High School Sweetheart

[Coolpaw5]

Butler: Oh, miss. **smiles** Are you here for the party?
Me: No, I'm just breaking in.
Butler: **smiles falters**
Me: That was a joke.
Butler: Right, um, shall I escort you to the living room?
Me: Yeah, that'll work. It's close by, right?
Butler: Actually, we're practically on the other side of the house.
Me: Dang it. Well, lead the way.

There was an awkward silence as we walked back.

Me: Um, you seem sort of young to work here. What are you, like, 16?
Butler: 17. My father and I live here. In order to live here, we had to work, so there we go.
Me: That's cool.
Butler: Sort of. I don't know if you notice, but the ladies? Yes, them, they're a little overwhelming.
Me: Like Charlie?
Butler: **looks down and smiles** No, not her.
Me: Oh reallllllly?

Hey, I'm practically a shipping machine.

Butler: **snort** I'm just saying that because she actually notices that I exist.
Me: Uh-huhhhh
Butler: Besides, even if I did like her, we wouldn't be together. She has a boyfriend and if I'm found dating her, my father and I will surely be kicked.
Me: Oh come on! Think of all of the romances with the really poor guy and the really rich girl!
Butler: Like what?
Me: Um... Cinderella, but with the genders reversed!
Butler: Are you calling me a male Cinderella?
Me: Exactly.

Butler: One, Cinderella didn't work for the king and risked becoming homeless, and two, the king was rather desperate for the Prince to get a wife and to have grandchildren. I don't think our situations are remotely similar.
Me: What is your name, anyway?
Park: I'm Park.
Me: I'm Alyssa. Okay, Park, you over think things wayyyyy too much. You're still a teenager! Live a little!
Park: I'd rather not go broke at seventeen.

Me: Your loss.
Park: **rolls eyes** Since you seem to be such the expert, how is your love life?
Me: Absolutely amazing, obviously!
Park: Really?
Me: No, it sucks.
Park: **laughs** How so?

I feel like I'm spilling my life to complete strangers nowadays. Like Connor, Park. It's somehow easier than telling it to people close to me.

Me: Alas, are you prepared to hear my tale of woe?
Park: Go ahead.
Me: Wellll, my friend hates this girl who likes the same guy she does. But the guy she likes, likes me, but she doesn't know that. I like this other guy who doesn't know that I like him. I have no idea who he likes or if he even likes someone. My sister's boyfriend kissed me on the cheek and the first girl that my friend hates's brother likes my sister.
Park: ... What? I couldn't follow anything you said.
Me: It's a little complicated.
Park: No kidding. Anyway, we're here now.

I noticed the wide living room. Time, Razor, and Lucy were there, sitting on the couches. I joined them.

Razor: Hey Alyssa!
Time: Sup!
Lucy: Hi!
Me: Hey guys!

Razor scooted over to let me sit next to him.

Razor: Where were you?
Me: I tried to find Megan and got lost. But someone managed to help me back here.
Time: So, do we just wait here until everybody comes?
Lucy: I guess. Oh! We should play a game!
Razor: Like what?
Lucy: Uh... Why don't we all sing a song an-
Me & Time: No!

Razor sheepishly laughed while Lucy tilted her head.

Time: Why don't we... Ask that guy if there's anything to do.
Razor: Okay. **gets up and walks over** Um, is there anything to do while we wait?
WDG: Not particularly. It was expected that the hosts wouldn't take that long to prepare.
Lucy: Great.

Razor sat back down.

Time: So... I've heard a lot about you, Lucy.
Lucy: Really? Alyssa talked about me?
Me: **scoff** No.
Lucy: :'(
Time: I meant, Logan told me a lot about you.
Lucy: Oh, right! You guys are good friends, right!
Time: Yeah.
Lucy: How did you guys meet?
Time: We were friends since elementary school.

Me: This is boring.
Razor: No kidding.
Me: Let's bet on something.
Razor: You are quite the gambler, aren't you?
Me: Let's bet on how long the next awkward silence will be.
Razor: Five dollars says it will be at least five seconds long.
Me: Okay, I bet it will be under five seconds.


Lucy: Oh, that's cool. You guys kept in touch all these years?
Time: Yeah...

Awkward pause for 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seco--

Time: How did you guys meet?

Me: I WON! MWAHAHAHA
Razor: That wasn't fair! We have to establish how long a pause must be to be counted as an awkward pause.
Me: Well, we didn't establish anything so I won! Pay up!
Razor: I swear, you have every single bet rigged or something. **hands me five bucks**

Courtney, Logan, and Connor later came and we just all awkwardly sat in the living room.

After about thirty minutes, Megan finally came out, dressed in the pink dress.

Megan: Hey guys! Sorry I took so long.
Courtney: Oh yeah, no problem. It just took you 15 FREAKIN YEARS TO GET READY, THAT'S ALL
Megan: HEY, I JUST FORGOT THAT THE THING WAS TODAY
Courtney: IT'S YOUR OWN SISTER'S BIRTHDAY
Connor: Yeah, you tell 'em sis!
Megan: TECHNICALLY, IT'S TOMORROW
Courtney: WELL--

Razor: Okay, um, is everyone ready to go? **looks around** Where's your sister?
Megan: Oh. I guess she's already on the limo.
Razor: Well, let's go then!
Lucy: Yay! **grabs Logan's and Courtney's hands** LET'S GO!

She dragged them out of the house. Connor and Logan followed closely after. The rest of us started grabbing our stuff but the Well Dressed Gentleman told us that they had staff to get our things.

So we all went on the limo. Charlie and a bunch of her friends were already there.

Megan: Everyone, this is the birthday girl!

I looked at Charlie again. She just seemed so familiar.

Charlie: Hi! My name is Charlotte or as some of my newer friends know me as, Ella.

Ella. That's when it hit me. She was the girl at the pool. The one that Egg owed money to.
