The Unexpected

Leahs pov

I'm parked on the street in front of Jens house since she has her two cars in the driveway. I don't know how one girl could have two cars but she did say she's close with her family. Maybe she has some family over.

She walked out of her house and closed the door and kind of walked fast towards my car in her heels. She sat down in my car and closed her door.

"Hi" she sighed as if she's out of breath. "Were you in a hurry?" I ask. "Yes! I still couldn't decide how to do my hair but then I decided to curl it"

"You look pretty" I said looking at her. She looks at me and smiles back. "So do you!" She gasps and plays with my curls. I blushed. Then she drags her hand lightly down my arm before letting go.

Later we arrived to my friends house. It's a huge mansion actually. He hosts a lot of parties here. His house is two stories with half spiral stairs, big wall windows, chandeliers and more. Then outside he has a built in fireplace, built in bar, he hires a dj all the time too.

"Wow.." Jen says as we took our first few steps into the house and looks around. "I know..wait till you see the backyard" I tell her. "Leah! You made it!" My friend who owns the house said. He's years older than me so he worked his way through to get this huge house.

"Yes! Hiii!" I said. "And whose this pretty young lady?" He asks in a sassy tone. He's gay too.

"This is Jennifer"

"Hi" Jennifer says and smiles.

"This is Jennifer?? Wow!"

I smile more and look around to see if I see anyone else I know.

"Well the party is going on outside so have fun! I gotta go look for my prince. Who knows where he went" he says and leaves.

"Wow" Jennifer mouthed inaudibly.

We walked to the backyard which was very crowded. I started getting greeted by all my friends and I also introduced Jennifer to them all. She's already giving them a good first impression. So nice and friendly.

"Wanna eat now?" I ask Jen. I'm giving her a lot of my attention tonight since she literally knows nobody here. I don't want her to feel weird and awkward here. "Sure. I'm starving!" She says and looks around even more. "Mmkay lets go eat" I said.
So we went to the buffet of food. After we got food we went to go find a place to sit.

"I guess that corner is fine" shes says and point to a cushioned benched by an empty table. "Alone?" I ask her. "Well- I don't know anyone here" I said. "I introduced you to lots of people who seem to like you! Let's bond with them first. Then if you don't like it then we can sit somewhere else." I said. She seemed bummed out about it but shrugged. "Okaaay" She says and I take her with me to some friends that I found at a different table.

As we ate and talked with everyone, well I did most of the talking, Jen kept playing around with my foot underneath the table. I started messing around with her by playing footsies too and she started to laugh out of no where. All eyes went on her and she got embarrassed because she literally was just laughing at her food.

Then she noticed and froze then pressed her lips. "Sorry" She giggles then looks at me and kicks my foot. "She's weird. Don't mind her" I tell my friends and this time Jen playfully slaps my arm and laughs at me. "I'm kidding!" I said. Marking that she's abusive in a friendly way.

"She always makes me look like I'm the weird person" Jen says.

"Leah likes to be the tough one it's fine. We're used to it" one of my friends says and I nod my head agreeing with them. "I could tell" Jen says and gives me the side eye. I smile and softly pinch her cheek which made her smile again. "Ew stop" she giggles and pushes my hand away.
