Life Of A Socially Awkward Girl

Chapter 15

Now we had won the semi-final game and there was a party at one of the teams player. I was invited by Logan and so was Blake.

I wasn't as nervous for this party as the last one and that's because I decided I wasn't going to drink. Last time I did I messed some things up.

I put on nice, sleeveless, white crop top with and a black skirt. The look was kind of punk. I had a dark red lip and black platform sandals. My hair was also half up in a messy bun and stuff. I don't know, my mom said it looked 'cute'. I didn't really know if she meant like 'I-want-to-pinch-your-cheeks-cute' or 'you're-going-to-get-laid-tonight-cute.'

But this time I was going to drive so Blake could drink. I borrowed my moms car which was a dark gray Volkswagen Jetta.

I also went to pick up Logan. I picked him up first because he lived closer so he rode in the passenger seat. We exchanged compliments and then Blake came. He told me I looked very nice so I told him he looked very nice as well. Nothing suspicious there. At least not for Logan.

Which was good.

Very good.

I was really starting to like the punk look and wondered if I could wear it on a daily basis but I realised I didn't have patience to put on eyeliner every single morning.

We also picked up Ellie, which was weird because she lived literally two blocks from there.

We came to the house and I was more confident than the last party I went to but maybe that was because Logan was now my boyfriend and he was like kinda popular and stuff.

When we got in, Blake turned to me and said; "I'll talk to you later," and winked. I was confused because he didn't usually talk to me like that. He didn't usually flirt. And he clearly had a bigger confidence. Which was a bit weird. And creepy.

I walked into the crowd with Logan to dance whilst Ellie disappeared to somewhere. I was very bad at dancing, but Logan didn't seem to care. When I spotted Ellie somewhere dancing with another guy I noticed that she was in fact way better than me in everything. Except for being socially awkward.

I was trying to make sure Logan didn't see her as well because he would probably go up to her and dance with her instead.

After like 2 or 3 songs Logan went to get a drink. 

As I waited a guy came up to me. I didn't see his face properly because the lights were flickering in my face and not his. But I noticed that he had black hair and a nice body figure. He was also quite taller than me.

"Hey you wanna dance?" he asked loudly to block out the music.

"Um, no I'm here with somebody else, I'm sorry," I replied.

And he said; "Oh, shit, right you're that Logan girl, Ellie or something."

Ellie? I got very confused. Was Logan really cheating on me? Did he really talk more about her than about me to his friends? "It's Lucy actually."

"Oh, sorry, catch you later," he smiled ready to walk off but I stopped him.

"Wait."

He looked at my hand where I had grabbed his arm. He wasn't one of those all bulked up guys. He was very normal and I liked that.

'Okay not now, Lucy, you do not need another cheat.'

I thought about letting him go but I had already stopped him.

"Why did you say Ellie?"

He paused. "Uh, I don't know. Gotta go."

"No, wait," I grabbed his arm again. "Does he talk more about Ellie than me?"
