Mason Cooper

Friday came faster than I thought it would, and by now pretty much the entire junior class was invited to my party tonight. I invited people who invited more people who invited more people, and now this was going to be one of the biggest parties of the year. I'm pretty sure a lot of seniors were going to be coming too, since I invited Cast, who knows almost everyone.

I was disappointed that Andrew was coming, but it was inevitable considering his best friends were all going. Over the past couple of days Andrew has gotten closer and closer to me and my friends. I felt like he was taking over. Lincoln thought Andrew was the coolest guy in school, Lizzie talks with him like they've known each other forever,even Amelia enjoys hanging out with him, and all the girls in school were fawning over him. He was completely taking over!

Charlie and Lizzie were going to come over and help me set up once school was over. Once again I sat in my last class sitting in the back looking at Andrew sitting next to Charlie in my old seat.

"When are tryouts?" Finn asked.

"For soccer?" I asked. He nodded. "Tuesday I think. Don't worry about it though. You'll make the team, we've been on varsity since our freshman year." I reassured him.

"Yeah, but I'm not the captain."

"I'll make sure that you make it on." I whispered.

"I heard Andrew is trying out." he nodded forwards.

I clenched my jaw, "Yeah."

"Is he any good?"

"Not sure. Apparently he's been playing since he was like five or something." I shrugged.

"Is he a threat to our positions?" Finn seemed nervous.

"I don't know, but we're some of Coach's favorites, so I think we're good."

Mr. Clarke started talking and ended our conversation. Forty-five minutes later class was over and I met Lizzie and Charlie in the parking lot.

"Ready?" I asked them.

Lizzie nodded, "Should we stop at the store first? To get some stuff?"

I shook my head, "No, I had my housemaid go out and get some stuff when we were at school."

"Housemaid." Charlie repeated quietly. Like she couldn't wrap her mind around my family's wealthiness. They climbed into the backseat of my car, wanting to sit next to each other. As I drove away from the school I glanced back to see the two of the giggling and whispering over something on Charlie's phone.

"What's going on back there?" I asked.

"Nothing." Lizzie responded quickly.  I didn't say anything else and concentrated on their quiet whispers.

"Was Ethan mad?" Lizzie asked.

"No, he just told us not to forget about him." Charlie responded.

"Have you told Mason yet?" Lizzies voice was even softer but I still heard. She mentioned my name. What were they talking about?

"No, but I think I have to tonight. I won't be able to keep it a secret for much longer."

A secret? Was Charlie going to confess her feelings for me? How long has she been keeping a secret? I should've asked Lizzie a long time ago. Of course Lizzie would know, they were best friends. At least now I know. If Charlie was going to tell me how she felt tonight, then tonight is going to be the perfect night for me to make my move, and I have the perfect gesture.

People started arriving at six. I told people to bring their swimsuits if they wanted to swim. I had the pool cleaned and the majority of the party would take place outside. I also set up for the rooms in the downstairs off the pool to be partied in. The bar was fully stocked and loud music blasted through the entire house and patio.
