"I can't wait to see the guy you've been dating" Kenzie said as she fluffed her hair
"Correction: dated. As in, we only went out once" I said as I fixed my make up.
"Still. We wanna meet the guy" Mitch said. I rolled my eyes, and we all turned to look at Claire who was awfully quiet.
"You're awfully quiet, Claire" Mitch said
"I'm just nervous." Claire said "We're like, public school girls, and the people who are gonna be at this party are private school kids."
The three of us looked at each other and worry began to etch on Kenzie and Mitch's face, until I myself, was begginning to worry as well.
I suddenly began to feel worried because when mom and Dave got married, we were the ones who moved to their house because it was bigger.
No doubt mom loved Dave for him and not because of the cold, hard cash, but now that I think about it, it was making me feel worried.
Then there's the fact that my new stepbro is holding a party tonight for his school, and I was the stepsister who went to public school, and the only reason I was gonna be at this party was because we’re stepsibs now.
Then I began to realize that it was my choice to go to public school because it was my last year and school was about to end anyways.
Then there was also the fact that mom may not be as rich as Dave, but at least she's got cash to make the both of us live without Dave.
"Guys. It's okay" I finally said "If ever one of those slutty private girls looks at you funny, you tell me, and I won't hesitate to kick them out"
The three of them turned to look at me with confused looks
"Would Luke want that though?" Kenzie worriedly asked
"Duh. The guy loves me" I said before flashing them a smile.
After hours of getting ready, we began going down, only to see that the house was currently very, very packed. And the first thing they noticed was the fact that private school students’ parties were like the normal public school kids’ parties.
There were more than enough rich kids in school to have us experience the lifestyle without being enrolled in a private school.
"Come on" I said as I pulled them towards the kitchen to get drinks. After getting our own cups, we went to the living room and began dancing with each other. We were getting so much attention, that three guys began approaching us and asked if we wanted to dance. I gave my three friends to the three guys and left the circle to get more drinks.
As I walked to the kitchen, I quickly spotted Luke by the fridge, who was busy flirting with some red head.
I shrugged and simply went over to get the drinks.
As I gulped the contents of the cup, I looked up and saw that Luke was still busy flirting with the red head.
Then all of a sudden, it suddenly felt as if my stomach was filled with goddamn butterflies, my chest suddenly pained, and I had suddenly stopped gulping.
And as if on cue, Luke looked up and as soon as he saw me, he smiled, told something to the red head, and walked over to me.
And by this point, all my senses came back, and I had gulped the drink again.
"Don't you look good" Luke said as he took a sip from his cup
"You don't look half bad" I said, making him let out a laugh and roll his eyes.
"So. Are your friends here?" He asked
"Yeah. About that" I said "They're kinda worried about being here" at this point, Luke's eyebrows began to scrunch up
"What do you mean?" Luke asked as I sucked in breath
"They're worried that the kids here would look down on them because they're just public school kids" I explained, making Luke form his mouth into an 'O'
"Oh. Oh okay. Don't sweat it. I'll handle it if that happens" Luke stated before flashing me a smile
"Thanks" I said as I smiled back at him. I was about to turn around when he stopped me
"What about you? Are you worried?" Luke asked
"No. Why would I be? I know you got my back anyways" I answered. And Luke just looked at me straight in the eye before slowly averting his gaze down and moved it back up.
He began to open his mouth, and probably say something, when arms were wrapped on my waist.
"Hey Kylie" Justin said on my ear before he and Luke did some complicated handshake
"I'll catch up with you later" Luke said before heading back to the redhead and I turned to face Justin.
"So glad you could make it" I told Justin
"Of course." Justin said before planting a soft kiss on my neck. Followed by another.
I was begginning to go in trance, when I remembered something.
"By the way, I want you to meet my friends" I told Justin as I turned to face him
"Um. Okay" he said before flashing me a smile. I then pulled him to the dance floor where my friends were busy making out with the individuals they were dancing with earlier.
As we approached my friends, however, three girls stood beside Mitch and began glaring at her.
Mitch stopped making out with the guy, and faced the three. And I could see her mouth 'can I help you?'
"Holy shit is that Luis?" Justin said, making me look at the guy.
"We better get over there" I said. Justin nodded and we both went over to Mitch, where the girl was currently making a scene.
"We're not dating anymore, Vera" Luis said to the girl. By this point, almost everyone had stopped dancing to watch the scene
