i’ve yet to figure out if this actually counts as “halloween party” but it takes place at the halloween party
Chloe groaned and leaned back in her chair. “Brooke, who are we waiting for here?”
“Well, I’m gonna wait and see if Jeremy gets here.”
“I’m only gonna stay with you for a while longer, you know,” Chloe said.
“Alright. I’m gonna go as soon as Jeremy gets here.”
Fifteen minutes passed, and while Jenna had joined the two girls, Jeremy still hadn’t shown up and Chloe hadn’t left, for some reason.
Jenna glanced up from her phone. “What are you two doing?”
“I’m waiting for Jeremy.” Brooke rocked back in forth on her chair.
Jenna rolled her eyes. “He’s not coming. I heard from Dustin who heard from Jake who heard from like, Rich or someone that he skipped out because his old best friend said something and then Dustin said something about a quick? He kinda lost me after “best friend”.”
“Oh…” Brooke looked down.
Chloe grabbed Brooke’s wrist and pulled her up. “We’re going upstairs. We’re gonna have some girl’s time.” She glanced at Jenna who was still texting on her cellphone. “Jenna, you’re coming too.”
She looked up. “Okay.” Jenna moved closer to Chloe.
Brooke looked around. “Do you know if Christine is here?”
“Jake’s new girlfriend?” Chloe scoffed. “Probably.”
“Yeah, she is.” Jenna glanced around. “I doubt she’s with Jake, though.”
“Did you want to invite her to come with us?” Jenna asked. “Cause I can find her pretty easily if you want…”
“No. We are not inviting that bitch up with us,” Chloe said.
“Chloe!” Brooke slapped her arm. “Christine’s a sweet girl. It’s Jake’s damn fault you hate her.”
“Fine. Fine! Jenna, if you can find her, invite her upstairs with us. Brooke and I will be in Jake’s parents’ room.” Chloe led Brooke upstairs. Literally everything Chloe had planned for tonight was screwed up ‘cause that damn Heere kid had decided to go fuck Antisocial Headphones Kid or something. So she might as well get some time with her best friend out of it.
“Jake’s parents’ room.” Chloe opened the door. “Don’t worry. They’re not using it.”
Brooke laughed. “That makes it sound like you’re gonna have sex with me.”
“And how do you know I’m not?” Chloe winked.
Brooke flushed. “W-well, I guess - “
“It’s okay, Brooke. I’m kidding.”
Jenna knocked on the door. “Hello? Can we come in?”
“Yeah!” Brooke called as Chloe mumbled a “whatever.”
Jenna opened the door and dragged Christine in after her.
“Hey!” Brooke waved, and Chloe folded her arms across her chest and scoffed.
“Hey…” Christine looked confused. “I was supposed to hang around Jake at the party…”
Chloe waved her hand through the air. “Trust me, he doesn’t care what you do. If you had tried to do that, I’d’ve been surprised if you two had made it through the whole party.”
“Alright. Do you guys like… not like me?”
“I don’t mind you.” Brooke said.
Jenna nodded. “I actually do like you.”
Christine smiled. “Thanks guys.” She thought for a minute. “Why did you guys join the play?”
All three girls laughed. “Oh god…” Brooke said.
“I’m not even sure,” Jenna added.
“I think Rich and Jake wanted to join for some strange reason? And we got dragged along by association.” Chloe shrugged.
“Not that we don’t enjoy it!” Brooke said quickly.
Christine rolled her eyes. “No, I can tell you don’t care, there’s no need to lie to me about that.”
“Well, it’s just…” Chloe trailed off. “No, we don’t care. Sorry.”
Christine sighed. “It’s alright, it’s just… I wish we had more than one person who cared about it in the drama club.”
“Seriously, everyone’s there because they want something. Even our freaking tech is there to keep Jeremy from doing something stupid.”
“And how well did that work?” Chloe muttered and Brooke stifled a laugh.
Jenna groaned. “We should do something. As much as I like gossiping, and I didn’t really know the stuff about Michael, thank you, Christine,” Christine smiled at the comment, “I’m bored.”
Christine fidgeted with her dress. “I’ve never been to a high school party before, so I don’t really know…”
“I mean, like, Truth or Dare or something.”
“Ooh, it’s been so long since I’ve played Truth or Dare!” Brooke said eagerly.
Chloe rolled her eyes. “What are we, twelve?”
Brooke shoved her. “Chloe! It’ll be fun. It’s a party, for fuck’s sake.”
“A party which we’re skipping out on in Jake’s parents’ bedroom.”
“It’s decided. We’re playing Truth or Dare.” Jenna sat down on the bed, and crossed her legs. “Brooke, truth or dare?”
“Alright. Are you in love with Jeremy?”
“Um, no? We’re through.” Brooke grinned. “Feels nice.”
Chloe sighed. “Doesn’t it?”
Jenna laughed. “Your turn.”
“Oh, um, Christine, truth or dare?”
Brooke thought for a minute. “Do you like Jake?”
“Not really? I’m pretty bad at saying no, I guess… Can I tell you guys something?”
“Of course!” Jenna said. Brooke and Chloe nodded in agreement.
“I don’t even think I like guys, but like… I know with Jake and Jeremy after me, it’s not exactly something I can say.”
Jenna snorted. “Same. Also, did you know that that Michael kid likes Jeremy? And I think if Jeremy finds out, he’ll be off your back.”
“And Jake’ll give up on you in like, five days.” Chloe shrugged. “Is anyone this room right now completely straight?”
Brooke laughed. “Well then.”
Chloe’s face lit up. “Let’s play Spin the Bottle.”
“Yes yes yes yes yes. I’ll go grab a bottle from downstairs.” Chloe smiled mischievously. “Be right back.”
Brooke put her face in her hands. “I hate her.”
“Brooke, it can’t be that bad.” Christine shrugged. “It’s not like you have a crush on her or…” Noticing that she was blushing hard, Christine’s eyes widened and Jenna laughed.
“Wow, Brooke, I’m… “ Jenna laughed. “This could work out for you, you know.”
Chloe opened up the door, clutching an empty beer bottle. “Got it.”
“Are we really doing this?”
“Yes.” Chloe motioned for Jenna to sit down on the floor.
“Chloe, I’m not sure this is a good idea.”
“It’ll be fine! What’s the worst that could happen?” Chloe smirked.
Christine smiled. “Cmon, Brooke, it’ll be fine.”
Chloe set the bottle down. “Jenna?”
Chloe rolled her eyes. “Yes, you are.”
“Okay…” Jenna spun the bottle. “Christine.”
“Aw, really?” Christine laughed.
“I’m not that unattractive, Chris.”
“Fine.” Christine relented, leaned over, and kissing Jenna on the cheek.
“Close enough!” Chloe said.
Jenna grinned. “Your turn, Brooke.”
Brooke’s eyes widened. “O-okay.” She spun the bottle, and it landed on -
Jenna pulled her phone out of her pocket.
“Well? Come on!” Chloe giggled.
Brooke moved closer, and kissed Chloe. Chloe kissed her back, harder.
Jenna hit record. Christine laughed. “Get it, girls!” Jenna called.
Christine leaned towards Jenna. “Are we gonna stop them if they start making out?”
“They’re still kissing, Jenna.”
“Yeah, let’s… “ She thought for a minute. “Let’s leave them alone.”
“Okay.” Chris and Jenna stood up, and slowly walked out of the room.
She looked up. “Oh, I won’t. I have some respect. There’s a reason I know about Michael’s crush but no one else does.”
She smiled shyly. “Wanna try that kiss again?”
Christine giggled. “I do.”
