"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.
