Chapter 2: Party Time
The rest of the week went by smoothly after the events on the first day of school. Brett kept his promise and didn't mention anything about my little secret to anyone, at least that i know of. Chelsea was particularly curious about what we talked about. I think she knew what happened but didn't want to believe it. I guess she saw our interaction in the parking lot and watched me get into his car. I kept my mouth shut, insisting that all he did was drive me home.
In the middle of the week she dropped the topic completely, instead having me help her plan her boyfriend noah's back to school bash. Which also happened to fall on their first anniversary. Noah wasn't a particularly social person, he fell into the hipster/ emo kid groupe at school, so his party's never had more than ten people at them. However since chelsea was in charge there was no telling what was going to happen.
It always surprises me that they ended up together, with noah being so shy and grunge and chelsea being the typical cheerleader type. But they worked good together and i loved having both of them as friends. Don't get me wrong though Noah is hot, like the sneak up and surprise you when he removes those layers type of hot. But i never really found myself wanting him. He was my best friend's girlfriend and i was no slut.
As the week rolled on i dedicated myself to helping with their party. On friday afternoon Chelsea ran into class in a panic.
"No one's getting alcohol, there has to be alcohol." She said with a crazy look in her eye, "What kind of highschool party doesn't have alcohol."
I just stared at her in amazement, "Don't worry my brothers in town for a few more weeks i'll just text him and ask im to pick some up for us." I laugh as her face brightens.
"How could i have forgotten that he was here." She leans back in her chair. I can't tell if it's from relief or if she's remembering her old crush on my brother, "i'll give you money after school to pay him back."
As the school day is coming to a close i text my brother asking him to come pick me up from school. I finish out the last half hour of my class and head to meet chelsea so she can give me the money. I then head towards the door and wait for my brother to get to the school.
15 minutes later i see his car pulling into the parking lot so i gather up my things and walk towards the curb. I get in the car with him and give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey thanks for coming." I say as i slam the door to his car and hand him the money that Chelsea gave me. "Will you drop me off at home first, i need to get ready."
"Sure thing sis, try to dress somewhat conservative." He winks at me.
"Oh you know i will, i'm a nun." I joke back.
A few minutes later he stops in front of the house to let me out.
"I'll be back in a few hours, i have to run some errands of my own while i'm out."
I wave back at him from the driveway "Okay take your time, it'll be awhile before i'm ready."
I turn my back on his car and head into the house to get ready. About an hour after dropping me off i get a text from my brother saying that he'll be back in 30 minutes and that i better be ready. I finish putting on my makeup, nothing too much i don't want it to go everywhere, and get up to decide what to wear. Now i know that nothing is going to happen tonight but i still want to look available so i decide on a black push up bra and a matching thong. Then this little maroon tank top crop top catches my eye and i just have to wear it. I sit there trying to decide between my black skater skirt and my white one when i remember that my brother told me to dress conservative so i grab my only pair of yoga shorts and shimmy into them. Knowing full well that the bottom off my ass will be completely exposed but no one at the party will care they've all seen it before.
I go downstairs just in time to hear my brother pull into the driveway. Wasting no time i head outside ready to start partying.
As i hop into the car my brother says "I see you took my advice and went for a more conservative look."
I smile ignoring what he said "So what did you get us." I start to search through the bags on the floorboard of the car.
"The usual found at highschool parties. Cheap vodka, cheap whisky, and cheap beer." He laughs at his joke. "So you're staying the night at chelsea's after the party?"
"Yes i am." I laugh, "mom and dad would be pissed if i came home drunk."
He agrees and turns the radio up. The drive is quiet until we pull up in front of Noah's apartment and i start unloading the car.
"Hey sis try not to get too drunk tonight." My brother says.
I look back at him innocently, "You know i don't drink, it's everyone else i'm worried about."
With that said i turn around with the bags on my arms and head up the stairs to the apartment. At the top of the stairs I pause for a second trying to remember which apartment was Noah's. However that was answered quickly when I see Chelsea open a door down the hall.
"Hey you're late." she yells down the hall at me.
I pick up the pace walking down the hall "yea, while at least I can make up for it." I smile holding the bags up above my head.
Applause breaks out as I enter the apartment and see that all the usual people were there. I put the bags down on the counter and immediately they were surrounded by eager young alcoholics. I smile and turn to talk to Chelsea and Noah.
