Whilst we where eating dinner Jere decided to start being annoying "So Cam. You mind if I call you Cam Cameron?" He asked while I elbowed him making him look at me and smile. "Mm-hmm. Yeah, man. Feel free. That's funny." Cam Cameron said, wow I was not expecting him to be fine with Jere's teasing "cool" Jere replied definitely not satisfied by his reaction.
"I'm glad you're here, Cameron. I know your mom, Denise, from the club. I've heard a lot about you" Susannah speaks up "thank you so much for having me, Susannah, my mom says hi" Cam Cameron said, ok wow didn't know a boy could be as polite as this, I turned to Jere whispering in his ear "how come you don't act as polite as him?" I ask, Jere just chuckled before whispering in my ear "there's a huge difference between us. He's a polite boy who'd never fuck you on the beach, however I would and I did I'd also do it again if I got the chance to" I then got goosebumps from his hot breathe on my neck.
When me and Jere rejoined the conversation at the table we heard Laurel talking about Cam Cameron being vegetarian "why don't you eat meat, Cam Cameron?" Jere asked "Uh, the meat industry is, like, the number one contributor to global warming" Cam said making me smile a bit "yeah, uh, star talks about that stuff all the time" Ben said piping up into the conversation causing Cam Cameron to look at me and smile which I happily returned back.
"And I just, I like animals." Cam Cameron continued "just don't come for my leather jacket" Taylor said thinking she was funny "I'm pretty sure you mean pleather" Steven said, trying to annoy Taylor "ooh" I heard Jeremiah say then laugh "you know, uh, actually, Belly eats meat. So, you let her kiss you with those lips?" Jeremiah asked making my eyes widen a bit to which I then dug my elbow right into his side "ow, ok that was to hard this time" Jere said grabbing my arm away from his side making a few chuckles come from Andrea and Amelia.
"Stop" belly then said annoyed at Jere "No, I don't judge people for eating meat, it's just a person choice. I don't care" Cam Cameron explained "So you don't mind if, uh, like, her lips touch a dead animal and then those dead animal lips touch your lips right? Ow" he said, I then laughed knowing belly had just kicked him under the table "I don't mind at all, um, in fact..." Cam said then kissed bells everything went silent then Jere whispered in my ear for only me to hear "should we show them how it's done?" He asked "say another word and I'll break your jaw" I smiled at him sarcastically.
Jere then turns to Steven and they both pretend to be sick "all right, all right" laur started "Belly's allowed to kiss, but that's it" she continued laughing "oh my god laur please no never say anything like that ever again I beg of you" I said cringing "yeah mom, no your so not funny, no more wine for you" belly said making me laugh a bit.
"I'm sorry, I just don't understand why anybody would want to kiss somebody who once fully shat in the bathtub." Steven said making belly defend herself "I was like 2 years old" she said "two? More like six" Steven and Jeremiah said at the same time "shut up Steven you, used to pee all over Connie, Ben and Jere in the bath when you where the same age" I said causing Susannah to speak up "Aw I remember that. God that feel like a lifetime ago." She said smiling "I remember when I visited last summer, and you, you and you dared him to pee in the fireplace and you stunk up the entire house for days. Do you remember that?" Taylor said whilst pointing at all the boys.
Everyone then started laughing at Steven "I blamed the neighbours cat" Susannah said sounding very unamused "we were drunk, we were drunk" Steven said defending himself "on like half a White Claw" I said laughing at him "she got you there" Jere spoke up "you know, um, I'm thinking maybe we should go to Nicole's party" belly said to me, Andrea, Amelia and Taylor "yes" Taylor said sounding excited.
As we were all finishing up getting ready Taylor turned around and picked up one of the flower crowns "hey guys, why don't we wear these to the party" "wh... I mean, Susannah got those as, like, a fun thing for my birthday dinner, isn't it weird if we wear them out of the house" belly asked "yeah bells but they'd look so cute with all our outfits" I told her "exactly plus we all look hot with them on" Taylor told bells.
As we pulled up to the party we all got out Cam Cameron's car, once we got in the house, let's just say it was very very crowded "Belly, star you came" Nicole came up to us sounding happy and gave us both a hug "hey Nicole you look so pretty" belly said "yeah you look stunning" I smiled at her "oh, me? Look at you. Oh, my goodness, are those real flowers?" She asked
"Yes" belly smiled "incredible, well we have to show Gigi" she said grabbing both mine and belly's hands and taking us with her "yeah yeah totally" belly said back "yous guys wanna come" belly asked to which Taylor and Cam Cameron both said no to. I quickly looked over at Amelia and Drea to see if they wanted to come with to which they just both shook their heads no.
"Guyssss, look who's here" Nicole said in a sing-song voice "happy birthday" they all said to bells "thank you, thank you guys" belly smiled to them all "um is this for me?" Belly asked laughing "who else would it be for, belly?" Nicole smiled over at bells "oh my.. thank you guys" she spoke "these cakes are amazing Nicole" belly continued.
"I never miss a chance to have a Sofia Coppola moment" Nicole said "okay well belly make a wish" she continued while the girls laughed a bit at her comment before, belly then blew out the candles before Gigi asked me "Oh, star, where's Jeremiah?" Gigi asked, for a second I thought about sending her in the complete opposite direction he was but I then decided that I could trust Jeremiah, I mean when has he ever done anything for me not to trust him.
"Um, I think he's over by the drinks table." I smiled at her "who's thirsty?" Gigi asked "you clearly" one of the girls said making us all laugh.
I then decided to look over to where Jeremiah was and saw Amelia and him talking and laughing, hmm weird I don't think I've ever seen them two talking once in my life unless Amelia was trying to talk to Jere about me which I could tell she wasn't doing right now.
"Wait yous two live with him yous should know what he's up to" one of the girls said "uhhh, Connie usually uhm, keeps to himself- well this summer he has been, ehm I'm sorry but I'm gonna go look for my friends but uhm have fun and Nicole thanks for inviting me" I smile at all the girls before running off looking for everyone.
That's weird the couch was now completely empty, oh well I guess I'll just go look for everyone.
After searching the whole of the downstairs I couldn't find anyone except Cam Cameron who was in the kitchen drinking water from one of those red plastic cups. I decided to go look upstairs, so I checked every room upstairs and one room was locked which was hella weird considering, no one ever locks doors no matter what people are doing in the room.
I finally walked into the last room, I walked into see two people kiss then turn around and let me tell you when I saw who the two people where I mouth practically became non existent with how low it dropped and my eyes nearly came out my head with how wide they got.
"OH MY GOD" I yelled looking at Drea and Ben "when-where-how-why- ewwwww drea why him" I said completely confused "WAIT" I yelled "DOES THIS MEAN SHE'S GONNA BE MY SISTER OH MY GOD THIS IS SO EXCITING, WHEN'S THE WEDDING" I began yelling at the two making Ben groan and drea laugh "uhm why don't me and you go downstairs starlight" drea smiled at me.
"Ok yea let's go" I said walking out the room and beginning to make my way downstairs.
After about 20 minutes of drinking in the kitchen me and drea decided to go outside and see if anyone was out there and surely enough Jeremiah, Amelia, Connie, Ben and Cam Cameron where out here. "Hey" I said smiling and walking up to stand beside Jere he just looked at me for a couple of second before giving me a forced smile "hey" "uh, where have you guys been, I've been looking for yous?" I asked Amelia and Jere "oh just you know, hanging around" he said to which I just nodded at, although I did see Connie give Jere a weird look but I just brushed it aside.
Although what was weirding me out is the fact Amelia has been basically glued to Jere's hip all night, but I just brushed that aside as well not putting much thought into it, maybe she was just trying to be friends with my friends I thought to myself.
"Uh, so what are you guys playing?" I heard Drea ask from beside me "bear pong" Ben answered "wait Cam I thought you didn't drink?" I asked Cam Cameron confused "yeah, yeah I don't Jeremiah's been drinking for me" he said to which I nodded.
"Star is that you?" I heard someone ask so I turned around and saw Leo (idk if his names Leo or not I can't remember but it's the guy from the first chapter) standing in front of me with some of his friends "oh, uh, Leo heyy" I said awkwardly and at the corner of my eye I saw Jere's jaw clench "how've you been" he asked me trying to make conversation "uh, good what about you?" I asked "yeah good uh, I uh, have to go back I'll see you later" he said whilst starting to walk away "yeah cya" I smiled at him.
"Wait was that the guy you were hooking up with at the bonfire?" I heard Connie ask from behind me "yup" I replied.
After about 20 more minutes bells came walking out looking really upset, which made me a bit confused.
"Yeah, I-I thought you didn't drink" belly Cam Cameron confused "it's water, Jeremiah's been drinking for me" Cam said telling belly what he told me earlier "mhm I love this kid so much" Jeremiah drunkenly laughed.
"Hey can we uh, leave?" Belly questioned making me even more confused than I already was "like now?" Belly asked again "Yeah, um, yeah. Sure, that's cool" Cam Cameron said "Uh, I'll see you later" Cam Cameron told Jeremiah "Star if you wanna ride home, you can come with us" bells told me "uh yea I'm coming the now" I told her, I then looked at Amelia and Andrea asking if they where coming with to which they both nodded except Amelia was wayyyy more hesitant than Drea which made me confused again.
"Uh, you're-you're all going?" Jere questioned looking at me "uh yeah, I'll see you at home tho" I smiled at him to which he returned before saying bye and kissing me on the cheek to which Amelia just stood and watched whilst kind of glaring at us, what the fuck?
As we where walking out I asked belly "hey uh, shouldn't we wait for Taylor?" I asked bells "nope come on let's go" she said and then I knew something definitely happened between those two.

When we got home I took a shower then got ready for bed, whilst I was lying down Drea came over and got into bed with me and pulled me into cuddle with her "hey don't you think it was kinda weird how close Amelia and Jeremiah were?" She asked me, "I mean yeah kinda but I'm sure it's nothing, I mean I trust Jere" I told her whilst smiling to which she just nodded and we both fell asleep together.
______________________
I walked downstairs and saw bells and Jere talking "morning" I heard Jere say to me "morning" I replied smiling to which jere just smiled back and gave me a guilty look, that I ignored and talked to bells about Taylor.
We all decided to go a muffin run to get out the house, so I went up and told drea while belly was getting the keys and then ran downstairs and got in the car.
As we where driving I was looking out the window when I felt Jere's stare on me "you good?" He asked me "mhm just thinking..." I replied back to him "about?" Bells asked I looked at them both deciding if I should tell them or not "uhhhh, did you know I caught Ben and Drea hooking up in a room at Nicole's party last night?" I asked them both causing both their eyes to widen "uhmmm, nope I definitely didn't know about that" Jere said sounding shocked.
I then decided to move the topic onto something different "bells, what's going through your head right now?" I asked her "a lot" she replied making me chuckle a bit she then started "I just, I don't get Conrad this summer." "Why? Is it because he forgot your birthday?" Jere asked they then continued to talk about Conrad but I could care less so I drowned them out.
Then I felt Jere's stare back on me again which I decided to ignore.
_______________________
We went to the bus to drop Taylor Amelia and Andrea off which I was really not excited for especially knowing I'm not gonna see my best friends for a while.
"I'm gonna miss you so much" I told Drea near enough in tears "me to, but we're gonna see each other again really soon, I promise" she said holding out her pinky and getting me to do a pinky promise with her which made me laugh.
I then turned to Amelia and hugged her although she didn't really hug me back, "I'm gonna miss you" I told her "yeah....me to" she said sounding really awkward which made me really confused I mean it didn't take a genius to forgive out who I was closer to out of the two of them but Amelia has never acted this way with me before.
"Well uhm, bye" Amelia said getting on the bus, I just looked over at Andrea and hugged her again smiling "I love you" I told her "not as much as I love you" she told me "impossible" I said laughing at her and then we finished saying goodbye and I watched her get on the bus, I then made my way back to the car and we left to go back home, I mean I was really upset that Andrea and Amelia where gone but I still have Belly and Jeremiah.
