Need to Know~ Liam Dunbar

4

Kelsey POV

I had made myself some pasta and was eating it while rewatching Gossip Girl on Netflix, when suddenly I got a text from a number I vaguely recognized.

It said: party 4 u 2 meet the rest of the freshmen. every1s rlly excited. tonight in 1 hour @ my place.

'mason?' I texted back.

'u know it' came the reply.

I almost screamed out loud. I hadn't been able to text anyone much because the long distance bills were so expensive. Mason had been my best friend since first grade, and I missed him so much. It was exactly like him to do something like this.

I smiled and texted him back 'be there soon ;)' before running up to her room to change. I threw on a maroon skater dress, blow dried and straightened my hair, touched up my makeup, and slipped on cute grey booties before checking myself out in the mirror. I was ready.

I knew that Mason's house was only 7 blocks away, an easy didtance for a runner like me to cover in the two minutes I have left before the party started. I wouldn't even break a sweat.

I arrived at the side of the house soon after,and checked my makeup in her phone camera. I looked great. I walked around the side of the house and ran straight into someone. A hot someone.

"Oh-hi! I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed.

"Nah, it's fine. I'm Garrett. And you must be the famous Kelsey Stilinski." He said.

"That would be me," I said, noticing him checking me out. I winked at him and whispered, "See ya later." in his ear as I walked into Mason's house. Immediately, I spotted Mason. His back was to me and he was talking to a pretty girl with a crazy yet cute necklace on. I ran up behind Mason and covered his eyes with my hands.

"Guess who!" I said to him.

"Kels!" he yelled, making the hundred people all standing in his back yard stare at us. "I missed you so much! You look great!"

"Aw thanks, Mase. I missed you too!" I reply.

"Everyone, this is Kelsey. Kelsey, this is everyone!" Mason says.

I get lots of muttered his and some smiles. While some people come over to meet me, others just turn back to their friends and continue talking. I met a lot of new people. The girl with the necklace was Violet. Mason told me that his friend Liam couldn't make it. I guess I'll just meet him at school in a few days.

Later that night, I ran into Garrett again. We were in a secluded corner of the yard, and I was aware that we were standing really close. After a few minutes of talking and flirting, he leaned in to kiss me but I stopped him.

"Don't you have a girlfriend? Violet, right?"

"We have had a thing for a while, but I don't think it's serious." He says, pointing to where I can see Violet making out with some Lacrosse dude.

I turned to him and pressed my lips against his. We made out for a minute or two when Mason ran up and interrupted us.

"Hey! Kelsey and- Garrett? Huh. Didn't see that one coming. But, Kels, I guess you haven't been responding to your texts because...see for yourself." He held up his phone. 14 texts and 7 missed calls from Stiles.

"How did he even get your number?" I ask.

Mason shook his head, "Wait. Stilinski? That weird guy from the lacrosse team?"

I shot him a look. "Yes, Stiles Stilinski. Who, I, Kelsey Stilinski am purposely ignoring." I say the last part to Mason, who gets the message and runs over to talk to Violet, who finally came up for air with that jock.

"Sorry. I didn't know he was your brother." Garrett tells me.

"It's fine. I'm alittle annoyed with him myself. So, tell me about Beacon Hills." I say to him.

We walk around the neighbourhood and talk for a while. When we wander back to the party, it's nearly empty. Mason seesme and walks over.

"Kelsey! Where have you been for the last two hours?"

"Two hours?" I check my phone. The time is 11:09.

"Oh, god. I'm sorry. I totally lost track of time. And my dad's totally gonna kill me for getting home at this time. Thanks for everything, guys. Hey, Garrett, give me your phone." I say.

He hands it to me. I put in my number and tell him to text me before sprinting home. I get home just before my dad and Stiles. I have enough time to run upstairs and change into pajamas before they walk in, talking about camping.

Camping? Really? They missed me coming home after three years for csmping? Ugh?

"KELSEY!" Stiles screams, pulling me into a bear hug.

"Angel!" Dad exclaims.

After an hour of family time, during which I was texting Garrett, I excused myself, claiming jet lag. When I ran upstairs, i decided that I was going to bed for real. I texted Garrett so, and as I climbed into bed, my phone lit up again.

It was a text from Garrett: "night <3". I smiled, plugged my phone in, and went to sleep.

A/N sorry this took me longer than the rest but I was being slow and trying to finish hw oops. And I KNOW SORRY ABOUT ALL THE GARRETT AND KELSEY ITS JUST FOR PLOT LATER ON I PROMISE ILL BRING LIAM IN SOON
