Nothing but Clickbait...Right

"Socially Awkward not a smooth talker, but once you get to know me I've got so much more to offer"

I walked over to the kitchen counter and answered my phone. " hello?"

"Hey Claire wanna hang out tonight?"

"Oh umm I can't I have plans."

"With who Black Mirror and a tub of ice cream?"

"Wow how rude...but you're right"

"Okay so will you go out with me"

"I don't know Liza I was looking forward to tonight."

"You do that almost every night."

"Yeah but... whatever Liza." I hung up putting my ohone back in the counter and jumped back into the couch pressing play on "shut up and dance". After about two seconds there was a knock on the door. Ughhhhhhhb I have to get up... again? Once I opened the door I lost all hope of my comfortable ice cream filled evening. "Damnit Liza"

"Yup," she nodded "get dressed"

I reluctantly complied and went to the room knowing I didn't have much of a choice. I sat on the bed. "So where are we going today?"

"A party"

"Oh no Liza you know I don't do partys"

"Exactly," she looked at me with a smile that was kind of getting scary. "Come on now get dressed"

I got dressed and looked in the mirror. I don't look half bad. I had on high rise mom jeans, a tucked in Polaroid t shirt, and some low rise white converse. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be...I guess."

"Good now lets go"

We left my small apartment and headed to the party . I had butterflies on my stomach, and not the good kind. I never really liked party's. I always felt like I ruined them for some reason, even though I know I didn't. There was always just a voice in the back of my head yelling at me everything I was doing wrong...it's not healthy, but I don't tell anybody about it. I don't do anything about it..maybe I should. 

"Claire. Claire. Claire!" Liza looked at me concerned.

I snapped back into reality, "oh sorry"

"We're here"

I opened the car door and walked outside. I was outside a gigantic house with a gigantic amount of anxiety. "Well this should be fun" I mumbled under my breath but Liza heard me.

She patted my back, "it will, trust me"

I nodded and we started to walk to the door. There goes those butterflies again...fun.

We walked in and I immiediatly got smacked in the face by the smell of alcohol on the air. Holy fuck was it strong. The music was too loud to even hear my thoughts. Maybe that was a good thing. 

We got to the living room and I sat down on the couch while Liza grabbed me a drink. I looked around and thought to myself. This party was different, but in a good way. It wasn't like those annoying high school party's where everyone is drunk, dancing, and/or both. Most of it were people just talking to each other. There was still dancing and people drink but not as many as I expected. 

Liza handed me my drink and I took a sip. It was so strong I started to cough. "What the hell liza are you trying to get me laid?"

Liza laughed. "Too strong?" 

I nodded.

"Here have mine"

She handed me her drink and I took a sip. Beer. Much better.

"Come on lets go meet people!" I coughed and Liza yanked me off the couch.

We met Zane and Heath first and immiediatly became best friends with them. I them met Kristen and Scotty and I noticed that Scotty and I had a lot in common. Liza dragged me outside where you could see almost all of LA. It was beautiful. (I don't even know if David has a pool but in this story regardless he does:)) I walked over to the pool and looked in...water always kind of calmed me, even though meeting all these nice people did the same. After a while I heard some shouting and looked over to the other side of the pool. There was a shaggy haired boy with a video camera in his hand and Scotty. 

"Will this get me in the vlog?" I heard Scotty ask.

The shaggy haired boy nodded with a smile. "Yes!"

Scotty threw an inflatable donut into the pool, took a couple steps back and ran, truing to jump on the middle. Once Scotty hit the water the water hit me. All over. I was soaked, head to toe, drenched in water. I heard faint muffled laughing from all the water in my ear and then it stop. I wiped my eyes from the chlorine and looked out. Scotty was out from under the water and looked at me. 

"Oh my god, Claire I'm so sorry." Scotty got out of the pool to give me a hug but noticed that wouldn't help.

The shaggy haired boy and around the pool. "Holy shit, I didn't see you there. You're soaked."

"Well yeah kinda" I chuckled.

He laughed too. "Do you want me to get you some dry clothes?"

"Ugh...yes please." 

He led Me to his room and gave me a towel. "Are you okay with guy clothes?"

"Yeah" I said still smiling from the pure ridiculousness of the situation. I don't know why, but I feel strangely comfortable around him.

He grabbed a sweatshirt that said David's vlog on it and some Sweats from his closet and handed them to me. He smiled then thought. "Are you gonna need like underwear or something?" 

"No I should be fine thanks" I grabbed the clothes then headed to his bathroom. I quickly changed them and stepped out. He was looking through his camera watching the footage he just shot of Scotty. He grinned at the video as I sat down next to him still drying my hair. He put his camera down on the bed and turned to me. "Yeah sorry about that. We didn't even see you."

"It's okay it was pretty funny." He smiled again, but this time I actually got to get a good look at him. He was...super cute, like hot cute ;) "so who's David" I asked looking down at the sweatshirt

"I am. And you are."

"I'm Claire"

"That's a pretty name"

"Yours too" wait what the hell did I just say?

He laughed knowing my mistake.

My phone rang and saw Liza's contact. I picked it up and answered. "Hello?"

"Hey where are you?"

"In David's room"

"Ooooooooo Claire's getting it on!"

"Oh my god Liza...just...what do you want?"

"I think I'm gonna leave soon and wanted to see if you needed a ride."

"Oh yes please I'll be right there."

I hung up and David and I walked back out to the living room. I found Liza, hugged everyone, said goodbye, then headed out. We got into the car and headed back to my apartment.
