party?

B L I S S  D O W N E Y

KAY watches me as she sits on the bed, her eyes wide and her lip pursed out. "C'mon Bliss, it will be fun!"

"I have to study Kay," I tell her slowly, looking up from my computer to her. She rolls her eyes and plops back down on the bed. She stares at me with her bright eyes and gets a twitch in the left one. I recoil a little. 

"Bliss, your coming."

"Why?"

"Because Cruz is upset about his mom and I need you to cheer him up." My mouth and throat instantly tighten. Recently, Cruz's mom fell and hurt herself really bad. I never met his mother before, but based on how much Cruz cares for her, she must be one hell of a woman. Not to mention it's also his mother we are talking about. Kay throws her hands up and clamps them back onto her face.

"This is peer pressure you know," I sigh. Slowly, I shut my computer and get off my bed. My hair flows down my back and my nose looks red right now because of stupid allergies. 

"Your coming?" Kay bounces off the bed and comes five inches from my nose with her. Her eyes are wide with excitement and she holds a huge smile on her face. I roll my eyes, but nonetheless, nod. She jumps back and throws her hands in the air. "Hell yes! Cruz is going to be so happy."

"Yeah yeah, but Im not wearing a dress." I open my drawer, and pull out some jean shorts. I slide them on and turn around to see Kay thinking. I tilt my head as I grab a shirt that fits me well. "What?"

"Hold on," Kay comes toward me, and suddenly her hands are on my jean short sides and shes lifting them up. My thighs die as the jean shorts go higher and higher until they are almost past my belly button. 

"Whoa!" I yelp and jump back when Kay has pulled them up all the way. Kay gives me a devious smile and runs a hand through her hair. 

"There, now you look hotter." I send her a look and just about pull my shorts back on over my hips, when Kay slaps me gently in the face. I stare at her in stuck silence, then hold my face.

"Ow," I emphasize the word, and narrow my eyes at her. "Kay!"

"Sorry. But don't pull them down."

"B-but, so much skin." Kay waves her hand like it is nothing and backs away from me to grab something. I touch the end of my shorts but stop when a thought crosses my mind. Cruz is going to be there. What if he likes my shorts like this? I would most likely be more appealing to him. Kays idea with my shorts might make him closer to me. Not that Cruz and I aren't close, though. We actually became really close friends over the past weeks. I feel like our relationship is better than his and Noah's. We just connected. 

"So the party starts at nine, I think, and we are meeting Noah in the central campus area. Cruz too. And it is eight so I think we shoulder hurry." 

"You think?" I raise an eyebrow and instantly move. I run to the bathroom and start to apply some makeup that Ive grown accustomed to wearing. 

Sooner than later, Kay and I are locking the dorm room and piling out into the hall. We walk down it, me in my boots, and Kay in some heels that look painful on her feet. With matching nails, Kay is sprouting a black shirt and some jeans. Her hair is thrown up into a tight ponytail, and her eyes have wings coming out of them. She looks really pretty right now. 

Im just wearing the uncomfortable jean shorts and a mid length sleeve shirt that is maroon. I like my shirt, yet my shorts are bothering me. Cruz, I think, Cruz will like them. That's the only thing keeping me from pulling these shorts back down so they reach my mid thigh like normal. But what is he doesn't like them?

A lump forms in my throat. It shouldn't matter what he thinks of me. I swore off boys. But Cruz is so nice and...and just amazing. I love Cruz. I just cant figure out if its a friend love, or love love.

Don't be mad. Im sorry for this late update. Like...way late. But again, Im sorry. I had a family vacation of sorts. This completely slipped my mind. Oh, Im also sorry for the short chapter. But I swear the next chapter will be good. I actually think I'll write two chapters for after this one. 

Anyway, hope you enjoyed. Adios!
