'Do we really have to go tonight?' Eloise asked me as we were getting ready in my bedroom, Violet straightening her hair in my bathroom whilst Cara was in my wardrobe trying to find something to wear.

'Yes, we do,' I laughed, shaking my head at her. It was Jakes eighteenth and he was having it at his parents house in Nomain.

'Why though?' Eloise huffed as she put on her black heels, the finishing touch to her outfit.

'Because it's an open bar,' I said applying my red lipstick. 'I think that's the only reason though. I'm sure it will be fun.'

'You'll get to make out with Calum,' Cara said walking out of my wardrobe, wearing a pale blue mini dress of mine.

'Okay fine I'm sold,' Eloise said with a laugh and I just rolled my eyes at her as I pulled on my pink strapped heels, waiting for Violet to finish her hair so then we could get a car and go to the party.

'Alright I'm ready!' Violet exclaimed walking out of my bathroom, Cara calling the car from her phone as we headed downstairs, Jakes gift in my hand, which was a new bottle of Dior cologne.

The drive took longer than it usually did, due to all the snow and ice on the road but nobody really minded, as we were all staying the night in Nomain as it would be too dangerous to go back to school that late, due to how dark and icy the roads are past 12 am.

'Thank you John!' Cara said to her driver as he dropped us out the front of Jakes parents 1900s town house, one of their many real estate collections.

'Let me know what time you girls want picking up tomorrow,' he said with a smile and Cara nodded in return before we headed inside to get away from the cold, since we were all in dresses and skirts, none of us dressing for the weather, which was stupid on our behalves but nobody would ever dare be caught in jeans at a party at our school.

'God his house is insane,' Eloise said as we walked inside, all of us blown away at how beautiful the inside was, which makes sense since his mother is an interior designer/decorator and his father is a real estate giant all over the globe.

'Yeah his parents live and breath houses, I wouldn't expect anything less,' I said as we walked through the hallway, following the music to the back of the house, where basically our whole year level was.

'I'm going to go find Ashton,' Violet said with a grin before skipping off to find the boy who she had liked since before they could even remember. Neither of them are ready for a relationship or to put a label on what they are, but they have been hooking up for about five years and sleeping with each other for three years and nobody else, so they are basically dating but they both have commitment issues, it's an odd situation but it works for then.

'Oh my god,' Luke said when he saw me, my cheeks blushing at his words and the way that he was looking at me. 'She's done it again, you are a literal Queen Annabelle.'

'Oh shhh,' I said before he kissed me swiftly before pulling me into a tight hug.

'It's true, you literally amaze me every day Belle, you are insane,' he said whispering in my ear, before leaving a soft kiss on my neck, sending tingles around my body as I hugged him a little bit tighter.
