     "Should I wear this dress, or this dress?" I asked Sheri, who was currently laying on my bed. "The red one is so hot, but Justin would think it's too revealing." She stated. "Well, good thing he's not the one wearing it," I giggled, "red it is."

     I saw sheri smiling at something in her phone, I quietly walked over to her and saw a clear view of what she was doing on her phone. I gasped, "Oh my gosh, you and Scotty?!" She quickly covered her phone and got up, "Please don't tell anyone, please!" She begged.

     "Girl chill out, I won't say anything. But I always thought you would end up with someone like Clay." I said, "He told me you guys kissed once and I see the way you look at him."

     "Well, he's not the one I look at. Scott is always with him. But yes, I did kiss clay, but it's a long story," she smiled, "a story for another time, now, let's get you dolled up for your mans."

I ended up getting a ride from Sheri, Alex hasn't texted me back so I'm guessing he's not coming. We arrived at the party and saw that it was already full of drunk teens and other people.

"Who's party even is this?" I asked Sheri, she shrugged, "I'm not sure, some basketball player?"

Sheri locked her arm around me and guided me to the front door, avoiding the drunkies as best as we could. "Jesus, these people are wild." She said, I nodded in agreement.

We entered the party and smell of alcohol, mixed with weed hit our faces. Not the best combination but alright. "Ugh text Justin, see where he's at." Sheri said covering her nose.

Me-
Hey Justin, I'm inside the party . Where are you?

Babe❤️-
We're outside, babe, by the pool

I went to grab Sheri but saw that she was talking to Jessica. Jessica and I aren't the greatest friends. I think she hates me, for being with her ex, but i didn't want to walk in between these people alone. I had no choice but to wait for them to finish.

"That's a interesting choice of dress, where's the other part?" Jessica said, taking a drink of whatever she was drinking, I smiled, "You look great Jessica." I said walking past her and dragging Sheri's hand.

I saw Justin sitting down, by the pool with a drink in his hand. "Hey babe," he said as he saw me, "hey."

We leaned in for what I thought was going to be a peck, but ended up being a make out session. "Okay okay lovebirds, the rooms are upstairs," a boy said, making my face flush in red.

The party wasn't too fun, it was mostly us sitting around, and the boys talking about their season, some of the people in the circle running to go throw up. The regular things. I noticed that Justin was pretty quite on the way back.

     "You're pretty quite babe, what's wrong?" I said not taking my eyes off the road. "I didn't want to tell you anything," he continued, "but you know I don't like you wearing clothes like that. Especially around Bryce."

     I rolled my eyes, "What does this have to do with Bryce? Oh let me guess, it's of something that happened a year ago that you don't want to tell me." I sassed, "it's the same bullshit with you and Alex. Why can't you guys just tell me the fucking truth!" I said hitting the wheel while talking.

     I'm not sure why It bothered my this time, but it did. I know, I'm overreacting at this point.

     "Shut up and just keep driving," he said, taking another sip of his beer.
