Chapter 7: The party

Anna'a pov

Emmi and Julia came over the next day to spend time with me and ag. They heard about a party that was an hour away from us so we all decided to go. The party started at 8pm and it was currently 5:40pm. Emmi didn't want to not drink anything there so she can bring us back home safely. I was in my room changing into a yellow and blue jumpsuit. I put some makeup on and then joined everyone else downstairs in the living room. Ag was wearing a black bomber jacket over a white t-shirt with black jeans and a chain hanging around her neck. Emmi was wearing blue jeans and a red jacket. Julia had on cropped jean jacket over her short black dress with a pair of sneakers . We got into the car, Ag in the driver seat me in the passenger seat and Emmi and Julia in back. We were pulling up into the neighborhood and we could already hear the music playing. We soon got out of car, I took ag's hand and we all went inside. The house was pretty huge. There was a lot of people in there though. There was a group of frat boys taking hits out of a bong in the corner, there were people making out in the middle of the hallway. I looked away in disgust and followed Ag around along with Emmi and Julia.

*Play song*

Ag's pov:

The house was packed so it was hard to move around. I held Anna's hand, leading her out of the crowd to the back where there was more space. We went into the backyard and it was way bigger than I expected. The backyard was at least 20 feet wide. It had a dancing floor that lit up with a dj playing music. There were several mini bars and a grill. In the center was a big pool that had led lights in it.

Damn, whoever lives here must be rich. I headed over to the grill to get some food. I came back and handed Anna a burger. After eating, I took Anna to the dance floor and we started dancing to the song. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not the best dancer out there but I was good enough for me to not make a complete fool of myself.

Anna laughed and danced a long with me. "Wow you suck." she says jokingly.

"Oh really? Let me just bust some real moves then." I started doing weird movements and Anna laughed and played along.

"Who sucks now?" I joked.

"Man, I was wrong, you're such a good dancer." she replied.

"Yeah I know, they say I'm the best one out there." I said with my hands on my hips, poking out my chest.

Anna rolled her eyes and chuckled "Yeah ok."

We both eventually got tired of dancing and joined Emmi and Julia at the mini bar. I lost count of how many shots I took but I wasn't totally wasted. Anna seemed pretty drunk which surprised me because she wasn't a heavy drinker. She was busy talking to a guy who she seemed to know. Emmi was talking to a group of girls she just met, leaving me alone with Julia. We were talking until she got up to go to the bathroom and I was left alone at the bar.

A girl around my age took her seat, she was very pretty. She was wearing a red crop top with short blue jeans and red vans. There was a blue bandana wrapped around her hair. Her eyes were blue and had short wavy blond hair. She looked at me and smiled. I grinned back at her in response. She asked the bar tender for a margarita, then put her focus back on me.

"Do you live around here?" she asked still smiling.

"No actually I'm from Kentucky. I'm just visiting my girlfriend." her smile turned into a frown.

"where is she?" she asked.

I pointed in Anna's direction and called out her name to get her attention. She turned her head towards my direction and smiled while waving at me. I waved back and went continued the conversation between me and the girl. "she's really pretty." she says.

" Tell me about it, I'm so lucky."  I started going on about how perfect Anna was.

"Anyways who'd you come here with?" I asked as I took another shot.

"I um, I actually live here."

"Oh shit really? Well, I like your house it's pretty nice." I replied.

"thanks, do you have a name?" she asked, taking a sip out if her drink.

"Yeah it's Ag, short for Annagrace. You?"

"Mine's Isabel but everyone calls me bella.

"your name is so short, why need a nickname?" I said jokingly.

She didn't seem amused at all. Guess she can't take a joke. I immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you if I did."

"It's fine but is that your girl you were talking about over there?" she says pointing at Anna.

"Yeah why?" I looked over at her and my heart sank. She was making with someone. I felt a hand touch my knee and I whipped my head back at Isabel. I took her hand off and started to back away from her but she just kept getting closer. This feels so wrong. What is happening?

She leaned into my ear whispering, "Don't worry about her. If she can kiss other people then she wouldn't mind you doing the same thing, would she?"

She went in for a kiss but I put my hand in her face immediately. I got out of my seat and grabbed Anna. We left the backyard and walked up to the front of the house. I was so pissed and heartbroken at the same time. How could she do this to me?
