I woke up quite late the next morning, wiping my eyes in adjustion.
I peered at my surroundings to notice my friends sitting in a circle playing multiple rounds of spoons, and Billie on the phone seemingly excited about something.
"Wait bro for real?" She exclaimed, disbelief overcoming her features.
"Shit, that's dope!" She yelled again. She seemed to be so excited with whatever the person on the other line was saying.
I was greatly intrigued now.
My attention returned to my friends, who were all doubling over with excessive laughter.
My eyebrows scrunched.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing!" They all responded in unision. They then broke down into another fit of laughter before returning to their game.
"Yo dude you wouldn't believe what just fucking happened." Billie said.
We all turned our heads to her expectantly.
She laughed.
"Not now. You have to wait until the party."
Groans came from all around the room.
I giggled and got up from the floor.
"Where can I eat?" I asked.
Billie gestured for me to follow her. She led me to the kitchen where her mother, Maggie seemed to be cooking something.
I had met Maggie the night before when we had arrived and I adored her sweet nature.
"Mom you didn't have to cook us food." Billie whined, nothing but gratefulness on written on her face.
"It's for me..." Maggie replied slowly, seemingly forgetting about the eight hungry teenagers living among her.
-------------------------
Billie actually ended up cooking for everyone, which I didn't know she could do.
It did take her centuries though so it was about three when we actually ate.
"So the party starts at eight but we need to be there by six for introductions n' shit." Billie explained, mouth stuffed with eggs.
Murmers of agreement erupted from the table.
"Hey Bil, where's your brother" Cierra asked.
As she asked this, her cheeks turbed a bright red and she tried to hide it.
I noticed however and sent her an obnoxiously wide smile to which she flipped me off in response.
"I dunno." She replied nonchalantly.
Cici visibly deflated at the response.
I picked up my phone and scrolled through my feed. I got tons of questions requesting me to cover different songs they liked and I saved the comments, keeping ideas in mind.
I viewed the comments on the picture I had previously posted.
user: cute girls!
user1: aw aesthetic!
user2: not even that creative..
user3: where are you?
I then noticed a comment from Billie.
wherearetheavocados: send me this
And everything went downhill.
user4: @avalonhigh you were with billie!?
user5: holy-
user6: OMG
I facepalmed. Now everyone and their mother is going to know I'm here. Maybe even my own damn mother!
Ugh!
I composed myself quickly.
I cannot think of my parents.
Remember what Autumn said.
"You coming ?" I heard. I turned my head quickly to find the source. Billie. She stood there awkwardly until i noticed everyone else is gone.
"We're going to get ready..." She said, making her way back to her room.
It was only three when I -
The time read 5:30.
Shit.
--------------------------
I threw on some casual clothes, not wanting to overdo it.
To be completely honest, I haven't been to a party before. Could you tell? I was always the goodie goodie who never got in trouble. I wanted to break away from that night.
I wanted to get hammered.
I glanced over at Billie who still looked breathtaking, despite her baggy clothes. To be honest, I kinda digged them.
A lot.
I shook my head again.
Straight.
"Lets get this motherfucking party started!" Autumn screamed, kicking the door open.
My friends cheered loudly, following after her, leaving me lingering in the doorway.
Let's do this.
