Chasing Fan-Girl

Chapter Eightteen || Chasing Semi-Formals

Tonight I'm going to the winter semi-formal, the theme this year is Christmas in New York and I honestly cannot wait. 95% of me going tonight is based purely on the theme, my friends always convinced me any other time. There is just something about this theme that makes me want to scream and just harlem shake my way to Harlem. New York is just so fascinating during the wintertime, I just can't explain it to where it makes sense. Is that bad?

Right now it's 5:56 PM and the dance is at 7:00 and we're at Autumn's house watching re-runs of Boy Meets World. Her mom is picking up the pizza and we look like slugs, slugs who know how to use technology. 

All of us are here, Calder, Ronny, Angie, both Ryan's, both Hunter's, Baylee, Percy, Autumn, and myself. Only the girls are allowed to sleepover, parentals rule. So Baylee, Angie, Ryan M, Autumn, and I will be turning up while the boys will be getting hammered at Percy's house, his parentals are gone for the next few weeks as they always do this, maybe that's why he's considered the sex god, this dude is always alone.

I think I'm the only one who is actually watching this show. Percy and Calder are hovered over Autumn's shoulders who's on her laptop watching dancing videos. If I hear the song Anaconda one more time, I will not be afraid to cut a bitch. Ronny, Angie, Baylee, and Ryan O are glued to their phones, I think they might be literally. So that leaves both Hunter's and Ryan M, what are they doing? Glad you asked, they are on DS's playing Mario Party. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing with these people.

"How long does it take to pick up pizza?" I ask out of curiousity, I'm starving.

"Dude, there is like 17 people in this house, that would be a lot of pizza to even order, then to buy cheesey bread and pop, and she's only one person," Ronny says not looking up from his device. 

"Fine, I'll just eat a granola bar," I say as I get up from the couch and head toward the kitchen. I rummage through the pantry and look for something to munch on, they ran out of granola bars I like very much. I think I was the only one who ate them to be honest. 

I settle with a bag of salt and vinegar chips, as I don't totally hate them. I mean yeah they've been put to death but I have really put to death BBQ chips. Like so much they make me gag just from the smell. 

"Liar," Percy says over my shoulder as he starts to dig into the pantry himself. 

"What?" I ask. You don't just walk behind someone and call them a liar. That is not why the dinosaurs died. I'd say Jesus but I'm not Christian.

"You said you were getting a granola bar, those look like chips," he whispers. 

"I ate the granola bars up last time," I say munching on the chips, a few flying out of my mouth. 

"You truly are disgusting sometimes," he says with a smile, he grabs a packet of popcorn and heads to the microwave. 

I sit on the counter and watch him do his thing. He does weird things when making food, always entertaining. Nobody ever dares to leave him when he makes food. He could be a viral video. Why hasn't he been a viral video? I could be watching someone famous but no, he's not.

He's not dancing, he's not hip thrusting, grinding, jumping jacks while spinning, he's just leaning on the counter with his arms folded staring back at me. Rather watch him hip thrust then look at him stare at me.

Holy crap I hope I'm not his next sex toy. STI's are a thing people. I even think he took ninth graders virginity. Anxiety attack. Breathing. Dizzy. Guys what do I do, what did I do. 

"Whoa, Jae breathe," he says after understanding what I'm doing, which was holding my chest. I couldn't. Nothing was happening. I couldn't feel anything. My mind was numb. My mind was also blurry. I hear the faint crinkle of the chip bag, I think it fell.
