This book will be in Renee's POV unless stated otherwise. Just thought I'd say that so you guys wouldn't get confused.
"Hey Ren! You coming to the biggest dorm party of our lives?" Ellie asked as she barged into my room while I was reading a book. I looked up from my book and pushed up my glasses.
"Now why would I go to a party, get drunk and not remember what happened the night before when I could stay home and eat junk and read my books?" I asked her, tilting my head and smiling innocently.
"Oh come on Ren! This is the second time you've missed a party. Don't you wanna have fun?" She nagged, tugging at my arm.
"Yes. But your definition of 'fun' and mine are completely different."
"Just this once. See if you like it and if you don't I promise you, we'll leave immediately." She pleads, giving me her infamous puppy eyes.
I looked away because those puppy eyes will always be the death of me. I could never deny them and she fully knows this.
I groaned, "FINE! I'll go just.. stop it with the puppy eyes" She squealed and started running around my room, trying to find me an outfit and everything I'll need to be 'sexified.' Her words not mine.
She got me ready in about an hour and we were on the move to some guy, Aiden's dorm room for the 'best dorm party ever.' As we approached the dorm room we heard the music playing a tad too loud and saw people making out everywhere. I scrunched up my nose and went to push up my glasses but realized that I had my contacts (due to Ellie's pleads that I need to look less 'nerdy.')
We were met by my squealing friends, Lili, Kace and Mimi. I laughed and hugged them.
"You actually got her out of the house! Got job Ellie" Mimi praised and I rolled my eyes playfully. I drowned them out, as Ellie told them the story of how she got me out of the house, and scanned the room for any familiar faces. My eyes stopped on this guy wearing a blue hoodie. He was in the midst of laughing and he looked... gorgeous. I continued checking out the mystery guy subtly while giving my friends answers such as 'Yes', 'Mhmm', 'That's nice' and so on.
"What is her problem?" I heard Kace ask and I could just picture everyone else shrugging. Blue hoodie guy was talking and laughing with his friends. He was moving his arms around animatedly as told his friends a story. He fixed the curls on his forehead about ten times in the middle of his story and he looked-
"RENEE ANDREWS!" someone screaming brought me out of my dream, "What the hell are you looking at!" Ellie asked exasperatedly, raising her eyebrows.
I blushed and tried to think up a lie, "I.. well I was- just thinking about.." I stammered, tucking a curl behind my ear. My friends raised their eyebrows, still awaiting an answer from me.
"Hey Mox.. Who's that guy checking you out?" Lili asked me, pointing in the direction of the guy with the blue hoodie! Oh my gosh! Was he checking me out?!
I felt a smile creeping it's way to my face and looked away from my friends, "No way! You were checking him out weren't you?" Kace asked, putting two and two together. The rest of my friends smirked at me.
"Aww.. Does our lil Ren Ren see something they like?" Mimi teased, using a nickname they only use when teasing me about something embarrassing. I chuckled lightly and rolled my eyes.
"Oh my! She so was!" Ellie squealed, clapping her hands. She's been waiting for like months to see me checking out a guy. After my.. well past experiences.. I've just been focusing on my schoolwork and less on guys. I mean, they're all the same aren't they? Heartbreakers.
