Taylors POV
"I just don't understand why she always has to come. You guys keep trying to force us to be friends but it's not going to work."
"I'm not trying to force you to be friends, I just don't understand why you guys hate eachother." We hate eachother because shes a bitch and started it "They're going to be here soon so go get dressed."
I walked upstairs and brushed out my ombre hair. I threw on some ripped jeans and a white crop-top. Every year my parents, well I guess just my mom now, throws a summer party and invites there friends. Every year my mom also tries to set me up with a girl she thinks I might like, but it never works. There always too preppy and giddy, I want someone that has a little bit of a fight in them. Someone who doesn't just give in to everything.
I heard the doorbell ring so I went downstairs and saw Lucy walk in. Her short blonde hair was only partly out because she had a red beenie on. She was also wearing black jeans, black hoodie, and a flannel. She didn't even look at me, she just walked through the house, upstairs and into my room. What the fuck?
I walked up to my room and saw her on my bed scrolling through her phone.
"What are you doing up here?"
"Scrolling through my phone?"
"No shit Sherlock, but why are you in my room? You know theres a party about to go on downstairs right?"
"Yeah, but my mom said that I have to 'hang out with you' or whatever so deal with it princess."
"Whatever." I sat down in the beanbag chair I had and grabbed my sketch book.
Me and her just sat in silence for about an hour before we got called downstairs because everyone else started showing up. She got up first and grabbed my sketch book.
"What is this? Why is this me?" She said with anger in her voice.
"You were just sitting there and I was bored. You were so focused on your fucking phone you didn't even notice. Why do you even care?"
"I don't" she said coldly and walked out of the room.
Time to go meet whatever girl my mom picked out for me this year. I walked down stairs and my mom opened the door for another one of her friends.
"Taylor! Perfect timing, this is Chloe." She said as a brunnet girl walked in. I walked over to her and put on my best fake smile and introduced myself.
"Hi. I'm Taylor" I stuck my hand out to shake it as I tried to read her. She was in a yellow short skirt dress and white flats. She had a big white purse with her. Great. You would think that my mom would try and find a girl that, I don't know, isn't the same as every other girl.
She took my hand and shook it. My mom looked at me and nodded her head to the side. "Let me show you around the house Chloe." I started to walk away as my mom started talking to hers. I showed her around the house and got us both a drink.
"Can I see your room?" She asked so I took her up there. As soon as we got up she threw her purse on the bed and stripped.
"What the fuck."
"Oh calm down princess." What the fuck is up with everyone calling me princess today. "I'm not trying anything on you. I don't want to be here and my girl is waiting for me" She grabbed the purse and grabbed out a button up shirt and jeans. She quickly got changed and walked to my window. "Give me a hand?"
"Only if you explain what the hell is going on." She walked back into my room and sat on the bean bag chair.
"Okay, long story short. My mom doesn't like my girlfriend, because she isn't rich. So we acted like we had a huge fight and broke up. So she brought me here to meet you. But I don't want to be with you, you could be amazing for all I care, I already got someone. So will you please help me get out so I can go pick her up?" I sat there for a second and processed what she just said.
"Yeah lets get you out of here." We walked over to the window and I grabbed her hand as she climbed out. When she said so I let go and she fell but landed. "If your mom asks, Ill say you're sick or something. Here." I tossed my phone down. "Give me your number so I can get you back in later." She entered her number then tossed the phone back up. And then she was off. As soon as she was out of sight Lucy walked back into my room.
"Wheres the lucky girl this year?" She said in a sarcastic tone
Just to mess with her I walked over to her and put my hand on her cheek and whispered in her ear "I'm looking right at her babygirl" she froze and I think she actually blushed? She was speechless once I pulled away.
"I-...I um.."
"Dude I'm just kidding, she snuck out to see her girlfriend. Let's go get drinks, I know where my mom put the extras"
"Why would I wanna get drinks with you?" Ah, there it is, back to her bitchy self
"Because you can't get them any other way. Now let's go."
She followed me downstairs and we snuck into the basement where the extra liquor was. I handed her one bottle and then took one myself. We got out of the basement and then went back to my room. I told my mom that we were "starting to click I swear" so she let us be.
"Let's play truth or drink"
"Thatll be fun, let's do it, but you start"
"Why? Scared to ask me questions princess?"
"No, and stop calling me princess. Just go first, I got the drinks in the first place, you owe me"
"Fine fine, first question. How come you never actually like nor hookup with the girls your mom tries to set you up with."
"Right to the good stuff huh? I dont know, none of them are what I like. They arent my type."
"What is your type?"
"No no, that's another question. It's my turn first, princess." She rolled her eyes "how come you've never dated anyone?" She debated answering or drinking and decided to answer
"Because the person I've liked for years doesnt like me back"
"Oh yeah? Well who do you like"
"Another question, my turn remember."
***
The game kept going on for a couple hours, she drank more then I did so I was only tipsy and she was drunk. It was her turn.
"So, what is your type?"
"A girl that pushes back, one that isn't a bot and does exactly what I want. I wanna banter and go out and do stuff like skate and stuff. I dont wanna deal with a ditsy doll"
"So me, you want a girl like me"
"Whatever helps you sleep at night. Now, who do you like?" She went to take a drink but I stopped her. "Cmon, answer, you haven't answered almost anything I've asked"
"You really wanna know?" I nodded my head, she scooted next to me and looked me in the eyes then I think her eyes flicked down to my lips. "I like you, ya asshat"
