Chapter 7 - Colby Brock

"Oh, uh hi. I, I'm just out here to grab a drink." I stumbled across my words. I wonder how awkward that'd be if he found out that I was stalking his Instagram before I met him. "I don't recognize you, I didn't know we were having a party tonight." Colby looked just as confused as I was.

"Oh, no, I'm Violet. I'm the girl that's moving in here." Wait to make even more awkward Vi. I grabbed two Mike's Hard Lemonades from the fridge. "Aren't you a little young to be drinking?"

"Hah, well, it's just one night. This one's for Devyn." I looked around the garage to break my awkward eye contact. I noticed that it wasn't like many other garages. It had fake grass, a ping pong table and a huge white lovesack next to the fridge.

"I know, I'm kidding. You can do whatever you want here. It's nice to meet you. I'm Colby by the way... I guess I'll see you inside then."

There was an awkward moment between us again. "Yeah, see ya." I did that thing again with my cheeks after Colby went back inside. I shook my head, "Not this time girl." I walked in a few moments after.

I set the drinks next to where Devyn was sitting and made myself a plate of food, as did everyone else. I saw Katrina lean into Tara and heard her say, "Oou, looks like Violet and Colby already met." Well shit. It's not that big of a deal, but when you're the new person, it kind of is.

I went back to sit next to Devyn and we chatted about life for a while. Every so often I'd look up to see Colby shift his eyes away from me. My face went red because I knew what he was doing. He was hot and smooth. That's really gonna kill me.

After dinner we all just decided to watch a movie in the living room, or to just do whatever you felt like doing. Katrina sat with Sam, Tara sat with Jake and Devyn sat with Corey. Aaron's girlfriend, Tori, wasn't at the Traphouse. Though, he promised he would take Buddy over to her house and hang out there for the night.

So this is how this happens. Colby Brock and I are the only two people here who don't have a significant other. But I was way too awkward to even say anything, so instead I just went into the garage. Deep down I kinda wish that he heard the door shut, and that he'd follow me but I don't know if that'd make me feel better or worse. This time I just took a bottle of water from the fridge and sat on the lovesack.

I went through my phone and noticed that Corey posted a posted a video to his Instagram story of the Traphouse and the food we ordered. He tagged me in it, so my notifications were blowing up. I had only 400 ish followers before that and now I had 9,000. Social media was absolutely crazy.

Author's Note:

Okay, I'm posting for the last time tonight. I'll post more parts tomorrow, probably. Hehe, this is just a short chapter but maybe a little suspenseful? I don't know. But...does Colby come out into the garage with Violet?
