Chapter 2.
*NEXT DAY*
My eyes fluttered open to the shining razes of sunlight that creeped into my bedroom from the thin white curtains over my windows. My body rolled over to lay flat on my back, the ceiling suddenly became very interesting as I pictured the events from last night. It scares me to even think about ever running into that guy again and having the same thing happen to me. Why would he even do that in the first place? He doesn't even know me, or does he? No..
I tried my best to shake away the feeling of his lips on mine or the feel of his tongue passing over my bottom lip. But it was difficult. No guy has ever done to me and now it's all I can think about.
"Paige!" I heard Kennedy shout as she walked down the hallway towards my bedroom. She gently knocked on my door and ended up creeping it open. I quickly plopped myself up on my elbows and turned my head towards the door to look at her standing in front of it.
"What happened?" I asked her.
"Your friends are here to see you. Is it okay for them to come up now? Or do I tell them to wait until you're ready?" Kennedy asked.
"They can come up if they want. Tell them it's fine by me." No introduction was need to know it was just Claire, Allison, and Ariana.
"Alright, I'll go tell them." Kennedy smiled while leaving my room.
Not wasting another second, I stood up from my bed and started to make my room tidy enough for them to not notice all the mess I had from last night. Normally I'm not messy at all but coming home at 12:30 a.m. doesn't give me much of a choice to clean up. And even if they've seen my room messy at times I still think it's rude to leave it however.
My bed was neatly made in a matter of seconds and I was just about to drop my uniform from last night into the laundry basket when I heard my bedroom door open once again, this time revealing three figures.
"Morning, Paige." Allison gracefully smiled.
"Hi girls, you can sit where ever you want, let me just finish putting these last few stuff away." I replied as I walked over to my closet with my bag in one hand and my leather jacket in the other.
"I see you're cleaning up your room." Claire joked.
"Sorry, I literally just woke up."
"This late?" Allison asked pulling out her phone and glancing at the screen before setting it down on my mattress, "It's 4:56?"
"What!" I asked shocked as I closed my closet doors and walked over to them.
"Yeah. What time did you end up going to bed?" Ariana asked.
I had no idea it was this late, none the less, what time I even fell asleep.
"Paige!" Claire snapped her fingers in front of my face in effort to wake me up.
"Huh?" I glanced back up at them with a confused look on my face, clearly I was lost.
"Is everything okay? You've been acting really strange ever since last night? Do you want to talk about it?" Claire asked.
"You can trust us." Ariana added.
I wanted to tell them, I mean I really did. But it's just something that I've never experienced before so I don't know what to expect. Will they support me or say I'm overreacting with all of this. But in the outcome, they're my friends and they trust me with their secrets too, no matter how personal.
"It's just that.. Last night at Charlie's, the weirdest thing happened."

"Holy Shit!" Claire blurted out.
"You've got to be kidding me?" Ariana spoke disbelieving.
"I wish I was." My head sunk down into my hands, a deep sigh fell from my mouth.
"Are you going to do something about that?" Allison asked.
"Like what?" I spoke with a bit of sarcasm in my words. I didn't want to be rude but I'm really confused and scared at the same time.
The room became silent, nothing was heard but the vibration noise coming from Allison's phone in which we all decided to ignore. All of a sudden I felt a small warm hand gently rub my back.
"I'm sorry, Paige, what can we do to make it better?" Ariana asked.
It was nice that they were willing to help me but it's not just something I can forget about so easily. This guy could be a stocker for all I know, I'll never know when 'that' can happen again.
My head raised just in time to see a small smirk creep into Allison's face as she read her text.
"Paige, I think I have an idea!" She shrieked.
We all created the same mystified look on our face towards Allison's gesture, what can she be up to now?
"Just get dressed and you'll find out." She smiled, "You guys too." She pointed at Claire and Ariana.
"But..."
"Ehh!" She quickly interrupted me. Her eyes locked on mine in a deadly look as if she was my mother. "You can thank me later, but for now, I need you to get dressed up."
I don't want to go, I don't even want to leave my house and I think I made myself pretty clear. But knowing Allison, she'll hunt me down and grab me by the ear if she had to just so I can go where she wants. And its not just with me, she acts like that with everyone. I guess it's part of her personality, but hey, it makes her happy when things go her way and she's always right no matter how crazy it sounds.
"Can you at least tell us the occasion?" Claire asked Allison, leaning forward towards her to try and get a small glimpse of the message. Allison was quick to lock her phone and put it in her back pocket before anyone can look at it."Ah ah ah.. No peeking! Just trust me." She smirked.
We three decided to just go with it and see where this adventure takes us.

I walked out of my bathroom wearing nothing but a bra and underwear, which I placed in there before I took a shower so when I was done I wouldn't have to come out naked. My feet began to trudge their way up to my closet with the least desire to go anywhere tonight, but after thinking about it for a while I decided it was probably going to be okay. What's the worst that can happen?
Not caring on what I should wear, I picked out the first thing I saw. I slipped on a pair of baby blue high waisted skinny jeans, a grey muscle cut V neck shirt, and black low top converse. My look was topped off with a black leather jacket that I didn't even bother to zip up.
I let my damp hair flow down from the previous bun it was in leaving it in light beach curls. There was very little makeup applied in my face before misting my body in perfume. I grabbed my phone and shoved it in my back pocket as I made some final adjustments to my room,meaning, placing all these books that were on my bed. Just as I put the last one on its shelf,I felt my phone vibrate. I was quick to answer it since it startled me.
"Yeah?" I asked, mentally knowing it was Allison.
"I'm parked in your driveway, get out here." She spoke a little to fast through the other line.
"Alright, I'm on way." I responded before hanging up.
I was surprised I was on time this time,I'm usually the last one to get everything in place. But I'm glad I don't have to hear 'Hurry Up' as often.
I shut the lights off in my bedroom as I ran out into the hallway and down the stairs to come face to face with the front door. My house keys were ripped out of the hanger in a hurry before slamming the door wide open. A chill ran down my body as I felt the cold air hit me when I made contact with the area outside. It was quite. Well, it always is but my neighborhood is different from the loud and busy streets of the city.
"Paige! Let's go!" Allison called out from her car and making honking noises.
I held my hand up and told her to wait as I locked the front door. Once I finished, I ran up to her car and hopped on the backseat since the front was already occupied by Ariana.
It was quiet for a short moment as Allison drove out of my driveway but that didn't last long once she gained confidence that there's no turning back now.
"Are you girls ready to go to a house foreclosure party?"
