The Party {1}

Saturday...

Since I've decided to keep the mouse, which seems kinda weird, I just stare at it when I wake up. I take a shower and I put on a tied up flannel and jeans. I sit down on the couch eating Lucky Charms and watching different videos on YouTube (because I don't really watch tv). I sure hope Natalie isn't at the party tonight. Natalie is kinda like my bully. She says I act like something else (can't say) but I say she's rude because she doesn't except me for who I am. Natalie and I used to be friends, but she broke our own relationship just trying to be "cool" and "funny" for other people by talking about me.

Well enough of that.

Bestie Luke🌻💕😂~

*Come here.*

*Outside?*

*Yeah.*

Well okay then. I walk outside. "Hello." He says. "Do you need something?" I ask. "Well first, you look beautiful, and second, let's go out for lunch." He says. "Well thanks and sure. I'd love to." I say. "Let's go then." He says. "Where to?" I ask. "Wherever you'd like." He says getting into the car. I sit next to him and smile at him. I've liked Luke for a while now, but I just don't want to ruin our long friendship. "So..." he says. "Let's go to..." "don't you dare say it." He says. "Well you said I could choose wherever, so I'm just gonna choose... Cheesecake Factory." I say. "What? What ever happened to Starbucks?" He says. "I just want you to try something new." I say. "Well it better be good cheesecake." He says and drives. He searches up where it is on his iPhone.

"Woah, this place is huge and beautiful." He says.

"Yeah. Let's order." I say.

The waitress takes us to our table and brings us some water. "Well I love this table." I say. "Why are you sitting across from me?" He says playfully. "I don't know." I say. "I feel cold and lonely over here." He playfully says. I sit next to him. "Yay I'm warm." He says. "Cool." I say. We order our food and wait like 30 minutes for our food.

"Rach?" Luke begins to say.

"Yes Luke?" I ask.

"What if Natalie's at the party tonight?" He asks me. Just what I was thinking earlier.

"I'm just gonna ignore her with earbuds and my phone." I say.

"No, you'll ignore her by dancing with me." He smiles.

"That's sweet." I say smiling back at him. I look too deep in his "brighter than the ocean" blue eyes. Then he looks too deep into my eyes. "Oh here's the food." I say killing our moment.

"Thanks... Sara?" I ask/say. "Yeah. And your welcome." She says and walks away.

...

"Damn I'm so full." Luke says.

"I know right." I say.

We stop by my house since it not 7 yet. It's only 6:29. "We should be leaving in about 30 more minutes." Luke says. "And don't worry, it's my great friend Calum's party." Luke adds. "Yeah. Calum's a good friend of mine too." I say.

7:00~

We get to Calum's house and I hear my jam (The Ready Set- Give Me Your Hand). "Let's go dance to this song like now." I say to Luke yanking his arm. Luke and I say hi to Calum first and we go dance and of course, I see Natalie. I just ignore her and Luke and I just dance. "Well this is fun so far." He says. "Want something to drink?" He asks me. "No thanks. I don't drink." I say. "Fine I'll give you some fruit punch or whatever there is without alcohol." He laughs. I laugh along with him and I take a quick seat on the couch.

"Having fun love?" Calum asks me.

"Yeah. Nice lights." I say.

"Thanks. I'm gonna go play some stuff. Wanna join?" He asks me.

"Um... I'll think on that one." I say.

"Okay." He says and goes to sit down at the little group circle.

"Here you go. Let's just sit here and talk." Luke says handing me my drink. "What do you want to talk about?" I ask. "I don't know." He says. "Let's talk about you Rachel." I hear a voice say. "Yeah. If love to hear about what's going on in your life. Ooh I know! You got fucked by Luke." She smiles. "Wow! I'd never imagine you losing your virginity to a hot guy like Luke. I mean. I wouldn't imagine a HOT guy to lose your virginity." She says looking impressed. "I didn't do that with Luke." I say. "Babe it's okay." Luke says. "Oh yeah. Then why does he call you babe?" She asks. "That's my nickname for her." Luke says. "Can you get away from us and go lol for other guys like you always do?" Luke says. "Fine. You two "Fuckbuddies" have a nice night." She says and leaves. I already want to leave, but I want this night to be about Luke and I. I don't want some prick to ruin my night with my best (guy) friend.
