Chapter 8: Old Time Friends

I took one last glance in the mirror. This is by far the best I have looked for a 10 minutes shower and only taking five minutes to do every little other possible thing.

My hair was straightened and fully dried and my make-up was looking great as usual with my signature eyeliner and mascara. I was dressed in one of my favorite outfits from Wet Seal. A turquoise t-shirt with Sponge Bob and Patrick everywhere along with random things like a driving boat or some crabby patties. On top of the shirt was a frayed boyfriend vest, fully unbuttoned, looking casual. My skinny jeans were bleach splattered dark denim and surprisingly looked casual and fashionable, who knew? I finished my outfit off with my favorite black hi-tops from Converse. I smiled in the mirror before walking away to wait for Kacey.

I walked downstairs to see my red headed cousin already waiting for me. As always, Kacey smiled her astonishing smile showing her perfectly straight and whitened teeth. I couldn't help but smile back, she was an amazing cousin.

"Did you miss me?" Were the first words that came out of her mouth. I rolled my eyes and hugged her.

"Of coarse I missed you. Last I checked, you're my fucking cousin!" She hugged me back happily. I realized just then, how much I have missed my loyal cousin…

I realized I was still hugging Kacey, which was beyond our agreement of 'no touching', I pulled away from Kacey and looked into her hazel eyes. For the first time in years, I actually saw a glow of happiness and joy in her eyes. Kacey has always been the kind of I-don't-give-a-fuck person. It has been years since I have seen that glow of happiness and I am sure everyone else could see it too. I looked around the room and I could see Ally fanning the tears dry from her eyes. I giggled a little bit before turning back to Kacey.

"Wow Kacey. You look great!! How long has it been? 4? 5 years??" I smiled like a retard before I actually examined my cousin for the first time today. Her outfit was amazing, as usual. A simple white tank top was underneath her soft yellow tube top. Her shorts were pretty damn short with a messy fray at the ends. Her outfit was simply completed with white ballet flats, that looked viciously bright when contrasting with her perfectly tanned skin.

"Well maybe it would have been sooner if you would have called, you ass wipe." She paused for a minute to playfully smack my shoulder. That insult 'ass wipe' has been said from her mouth for years. I smiled a little and gestured for us to sit on the couch. "You look amazing, yourself. It will be fun--- watching the gawking faces of Forks take in our beauty." She stopped talking for a moment and did her signature hair flip. Same cousin Kacey…

Then what she said registered in my mind…

"Wait… Did you just imply that you are moving to Forks?" I choked with my mouth wide open now. The most foolish grin ever crossed her face as she anxiously nodded her head, squealing 'uh-huh'.

"Bella, this'll be so much fun," she squealed at me. "I've been feeling the urge to kick some dumb girl's ass lately." Kacey has always had a thing against girls. She and I weren't fans of the school sluts or the bleach blonde wanna-be chicks. Well actually we had a thing against most girls. Kacey is much like me when it comes to fitting in with the guys.

I laughed at Kacey's comment. She has always been the fighting type and she also has always worn her heart on her sleeve. She spoke the truth and didn't give a fuck who was around or how bad the truth was.

"Plus I think Shelby has had the same urge to beat the shit out of someone in Forks lately too." Kacey spoke nervously as she looked around the room.

"Shelby's coming too!?" I exclaimed gasping for air, which I found getting thicker and thicker every time Kacey spoke. A small grin reached her lips as my 'yes'. Today was officially a great day.

"Where is Shelby? I haven't seen her since forever ago…" Ally being Ally, she trailed off on her sentence once again. Ally leaped from where she was standing--- 7 feet away --- and yet still landed perfectly on the couch next to Kacey. I rolled my eyes; what a little ninja she is.

"Oh, she said that her and Reese had to go to some party for one of Reese's buddies. But they will be visiting Tuesday." Both Ally and I gave Kacey a curious look. "Oh!!" Kacey exclaimed as if something important just clicked in her mind, "Today is Sunday and they are going to a party… if Shelby and Reese are going to a party that means that all of the next day--- which will be tomorrow --- they will have the hangover from Hell. They were being considerate, thinking about all of you. They don't wanna be crabby with a hangover while the visit, so they are coming Tuesday." Kacey shrugged. It did make sense.

Shelby was a huge partier. I haven't met her boyfriend, Reese, yet--- but apparently he is big into partying too.

"Oh, fun." Was all I could say. I liked to party, but Shelby took the meaning 'party like there is no tomorrow' to the extremes. She would seriously get smashed every time we went to a party together, and I soon learned that on top of her already anger issues, she is an angry drunk. She will get pissed at anyone for anything. Hell, if you gave Shelby the wrong look while she was wasted, you were asking for it.

I smiled a bit and looked back at Kacey.

"So what are we doing today?" Kacey looked around the room and my eyes followed. Everyone but Emmy shrugged. Emmy had a devious smile on his lips, I knew he was up to no good.

"How about we do some partying ourselves? We could go to Wild Bill's or if you really wanna get crazy, we could drop by to Big Mike's. How about it, Izzi??" Big Mike's: the craziest club in town. I have never been about to get it since I am only 17, but everyone goes there and from the word around town, it is pretty insane.

"How am I gonna get in?? I'm not 18, remember??" Emmy pouted, looked at the floor now. I heard Kacey, next to me, make a noise in disgust. I looked over just in time to see her roll her eyes.

"Bella, please. You could totally pass for 23 if you wanted to push it. I don't think pretending to be 18 will be such a big deal." She shook her head at me as if I missed the point.

"I don't know guys…" I hesitated and scratched the back of my neck, looking at the floor. I could feel all eyes on me with an awkward silence.

"Well, hey! Here's an idea. If we aren't going to the clubs, then let's bring the clubs to us." Ally finally spoke, breaking the awkward silence that I hated so much. Everyone in this room was just as I remembered: Stubborn and Party People. I rolled my eyes at her. Why did we have to party the very first Saturday I spend in Illinois??

"Ok, whatever." Both Ally and Kacey squealed when I finally gave in. I guess one party wasn't going to hurt for the evening…

•••◊•••

The living room of the Kellan's home looked like a normal teenage party that would be seen in movies. Music was loud and vibrating the room; teenagers were everywhere mingling with each other while holding a red party cup in their hand; the middle of the room was transformed into a dance floor; and the dining room table was a buffet table. It was a decent party compared to what usually happens.

"Bella! C'mon, let's dance!!" Kacey yelled over the music as Ally pulled me into the living room's dance floor. I set my cup down on the dining table and let them pull me with everyone else, allowing the words and flow of the music take over my self control.

The song ended and everyone stopped dancing at they waited for the next song to start playing. Ally linked her arm with mine and we walked over to the couch where Emmy and Rose were sitting.

I fell onto the couch with a big plop next to Emmy and smiled. He beamed back at me, knowing I was happy we did this in the first place.

"I still can't believe you got Aimee and Cory to have a date night and get a hotel room. I didn't think you would be able to pull it off." Aimee and Cory knew we all liked to party, and thankfully they didn't care. But they thought they were too cool, meaning they thought the cool party with us. Thus we get them out of the house every time we have a party.

"You see? You doubt me way too much Iz. So I take it you're enjoying yourself??" He yelled back to me over the roar of the music. I smiled and nodded at him. Everyone knew Forks was the smallest town where nothing exciting ever happens. We felt the need to party ourselves out while we still could.

"I'm gonna go get everyone a refill!" Rose spoke out of nowhere, grabbing everyone's cup.

I was never the type of teenager to drink or to get wasted, but this was my first party in 2 years. It was nearly yelling 'celebration' at me. I felt a small smile come across my lips before my head fell back onto the couch. Being back home with all the ones I loved was nice.

Ally was obviously trying to get my attention. She took a sip of her nonalcoholic pineapple juice, make that annoying-as-hell slurping noise. I felt my smile fade away as I opened my eyes to glare at her. Her lips were just coming off of the cup, and her eyebrows were raised as she noticed that everyone near the couch had their attention on her. She looked around the room of staring eyes awkwardly. I felt my smile come back onto my face. Seeing Ally embarrassed in an awkward situation was one of the most amusing things.

"If you're gonna slurp like that, could you at least make me proud and maybe add some boos to your plain juice?" Emmy asked clearly annoyed. Ally smirked at Emmy and shook her head viciously, making her ringlets of hair bounce around her face. She smiled again, taking another slurp of her pineapple juice. Emmy rolled his eyes and looked in my direction.

"Mm! Plain!!" I heard Ally mumble. I giggled a little bit, when it came to Ally messing with Emmy, it was pretty amusing on my part.

Rose plopped back on the couch, in between Emmy and Ally. It was perfect timing, Emmy looked like he was about to strangle poor Ally. Rose knew what Emmy was probably planning and I saw her slightly glare at him before she handed him his cup, and handed me mine.

"Does anybody know where Eddie is?" I couldn't help but wonder, breaking the awkward silence that stood between all of us.

"I think he's up in his bedroom." Ally roared at the wrong timing. The song ended at the same time she answered me, leaving her the one person yelling. She blushed, looking around the room like nothing happened--- before taking another annoying slurp of her juice.

"Is, uh, he with… anyone?" I blushed when I finished, smiling an apologetic smile at them. This type of subject made me quite uncomfortable, and I didn't like talking about that kind of stuff. But I would rather talk about it over walking in on someone.

Emmy laugh roared over the music that started booming again, shaking his head no. He was laughing so hard, he couldn't even talk. I nervously joined in with the laughter before leaping off the couch, heading upstairs.

Whew! That took as long as hell to post up. I apologize for that, I just got my first Facebook and I am so excited to use it!!

NOTE: I do not promote under aged drinking. It is something that more and more teenagers are doing in the world, so I thought, what the hell, and added it to my story. Drinking alcohol is a serious thing that could lead to some serious issue, and they have the laws for reasons. This is just a fiction.

REVIEWS!! I love to hear what you have to say. It motivates me to write more stuff. If you feel you wanna see something new happen in the story, all you have to do is review or you can private message me. And as a sorta little bribe- I will get back to anyone who owns a penname on here, and if requested, you can receive a special preview of what happens next i the story. :D so review!!

Go on my profile and VOTE!! I need the extra votes before chapter 11. This is chapter 8 so VOTE YOU MANIACS!! ... glad i got that out of my system ...

Ok, so i think i got everything. Apologized for taking forever; explaining that this chapter nor story does NOT promote under aged drinking; asking politely and bribing you to review; screaming at you like a crazy person to vote. YEP! I got everything. So i will talk to everyone soon and I promise that chapter 8 Part 2 will be up within the next 8 days. PEACE OUT! and rock on bitch! \m/ (.) \m/
