Promises

Chapter 5

In the car, Sierra introduces me to new types of music. After a twenty minute dirve, we arrive at the house where the party is.

"Ready?" Sierra asks. "Sure." I respond quickly.

"Alright." she smiles. I try to push the thought of my mom's reaction when she finds out I went to a senior party away, and try to prepare myself for a 'good' time.

***

Once we are inside I see how right I was. I was expecting total chaos, and what do I see in here? Chaos. I suddenly don't feel so well. Everything comes back to me. I imagine what my mom will do to me.

"Uh, where's the bathroom?" I ask very quickly. Sierra has a startled look on her face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, but I have to... pee." I add.

"Okay. Um, let me ask someone," she motions for me to stay put, then wanders off somewhere. As I look around I start to feel worse. Forget this, I need to go.

I run upstairs and run into a random room without thinking, and shut the door behind me. Luckily, nobody is in the room right now. I sit on the edge of the bed and try to calm myself down.

I look around the room and notice a big bookshelf in the corner of the room. I don't stop myself, I get up and go to the shelf. I love books, so might as well just look.

I read some of the book titles: Hunger Games, Matched, Divergent, The Fault in our Stars, Everyday, City of Bones, Harry Potter.

Woah. I've read almost all the books on this shelf, and fallen in love with them. It suprises me that a senior would have time to read fictional books and so many of them too.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" I hear a boys voice ask  Uh oh.

I turn around quickly, to see none other than prettyboy.
