Chapter Three

"So what type of party is this" I asked again

as I put Nate's gift away. After lunch, Nate

decided to give me my graduation gift then

and there. He had bought me a gold charmed

bracelet of the ocean. "I told you. It's a normal

party so dress casual" James said as he laid on

my bed throwing a basketball in the air.

"When did you get a basketball" I asked as I

sat on the window ledge. "Two days ago. Cody

and I wanted to play some basketball so we

got one" he explained tossing it in the air.

"Don't try to change the subject" he said sitting

up to look at me.

"The guys and I...including you, haven't been

to a party in a long time. I think it would be

fun" he smiled.

"You knoW, every time someone convinces me

to do something and they say "it will be fun"

something always goes wrong" I glared.

"True but this time it will be different and

if there's any problem we can come home"

he offered. I honestly didn't want to go. It's

been a while since I partied but I knew the

guys would love to go. If I wanted to leave I

wouldn't ruin their night. I'll just go home by

myself. No harm in that.

"Fine. We can go but can Mel come?" I smiled.

He hopped off my bed and ran towards me

then picked me up. "OF COURSE" he squealed

in a girl's voice as he spun me around. "You're

the oldest in the house and you still manage to

be a immature" I laughed.

Mel was my best friend. Who knew that

would happen right? We ended up having

the same classes for 4 years since we were

going for the same major. Over the course, we

became closer to each other and found out

we liked many of the same things excepting

candy so far. We like the same type of movies,

music, books and much more. I let Mel into

my life and she took it pretty well to be

honest. She knows about my background and

my "gifts". She doesn't quite know how I make

my money though. I told her I just help people

and she nodded in understanding.

"I'm only older than you by 4 and a half years"

he glared at me.

"Yea. 4 years isn't anything" I said sarcastically

with a smirk.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed his basketball.

"I'll tell the guys. Be down in an hour" he

smiled before shutting my door as he walked

out.

I pulled out my phone and texted Mel.

Me: There's a party tonight and you're

going if I have to. Dress casual

I grabbed my towel and headed to the

bathroom. I turned the shower on and hopped

in. I rinsed my hair and body. What am I

supposed to do now? I just graduated today

and I never thought of what I would do next.

I don't want to spend my life doing missions

and not try anything else. May l temporary

apply for a job just to feel the experience. I

did get my psychology degree because I do

love that field. I turned off the shower and

Wrapped my towel around me.

I walked out the bathroom and to my closet. I

grabbed a black crop top, black skinny jeans

and a see through black cardigan.

I dried my skin and put deodorant then

cream. I then put my clothes on and blow dry

my hair then straightened it. I did some light

makeup and grabbed my phone to check my

messages. I received a message from Mel 45

minutes ago.

Mel: I love how ur forced to do things and

you have no sayin and ill be ready

Me: ur lucky im picking you up and not

making you walk haha

Mel: you would never. U love me <3 hehe

Me: Debatable :D

Mel::0 that's just cold

Me: see u in a few hoe <3

Mel: takes one to know one <3

I shook my head as I started laughing. I

shoved my phone in my pocket and started

walking downstairs.

"Who ready to partyyy" I shouted as I walked

down the stairs.

"WE ARE" they all yelled back. I looked

around the lobby to see the guys were all

ready. "Dang, I didn't realized I took that long.

Sorry guys" I apologized.

"No worries and you're not late. Randy and

his wifey isn't here yet" Carter said putting his

arm on my shoulder so he could lean. "Must I

always be your wall" I questioned.

"Yes. Yes you must" he grinned and I rolled

my eyes. "SKYLAR" I heard my name being

shouted. We all looked to see who the voice

belonged to.

"Liana" I screamed as she tackled me with a

hug. Liana was Alex's wife. I'm now guessing

everyone was going to the party.

"We're now college grad. Aren't you excited"

she cheered jumping up and down. She's

always full of energy. ALWAYS. You ever

seen the bunny commercial where they are

advertising the energizer batteries? Well that's

her. She just keeps going.

"Yes. I would ask you the same but I already

see my answer" I teased as she smacked me

playfully in the arm. She may be annoying at

times but she was fun to hang around.

"Very funny" she said sending glares at me as

she made her why back to Alex.

I sent a smile to her and looked around the

room to see all the guys mingling. I think

now would be the perfect time to tell them.

I climbed up a few steps and felts a lump

forming in my throat. "Can I have your

attention for just a few" I interrupted them.

They stood their conversation and stared at

me.

"So umm.. I wanted to know how you guys

would feel if I applied for a job. It's only

temporary" I shoved the last sentence out fast.

They all looked at me and shrugged. "Fine

by me" Mason shrugged and the rest agreed.

"You're not mad or anything" I asked.

"No. We all have tried different things before.

You're finally in the phase we were in" Justin

mentioned.

I scrunched up my eyebrow. "Phase?"

"Yeah. Eventually you get tired of moping

around the house and want to experience

the world. Before you moved in, which

would be about 4 years ago or 5, we all tried

different stuff. I applied for college classes

in engineering. Zac tired out for football.

Ethan for soccer and so on. This house can get

pretty...boring" he stated.

True that. Did you guys drop it when I moved

in or do you still continued?" I asked.

"Well after you moved in we stopped for a

while then after a year or so we just picked up

different things" he explained.

I nodded my head and smiled and I walked

down the stairs. "You guys are the best" I said

tackling Justin with a hug then after that it

turned in a group hug.

The door clicked opened. "What did I miss" I

heard Randy's voice.

"Skylar's going to apply for a temporary job"

Liana squeal as we pulled away from the hug.

Hannah then squealed and tackled me with a

hug. "I'm so happy for you" she said jumping

up and down with me in her arms.

"Can't- breath" I chocked out of her tight hug.

She released me and gave an apologetic look.

"Alright. Enough girl squealing before I rip my

ears out. Let get going" James said walking out

the house. We followed after him and I went

to the garage. They decided to take the range

rovers out since it would pick up less place.

Alex was taking his wife in his own are and

Randy was doing the same.

They took the silver metallic rover while the

others took either gold or purple. I told them

I would meet them there since I was going to

pick up Mel. They all agreed and I took the

white and gold Lamborghini.

I drove 10 minutes to Mel's place and pulled

out my phone.

Me: I'm outside

Seconds later my phone went off.

Mel: Comingg

A few seconds later she came out the house

and got into the car. I eyed her to see she was

wearing a short black dress that hugged to

her body. The dress was a v-neck so some off

her cleavage was showing. Her hair was flat

iron and fell to the side.

"What's the vibe? Honesty" she smiled looking

at me.

"You're vibe is like those girls from Mean

Girls" I stated and she started jobing in

her seat. "I was going for that" she cheered

causing me to roll my eyes. I pulled up the

party address and found out it was 20 minutes

away.

"SO who's forcing you to go" Mel asked as she

checked her phone.

"James. I have to tell you something. I know

I should've told you first but just decided a

few hours ago" I stated causing her to look up

from her phone.

"What is it? What did you do?" she asked

worried and yet again I rolled my eyes.

"Why do you always think I did something" I

glared at her causing her to laugh. "Instincts"

she shrugged.

"Well I didn't do anything... yet. I'm going to

apply for a job" I announced.

I then felt a punch to my arm. "The hell Mel!"

I groaned.

"You scared me!! I thought you were going to

say you're pregnant" she shrieked.

"Oh yeah. That too. I'm pregnant" I teased.

"You're despicable" she said rolling her eyes.

"Naww you love me and you know it" I said

sticking my tongue out at her.

She did the same in return and we burst out

laughing. "I'm happy for you" she smiled.

"What type of job are you going for?" she

asked.

"Something in business" I shrugged.

"That's good. Can I help you look for a job" she

asked.

"Sure" I replied causing her to cheer.

We finally made it to the party and it turned

out it was a mansion party. I was kind of

expecting a house party to be honest. "Woah"

Mel said in amazement. She rarely went to

mansion parties.

I parked the car around the driveway and got

out thee car along with Mel. "Ready to party"

she said smirking at me.

"Born ready" I smirked back.

We looped out arms together and marched in

towards the music.
