chapter 3
I still turned down Chris's invitation to the party.The guy constantly begged me to go making all sort of promises and compromises.Carl left me alone too and I was more than happy for that.Finally it was Friday which means two free days doing nothing but watching movies and being lazy.I was kinda surprised to see Ian waiting for me in front of the school since he's usually not out of work at this time of the day.
"Why are you here?" I asked immediately I was close to him.
"My boss is sending me out of town for the weekend on a business trip"he answered as he drove me home.
"Why didn't you tell me" its not like I can stay by myself but a little heads up would have been better.
"I did"
"When"
"five minutes ago were you not listening" I glared at him.
"fine sorry it slipped my mind. But I trust you will be alright. I ll be back on Sunday."
"ok"I grumbled. he dropped me home and left. He had already packed his stuffs.I made dinner for one and headed straight to my room. I called my best friend back home, Elle, and we spoke all night till o fell asleep. I woke up around 8 the next day and hit the couch immediately I was done eating and freshened up. I watched Kyle xy. I remember when we bought this dvd. I was back with my aunt Martha and Ian was visiting. he bought it for me before leaving. It was our favourite series before it got cancelled. how tragic. Halfway through the second season and a empty bowl of popcorn,I heard the sound of glass breaking from outside.I turned on the lights and rushed outside.I saw three guys running away and one of them turned to smirk at me while he threw a shirt at me.It turned out to be Carl Amnell. They toilet papered my front yard and broke my brother's favourite flower pot. His shirt had the word 'karma' written on it and it still had the coffee stain. I guess he wasn't lying about not washing it. Ian was going to kill me when he gets back and I am so not going down alone.I spent about an hour and half cleaning my front yard and getting rid of my broken pot. I barely made it to the couch before I heard the door bell. I groaned and went back to open it.
"What are you doing here Chris?"I demanded impolitely.
"Well hello to you too."He said sarcastically. I turned away from him and headed back to couch to continue my movie.Chris took that as an invitation and welcomed himself in.
"so I was on my way to Tyler's party and I thought to myself "
'What kind of friend would I be if I let Cassie stay all by her self on a Saturday night while I enjoy myself at a party' so here I am to get you" he explained.
"Tell that voice thanks but no thanks. I am perfectly happy on this couch."
"No you are not. Just come with us please. Carla will meet us there. plus Tyler will be expecting you. Let's go have the time of our life" he looked desperate to have me go. I just couldn't say no. I groaned and stood up to go change. I wore a jean a tank top and let my black hair loose.A little bit of mascara and lip gloss and my flat and I was good to go. I really wasn't a makeup kinda girl. Chris drove us there in his brother's car. The house was huge. I didnt think the Tyler dude was that rich.
"Cassie you came!" Carla squealed and ran to our side. She pulled us inside where people were dancing and drinking. It was a typical high school party.
"Cassandra you made it. I was beginning to think you wouldn't make it" I guy said to me. I am guessing this is Tyler. He was wearing a white shirt with black leather jacket and jeans.he was holding a plastic cup.
"Yeah it was a last minute decision." I explained.
"glad you decided to come." he smiled at me without breaking eye contact.
"hey uh..?"
"Carla" she finished for him and they shook hands. then he turned to Chris.
"Clement right?"
"Its Chris" he corrected him. I didnt miss Carla give Chris the I told you so look with a smug expression.
"I hope you are enjoying the party."he turned back to me.
"Honestly, not really." I answered. This place was full of those who feel superior to others. I have caught a few of them give us the 'what are they doing here look'.
" Maybe we can change that". he was about to say something when some called him and he excused himself.
"That was awkward" Chris broke the silence.
"at least now he knows your name Chris." Carla teased.
"I get you both something to drink" he walked away. It was so obvious he did it to escape Carla.
"I think Tyler is fond of you." she teased.
" Nah he was just being nice"I shrugged. He looked like he was a great guy but I don't see him and me going anywhere. Chris came back with two cans of coke. Carla took hers and got lost in the crowd. This party was really boring to me and obviously Chris.Tyler really tried to keep is company but I guess you can't host a party and fully enjoy it.his words not mine. Chris looked so out of place.
"Wait here I ll be right back."Tyler said and rushed off again.
Chris and I decided to leave.
"On a bright side we got free cans of coke."Chris said trying to justify his ruining my weekend.
"I got a fridge full of cokes. I didnt need to go to a party for it."
Turns out Carla lived around so she didn't need a ride. Chris drove me home and I went straight to bed from exhausting. Hoping that Ian wouldn't notice the missing flower pot.
