Emily's POV
...
I snuck Eva into the house with me after getting out of the car, the lights in our house were off, so I assumed that mom and dad were asleep. This was the perfect chance for bringing Eva inside without them noticing her attire. I slowly closed the door and wince when it made a squeak, then took Eva's hand and tiptoed to the stairs. I gasped letting Eva's hands fall to her side and looked at her with wide eyes. She looked confused at me and looked up o see what it was that scared me.
It was Mom....
I heard her gasp as well.
"Young lady, were have YOU been all this while? Dressed up like that?" My mom said in  a deadly voice.
"Uh...mom...I wa-" I cut off Eva immediately.
"Mom, she came to the party WITH me, I was the one who compelled her even though she didn't want to go" I sighed and tried to look defeated.
A look of confusion passed over my mom's face. "But I thought that the party was only for 8th graders?"
"Yeah it was, but a lot of the middle schoolers crashed it and we knew they were going to, so I just thought why not bring Eva too." I shrugged.
My mom seemed to accept the reason I gave her and told us to change into our night dress so that we can eat something.
Eva refused her offer, which made mom more suspicious.
I was very hungry, but for Eva's sake I had to lie once again.
"Oh, mom. Actually we ate at a restaurant, Paige's father paid the money."
Mom pursed her lips and nodded "ok girls, just make sure you go to bed fast. I don't want you two to stay up any longer" then she walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Once I made sure that she was in her room, I pulled open the fridge and took out the left over pizza in it and started microwaving it.
"I'm sorry Emi, for all the lies you had to tell mom"
I turned around to look at her, she really did look sorry.
"Hey! Don't worry about that, we are sisters. We are here for each other, right?" I asked smiling at her.
A slight smile spread across her face.
"So! Anyway, how was you date?" I asked wriggling my eyebrows.
She started blushing lightly "oh, that, it was...uh...Amazing"
I walked to her and stood right in front of her "nope! I want details. Details!"
She giggled "ok, ok! Max was being such a gentle man, he took me to the top of the kissing bridge and....and..."
I narrowed my eyes playfully, knowing what was coming "and?"
I was more than shocked to hear it. I mean, my sister got her first kiss at the age of 11.
"Please don't make me say it! You know exactly what would've happened!" She murmured.
"Ok, go on" I urged her.
"Well, after that he took me to this restaurant nearby which had a very beautiful view of the garden, it was fully decorated with lights and stuff. There were even butterflies flying around in the restaurant. And that's when you called me, while finishing our dinner. I was more than sad when you said we had to go, but do you know what he said while saying goodbye?"
"What?" I asked.
"He asked me on another date" my eyes widened.
"Wow! You are 11 and you have already got your first date, in fact you are going on another one, but I still haven't even talked to a guy properly yet!" I whined.
She panicked "hey! Shush! Mom might wake up" 
"Whatever!" I took out the pizza and bit into it. My stomach started thanking me instantly.
I gobbled up the 3 slices of pizza in a few minutes.
"Maybe because, you eat worse than a pig?" She smirked.
"Huh?" I asked while the pizza was still in my mouth.
"No,guy ever talked to you because you eat worse than a pig" she said and giggled.
I slowly placed my box on the kitchen island and ran around to get to her. She laughed and ran faster and up the stairs. I stomped my foot and huffed.
I looked at the digital clock on the wall above the refrigerator. It was 12:35am. I was grateful that this party was not on a school day. I wonder at what time the others in the party will reach their houses, their parents must be upset. Not that I care.
I finished the box of pizza and threw it in the bin outside the house and locked the door. I turned off all the lights and went to bed.
I wasn't able to sleep, Adrian's face kept floating in my mind, I wasn't able to get rid of his voice, his eyes, HIM.
I sat up frustrated, I felt bad for behaving like that. I was almost rude, I must've hurt his ego.
So I reached out for my laptop on my nightstand and opened it. The bright light made my eyes squint, so I adjusted the brightness and reached for my glasses. After adjusting it, I logged into Facebook, this is what I did when I can't sleep. There were a ton of pictures posted from tonight's party. I ignored all of them and opened my notifications, a lot of them were game invites and some junk, my heart skipped a beat once my eyes came across one notification. Adrian accepted my friend request.......just a couple of minutes ago. I gulped and opened my chat icon, to make sure if he was really online. My eyes widened, he was ONLINE!!!!
I opened the chat box and typed a 'hi'
And I deleted the message, ugh! He will think that I was waiting until he accepts my request and immediately message him. He will think that I am desperate. But I really had to apologise for my actions tonight. So I typed out something more convincing.
'HEY, I'M SURE YOU REMEMBER ME. I WANTED TO APOLOGISE FOR JUST LEAVING THE PLACE WITH OUT ANY REASON. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOU, IF I WAS YOU I WOULD'VE HATED MY GUTS TOO'
And I clicked send and bit my lip while waiting for a reply. He hasn't seen the message yet, so I waited patiently. Minutes passed, I started to get nervous, I panicked. He must think that I was one desperate girl.
Then I sighed and was going to log out, but I got a message. My heart beat accelerated as I opened the message, 'HI, HOW CAN I FORGET YOU. AND YEAH, APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED, YOU GOTTA EARN IT.'
Wow......bitchy much? I have thrown my pride and apologised to him and he just throws it away? Well, two can play this game...
'YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?' I asked.
After a minute or less he replied 'HMM.... LET'S SEE..... I WANT A HUGE DAIRY MILK COCOLATE'
Ummm I was speechless, is he a kid? Seriously? I rolled my eyes. Wow! He really is as immature as the girls told me.
'YEAH OK, ANYTHING ELSE? -_-' I asked.
I got an instant reply 'NOPE! BUT IF I NEEDED ANYTHING ELES, THEN ILL ASK YOU SOMEOTHER TIME. ;)'
A winky face? I rolled my eyes.
I received another message after that from him.
'SO YEAH, YOU OWE ME....'
Yeah right! I'm gonna ignore him anyway after going to school, plus what makes him think that he will have something to do with me after all?
'K BYE, GOOD NIGHT :) '
'OK BYE 👋 '
I logged out after that and closed my laptop, then I placed my glasses and my laptop on my nightstand. A warm feeling spread throughout my body, he wasn't so bad after all......
And with that thought, I drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

Adrian's POV
...
I honestly didn't think that she would chat with me after what happened at the party.
I tried to keep the conversation light and funny, I was actually glad that she apologised since she hurt my ego pretty badly.
But, I know that I hadn't lied, I thought that she was one of the most prettiest girl tonight. Hen I first saw her the first thing I thought was how innocent she was, standing alone next to a pair of swings in that pretty black dress. Her hair looked so soft as it flowed down to her waist, and most interesting thing was her eyes. Her eyes were a very beautiful dark sapphire blue colour, it wasn't hard to see her eyes in the dark since it shone brightly.
I sighted and glanced at my watch, it was too late and I had Soccer practice tomorrow morning at 7. I put my phone aside and stretched. Falling asleep was hard as my mind kept drifting off to the images of those sapphire blue eyes and the flowy brown hair.
Somehow I fell asleep....dreaming about her.

I know that it is a very short chapter, but I hope you enjoy it.
