008

I was standing in Camila's house with her and Lauren clutching Lauren's hand as she smiles at me. "don't worry," she whispers to me "I got lost my first couple of times coming here." and I just nodded and clutched her tighter. It was finally the weekend which also meant Camila's party, we had both come over early to help Camila set up, when I asked what we were doing she laughed "Oh nothing, I called a service to do everything, were just getting our make up done and stuff."

"Camila, I hope you don't mind me asking... but how much money does your family have?" I asked sitting down in the living room sofa still holding Lauren's hand and looking around at the high ceilings and fancy glass tables.

"Um...." Camila says "I think about 6.6 billion? My dad owns Range Rover the company? Yeah, we made them."

"Wow." is all I can think to say with wide eyes, I knew Camila had money, but Damn.

"I know," Lauren says, she must of had the same reaction before hand.

"Now, enough about me, let's talk about Zayn, is he coming tonight?"

I nod my head and smile "he said he'll be here if I'm here, and I'm here, so..." I say with my hands up and smiling

"So what happened when you guys left school together?"

"We hung out, and I don't know... It just felt like magic, we talked about art, we talked about music, our future... everything felt right." I said smiling, playing with my fingers, I didn't want to go into too much. It felt like a dream and if I talked about it would fade away like it never happened. Zayn and I also exchanged numbers but I was to shy to actually text him. He promised me that he would come to this party so we could hang out so I could only hope he could get here fast enough.

"But what about you guys? have any guys on your mind?" I say looking over at Lauren who has turned red with a blush and I rose my eyebrows but she smiled and me and shook her head before bringing a finger to her lips with a "shhhh" so I let it be at that. Camz on the other hand just laughed.

"There is one guy that's into me, but I'm trying not to give him any more ideas that he actually has a chance."

"Wow harsh Camz," Lauren says and I nod my head in agreement. Camila just rolls her eyes at both of us.

"Oh whatever," she laughs "it is what it is, now let's figure out what were going wear!"

-

By nine o'clock the whole house was alive with everyone from school, music blasted from everywhere. Someone brought booze so I stayed away from the punch and kept with Lauren, Camila being the social butterfly that she is was lost to Lauren and I.

"I'm betting half of these kids are going to be wasted in an hour, I swear." And I nodded in agreement as we walked around the house looking for some quiet. Lauren lead me to the back of the house and down the stairs.

Lauren and I weren't really party girls and the music wasn't my favorite station and Zayn wasn't here so I was fine with leaving the scene.

"This is the pool room," Lauren says as we hit what looks like an underground water land. The walls were dark brown and looked like a cave while the lights from the pool shinned against them, making everything look blue and beautiful.

"Wow," I say as I look around, the smell of chlorine filling my nose and relaxing me, even though I never learned how to swim I loved the water.

"Isn't it?" Lauren says as she sits down by the water pulling off her shoes. "I love coming down here, Camila doesn't though she says it messes up her hair to much," she laughs and I do too.

"I can't believe he isn't here yet," I say with a sigh "He promised me he was coming but he needs to hurry up."

Lauren smiles at me and sticks her feet in the water closing her eyes "Why don't you give him a call? You have your phone with you?"

I nod and shake my head "too nervous,"

Lauren sighs but smiles anyway, flipping her feet in the water.

"So tell me about the boy you like, come on I saw you blushing earlier." I say pushing on Lauren's arm and she smiles.

"Well... you saw him the other day, remember Niall? Well.... that's him,"

My jaw drops "You like Niall?" I ask in disbelief, Niall was one of Zayn's friends, the blond hair blue eye loud mouth in class? Quiet and sophisticated Lauren had a crush on the class clown?

"Wow," I say smiling once I close my mouth again "I was not expecting that at all."

Lauren nods "i had a feeling,"

"Are you going to do anything about it? Will you talk to him?"

Lauren looks away "I was hoping he'd be here tonight, but hey these parties last until really late at night so I guess I'll have to wait and see,"

"Well them let's go back up and find him!"

-

One and hour and three BEYONCÉ tracks later, Lauren, Camila and I are in the middle of the dance floor which use to be the living room, the sofas and chairs and tables has all been moved out of the way and the crowd was roaring.

Finally the music had changed from bands like The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys to Chris Brown, Sage the Gemini, and of course Beyoncé.

Neither Niall or Zayn had shown up and Lauren and I ended up having a couple of drinks.

"There's no point in being sad, we're at the best party of the summer and we are going to have a good ass time!"

And that was it.

So one hour and three BEYONCÉ tracks later, I was pretty tipsy.

And I was upset, Zayn said he was coming and didn't show up which was such a jerky move, what was the point? he told me I was special and he didn't want to mess us up and then he goes and messes it up? Jerk!

So as the music played i danced away my annoyance and issues and tried to forget Zayn's name, the Starbucks, and stupid muse. Forget everything. just dance.

Fun Fact: I've never been to Starbucks.
