Party

Grace POV

Present

Reaching our house, I went up to my room and turned the bath on. Dumping in some lavender and eucalyptus essential oils, along with my favorite vanilla bubble bath, I started to undress as the tub filled with the steamy water. All of the smells filling the air deliciously. Once full, I shut the water off and got in.

I wanted to wash the weirdness of today off along with the sensations Dean left on me, everywhere he touched.

Just then, my bathroom door flung open and in came Summer.

"What the hell, where did you go today? You took off this morning and I looked for you after school but Dean said you were in a rush to leave" she said placing her hand on her hip.

"Hello to you too, I thought I locked the bathroom door? I wanted to go home and I didn't want to be around Dean anymore," I stated.

"It was locked, I picked it. Why don't you give Dean a shot. You barely even know him and you're already shutting him out"

I rolled my eyes, " Clearly there's no privacy in this house, and exactly, I don't know him, so me distancing myself won't hurt anybody"

She scoffs and gestures at my body, " It's nothing I haven't seen before. Please give him a chance. He's a nice guy and I think you would make the cutest couple. Come to the party tonight! It's the perfect environment to let loose and get to know somebody, without the pressure of being one on one."

I sighed, " I'm sorry Summer, I'm not going to the party, it's just not my thing."

Summer then got down on her knees in front of the tub, her hands clasped together like she was praying,"Please Grace, please come tonight, give him this one chance and if it doesn't go anywhere I'll leave you alone about dating. Pretty please" she begged as she stuck her lip out and attempted her best puppy dog face.

"Alright, get up. I'll go, but please stop making that face, you look constipated", I laughed.

She punched my arm playfully as she got up, "Shut up, at least I don't look like you, get out of that tub, the party starts in 2 hours and you need a makeover" she said as she did a happy dance out the bathroom door. She's something else, I chuckled to myself.

I quickly washed my hair and then got out.

Looking in the mirror, I realized Summer was right, I do need a makeover.

I wrapped myself in a towel and walked into my room, trying to mentally prepare myself for Summers' "makeover".

On my bed were 3 outfits to choose from that she must have placed there for me.

As I grimaced at the skimpy clothes, Summer walked in with a giant makeup kit.

"Did you pick one? I personally think the red would look hot on you." She said cheerfully.

I picked up the red one, "Summer. This could barely pass as dental floss, let alone a dress. I'll wear sweats and a hoodie, something comfortable. I don't need everyone at the party seeing my coochie on full display."

Scrunching her face in distaste, "Alright fine, I'll get something else, but over my dead body will you go to your first college party in sweats and a hoodie." She said as she rushed out of my room into hers across the hall.

She came back with a hot pink dress, " Here, try this one on." she said, handing it to me.

Taking it, I took off my towel and slid it on, looking at myself in my floor-length mirror.

It was a cute dress with hot pink sequins and a plunging neckline. More revealing than what I normally wear, stopping half way down my thighs. But overall it was cute.

"Damn girl, you look hot as f*ck. Let's get your hair and makeup done. Dean won't be able to resist you" She cheered.

"I wasn't trying to get his attention, but alright, let's get on with it" I gestured to the makeup kit as I went to sit on my chair by my desk.

An hour and a half later, Summer was finally done with me. "Ta-da!! Quick go look!" She screeched.

Walking to my mirror, I was shocked to say the least. She really out did herself. My face actually looked alive for a change. My undereye bags were not even noticeable, with a full face of foundation, topped with blush and highlight. To complete the look, soft pink eyeshadow and lipstick along with false lashes looked almost...beautiful. She left my hair down and curled it into beach waves.

"Wow, Summer. This is great. Really, thank you" I said genuinely.

"You're welcome girl, but now I need to get ready and we have to go. Come grab my pink flats to wear to the party" She gestured at me to follow her.

Summer grabbed a green spaghetti-strap mini dress and some black pumps and got dressed in a flash. She quickly applied some mascara and threw her long blonde trusses into a high-pony.

"Alright, let's go" she smiles at me as she heads down the stairs.

"Must be nice to be so effortlessly gorgeous" I said, with sarcasm drenching my tone.

Slipping on the flats Summer let me borrow, I too head down the stairs and together out the front door.

The short walk to the party was quiet and uneventful.

Walking up the pathway to a house identical to ours, I reached for the doorknob to open it, but before I could, it was flung open and we came face to face with none other than Dean.
