Unexpected

Chapter One

I'm so excited for tonight! I text my best friend, Bridget.

I'm excited too! Tonight's gonna be so much fun! She replied.

Bridget has been my best friend for three years. We met through after school activities in our early high school years and we've watched each other grow up and mature as individuals. She has neck short brown hair, that hourglass figure, and she's extremely beautiful! We are so different sometimes I wonder how we get along. We are completely different but we introduce new things for each other to enjoy and we end up bonding over that. It's a weird system but it's a weird system that works.

I'm Morgan by the way. I'm a senior in high school and so excited for my last year! I have dirty blonde hair, more blonde than brown, that goes a little longer than my shoulders and sky blue eyes. I'm relatively thin but I am a little big in some places but it doesn't bother me. I have that athletic build.

It's July 4th. Bridget was having a Fourth of July party at her house. She was inviting some of her friends she went to middle school with and some friends from our high school so I was comfortable knowing that I'd know more people than just her and her little brother.

I will see you in about 10 minutes girl! I text her before leaving my house.

"Morgan do you have all of your stuff you need for tonight?" My mom called out to me.

"Yes mom!" I say.

"Bathing suit, towel, hair brush, pajamas?" My mom calls out a list of stuff I need to bring for the party tonight.

"Yes mom, I got everything!" I love my mom. She always helps me remember everything since I don't want the best memory. I don't know what I would do without her.

I grab my bag and pillow and head to the garage.

"Okay then. Let's go party!" My dad paraded around the house flinging his arms in all different directions trying to dance.

"Dad, you need to stop before you throw your back out," I say.

"Oh come on. Don't be jealous of my moves," my dad continued to dance.

"Yeah, moves once upon a time," my mom joked.

All three of us piled in the car to head to Bridget's house. She didn't live too far away from my house, maybe about 10-15 minutes. I was really excited for tonight! It was my first Fourth of July party and I got to spend the night too.

So in no time we were driving into her twisted dirt road. Her dog Chelsea ran outside barking at us. Chelsea is one of those dogs that barks when cars come up but becomes the sweetest thing when she see's who you are. "Hi baby!" I said to Chelsea as I opened my car door. "How's my favorite doggy doing?" I baby talked her while rubbing her belly like she always loves.

I got out of the car and ran to Bridget. "Best friend!" I opened my arms out and hugged her. She is one year younger than me and I act five years younger than her. "Buddy!" She says.

"Let me go get my stuff," I say walking back to the car.

"Hi Bridget!" My mom waves.

"Hello!" She replies.

I grab all of my stuff and walk with Bridget towards her house.

I walk in and immediately get embraced by Bridget's mother. "Hi sweetie!" She says.

"Hi mom!" Me and Bridget are so close her mom is practically my mom.

"So glad y'all could come tonight," she says as my parents enter the house.

"Well thank you guys for inviting us," my mom replies.

Bridget and I broke off from our parents and went down the hallway to her room so I could put my stuff down there. "I saw Emily's truck, where is she?" I ask.

"She's in the bonus room playing Call of Duty with Meigs," she replies.

"Well then let's go," I say.

We walk through the house into their bonus room off of the kitchen. "Hi Emily! Hi Meigs!" I say.

"Hi Morgan!" They reply at the same time.

Meigs kills three guys in a matter of five seconds. "Nice kill Meigs," I compliment.

He didn't say anything but that's just how he is so I ignored it.

"Morgan, these are my friends Fiona and Leenor from middle school," she introduces me. I turn around to find two girls sitting in the corner of the room together. One had bleach blonde hair and was really pretty, and the other girl had brown fine curly hair, and really pretty as well.

"Hi! I'm Morgan!" I introduce myself.

The blonde is Fiona and the other is Leenor. All four of us talk while I'm waiting for Emily and Meigs's game to end so I can talk to her.

Not much time went by before they were done. Emily and I went off to the side to talk a little.

There was a pretty good crowd here tonight. There are people inside, people outside, and people on the patio. Right when I thought the house couldn't take anymore people I heard the door open.

"Gosh how many more people can this house take?" I thought to myself.

I look at the people I'm probably not going to socialize with tonight and I freeze when my eyes landed on a guy. I have never been so stunned to see someone. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

He has brown hair like Bridget's and it's not too long but not too short. I recon he's a little shorter than me, but not by much. He has wide shoulders and I can tell he's in shape. He's one of the most handsome guys I've ever laid my eyes on.

It was just like in the movies, when he came into view it was like the world slowed down. Everything was in slow motion. He looked my way and we made eye contact. I have never felt this way towards someone from just one glance. It was like, I started to have feelings for him? No, that can't be. I don't even know the guy's name and I just laid eyes on him not even 30 seconds ago, I can't already have feelings for him.

But man he was so attractive. I never really put much thought into love at first sight till my eyes fell on him.

"Hey Bridget?" I call her over, not looking away from him.

"Yeah?" I hear her respond.

"Who's that?" I ask nodding at the guy.

"Oh that's Colton. Why?" She asks.

"No reason," I say, my eyes still locked with his.

He sends me a slight smirk.
