It was Friday which meant I was parting with Derek tonight.

"I'll come over and help you get ready before I leave," Jessica smiled.

"Okay thanks. Derek wants me to look 'hot'," I said unsure.

"Oh girl, I got you," Jessica laughed.

I laughed with her as I grabbed my bag and we headed to the Chem lab.

"Hand me the dried ice please," I asked Derek.

He fixed his goggles and put on his gloves before giving me a block,

"Thank you," I said dropping the ice into the cylinder container.

"I'm really excited for tonight," Derek added while taking notes.

I looked into his eyes and smiled, "Yeah, me too,"

I removed my goggles and gloves before finishing up my notes.

I put my lab coat away and grabbed my bag as Derek and I made our way to meet Jessica.

"I don't know what to wear!" I yelled frustrated as I threw my clothes all over my room.

"Maybe a simple dress with some sandals or heels?" Jess suggested.

"Derek said casual because it's a bonfire/pool party," I sighed.

"In September? A pool? I really want to cancel my plans now," Jessica sighed.

"Maybe it's not too late..." I smirked.

"Wait, what are you doing?" She asked as my smirk grew more devious.

"I'll call your mom and beg her like old times," I gave in.

"Then I'll have to stay over at your house for the next few days while they're gone," Jess caught on.

"Yep," I smiled.

She tossed me her phone as I unlocked it with my thumbprint,

I dialed her mom's number before it started to ring. A short moment later I heard her mom's sweet voice on the line.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey Mrs. Fields it's Ava, how are you?" I greeted.

"I'm doing fine, is everything okay?" She asked.

"Oh yeah everything is fine. Jessica is helping me find something to wear to a bonfire," I mentioned.

"Oh that sounds fun, Jessica told you we're driving up to Seattle for a family reunion this weekend right?" She asked.

"Umm yeah I wanted to ask if she could, I don't know maybe come with me to the bonfire?" I asked a little scared.

"Ava, honey I wish she could but we're leaving in a few hours and we won't be back till Wednesday," her mom explained.

"She can stay at my house till you guys get back. Just pleaseeee I really want her to come with me and we'll be 100% safe," I begged.

"Well that doesn't sound like a bad idea... I guess that would be okay," her mom gave in.

"Yessss! Thank you Mrs. Fields also Jessica wants to go because her crush is going and his name is J-," I started before she kept fighting me over the phone.

I held her back until she snatched the phone and talked to her mom,

A few seconds later she hung up and rolled her eyes at me.

"What?" I said laughing.

"Don't ever pull a stunt like that again," She said.

I shrugged and started looking through my closet again.

"Text Derek and tell him you can come," I yelled from the closet.

Jessica was wearing a white bikini underneath black shorts and a white crop top with black vans.

I wore my navy blue bikini with my white shorts, a cropped cami and a flannel with adidas.

Derek was outside and he looked pretty good.

I mean I wanna say hot but that would be awkward.

Maybe he was hot...
