"So how are you and the "boyfriend" doing now-a-days?" Sonya asked casually while she and Avery would lounging one eveninv the following week.
"Oh I dumped him." Avery replied so nonchlantly that Sonya laughed.
"What was wrong with this one?" Sonya asked her.
Avery shrugged. "He was way to uptight. That's more your thing anyways." She waved her hand and then ducked to avoid the pillow being whipped st her head.
"Really? We're going there?" Avery nodded and Sonya huffed angrily.
"Oh dont be mad at me! Im only teasing after all. At least he loves you, like really and truly loves you. He is way to mature for normal high school relationships." Sonya rolled her eyes at her roommie.
"Yea well he still his a teenage boy."
Avery sighed dramatically. "Oh arent they all?" They both started laughing. "So we totally need to go shopping for this party!" The girl said and slapped the cushion of the couch.
"Okay well dont abuse the couch! It has feelings." Sonya said in mock seriousness.
"Hey guys! What is all that stuff for?" Iris asked, coming up to them in the store. She gestured to everything piled high they had for food and snacks, drinks, and whatever else Avery had deemed necessary for an epic party.
"No one will go hungry," Sonya had said earlier.
Avery shook her head. "Of course not plus I am ordering a punch of pizza. These drinks will go fantastic in my smoothies, promise you will try it?" Sonya had nodded and the girl then continued. "We need to put things away and clear out space for party and games, oh and remember my room is off limits to anyone and everyone..." Avery had still been chattering when Iris had came along.
"Oh no wait! Dont tell me!" Iris said, raising her hands. "This is for the party you're holding. Castiel told me about it."
Avery raised one eyebrow, giving Sonya a look. "He told you about it huh? Did he tell anyone else?" Sonya questioned.
Iris shrugged. "Probably. I think he mumbled something about him and Lysander performing."
Avery gave Sonya yet another look. "You never told me you had friends coming that can play."
Sonya returned her look. "Thats because I never knew." She suddenly felt the urge the next time she saw him to punch him for not telling her. How could she have not known that after being his friend for so long.
"Well hell! Forget my perfectly planned and sorted out playlist then!" Avery exclaimed, while throwing her arms in the air excitedly. "So you, yea you, you will be there this weekend right?"
Iris nodded. "Wouldnt miss it." She smiled.
"So why have you never told me you play in a band?" Sonya stood in front of Castiel at school the next day with her arms crossed.
He shrugged absently. "Never asked."
Sonya glared at him. "Really? You couldnt have told me that? Or that you and Lysander were planning on playing at my party!?"
"Wow, you found out a lot." He replied and then ducked from getting hit. "Calm down. You're lucky I even am at all, I dont ever play in front of people but I thought this would be a good start."
"You didnt even tell me!" Sonya shouted.
"Will you quit yelling? It isnt that bid of a deal." He shot back.
"Well it is to me." She retorted and turned away from him, hearing him mutter behind her something that sounded like 'Girls' and could imagine him just rolling his eyes.
Sonya strode angrily into the school and almost ran right into Nathaniel. He caught her with two hands on her shoulders. "Whoa, what's the matter with you?" He asked, taking in her expression and wincing.
She sighed in frustration. "Nothing." She lied because she didn't want Nathaniel involved in it; it would only end up causing more rift than what was necessary. He gave her a look saying he wasn't buying it. "Look, it's just something stupid. It'll blow over before first period is over." She even added in a smile at the end to reassure him.
"Okay but just let me know and I'll kick his ass for making you upset." Sonya stared at him and then shook her head. It figured he already had an idea on who was pushing her buttons.
"I would love to see that." She said and poked him in the chest before starting to walk off down the hall.
He started to follow. "What? You doubt my strength?" He asked, faking hurt.
"I don't doubt anything." She teased.
"Are you still sure this is a good idea?" Nathaniel asked while watching his girlfriend and her roommate hustling around, preparing for their party that evening.
"Of course it is! Why wouldn't it be!" Avery rolled her eyes and when she walked past him she thumped him on the arm. "You could help out ya know!" She yelled.
"Nah, we're all done now." Sonya said and walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter. Avery walked back over to her carrying a box of stuff they wanted out of the way during the party.
"Whens that one friend of yours coming over?" She asked still walking past to put the box away.
Sonya shrugged. "No idea." She called after her roommate. She turned her head over to Nathaniel. "What?" She asked innocently.
He stared at her for a long time before speaking. "Do you really think this is necessary. You know not all of Castiels ideas are all that bright and this could end badly."
"Not if you know what you're doing. Me and Avery have this all down, it's not a problem." She walked over to his side. "I promise." She smiled sweetly and it seemed to be enough to get him to lay off, for now anyways. She slid into his lap and he hugged her close. "So is anything else wrong? You seem really off."
He shook his head, burying his face against her neck. Sonya had to settle for that answer because he didnt offer any other explanation.
The party was going in full out rage and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Outside people were dancing wildly to the music that Castiel and Lysander were playing; mostly everyone seemed to enjoy it and the entire yard was packed with half the party. Inside in the kitchen were refreshments and music was playing on a playlist Avery had specially picked out for the party, if you could even hear it from the band outside. People mostly mingled and talked inside of the house though a few had games going in different areas, causing both girls to be glad they'd blocked off their rooms earlier.
Avery had somehow managed to pull her into her favorite game that was being played in the living room. A couple of girls gave the each of them a drink and they joined the group. "We're going to play the game like this. Each person takes a turn stating something they have done and if you have not done it before then you take a drink." It was quite interesting and they all had fun playing the game.
A half and hour into playing, Nathaniel found Sonya playing the game and asked about it. "Can I play?"
Sonya raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you sure that you want to do that." He shrugged figuring it couldnt really be that bad and they explained the game to him. He sat down on the couch and pulled Sonya in his lap. Sonya and Avery exchanged looks and both surpressed a giggle.
After another hour and a half the game dispersed as most people were pretty bored of the game. Avery stretched and looked over at her roomie. "I think someone had a little too much to drink."
Sonya looked at Nathaniel who had his head back on the couch staring at the ceiling. "I guess he didnt realize what could really come up in this game. At least there were some things he didnt have to drink to."
"Only because he knows you." Avery laughed and both of them shot her a glare. "I think I'm going to go find someone to spend some time with." She said with a wink. "Have fun you too." She said, skipping out of the room.
"I think I am done with this party." Sonya giggled and ruffled hs blond hair with her hand.
"You look a little bit tired. Why dont we go and get some sleep then, hm?" He smiled in response.
Sonya blinked open sleepy eyes to the sun shining brightly into her room. Glancing at the clock it was well into the afternoon; it had been a very long night. She sat up and stretched. Nathaniel was still sleeping peacefully so she quietly slipped out and into the kitchen.
Velvet got up from where she was sleeping on the floor and padded over to her owner before stretching and yawning as well. "Mornin' girl." She said and the she noticed a form lying on the couch. She walked over and picked up and pillow, smacking Castiel in the face and sending him bolting upright.
He glared at Sonya. "What the hell was that for?! I was sleeping!"
"On my couch?" Sonya shot him a look.
"I wasnt planning on driving home last night." He said matter-of-factly. Sonya rolled her eyes.
"As long as no one else crashed here. You're just lucky I love you enough to put up with it." He grumbled something in response. "Where is Avery at?"
"Last I seen her she was heading towards her room and Lysander was following her." Sonya smacked her forehead and groaned.
"I swear I need a new roommate sometimes."
"Nah, I dont think so. She's pretty cool." Sonya looked at him and raised an eyebrow. She shook her head and turned to walk into the kitchen when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the couch. "How do you put up with that guy?" He suddenly asked.
"Where did that come from? What do you even mean, why do I put up with him?" She turned to give him a critical look.
"Exactly what I mean! He is so opposite from you. You have so much energy and are pretty much an unstoppable force but with a freakin' goody two shoes like that is so odd."
Sonya rolled her eyes. "Opposites attract haven't you heard? I'll have you know he had plenty to drink last night."
"Playing a dumb game that he clearly lost at doesn't make him any cooler." He said so nonchalantly that despite herself she couldn't surpress a giggle.
She stood up and faced him. "Okay look I get it you two hate, and I mean hate each other. You've been my best friend for like ever and he has been my boyfriend for a few years now too so you both just need to get the hell over it!" This was far from the first time either of them had questioned her relationship with the other.
"Hey you said it yourself that I'm your best friend. Call it in your best interest." He shrugged.
"Call it you are such a pain in my ass." She retorted, walking away.
