Chapter 9: The Party of Susan

Author's note: I skipped some days so it is Friday cause you can't have a party like that in the middle of the week

Leah's P.O.V

At school during the first break Steff runs up to us "you guys guess what" she says

"What!?" Amelia and I ask

"Since you guys can't guess, we are invited to Susan's birthday party" she whisper shots

"By who" I ask

"Susan Gregory of course, isn't she the only one in our year throwing a party" she says

I nod and jump up "yass! I'm coming and Amelia is as well as Cole and Xavier. Okay? Okay"

Amelia smile "I get the part about the party and all but who is Susan" Steff and I look at each other before bursting out in laughter

"She is one of the richest girls in the school. Look up Gregory Inc. and you'll understand what I mean" Steff says

Then the bell rings and we say bye before heading off to class

*after school*

I wait for Amelia, Xavier and Steff so we can go home, son after some time they appear and come to my car and hop in. we go to pick Cole from his school and I drive to Amelia's house so she can pick her clothes and make up stuff. Steff goes to pick up her own things while Cole is getting ready with Xavier.

I drive us to my house. When we get there nobody is at home so I open the door and we go inside and up the stairs to my room

Amelia changes into a long sleeved pink top, light blue ripped jeans with white polka dots, pink shoes. Then she wears bow shaped earrings that have little diamonds on them after she braids a little part of her hair and packs it up in a ponytail.

Steff changes into a blue sleeveless top, a blue and black checkered shirt which she rolls up the sleeves and leaves it unbuttoned, blue ripped jeans, a black face cap and blue high tops.

I change into a black loose crop top that says BROOKLYN 76 with blue high waist(ed) skinny ripped jeans, white adidas shoes and a beanie that says Wild. Then we leave the house and go to pick up Cole and Xav.

When we get there Cole had changed into a white shirt with black trousers and sneakers while Xav was wearing a light blue shirt and black jeans. They get in the car and I drive to Susan's house.

When we get there, I park the car and we get outa and go inside since I'm thirsty I take a cup and fill it up with some red punch which I gulp down- this tastes amazing- I take two ore before everything gets woozy and blurry for a minute. I get two cups and fill them up with the punch and give them to Amelia and Steff.

"Oh my gosh, this drink is awesome I got to have more, where did you get it" Steff says and I point to the table I found it but Amelia takes a sip and pours the ret away- on the floor

"Leah, where did you get this and how many cups have you taken" she asks looking concerned

"Over there and one" I say while counting my fingers "two three. Yes three" hiccup "cups only nothing more, nothing most" I say and giggle then I see McKenzie trailing her fingers on Xavi's arm and I stomp over to them

"Hey Xavier there and M-mckenzzzzie. I wonder why you were named McKenzie. Your name reminds me of this girl named McKenzie from dork diaries- whatever bye" I say and drag Xavier away from her

*30 minutes later*

I stumble into the kitchen and see some cookies I run and eat about thirty joking I only ate four I run to a place that has blinky lights and a really good song comes up and I start dancing and some guy comes up and dances with me and I laugh and move my body along but he gets too friendly and trails his fingers up my side and I push away from him.

I need to use the bathroom. I go to what I think are the stars and climb up stumbling and tripping a few time and I go to a room and see two people with their heads together and I laugh at them before leaving the room. I walk down the hall and open another door which luckily is the bathroom and I use it, flush, wash my hands and leave the place. Then I hear an announcement 'EVERYONE IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT JUST THREE MORE MINUTES MORE SO FIND SOMEONE TO STAY WITH!" then the voice is gone was that an angel

"Oh my... was that an angel THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP" I shout thanking the angel before rushing in the way someone in the state of mind I'm in can.

**3rd person P.O.V**

Leah stumbles down the stairs and rushes to the middle and spots Xavier and goes to meet him

"Hi... Xavier. I'm feeling hungry, do you know where the kitchen is" she staggered while walking and Xavier realized she was drunk

"Leah did you drink anything alcoholic" he asked

"Noo... all I had was punch and some cookies I found some where you should try some" she replies

Xavier runs his hand through his hair and sighs "the punch was spiked. Don't you remember rule number one at parties- never take an open drink"

Then strip that down by Liam Payne starts playing "oh my god, I love this song let's dance" Leah shouts and Xavier loosens up and dances with her meanwhile Stephanie and Holden were dancing together

"I love your moves Holden, can you teach me" Stephanie asks

"Sure" Holden replies to her and shows her

TWO MORE MINUTES" the announcer says then a more relaxing song starts playing and he brings Stephanie closer to him and wraps his arms around her waist and she wraps her arms around his neck and they dance.

At Amelia's side, she's dancing with Cole and their foreheads are together and their noses touching

"Amelia" Cole starts

"yeah" she says

"Can I take you out sometime" he asks her

"Sure" she replies and Cole nods slightly

"IT'S TIME FOR THE COUNTDOWN SO GRAB YOUR PARTNER. 10..." THE DJ says

"9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0... Happy birthday Susan!!" the crowd yells and people go back to whatever they were doing.

*Over to Leah and Xavier*

Someone accidentally hits Leah and she stumbles forward and her lips touch on Xavier's, she pulls away and is about to apologize but Xavier pulls her closer and leans forward to press his mouth against hers. Leah closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck then Xavier tilted his head deepening the kiss and after sometime, they pull away.

"I'm sorry Leah, oh gosh I wasn't meant to do that" Xavier said while running his hand through his hair making it messier and Leah tilted her head slightly wondering what he meant by 'sorry'

"What do you mean by sorry mean that was the best kiss I've ever had- not that I had been kissing anyone- but seriously" Leah asked and moved to hug Xavier but he stepped back

"No look Leah I-I can't do this" he says

"Calm down Xavi and try to say what you wanted to" Leah says and spins around, bursting into a fit of giggles

"But I'm not sure if, ugh fuck it not like you'll remember anything I say tomorrow. I like you Leah but you don't have to like me back I mean I understand if you don't but whatever never mind what I just told you" Xavier rambles

"I like you toooooooo! I think I'm in love hahahahahahaha actually but then I was never sure you liked me even when Stephanie said so" Leah replies

"Me too but you won't remember this tomorrow anyway so I'll-uh- go now" Xavier concluded and walked into the crowd filled with people leaving Leah in the middle with her jaw on the floor
