Secret Letters

My first party

"Jules. I can't believe it, your first highschool party!" Flynn cheers throwing clothes from my closet.

"It's not that big of a deal" I say laying on my bed looking at my ceiling.

"Not a big deal? You have a boyfriend. Your going to party with said boyfriend and you get to see him perform. That's like highschool highlight stuff"

"Yeah yeah" ugh I feel so bad. I can't tell Flynn it's fake, I can't believe I have to lie to her. She's my best friend, I've never lied to her before.

"Here" she says handing me an outfit "this is perfect for tonight" i go into my bathroom and change. Wow I look good. I'm wearing a black skater skirt, a matching black band t-shirt, and a black&white flannel. Flynn has the best fashion sense. I walk out of the bathroom and Flynn smirks.

"ITS PERFECT" She yells "okay you ready?"

"Do I have  to go?" I whine. I'm not a party type of girl.

"Cmon you don't wanna see Luuuukkkeee perform?"
She's right, I do. I've never been to a sunset curve show, but a party.

"Fine let's go before I change my mind" without another word she grabs me by the arm and drags me out of the house.

At the gig
I walk in and there is people everywhere. Oh my god there is so many people. Flynn sees someone she knows and runs off leaving me by myself. I stand there awkwardly until I decide to slip outside. I on the stairs outside the house and take in the fresh air.
Parties are definitely not my scene.

"I heard you were here somewhere" Luke says from behind me, making me jump a little.

"Hey" I say standing up and dusting off my clothes.

"You look awesome Julie" he smiles.

"Thanks"

"What are you doing out here? Not about to bail on me right?"

"No no, it's just parties really aren't my thing and I didn't know what to do"

"Stick with me" he says extending his hand. I grab it and he pulls me toward him. Suddenly my whole body is pressed against his.

"Okay" I whisper. He smiles again, making butterflies flutter inside me.

"Let's go Jules" he whispers back. He starts walking but I stand still. Once I go in there with him, everyone's eyes will be on me.

"Jules, cmon" He says tugging at my arm.

"Luke I don't know if this is a good idea. Maybe I should go home"

"Come on, please. I want you here" he says coming to me and grabbing both my hands.

"You do?"

"I really do, now come on" I nod and we walk in. Just as I expected, everyone looks at us.

"It's okay Jules" Luke whispers in my ear. I tighten my grip on his hand just a bit.

"Let's go get a drink" He says. I give him a look and shake my head no.

"I don't drink"

"Not like that, I mean like a coke. I don't drink either"

"That sounds good"

"But first, I need to do something about this" he says pointing at my shirt.

"What's wrong with my shirt?" I ask, crossing my arms protectively. I pull my flannel close to me, wrapping it around me.

"Hey hey, that's not what I meant" he says grabbing my arms and moving them "I meant you need a sunset curve shirt"

"Oh okay, I thought maybe you didn't like what I was wearing or something. I don't know I-"
