new chapter 3
I got through my first week of (boring) classes and was ready to meet up with my new friends for the weekend. "Astrid!" My roommate said as I entered the room, "What do you have planned for the weekend? There's a back-to-school party at a local pub tomorrow night. Wanna go?" It would be a chance to make new friends but, I don't know. "I'll think about it." I heard myself say. "Okay, just let me know!" said Clover.
I heard my phone buzzing and bounced on my bed to pick it up, I didn't recongize the number but I answered it anyway, "Hello, you've reached the international candle company, how may I assist you?" I said in a strange accent. "Uh sorry, I must have the wrong number" said a confused but familiar voice. "Wait, I think I know you. Didn't I meet you the other day?" I said normally. Turns out it was PJ, who got my number from Chris and was calling to tell me the details for tonight. I was suppose to meet them at the craft store and then we would go from there.
I looked at the clock and realized it was almost 5:30, I was suppose to meet them in half an hour! I quickly jumped up and and walked to my wardrobe, I was still learning what everything was called. I picked out my black tutu dress with my grey sweater with black stars, and some dark grey sweater tights. Now was time for makeup and the fixing of my hair. I decided on just some eyeliner and a bit of powder foundation. For my hair I grabbed some hair putty and messed it through my hair, the messy look was always cute with this outfit. It was now 5:50 and I still had to get my shoes on and walk (run) to the craft store. I pulled on my black combat boots, tied them, grabbed my phone and purse, and was out the door.
It was now 6:05 and I was just getting to the craft store. I stood outside for a bit before walking in. Suddenly my phone started to ring so I picked it up, it was PJ. "Hey we're running a little late, but we'll be there in like 5-10 minutes." He said. After we hung up, I poped some earphones in and started listening to We Are The In Crowd. Five minutes had past and I had decided to go sit on a bench outside. It was kinda cold but I had a sweater on, so I'd be okay. As I was changing my music to LIGHTS I felt a tap on my shoulder. Startled, I jumped and let out a small scream.
"Whoa I didn't know I looked that frightening" Pj said with a laugh. I stood up and pulled my earphones out. "So what exactly are we doing?" I asked following him to were the rest of the guys were. "You see" He said with a smile. We walked around the corner to where the other guys were suppose to be but when we got there they were gone. Pj shook his head and got out his phone. I watched as he dialed a number and waited for them to anser. "Where did you guys go?" He asked. The was a minute of silence then he sighed, "Okay, we'll be there in a few minutes" He told them then hung up.
"So they wondered off somewhere that way and we're suppose to find them." He told me pointing down the road. We walked for a few minutes just looking around before I spoke up, "Yeah I have no idea where we're going, can't you just call them again and tell them to meet us somewhere?" I asked. I didn't wait for him to answer, I got out my phone and called Chris. It rang for a moment before he answered, "Okay, you have two options, either 1.) tell us where you guys are and everything will go great or 2.) don't tell us where you are and when we find you get the shit beat out of you. Your choice." I said with a smile. Just then we turned a corner and found them standing by a clothing store. "Took you guys long enough" Dan said laughing. I narrowed my eyes and punched them all in the arms.
