Blake

For the first day of each season I throw a party and I finally got the nerve to invite her to come to it. "Hey, you wanna come to my party tonight?" I can't believe I actually talked to her. My heart is racing so fast and I can feel my face getting hot. I hope she can't see me blushing.

"Sure why not I no plans," she said. Wait that was a deep guy voice, is she really a he? Oh my goodness do I have a crush on a dude? I guess the only time I've heard her or him or whatever Carson is speak is in French and singing. Carson's voice sounds so amazing and they still look super hot.

"Wow, wait are you a dude?" I really hope Carson doesn't think that was rude.

"Umm yeah I am, is that a problem?" Shit I knew he would take it rude. Oh shit I have a crush on a dude and that I know he is a dude he is still super hot.

"No, not at all. You should come over early and help set up or at least keep me company while I set up." Yes I really just tried to flirt with a guy without it coming off super flirty. I am so over thinking all of this.

"Okay I'll see you there."

I had one more class today, baseball practice, and then to go home and set up. I never thought I would ever hate baseball practice but oh my goodness did it dragged ass today. I thought it would never end. After practice I ran home and when I got home, I saw Carson on my porch having tea talking with my mom.

"It's nice to see you finally talked to Carson. I never thought you would grow a pair and do it." My mom started bursting out in laughter and I swear Carson's little giggle he did was so cute it melted me heart.

"Dude your mom just told you to grow a pair." Oh no, I bet he thinks I'm a little bitch now. "Don't worry dude that doesn't destroy your man hood. I bet if my mom was still around, she would have said something similar." Wait did he lose his mom?

"May I ask what you mean if your mom was still around? Did she leave or something?"

"She died when I was young. A drunk driver hit her. It may sound weird but him and I are actually pen pals and still talk. He no longer drinks which is good."

"I am so sorry to hear that. On a less depressing note, you ready to get started on setting up?"

"Actually, walk inside I hope you like it."

I was so confused when he said that but as he said to do, I walked inside and to my surprise everything was already set up and it was perfect. He had set up an actual bar and an amazing snack table. There was beer bong set up outside with a small fire going, epic party playlist made and playing, the couches and chairs in the living room had been moved so everyone could see and talk to everyone, outside had serval foldable chairs and tables to put drinks, our pool had floaties out in it and the diving board set up, and everything was just so perfect. When I looked back at the bar, I saw him behind it talking to some guy. I felt totally jealous of that random dude, but I just wanted to walk up to Carson and kiss him, but I didn't so instead I walked over to him and said, "Thank you so much for doing this, Carson. I don't know how I could ever repay you."

"You're welcome and no need to repay me it was no big deal my pen pal I was talking about helped me out. Blake meet Andrew he will be managing the bar tonight and also help me make sure no one drives after drinking or any fights happen. Thank you, Andrew, for doing this for me." He hugged Andrew and it wasn't no fast hug it was a long. I just stood there super jealous the whole time.

It was only 5:23 and the party starts at 9:30. Since everything was already set up, I didn't know what to do so I grabbed me a bottle of beer and sat down. Out of complete nowhere I said, "Can I cut your hair?" After saying it I felt bed because of what he said about his mom. Instead of answering me back he pulled at his phone and started doing something on it. Great, he was ignoring me and now I felt even worse about it. "I'm..."

"Sure, you any good at cutting hair." He interrupted me. I guess I didn't upset him which made me to feel so bad.

"I'll do it, Blake has never cut hair except in the first grade when he cut his own and that didn't turn out so good looking at all. Lucky for him though I went to school for this." my mom piped in.

I chugged the rest of my beer and said, "My mom is amazing at cutting hair."

"Let's do this then, I'm kind of excited to do this."

As we head outside to cut his hair, I grabbed another beer. I can't tell if I'm drinking because I'm nervous, I like a boy, or just to drink. I am though, pretty sure that it is one of the first two options but the third one is still a chance. "Don't get drunk before your own party starts now honey. Are you ready to do this Carson?" my mom said.

"As ready as I ever will be I guess." He sounded so nervous and to be honest I think I was about ready as he was. His hair was so long and curly. It went all the way down to the top of his butt. I bet this was hard for him because of his mom. As my mom started to cut his hair I reached out and grabbed his hand.
