What A Life

Chapter 3

When we go to the mall, Rose was already looking at a short, blue, sparkly dress. Which was not for me, I don’t like the sparkly dresses. But I love the short ones.  “Noah, look at this one, it’s so pretty and really cute, and would look totally great on you!” she squealed, shaking the dress in front of my face. “No thank you, Rose.” I told her pushing the dress away from my face. “Awe, calm on Noah, it would look totally cute on you.” She replied giving the puppy dog face. “Fine, but this is the only time I’m wearing this dress, Rose.” I told her annoyed. “Okay, just got to find some shoes, and then were going to go get lunch, and then go back to my house and get ready for the party.” She told me, as she started pulling me to the shoe department.  “These would be so cute.” She told me already showing me a cute pair of black heels. “Okay let’s go get something to eat.” I told her, “I’m starving.” “Okay let’s go.” She told me, and then I heard her stomach growl. We both laughed.

We drove into her driveway. And I saw her older brother, Sam, he is really cute. “Hey is Sam coming to the party?” I asked her, my eyes getting wide. “Yeah he is, he said that he would stay for a little while.” She told me with annoyance in her voice. I have always had the biggest crush on Sam, and she never knew it though. I’ve always wanted to tell her but I just didn’t want to make her mad either. She was my best friend and it would break my heart if we stopped being friends over her brother.  “Okay, I was just asking.” I told her. We went inside and I felt her brother’s eyes on me, as I walked into the house.  “So what are we going to do with my hair?” I asked her touching my dark hair. “I think I will curl it.” She told me getting out her curling iron. “Okay, where do you want me to sit?” I asked her looking around at her messy room. “You can sit on my bed, right there.” She said as she got all the messy stuff off her bed. I went over and sat down. “What time is it?” I asked her looking around for a clock. “It’s 6:30” she said moving quickly. She started to curl my hair. And then when she was done, she started doing my make-up. “What color do you want your eye shadow?” She asked me as she was doing my eye liner. “Blue, please.” I told her. She put the eye shadow on me and she looked at me and then spun me around to look at myself in the mirror. “Wow, I look beautiful.” I told her admiring myself in the mirror. “Okay now you need to go get dressed.” She said. I got my dress on and came out of the bathroom, and she looked at me with wide eyes. “What?” I asked her. “You look gorgeous.” She said spinning me around. 

 “Well, I should because I want to look good at that party.” I told her, looking at myself in the mirror again. “Well, you look really pretty.” She said, “Are you ready to go to the party?” “Yep, let’s go.” I told her getting my stuff together.

We drove up at Rob’s house, and I see the lights flashing, and the house looks like its vibrating.  I get out and start walking toward the door, and Rose comes up behind me and stops me. “Let me look at you” she requested while looking me up and down. “Okay so you look fine go in there and party.” She said while pushing me through the door. I walk in and look around; there are drunken people all around me. There is a guy that is throwing up in a nearby plant. I walk to the drink table and I look at the big cooler. I grab a beer out, and open it. I take a swig, and then I see Sam, looking at me again. I walk over and say hi, and he says hi back in a deep husky voice, which I thought was so sexy. He looks at me a gives a very sexy smile. I look at him and smile back. I laugh, when he starts spilling the drink down his shirt. “Hey can I talk to you please?” And he takes my hand, and pulls me to the bedroom. He looks at me, and asks me a question that I would have never thought he would ask me. “Do you like me?” he asks me, with his face down. I look at him with my heart beating a mile a minute. “Y-yeah, why?” I ask him stuttering a lot, walking backward until my back hit the wall.  “Well I like you to, I always have, I mean your great and you’re always yourself.” He said walking toward me, setting his drink down on the night stand. “T-thank you but, w-what are you doing?” I ask him as I watch him come towards me. “I want to kiss you Noah.” He comes toward me. “N-no. Please don’t, I can’t kiss you.” I told him while he got closer and closer. “I just want to see something that’s all.” He said to me as he took one step closer.  “Why?” I asked him looking at him. He grabs me and wraps his arm around me waist, pushing me against a wall. And then I see it, his eyes shot blood red. He was drunk. “Sam, get off me please. You’re drunk.” I told him trying to pry him off of me. “Get off Sam!” I yelled, and then someone came bursting through the door. The person came in and got Sam off me, and threw him into the wall, leaving a crack when he hit. I fell to the floor, and covered my face. Then I feel someone take my shoulders, and help me up. I look up and I see Alex, standing in front of me, with a bloody nose. “Oh my god, you’re bleeding.” I look at him, and take him into the bathroom, and start washing up his face. “Thank you for doing that.” I told him, smiling. “It’s okay, I mean he shouldn’t have been doing that.” He said looking me in the eyes. “I mean, he was drunk, but your right that’s till no excuse for doing that to me.”  “And thank you for cleaning up my face.”  He said, looking me in the eyes. “It’s really no problem.” I told him as I got up to start walking away. He grabbed my hand before I walked out the door. “Let me repay you.” He said. “No it’s okay, it’s really no problem.” I reassured him.  “No, let me take you out to dinner.” He said to me, with a gleam in his eye. “Okay, then dinner it is.” I told him smiling. “Thank you, I would love to take you to a special place, that I used to go to as a little kid.” He told me.  “Okay, what time did you want to pick me up and when?” I asked him with a little bit of force. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow, at 7:00, okay?” he asked me with the same amount of force in his voice as me. “Okay that works” I told him, looking in his eyes.  He smiled at me , and then leaned forward but I leaned back. “I can’t kiss you right now.” I said, looking embarrassed. “I wasn’t going to kiss you, I was going to give you a hug.” He said. My face turned so red, that I felt like I was on fire.  “Oh, I knew that.” I said feeling my face turn even redder, I bet I looked like a tomato. He laughed, and got up to leave and I grabbed his hand and turned him around, and gave him a hug. “Thank you again, for saving earlier.” I told him. He smiled and turned around. I walked out into the party again, and I saw Sam sitting there, looking pretty sobered up. “Hey, are you okay?” I asked him. “I am fine, I’m really sorry about that. I didn’t know what I was doing. I am so sorry.” He kept telling me. “Its fine, it just scared me a bit.” I told him smiling. “Okay, I really am sorry.” He told me again, before he walked off again. I looked around for Rose, and found her on the table dancing, and figured she couldn’t drive so, I started walking, and finally reached home, and layed on my bed and went to sleep.
