The boys all walk me to my door and i give them awkward smiles and thank them. As i get my key out of my bookbag and start to unlock my door, calum says,"Hey, Skylar...i know were not friends or anything but i wanted to see if you wanted to go to one of my mate's parties tomorrow night.". Noticing the tone of Calum's question Ashton says,"Come on boys- we have some practicing to do!" in his adorably upbeat voice. "But i thought we only practiced-"Luke gets interrupted by michael who elbows him in the shoulder and gives him a look. "Ohhh- um goodnight skylar!" he says awkwardly. And i watch as he, michael, and ashton walk away into the dark street laughing at something stupid probably. It's then that i relize that me and calum are alone. i think back to the nights when we were "together" and he would kiss me right where we were standing. i blink realizing i spaced out. "so is that a yes?Im pretty sure its a yes." calum says. I look at him for a few moments.Hes gazing at me with those gorgeous brown eyes of his and as much as i want to tell him no and slam the door in his face i dont."Sure- i guess.But only because i dont want to be completley anti social tomorrow night." i exclaim. "Sureeee." he says, And with that he winks and dissapears into the night.I couldve sworn i felt my heart flutter, but then i grabbed ahold of myself.

It's 6;00 on saturday night and Calum is picking me up in just two hours, along with the rest of the boys who last minute decided to come along.Thats good becuase at least i enjoy being around them.I look through my closet.Ripped jeans? Black dresses?A jacket? im not used to getting invited to parties because i dont.What am i supposed to wear?? you know what? fuck it i'll put on the ripped jeans and the leather jacket. tonight im a badass.Now where is my eyeliner??

I feel my face flush as Calum eyes me up and down as i walk towards the parked subaru.obviously his mom's. "Holy shit. is it hot in here?!" he yells as i climb into the passenger seat and say hello to the boys in the back. They all look really nice. Band tees, jean jackets, black jeans. i guess i got the memo. "Oh my god stop it!" i say before hitting Calum on the arm. "What?You look like a babe!"he says eyeing me up and down again. "Just shut up and drive please." i say uncomfortably. Im not used to attention,a nd i feel awkward being complimented.Ecspecially when im dressed in something that happenes not to be a hoodie and sweatpants. Luke, michael, an ashton break out in song screaming,"SHUTUP AND DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE!." I roll my eyes.
The rest of the ride towards the party is a blur of offkey karaoke to blink 182 and all time low songs.i even find myself singing along at some points.I can feel Calum smiling at me the entire ride."I'm glad you came." he says. Since i was actually enjoying myself i replied,"Me too.".

As we walk towards the party i can literally feel the heavy bass of some rap song. This party won't last. It wont be long until neighbors complain about the extremely loud music and call the cops.
When we get to the door Calum looks at me. He bites his lip.He looks like hes about to say something but he doesn't. " Skylar..um just stay close to me. I dont want you getting hurt. Alot of crazy shit happens at these things." . I look down at my shoes feeling like a child being told to be careful at an amusement park. "Fine." I grumble. I dont like being told to do. Ecspecially if I know I'll be fine.
But i had no idea how downhill the rest of my night would be...
