South side rules

•9 Bestfriends Code

We got home around 8pm and decided to start unpacking her things. I told her to shower and get ready while Carl and i took her things up to what was once the guest room, her room. We made her room look better. It felt like the first time me and Carl hung out. Which wasn't that long ago either. It was just less than a week. We finished unpacking everything while putting it away and layed on her bed looking at the ceiling. "Remember the first time we met"
"I dropped your phone and then boom now you're basically becoming a Gallagher"
"That's crazy how one person can change your whole life just like that."
"You really changes me Selena, never thought I could lean on someone as much I do with you, you are family to me and yeah we haven't met that long ago but with the time I've spent with you I don't think I could ever forget you or even hate you. You are my best friend. You know what? We should have a code!!"
"Code? Like a secret message?"
"Yeah something we both use if something goes wrong between us like if we ever get in a fight or argument even when someone is feeling down."
"The art of the purest friendship offers the ugliest pain a little bit of beauty"
"That was beautiful" I hear Malia say standing by the door. We shoot our heads up and let her in her room to change and get ready. "What exactly does that mean" Carl looks at me as we exit her room with a curious face. "Whenever you feel down or mad I just want you to know that no matter how much hatred you carry on you or how hurt you feel, that I will always be here to make sure you are doing better even if you don't want me around you, I'll still be there for you outside your door until you are ready to talk to me. Because 'the art' of our friendship is what will be my way to help you." He just smiles looking down at the floor and pulls me in a tight hug. "The art of OUR friendship." He said while looking down at me while we pull apart. Malia was looking at us the whole time and she looked at us in awe. She had always been my best friend but the sister way like I could tell her everything but not to the point where I expose myself and make myself look bad. I would always text her and check up on her every now and then and I'm glad she can finally live with me and mom. Carl hugged me one last time feeling all sentimental over our code and heads home to get ready and I head upstairs to shower and get ready too. I end up just putting on a colored tank top and some neck chains to bring some attention to my neck I guess and with light blue ripped tight jeans and a pair of colored vans and my everyday makeup. I guess i was extremely colorful but I felt really, really happy and I don't know I just wanted to wear some colors. Right after I got out of my room I walked downstairs to see a colorful Carl. "Hey you copied me!" He laughed and just shrugged. "I was ready first" and I just mimicked him. I grabbed my phone and called my mom asking if she was going to be coming home since she hasn't been home for the past days and if she is home we don't run into each other because I'm either our on not there. She told me she will be home and I told her about the party so when she comes home she gets ready to party next door. My mom loves to party, letting loose, getting drunk and meeting new people was just her thing I guess.I decided to wait for my mom since she i didn't want her to go in awkward and Carl got up to say Hi and apologize for having to leave.
"I have to go home and get Liam since everyone is already there setting things up just Debbie is home getting Frances and Liam's things ready for a sleepover at Sheila's. We thought it'll be safer than a bar for those two and she didn't feel like going."
"Ok so just come over so we can go together."
"Yeah I'll drop them off and come get you three"
I was kind of confused when he said bar tho. But my mom just thanked him and he left the house. Mom never met any of the Gallagher's or even Carl, she's heard of him because I told her about him and how he stays over or I stay at his place. She was fine with it since she was trying to trust me and trust that I was doing good. I made sure to catch her up to everything about the Gallagher's. Frank being frank, Debbie and her baby, Fiona basically the mom, Ian and Mickey, Carl trying to get into West Point and Liam who is doing fine in private school. My mom said that just for the night it was fine to drink since it would be under her supervision and it will just be next door but before Carl left he said it was actually not around here but in the Alibi since it was a South side party with everyone they knew. He made sure to tell my mom that he will be with me all night and make sure I get home safe and early if necessary just before he left the house.
Its wasn't even longer than 30 minutes and Carl walked into the house with Debbie calling for us so we can all be on our way. My mom was getting ready which were just some final touches because she doesn't do too much makeup and she doesn't do anything to her hair since it's naturally beautifully curly. We all made our way down stairs and Debbie was wearing a tight red top and some loose white pants and flats while Malia was wearing tight vinyl pants with a long see through shirt and a black bra. Honestly she looked amazing in that and hopefully she finds someone who interest her in that bar because she needs someone to talk to around here. My mom was just wearing a full body black suit with with no sleeves and ruffles on the top I felt like the most basic one compared to both of them but Carl got me since he was dressed almost the same. We made our way then out the door on our way to where the fun is, the party!

-
Ok just so I can make it clear and it won't be confusing, the outfit that Carl and Selena are wearing is the outfit for the party. (The colorful outfit)
They match a lot because I thought it'll be fun since they basically share clothes now
And this chapter was really short because I wanted the party to be all about them in the actual place, not the code or the whole cute friendship moment but the party drunk moments that you will see next chapter ;)
