Chapter 25 - Party

A girl in my Art class invited me to a party on Friday night. It was a house party, she was inviting almost the whole school. Red and I were invited too, which surprised me. We both agreed to go.

When Friday finally rolled around, Red and I took a few hours to get ready. I took a long hot shower after supper, brushed my teeth, curled my hair, fluffed it up and pinned it back. I ruffled up the back a bit and gazed at it in the mirror.

I heard a knock on the door, "Brooke?"

It was Red, "Yes?"

"Can I talk to you? Are you decent?"

I glanced down at myself, I was wearing a black towel wrapped around myself, "Uhh… mostly? Sure, come in."

A cool blast of air clouded around the room as the door opened, Red entered and sat on the edge of the tub. I turned back to the mirror.

"So, I never really got to talk to about what you said to your mom…" She started, staring down at her hands, looking nervous.

"What did I say again?"

"About dating me… I didn't ask you out…"

I felt my heart sink, "No, you didn't…"

"But…" I saw her look up at me through the corner of my eye, "Do you want to?"

I took a breath, my face reddened.

I saw hers redden too, "Brooke… Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

I turned to her, curling iron in hand, I couldn't help but smile. The excitement built up in the pit of my stomach and I laughed softly, "Yes…"

She grinned and stood, pulling me towards her and wrapping her arms around me tightly, "Good"

I pulled the towel tighter around me, laughing softly after it slipped slightly "Well, I'd better get dressed, what are you wearing?"

Red shrugged, "Well, I was thinking what I usually wear, maybe a little better."

I laughed, "Alright"

"What about you?"

"Oh… Black tank top and my lime green tripps, white converse."

Red smiled, "Nice."

I nodded and smiled, "So get out so I can change!"

Red grinned, "Okay okay okay…" she said and pulled me close again, kissing me gently.

I sighed and smiled, watching as she walked out the door.

I curled up my hair a little more, getting dressed and examining my outfit in the mirror.

Walking out of the bathroom, I met Red in the living room.

"Ready to go?"

I nodded and smiled, "Do you know how to get there?"

Chris yelled from the next room, "In town, left on Whyterare, go left again at the light, then right on Catt!"

I laughed.

Chris, Red and I climbed into the car and headed to Catt Ave.

When we got there, there was already a lot of people. We got out of the car, looked from the crowded house and to each other.

Chris leaned her head out of the car window, "Call me when you want me to pick you guys up!"

She gave us a bit of money and drove off, we stared up at the house, I subconsciously took Red's hand and squeezed it.

We walked up the stone steps to the large door and knocked.

Megan K. answered, holding the door open.

"Come in!" she shouted over the music, I could smell the alcohol on her breath.

We entered and gazed around the large house. Megan lived in the rich part of town. She was slightly snobby, but all around a nice girl when she wanted to be.

She left us to wander, and stomped off towards two boys that were throwing around a football-shaped glass.

Red and I wandered throughout a few of the rooms, and came to the kitchen.

Red mixed us both a drink and we went and sat in the living room.
