Enjoy!

I walked up the stairs into my pastel purple room. I looked around. Covered on my walls were polaroid pictures of my family, friends, myself, and most of all, Quil. I looked through all of them, examining the dates, events, and moments that had made up my life. Its the oldest story in the book. One day you're 5, innocent and planning for someday, and then someday is today, and then someday was yesterday. and this is your life.

I sighed and started to get ready for the party. My best friend, Ellie, who is really good friends with Embry, was picking me up. Embry is like Quil to Ellie, he always looks after her. I'm pretty surprised he even allowed her to go with me. But these big tough guys do have a soft side for us.

I heard the front door open. Nobody really knocked around here, everybody was welcome. Ellie walked up the stairs calling after me. I yelled back telling her i was in my room.

She opened the door, and i had to take a double take. She looked so different! She really did grow up this past summer. Damn, it feels like just yesterday she was wearing yoga pants and t-shirts.

"Claire! What are you wearing tonight?" She asked, "I'm so excited"

"I dont know yet, you look hot though! Dressing up for Embry?" I asked playfully. Ellie really did look good though. She was wearing sandals with a small wedge heel, dark blue jean shorts from abercrombie. And a cropped top with a white laced back, and a sheer cut out running from her neck line to her waist in a long V shape that cut off just below her belly button. It showed all of her long legs, and just enough cleavage to be a bit of a tease, without having Embry or one of the other guys yell at her. Her hair was curled into perfect rings at the bottom, and she had rose gold, and pink eyeshadow, fake eyelashes, and black winged eye liner. She was the definition of perfection.

"Noo! Okay... well... maybe..." She said, finally answering my question, "But they're going to be a lot of hot guys there tonight, so im not going to dwell over someone i have no chance with anyway."

"SO, what should i wear?"

"Hmm... I'd go with light wash high waisted jean shorts, a low back tight cropped white, short sleeve top, with a mid drift, side cut out, and a cleavage cut out. Also light pink sandals. Bring a flannel if you get cold,"

"Perfect." I replied

I put the shorts and cropped top on. I slipped on the sandals, and put light pink eyeshadow on, with a silver inner corner. I finished it off with loads of mascara and jet black eyeliner. I pulled my hair to the side, pinning it so it all fell on my right shoulder.

"Damn Claire," Ellie said as i walked out of the closet after changing. "You look sexy."

I blushed, and even if it was my best friend saying it, it was still pretty surreal.

"Thanks Ellie. It's 7:20, we should head out now. I don;t want to get stopped by the guys though, that would be so embarrassing if they lectured us on our outfits."

"Ugh, you're right. What should we do?"

"I have an idea," I answered, "Aunt Emily? Can you come here a sec?" I yelled down the stairs.

"Coming girls," She replied as she made her way to my room, "Wow, you guys look amazing."

"Thanks Aunt Em," So we need to ask you a favor, I said glancing at Ellie, "Are they guys downstairs?"

"Ahh, i get it. You don't want to be lectured do you?"

We shook our heads no, and Ellie said, "We're already 15, im turning 16 in only 6 months, we just dont want to be told what to wear or do anymore. You know we're always careful, but we also want to have fun."

"Girls, i understand. I dressed and acted the same way as you two did when i was your age. I'll have sam get them to leave now so you guys can head out without any drama." Aunt Em stated,

"Thanks Aunt Emily, You're a lifesaver."

Once we finally got out of the house, it was 8:40, which wasn't bad, because everybody was at least a few minutes late. The beach was about a ten minute walk from my house. Aunt Emily said she would pick us up if we didn't want to walk back.

I could see the fire, and smell the alcohol from about a mile away. Though both Ellie and i have had a drink before, we werent really big on it. To me it tasted nasty, and we were lectured the last time we did... Even though that was only last June, I still was probably going to have something. But not go overboard. Or at least that's what we thought.

By the time we got there at 9:00, the party was in full swing. The bon fire was at its peak. There was dancing, music and people were enjoying what was left of the summer. Ellie was already pretty drunk. I'm surprised about how much alcohol that girl can hold. I was watching her sit by the fire with this guy named Tyler. He was a pretty nice guy. He seemed right for her, so while i watched them, i didn't interfere.

It was about 10:00. One of the hosts of the party, and also an incoming sophomore walked up to me and introduced himself.

"Hey, I'm Austin."

"Claire," I smiled and blushed a bit, twirling the ends of my hair. Damn he was hot.

"Can i get you something to drink Claire?"

"Um... sure, nothing alcoholic though please."

"Gotchya." He walked to the drink table and came back with a red cup.

"So what'd ya choose for me?"

"Just try it, it tastes like berries."

I took a sip. It was actually really good, "Wow, this is good..."

"Told ya. You're cute you know,"

I blushed and said, "You're not too bad yourself."

At that, he leaned down and kissed me. I have no idea why, but i kissed him back. I'd never actually do such a thing unless i was under the influence.

He pulled away, and said, "I'll be back in a few, im gonna see if there's a room we can take this to."

He handed me his beer and started to walk away. I stood looking at the ocean, and contemplating if i should take a sip of his drink. Screw it. I thought as i brought the bottle to my mouth. I took a long gulp, and i came to the conclusion that i hated beer.

Ellie can stumbling over to me and said, "Hey girlieeeeee. You having fun?"

"Clearly not as much as you are," I replied laughing a little bit.

"Well maybe you should try to have some more fun." She was practically yelling in my ear at this point.

"Yeah maybe El, maybe." I replied taking another sip of my berry drink, even though i still had no idea what it was.

"Actually Claire-bear, i think you're having a lot of fun. This is berry flavored tequila hun,"

"Oh shit-" I said, thinking about pouring the drink out into the ocean, but then rethinking when i realized i've never felt so good. SO free, in my entire life. "What ever, we're young."

Ellie's face then durned pale. "And in a shit load of trouble Claire..."

I laughed at her comment as it was probably the alcohol speaking, but then quickly reevaluated when i saw Quil and Embry

"We're screwed."

"Yup" She said in agreement as two furious guys walked up to us.
