(Rebecca)
"Rose, could you hurry up please?" I shouted out frustrated
"Almost finished!!" She yelled before I sighed looking at the phone I was twirling in my hand. Stopping for a second I looked at a number. It was Jason's number so the advice Rose gave me came to mind
"So you gonna call or what?" Rose appeared out of nowhere surprising me
"Rose when did you get down here? I didn't notice you come out" I said
"Don't avoid my question. You gonna call or what?"
"I don't know. I mean isn't it too short notice" I said before Rose sighed
"He's a guy. He'll probably just throw on a pair of pants and a t-shirt" Rose shook her head
Agreeing with her I started calling
"It's ringing," I told her before it connected
"Hello who is this?" he drowsily answered
"Hey, Jason it's Rebecca. Is this a bad time you sound tired?"
"NO!" he hurriedly yelled before coughing
"No, it's not a bad time. Not tired at all. Actually, I just finished working out so I'm full of adrenaline right now" he said
"Okay, you must be tired then. I was gonna ask you to come to a party with me but you should rest"
"NO" he yelled before coughing again
"I mean it wasn't that much exercise. I'm not tired at all. I'd love to go with you" he said
"Really?"
"Yeah just let me shower first," he said hanging up
"So what did he say?"
"He said yes," I said before Rose smiled
"Told you he'd have to be crazy to reject you." Rose joked making me smile
"Or gay" Rose added
"Rose stop it" I laughed before getting a good look at what she was wearing. She was wearing a mini crop top and mini jeans and red bottom sneakers
"Rose what the hell are you wearing?"
"Oh, this. Do you like it? I got it from a girl on campus. It's hot right" she said
"Yeah too hot. We're going to a high school party"
"You said it yourself I'm just a couple of months older than them"
"They're still underage," I said
"Becca, what's the big deal? I heard some of them are eighteen. Plus I'm just giving them something to look forward to at college. In fact, I bet most of them weren't going to college but now that they see me. It'll give them inspiration. I'm doing a good deed...let's call it public service" she gave an inspirational speech
"Go change now" I sternly ordered before she sighed and went back upstairs in a huff.
About thirty minutes after she came down in a white skin tight dress showing her flawless legs
"Better?" she rolled her eyes
"Barely," I said
"So shouldn't we go pick up your boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend," I said
"Yet" she winked
"Whatever let's go," I said picking up my bag
"Did he tell you where he lives?"
"No, but I know where," I said as we left the room
"Why?"
"I might have sort of thought about T.P-ing his house on Halloween," I said as we entered the elevator
"So much for not doing childish things" Rose chuckled. I stayed silent not having a good thing to say
"So you actually do it?" she asked
"I couldn't he lives in an apartment," I said before we went in my car
It was a solid ten-minute drive to his house and we waited for another ten for him to finish getting ready
"Why the hell is that guy taking so long? He's been getting ready for fifty minutes" she said before he finally came down. He wasn't wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans. He was dressed in a freshly pressed white shirt with a blue vest over it matching his white pants and blue shoes
"I'm sorry. Have you been waiting long?" he asked trying to fix a loose strand of his hair
"No we've only been here for ten minutes," I said while Rose whispered curses under her breath
"Ten minutes? It's just that I was in a rush" he said still trying to fix a loose strand
"Dammit stay fixed" he softly cursed
"Um, are you okay?" I asked
"Oh, I'm fine. It's just my hair" he said
"Can't you just leave it?" I asked before he suddenly stopped
"Yeah, I'll just not think about it," he said
"Shall we go?" he said before I took out my keys which Rose immediately grabbed
"I'm driving," she said before going into the car
"Okay," I said trying to open the front seat but it looked like she locked it so I had no choice but to sigh before seating in the back beside Jason
"Alright kids, we're on the road so don't do anything too crazy" she winked at me before driving off
The whole time we were driving I could see him desperately trying to fix his hair and when he wasn't his hands were fidgeting all about
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. Totally fine" he said leaving me to sigh before reaching into Rose's bag and taking out her gel.
I took out a small amount before fixing his hair. It finally stayed in place and I could see him release a sigh of relief
"Better?"
"Yeah thank you" he smiled at me
"Okay we're here," Rose said before we got out of the car and looked out at the fancy hotel in front of us
"Um what kind of party is this exactly because I don't think I'm dressed for it," Jason said
"A simply high school," I said in disbelief
"This is awesome," Rose said running into the building leaving Jason and me to walk inside
We then walked up to the receptionist
"Welcome to the Midnight Hotel how can we help you today"
"Hi, I'm actually here for a party. Would you mind telling me which room it's being held"
"That would be the King suite. That is on the top floor"
Rose and I looked at each other with smiles before we all headed for the elevator.
There were only two apartments on the top floor and judging by the noise coming from the door on the right that was where we were supposed to go
We entered the room and we were pleasantly surprised
"This place is huge," Rose said
"Wow, who's party did you say this was again?" Jason asked before one of James's friends came up to me
"Hey you're Jay's friend, aren't you?" He asked
"Yeah Rebecca and you're..."
"Carlos"
"Well nice to officially meet you, Carlos"
"Same and sorry for my rudeness the first time. I was kinda in a rush"
"Don't worry about it. I didn't even remember it"
"That's understandable I heard a lot happened that night"
"The drama trio," I said
"Quartet," he said before I smiled
"Hey I'm gonna go for a drink," Jason said disappearing into the crowd
" So how's the party?" I asked
"Great. Especially the music" he answered looking up at the trio of girls on a stand in the middle of the large crowded living room
"If the music is so great why aren't you dancing handsome" Rose said
"Actually my dance partner is a bit busy"
"I could be your stand-in," Rose said with a wink before I sighed
"See you later Carlos," I said pulling her by the arm into the crowd
Only a couple of minutes had passed and Rose had already danced with five random guys in the crowd while Jason and I leaned awkwardly against a wall
"So you enjoying the party?" I asked
"Yeah. Sure. It's fine" he said sipping the punch
"Woo" Rose cheered as she ran up to us
"This party is way more fun than I thought it'd be" she cheered
"These senior guys are hot" Rose whispered in my ear
"So are you two just gonna stand here all night or are you gonna dance?" Rose said taking the cup from Jason and downing it herself
"This could use more alcohol," Rose said handing him back the empty cup
"So you gonna dance or what?" She asked
I looked at him and he looked back at me
"No I think we're fine," I said
"Well I'm going to find a new dance partner," Rose said before a new guy walked up to her
"Hi," he said
"Well Hello there handsome. I'm guessing that handsome face comes with a name"
"Aiden and what's yours?"
"Rosalia but you can call me Rose"
"A beautiful redhead named Rose. I've never seen a more fitting name, especially for such a beautiful girl" He said
"Oh did you think of that on the fly? You must get all the girls on the playground" Rose said
"None as beautiful as you. So what do you say? Wanna dance with me?" he asked
"What's that on your shirt?" she asked
"Punch"
"A little alcohol like this already got you messing up yourself. Won't you spill on me? This dress is white. I can't dance with someone who doesn't know how to handle their liquor"
"Trust me beautiful I can handle anything you've got. Plus I bet I hold my liquor better than you" he smirked at her
"Interesting" Rose smiled pulling him into the crowd leaving Jason and me in awkward silence. We stood there awkward again for a couple more minutes before we heard an angry shout
"What the hell are you doing here!!"
