Nathan grinned as he sprinted the rest of the way home. When he got there, he could feel his phone vibrating. He didn't want to pick it up because of his excitement, but when he realized that it was Madelyn, he changed his mind and quickly pulled it out of his pocket. Kay. Do you want me to pick u up? he sent back, sending the message. He put his phone on the coffee table and ran down a corridor and into his bedroom. The house was empty, and no one was around; except for his dog. "Here Parker," Nathan said, patting his legs. A German Shepherd padded towards Nathan, jumping up and licking his face. Nathan laughed, pushing his dog off gently. He'd have to take him to the neighbour's while he went out to the party. When the dog ran off into the garden, Nathan got dressed into something more suitable for the party. He knew that Lea had a pool, so he stuffed some board shorts into a bag, even though he knew he'd only be going swimming after nine o'clock.
When Nathan had gotten dressed, he tightened his bag and walked back down the corridor, chucking the bag on the couch. "Come on Parker," he called, and Parker came running through the house. Nathan clipped a leash to the dogs collar, before walking outside and knocking on the neighbour's door. "Hi Kate, here to drop my little Parker off," Nate said, stroking the dog's fur. "You're going to a party, aren't you? Well, have fun!" replied Kate, taking the leash. Nathan smiled, thanking her and walking down the driveway and back into his house.
