Chapter 8
It was a Thursday morning,the air smelt fresh, setting down my glass of milk with a loud bang ,I felt my eyes brighten into a four karate diamond.
I curled my lips into an exuberant smile cause today I get to stay at home not for any reason in particular but because I felt like getting my chemistry projects done in time before the Friday house party.
Soon three knocks came on my door,shattering me from my work with a grimace I wondered who it could be .I pulled the door knob behold it was Annie.
'' Annie you're here'' I screamed in excitement.
''hey babe, good morning, I got you snacks you can have them for breakfast if you haven't eaten''.
'' thanks come in, take a seat'
''I just wanted to check up on you, you know what happened to you really frightened me i tried getting to you this morning if you would like to go in my dad's car to school but i got no response.''
'' yeah I feel better and I don't know what happened to me that day I could swear and i just needed a break of my phone for a little while.''
'' you don't have to explain it if you don't want to as long as you fine it's cool'.
"Sure".
'' so have you heard about tommorow s Friday house party at lynx place.
'' yeah I have but I have but I'm not sure I want to be there.
''it's going to be different this year, because our seniors are going to be present too.
'' you know me too well, I've got a lot of things on my mind and parties aren't one of them.
'' I see you've started warming up to him, you know what they say (there's a first time for everything), I assure you, you won't regret it .
Annie grabbed some snacks from the kitchen then we both ran upstairs to my bedroom till it was almost evening as usual she pleaded to sort out a nice clothing for tomorrow party .
I found Annie standing in my wardrobe digging through drawers as I fall back on the edge of my bed as I watched the ceiling fan as it spinned above us.she finally steps in front of me holding a white gown.
"What's this?"
I sat up to eye the shirt as she hold her hands out to me for it. I step forward from the bed allowing my hands curl through it only to discover is a thin fabric .
"It's a gown"she says as she grins at me, Bella it'd look great on you for tommorows party
"Annie is a see through gown"
Her grin widens"exactly Bella".
"Beautiful but no" I responded and pushed my self to my mirrow I wish I could opt out from the party but Annie never said no to a party.
Annie rolls her eyes and tosses it to the side of my bed as she continues to search my wardrobe like she owned it.
"If you wearing that gown ,your gonna look super hot as fuck "she said as she continued to pressure me into wearing the gown.
My room door opened it was my mom letting me know she already got me a nice gown for the party tommorow.
"Mom I told you not to make a big deal out of it"
"You deserve the best my dear,go have fun and be happy."
"Thanks Mom you're the best.
Annie had tried to put me in the short red mini gown my mom got me we went back and forth before I was able to settle in. i looked at my self in the mirror looking so ravishing and beautiful.
"Damn you look hot this is a lot more better" Annie praised me
"Yeah you do girl,imma head out to get groceries for my mom.
"We can do them together ,let me get changed .
I changed into a pair of blue jean and an emerald cricket top with a red tanned Crocks.
Annie then stumbled across a journal on my shelf .it appeared to be a large pink scrap book ,which surprised me Annie didn't strike me as a scrap book type.
"oh my God,I rember this it's our 8 grade year book in junior high.
I furrowed my brows in confusion maybe I was a nerd but much preferred good old fashioned scrap booking Annie flipped through the pages reading off various comments which were true and untrue. there was even one about Tyler in 11th grade being in love with Mrs Mary our history teacher.
"who is Tyler?
"lynx friend on the soccer team.
"yh I know him,he's almost too gay to function annie said and we both laughed running down stairs like elephants without directions. My mom was already making dinner in the kitchen.
"Mom IL be seeing Annie out ".
"Annie "my mom called out to her from the living room where she sat gazing at the tv screen .
"Aren't you gonna have dinner with us before leaving?
"I'd love to but I've got some stuffs to do ma"
"Okay stay safe girls and my regards to your parents and bella get those groceries and get back quickly.
"Thanks Mrs Kate,bye"Shutting the door behind us.
********************************************
It's party time!!!!!
You can't stop me
Im untop of the world
They said I'm not gonna make it
But here I am a champion
You need to shut up and watch me win bitch!
I laughed soflty while Annie kept singing out sophia lanez new song while tapping the steering wheel our way to lynx house party. As i looked at the rear view mirror of Annie dad's car my cheeks flushed pink from unwanted attention.
Annie wore a pink Poco dot dress. everyone calls her Barbie of starfeild cause she loved wearing pink fact remained we both looked dazzling and stunning in both our dresses.
we pulled out to the seniors parking lot where many students lulled around i just couldn't break out of my shy shell but not today I'm gonna have fun.
I made it to the hall way everyone was busy dancing to the Rythm of shut up and dance by walk on the moon .
Bella Hudson ,Quinn shouts from behind the bar the second I and Annie entered the house drawing everyone's attention to us my cheeks flushed at the sudden attention as I led the way towards the bar to Shrek attention away from me.
"You came!
"And your loud I said with a small smile on my face as I straightened up "meet my friend Annie"
Annie whistles as she layes on the bar
"he's sexy".
My eyes widened in mortification as I watched Quinn face in horror but a warm smile crosses his face to say
"Nice to meet you".
"Likewise replied Annie" I hear free drinks are on the table.
His teeth widened ,his skin in contract to his dark skin."so what can I get you girls he asked puting the tea towel hanging over his belt top to wipe the bar down.
"Can I get Manhattan? Annie says as she slides into the barstool across from him and many cherries as ur willing to part with it.
He nods and turn his attention to me
"What would you like to have Bella?
"Same thing Annie's having".
"Ok then ,excuse me girls"
"Bella IL be right back don't go anywhere" Annie said in a hurry
"We're you off to now,you said we were going to be together!"I grinned my face
"Im so sorry ,keep my drinks for me i won't take long .
"Ok ,pls hurry".
"Sure babe".
I was getting really bored an tired,my dizzy eyes hit some people harder than others as some students sawy around the house or have glazed over drunk look,while the rest were fine and handling their alcohol right. drunk Annie gestures me over to the table surrounded by the CSU football team according to their letter man jacket .
Bella Hudson Annie shouts from the opposite end of the bar .
"come over here ,what the hell is wrong with you,don't you see how hot they are? already drunk3annie blurted out.
"if there so hot why don't you go fuck them and what the hell did you drink ,you smell like shit?. I grinned my face
" Some alcohol babe ,I'm impressed with you,oh here comes lynx looking over her shoulder.
Just then the man of the moment, so to say showed up. He had the spotlight on him, looking so handsome and radiant in his Italian suit and sporty wave hair. he was the best dressed at the ball. He was walking towards Mandy's direction, she was so excited but sadly he pushed her aside.
''she got what she deserved'' I whispered to Annie''. Annie began laughing out loud and I just couldn't help myself from laughing along.
As I stared,my eyes reached his cyan grey eyes I was now rooted in my place,he looked so radiant,the lights in the room dancing all over him causing shadows to topple over his face ,it was so sickening beautiful that at that moment at the rewarding seconds his eyes met mine and I was unable to stand up from my seat.
Lynx began walking towards the bar counter where I was seated and took a seat beside me I slightly lean my elbow on the counter looking at him while he kept smiling broadly.
''you look beautiful Bella; I like your red gown, it fits you ''
'' thank you, you don't look so bad yourself '' I replied back with a smile.
'' if you don't mind, I would really like to have a dance with you, what do say?
''no uhm is just that…..'' I stuttered because I lacked words to say. Stunned at the situation before me ,i merly watched him hold my hands and planted a kiss on my fore head
Everyone was looking at me that I became frightened; I looked around if I could still see Annie and my eyes caught with hers and she beckoned at me to say yes by nodding her head.
''c'mon yes let's do this ''.i chinned up.
"Okay it's a yes everyone"lynx blutered out
There was lot of applauses and cheers from everyone around. we danced all night in each other's arm, then he pulled me close and for a minute my eyes trailed slowly towards lynx lips and they were taunting me as he stared back into mine with heavy intense.
I could resist it not anymore .
Lynx held my waist so tight as I placed my hands over his shoulders as we connected our lips we kept kissing passionately until I pulled my self away from his tight grip .
We both took a long walk down the streets of stony ville city looking at the bright and shining lights.
''hey, I would like you to come over to my place sometime for dinner, do you honor this invitation?
''maybe I don't know, what if your parents don't like me and….'' Interrupts me.
''trust me they'll love you once they get to know you like I do,I could drop you off if you don't mind?"
'' yeah I really hope so, my house is just down the road so I can get myself home from here''
''alright if you insist, goodnight Bella''
''Goodnight lynx ''
