Chapter 2- Getting Into A Club

It was officially the first day of summer. Saturday night is really lively, at least that is what my sister Jane told me. She goes out all the time on Saturdays. And now she won't be the only one in this family.

I was currently shopping for dresses with Isabel. Forever 21 is where she would go for the affordable stuff.
" Oh my god! This looks tres chic on you!" She said, gasping. I was in front of the mirror in the red dress she wanted me to wear. It was really fitting. It squeezed on my curves which immediately had me in an insecure mood.

" I don't really like it." I said, still covering my stomach.
" Stop it!" She said, taking my hands and placing them at my sides, causing me to cringe.

" If you won't buy it Kara, I will happily buy it for you!" She said shoving me back into the dressing room. When I was unzipping my dress I made up a new quote.
" When life ( Isabel) buys you a dress, take it because hey, free dress."

I got out of the dressing room, handing the dress to Isabel who scoffed and walked towards the cashier. I grabbed the bag and thanked Isabel for buying me my dress and checked my watch.

"Fuck! Dude I have to go! I'm going to be late for my job!" I exclaimed. I had a job at the music store. And I worked there for quite a while.

" Fine don't be late though, I'm picking you up at nine." She said waving me off as I ran to my car.

I sped down the road to the music store. And thank god Ashton was there covering my shift.

" Thanks Ashton." I said taking deep breaths.
" No problem Kara." He said continuing to organize music. I happily went back to work. The faster I worked, the sooner I would get out.

" Why were you so late today?" He said confused.
" Shopping." I huffed.
" Women.." He said.
" Can you cover my shift tomorrow?" I asked.
" Can't, I'm taking off tomorrow, band practice." He said.

Ashton was in this band, called 5 Seconds Of Summer. He and I, and apparently the rest of his band like to joke around and call it 500 Years Of Winter. He played drums and I have heard them a couple times. And if he takes days off, he can play better, because he says
They kind of suck.

Personally I don't think that is true at all.

I left work and went a little earlier than usual because I had to get ready, for the club. And for some odd reason I feel really bad about this.

I went into the bathroom and took a hot shower. It was soothing water down my back and it felt really good. I climbed out, and wiped the steam of the bathroom mirror. I brushed my teeth again because I needed to look good.

I slid the dress on. It was even more fitting considering I ate some food, and I was a little damp on my chest and back. I curled my hair and put on red lipstick. I didn't want to look 21, I wanted to look 18. I got my mom's red heels and stepped out of the house.

Isabel was already outside. I looked at my watch ,
9:10
Shit.
" Sorry Isabel." I said sliding into the car.
" It's okay. You look amazing." She said, fixing her black dress. She was stunning as well.

We drove a little longer, and then my phone started to ring. And I could tell it was Ashton because 5 Seconds Of Summer was playing. I answered.

" Ashton?" I said.
" Dude, me and the guys are already at the club, where are you?" He said.
" Your coming with us?" I asked, confused.
" Yeah, Isabel invited us."
" Oh, ok bye." I said hanging up the phone.

I gave Isabel a look.
" Ok so I invited them, Michael is really cute." She said shrugging.
" Then ask his ass out." I said.
" That isn't romantic." She huffed.
" Nothing is romantic." I said.
" Luke and you would look good." She commented.
There are so many things wrong with that statement.
1) Ashton calls them punk rock, so I don't think a punk rock guy would like anything about me.
2) I've heard his voice, haven't seen his face.
3) What if he is scary?!

I'm scared about his appearance.
" I don't think that is a good idea." I said.
" Whatever I think it is." She said.
We pulled into the club parking lot. there were so many people coming in and out. I don't even think the guys managing the club were paying attention.

Isabel pulled me out of the car. We scurried out of the car, and towards the club entrance.
" Id." the guy said stopping us.
Isabel strategically had fake ones and showed them to the guy. Isabel looked like a freakin 19 year old, so he let us in without question.

The club smelled like alcohol and a hint of perfume mixed with vomit. Not the best. Ashton and his band were grinding on random people.

" Kara!" He said coming over to me. He wasn't drunk. He was doing this for pleasure.
" Hey." I said.
I looked around at the atmosphere. I was already starting to hate this summer. But 49 more things to go.
" Michael." He said, pointing over.

Michael had red hair. Pretty sure it was dyed. He was wearing a Metallica t-shirt, which matched his hair. He waved.
" Calum." He said, pointing again.

Calum was tall. He ran his hand through his brown hair. He was wearing a Sleeping With Sirens t-shirt and really tight pants. He smiled and waved back too.

" Luke." Ashton said. Looking around.
" Where's Luke?" Ashton said.

" Found him." Michael said.

And there in the corner was Luke. He had blonde hair, blue eyes. He wasn't dancing. He wasn't drinking. He wasn't smoking. He was sitting at a table. Eating French fries. And reading Hamlet.
