Lost and Found

Party Plan: Changed

Ding! Ding! Ding! Dingdingding!

"SHOOT! They're here!!" Alex screams.

We had finished the movie around half an hour ago.

THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET READY!

Well usually I would just put random clothes on tie my hair in a ponytail and leave, but nope.

Alex insisted she do my hair, so therefore, that is the reason both of us are not ready.

"Alex! Go do your hair! Mine in good!!" I tell her, but her hands are still braiding my hair.

"ALEXXXXX! THERE ARE PEOPLE AT THE DOOR, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO ANSWER IT AND LET THEM IN?" A voice from downstairs yells loud enough for us to hear.

"NO MOMMMM I WILL OPEN IT WHEN I AM READY!"

"OKAY ALEX BUT THEY PROBABLY WONT EVEN CARE YOURE NOT DOWNSTAIRS FOR ANOTHER HOUR!"

"True." Alex mutters next to me.

Then, "OPEN THE DOOR. WAIT NO! JAMIE IS COMING DOWN RIGHT NOW, SHE'LL LET THEM IN!"

I look at her confused as she wraps a black tiny band around my waterfall braid. She had only braided half of my head, the right half. I had asked her to do that, otherwise you would've seen a lot of my pale scalp underneath my hair. I just don't like scalp showing at all. That's why Alex had braided my hair fairly loose.

Seeing scalp show in someone's head annoys me.

"Go! Hurry!" Alex commands, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What about you?"

"I'll be down in a few!" She says while shoving me out of the door.

I get downstairs and open the door to a herd of animals, or humans.

They all say a simple thank you and walk past me inside.

Who I assume to be Alex's mom, not only because she's the only woman who could've been the source of the voice moments earlier, but also because of her pregnant belly, walks out of the kitchen with food and lays it on the table.

People immediately rush over and start gobbling it down like, again, a group of wild animals.

Alex's mom just laughs and says, "There's more where that all came from so you can slow down!" Many people laugh, and others just ignore and continue eating.

Ding!

I turn around and open the door.

Him.

"Oh hey." He says, that's it Raven? Are you serious?

"There's food over there. Bathrooms are down the hall that way. And all bedrooms are off limits, and if you do try going there, they're locked." I say looking past him, but my voice to him. There was no emotion in my words, at least I hope not.

After I finish that sentence I walked away and went upstairs,

Where is Alex??

It's not like I could even tell her anything, but still.

"Jamie! Why are you here! Go downstairs and enjoy the party! I'm almost done!" She speaks with frustration and a tint of happiness.

She meets my eyes through the mirror she was looking at while doing her hair.

"Is something wrong?" I don't reply.

"Raven's here isn't he!" Frustration takes over her and then like magic, she smiles the brightest smile and says one word which makes the light kindle inside of my defeated heart.

Revenge.

********************

"Alex! Where were you? We were looking for you!" A bunch of girls say once we come downstairs, from the room. We had talked about many plans, and finally selected the most- appropriate.

I knew a few of the girls talking with Alex. Caitlin, Jasmine, Sasha, and ooh, what was her name again?

"Well I'm so glad you could all make it!" Alex exclaims happily. "I thought you had a game Daphne! Well, I'm glad you're here!!" Daphne. That was the name.

While Alex talks to them, hugs them, I can't help but feel like an outsider. I mean, it's not their fault they're not talking to me, if I was in their position I probably wouldn't talk to me either.

Out of nowhere a hand pulls me away. I feel grateful since the hand removed me from awkwardness, but terrified when I see eye to eye with the person.

Raven.

How predictable.

Who else would it be?

He looks at me until I meet his eyes. When I finally meet his eyes he says, "What is up with you?"

"Me? What is wrong with me? Hah." I reply back short and clipped.

"I don't even know what you're talking about Jamie."

"Oh, Raven is it? How do you know my name?" I am so done with him.

I'm done with him before anything even started. Because when it starts, no it'll never start, but if it ever started, which it won't, then I wouldn't know how to stop it.

"Jamie what is wrong with you??" He grabs my shoulders and shakes me.

"I don't appreciate you touching me." I say then walk away.

He grabs my hand, yet again.

"What is wrong? Why won't you tell me?" He tries again.

"Oh! You're Raven right?!" I exclaim and watch his face turn to confusion. "You're the guy that has the reputation of sleeping with everyone! Oh I'm sorry, I must be in your way. Am I keeping you from something? Or someone, should I say?" I couldn't help those words.

His expression turns solemn, anger, and everything in between all at once.

I don't know what to do, I'm scared he's going to blow up.

And, then, his emotions disappear and out of nowhere a small smile appears.

And out of nowhere, he places a kiss on my lips. I don't know what to do.

Oh hot damn.

Hahaha, but trust me. There is plenty more stuff...
