat says.
Justin takes his shirt off.
"This better?" He asks.
"Definitely an improvement, but no, sorry." She says.
"But it isn't a party without me." Zach says.
I laugh.
"Go dry off you idiots" I say, laughing.
