The doorbell rang.
"Girls?" Reilly's mom called up to us, "your
ride is here!" "Crap." Reilly said under her
breath, she still hadn't decided which of the four outfits
she wanted to wear. "C'mon you look great in that!
Let's go!" Payge said, literally dragging Reilly out of
the room.
We ran down the stairs, and Reilly said 'good bye' to her
mom as we hurried out the door before she could say anything
about our shorts being too short or our tops being too tight.
Owen's dark green jeep was waiting on the curb in front of
Reilly's house. As we got closer to the car, I noticed Caden
in the passenger seat next to Owen.
Caden climbed into the back so we could pile in after him. I got
into the car next, then Payge, and Reilly in the passenger seat.
The backseat wasn't nessecarily made for three people so it
was a little tight. I basically had to sit on Caden's lap;
it's a good thing we're such close friends because that
would be so awkward if we weren't.
The ride to the party was longer than it would be if it were
anywhere else in town. Tabor's house is on the outskirts of
town. His house is massive and his family owns a lot of the land
out there. I don't really know anyone else who lives near
their house, except for that Luke kid Payge was talking about.
But there aren't many other houses on the street, just two or
three smaller ones that I know of, so it's the perfect house
for a party. Plus, Tabor's parents are in New York for the
week, on some vacation they won through their work.
Tabor asked us to come over a little earlier than everyone else
so we could help him finish setting things up and then hang out a
little before the night started. There wasn't much to set up
except for coolers and chairs so we were done in no time. We sat
around talking about summer and how schools starting soon,
nothing major, until the sun started to set and people began
pulling into Tabors long driveway.
short, I know... But I'm writing
Chapter 3 right now.
hopefully it's a lot longer!

Chapter 1.
THREE MONTHS EARLIER.
i) We were going to a party
tonight. It would probably be the last big one this summer, so
obviously we had to go shopping, at least that’s what
Reilly told us as she dragged us off to the mall. Payge and I
didn’t plan on buying anything, but Reilly wanted us to try
things on with her anyways.
We were in our fourth store of the day, and Payge and I were done
trying things on. “Are you almost ready in there?”
Payge called to Reilly. “Almost, I just have one last
thing!” Payge and I exchanged a look. I shrugged my
shoulders and decided to change the topic.
Payge and I weren’t really friends at the beginning of the
summer, she was more of Reilly’s friend, but with countless
trips to the mall like this one we became close pretty quickly.
“Are a lot of people going tonight?” I asked Payge.
“I don’t know… I mean it’s Tabor
we’re talking about, he’d invite the entire school if
he could.” I laughed, she was right. Tabor had a surprising
amount of friends considering he only moved here in March.
He’s surprisingly social…probably knows the entire
school by now, and they all know him. There was no telling who he
would invite to his end-of-the-summer-party.
“Oh! I almost forgot, have you met that new kid who moved
in to town around the end of school?” Payge asked me.
“No…I remember people talking about him though.
Must’ve been a sucky summer. He didn’t know anyone,
right?” “Don’t think so. But Tabor was telling
me about him, I guess his family’s property backs up to the
lake in the woods behind Tabor’s house so they hung out a
couple times.” She explained. “What’s his
name?” I asked. “Um, I think it was Luke or
something. Tabor said he’s nice enough, not a freak or
anything.” We laughed. “Hmm, I haven’t met
anyone named Luke lately.”
I thought about it for a second. The only Luke I ever knew
wasn’t a Luke, but a Lukas. He was my neighbor when I was
little. We were inseparable and we did everything together; then
Reilly moved in across the street and she did everything with the
two of us as well. When we were around eight years old his family
moved away, and it become just Reilly and me. I had forgotten
about Lukas for a while. I use to think he was special because he
got to move and I had to stay in the same place.
“Me either. I wonder what he looks like.” She said,
thinking. “And I wonder what he did the days you and Tabor
were together.” I joked; Payge and Tabor have been an
unofficial thing since early July. “I’m just
curious.” She said mock-innocently.
“What do you think!?” Reilly asked eagerly. “So
cute.” “Love it.” Payge and I answered. Reilly
smiled. “Okay, I’m getting it.” She said.
“Well hurry up! We’re going to run out of time to get
ready!” Payge ushered. I laughed, we still had a good three
hours until the party.
going to try and do a chapter a week
if i get some type of feedback
