So here's chapter 8, I've been really picky about this chapter, that's probably why it's taking me this long to write it. It also doesn't help that I've been listening to 80s music on repeat ALL MONTH LONG… It's been kind of bugging my Fiancé, I think he's sick of it. And If you can't tell, the title of the chapter is from the 80… DUH!

"Time After Time" – Cyndi Lauper


It wasn't the thought of getting to seeing her friends at the party that excited her… it was the thought that this was her first party by herself, no Adults around. She'd never liked the thought of hanging out with her friends, knowing Dad is just around the corner. This time she was by herself and could do whatever she wanted.

She was dressed in her favorite outfit her dad ever let her borrow… her mother's old Halloween costume from 1993 when she was, her mother's costume was a ghost buster, so she thought it would work, since it is an 80s movie. She had the goggles and backpack on her, trying to look as authentic as she could.

She pulled up in possibly the last spot available in front of Sterling and Matt Prokop's apartment, and from what she could tell, it was only 7:30 and the party was already started. She approached the door and rang the door bell, it was answered by a tall brunette dressed in the outfit Sterling had bought two days before, "Ah, pleased to finally meet you…" he said in a happy tone, "Names Matt Prokop, and welcome to our humble abode." He opened his arms out and pulled her into a hug… she contemplated turning back around and going home… if it wasn't for Demi coming to her safety, dressed as a typical 80 chick, most likely based off Cyndi Lauper.

"Hey, leave her alone." Demi said coming into view, "she didn't come for you to harass her." Demi laughed as she pulled Hayley near her, "It's good to see you actually decided to come, and can I say what a Kick-ass costume by the way"

Hayley smiled, "Thanks, it was my mom's" she explained, "I was like a little over three and a half years old, I was supposed to be Slimer, but my costume made me look like Gumby-" She caught herself, "Sorry, I'm Rambling…"

"Oh, no, it's okay, I like to hear your stories" Demi defended.

"Really? Sometimes I feel like I'm just talking way too much."

Suddenly, a Jonas Brother appeared two feet in front of her, dressed in a gold suit and his big scene-style glasses, putting his arm around Demi. "Hey, I've been looking for you," he turned to her. "Hey, you must be the new co-star, I'm-"

"Joe Jonas, yes I know exactly who you are," Hayley smiled, sticking her hand out, "I'm Hayley, Pleased to meet you."

He shook her hand with a grin on his face. "So what were you two doing? Girl-talk?" he asked, trying to ease himself into their conversation.

"Joe, hun, you're right, it is girl talk, and from what I can tell, you're not a girl." Demi told him.

"Ouch, fine. See you two later." He kissed the top of her head and headed into the kitchen, starting up a conversation with another guy, the other one had a bit longer hair, it was black and it was combed to look like a member of the Flock of Seagulls. He glanced over at Hayley, she quickly adverted her attention back to Demi.

Demi quickly put two and two together, "Were you just… eye oogling David?"

"David who?" Hayley attempted to defend herself. "I have no idea who you're talking about."

"David Henrie, the guy with the funked up hair, chatting with Joe in the kitchen."

"No, no, no, I wasn't."

"De-ni-al," she pronounced the word, "you're in denial, I totally saw it."

"Demi, stop please."

"Fine." She dragged out the word and gave her a hug. "So, you thirsty? Want some food?"

Hayley nodded, "Sounds good to me."

She followed Demi into the kitchen, and quickly took a glance at David. She stood next to Demi as the munched out of the chip bag that Demi got off the counter.

Demi obviously noticed David approaching them, and decided to join Joe's side with the chip bag, leaving Hayley to fend for herself.

"Hi." David said leaning against the counter next to Hayley.

"Hey." She said back quietly, glancing into his hazel eyes.

"I'm David, You?" He smiled, reaching out to shake her hand.

"Hayley," She replied, returning the gesture, she shook his hand.

"Ah, so you're the new girl on Sonny With a Chance."

"Yep that's me, and You're from Wizards of Waverly Place… My friend Cori loves that show. You could say I was force to watch you"

"Forced?" he questioned, "You totally loved it and you know it."

"Meh, maybe."

"And so, from the looks of your costume, you seem pretty bad-ass." He broke the ice. "Just ignore my hair, this-" he pointed to his head, "Was last minute."

She smirked, "Not bad… I've seen better."

David's jaw dropped, "what?"

"I'm just harassing you." She smiled, "I think that you're hair is pretty epic for being last minute."

"That's what I thought." They laughed.

They started talking to each other until Sterling walked into the room, Dressed as Doc Brown from Back to the Future. "Hey, S!" David said, waving him over.

Sterling, glanced over, "D, what's up?" he approached them, then noticed the girl next to David, "Oh, hey Hales,"

Hayley waved and smiled. "Nice costume there, I was wondering why Matt was wearing your Ducky-ness."

"Oh, yeah, we kind of switched costumes Yesterday." He explained. "Any-hoo, how are you two doing?"

"Good," David said putting an arm around Hayley's shoulders.

Sterling smirked, his blue eyes glanced into Hayley's green ones. "Good, then I'll see you guys later"

"Bye Sterling," Hayley smiled.

"So," David started, "Do you want to hang out sometime?"

"What? Like friends or… a date?" Hayley questioned

"Well, would you like it to be a date?"

"I would actually like that."

"Well then Hayley, you want to go out and get something to eat?"

"Dressed like this?"

"Doesn't matter," he threw a beanie on over his head.

"I've got a change of clothes in my truck." She smiled

"Cool, meet you in a few?"

"Sure."


First off… I have no Idea if Sterling and David are friends (I think they most likely are), and I also don't know if they call each other by the first letter of their name either

And second… do I smell a budding romance between David and Hayley?

And is Sterling going to be green with envy?
