Better than ever- Chacha

Secrets

Charli's Pov:

(The day of the party)

"Hey- mom!?" I called through the quiet house.

"I'm in my room!" She called back.

I walked down the hallway to find her. She was standing in front of her mirror putting her hair into a ponytail.

"I was wondering," I plopped down on my parents bed. "Can i go stay at Dixie's tonight? I know she's only lived away from home for like a week but I miss her." I put on my best, most convincing sad face.

"Sure, as long as it's okay with her!" Mom agreed.

"Yay, okay! I talked to her like 5 minutes ago and she said it was fine!" I lied. Dixie and I had planned this a week ago.

"Then sure. I'll give you a ride over there as soon as I get done straightening up around here- just give me 30 minutes."

It was only 6pm, so I wasn't in any rush. Once my mom dropped me at Dixie's, she and I were gonna get ready for the party. We'd uber to the Sway house and Chase was going to meet us there.

I skipped back to my room to pack my backpack for the night. I included my black cargo pants and a long sleeved orange cropped shirt to change into for the party- nothing fancy, I just wanted to be comfortable. I added shorts and a t-shirt to sleep in.

I figured I'd just do my hair at Dixie's, she had a curling iron and plus, my mom would be suspicious if I did my hair just to go sleep at my sister's house.

I finished packing my bag and sat on my bed watching tik toks until my mom said she was ready to go.

I said a quick goodbye to my dad who was doing work on his computer in his office, and then I met my mom in the car.

"So what are you girls gonna do tonight?" Mom questioned as we pulled out of the garage.

"Probably just have a little movie night!" I quickly made up.

"Oh well that sounds fun! If you girls do any fun tik tok dances send them to me!"

"Sure, mom!" I laughed to myself.

When we arrived I hopped out of the car, waved goodbye to my mom and ran inside the apartment building.

Dixie was getting ready and Noah was over, sitting on the couch eating popcorn when I walked in.

"Hey char? Ready to partayyy!?" Dixie teased.

"Oh, stop" I giggled.

"No for real though, I wanna get so fucked up tonight."

I looked over at Noah and we both rolled our eyes. We both knew that Dixie was the needy and annoying type when she was drunk.

I took my stuff out of my backpack and started to get ready.

I changed my clothes and flat ironed my hair, then put on a little bit of makeup for a natural look.

When I had finished getting ready I looked at my phone and saw I'd gotten a text from Chase.

Chase: leaving dixie's soon?

I replied a thumbs up emoji, and then double texted: "can't wait to seee youuu."

Dixie ordered an Uber when we were ready to go, and we were on our way to the sway house.

When we arrived, there were more people than I expected- like way more.

You could hear the loud music from down the block, and as we pulled up, we could see silhouettes of people dancing through the house's large windows.
