STAY

12.

I was standing in my room, looking myself in the mirror. When I had arrived home, I told Angelica about the party, asking her if it was okay for me to leave her alone with Jacob until my parents came home. She insisted on me going, and when I couldn't find anything to wear, she helped me pick out an outfit and straighten my hair. I did however fix the makeup by myself. Now that I was looking myself in the mirror, I didn't regret asking Angelica for help at all. The person in the mirror was wearing a black high waist skirt that reached her to her knees, a black tank top with her blond hair straightened reaching her to her waist together with a couple of silver earrings, a silver necklace and some black high heels. The makeup was naturally done, with some brown lipstick on her lips and a small winged eyeliner around her eyes.

While walking down the stairs, grabbing my phone and my black Bomber Jacket I walked over Jacob, who was eating his dinner, to say goodnight.

"Be careful tonight Olivia, okay?", Angelica said with a smile on her face. "Maybe tonight's the night that you find your prince charming, but don't let him fool you. Every guys seems like the perfect guy when you have some alcohol in your blood", she winked at me.

Don't worry Angelica, I thought to myself while we were both giggling at the statement. My prince charming won't be at the party tonight.

It wasn't far between my house and Christians, and when I arrived there she was already waiting for me in the driveway, her older sister leaning against the car. They almost looked identical to each other, even though there was four years between them. The only difference was that Christina's sister had longer hair, colored black.

"There you are!", Christina said and waved her hands towards me for me to hurry. The white dress she was wearing with the black leather Jacket and the black high heels made her look even more skinner than she already was. I somehow always envied her for having the skinnier body, but that didn't mean that I didn't like mine.

"Are we in a hurry or something?", I asked her as we all stepped into the car.

"No, but I want to be on time for my boyfriends party."

"To make sure no other girls get around him?", I asked with a grin on my face. Christina could sometimes be very overprotective of Philip. When was she going to realize that he only had eyes for her?

"Exactly!", she said as she put her seatbelt on. "Now lets go!", she said as her sister started the engine and was driving out of the driveway.

Arriving at the party that night, I realized that there were more people there than I expected. Maybe the rumor had gotten out that there was a big party tonight in town. However, as I entered the party, I only saw people that I recognized from school. Most of them were juniors, but there were a couple of seniors and freshmen students as well. Typical Philip to become friends with everyone.

Me and Christina walked inside arm in arm, and noticed that heads turned towards us. I knew that Christina was used to this, due to her slim and sporty body, but I wasn't used to being noticed in big groups. I could feel my cheeks started to flush, but luckily Philip came towards us and most of the people turned their attention on what they did previously.

"You both look great tonight", Philip said and handed us some drinks.

"You don't look to bad yourself", Christina said and smiled towards her boyfriend. It was the type of smile that would show other girls that he was hers. Typical Christina. I stayed quite.

"Well make sure to enjoy yourself and have fun", Philip said and gave his girlfriend a kiss on the cheek. "I have to go and check on the other guys outside. I don't want my mom to come home tomorrow, having to replant everything in her garden".
