Another Coincidence

Lesley looked up to the class clock and sighed.

"Seems like today is on a stand still" She muttered.

She just wanted the period to be done over with so she could go home.. She was totally blanked out. The teacher upon noticing she was not paying attention asked her a question. Of course, she didn't hear.

"Hey, hey, wake up" Julia whispered tapping her laps.

"Uh, what"? Lesley looked at her confused.

"Mrs Obi just asked you a question".

She looked at the front of the class and upon seeing Mrs Obi looking at her, she immediately stood up.

"What was the question I asked you Lesley"?.

"Ummmmmmm, I'm sorry Ma, I wasn't paying attention".

"I'm glad you know that, You know this is your junior year and it isn't a time for you to slack off".

"Yes ma, I'm sorry".

"You can have your seat".

"Thank you ma" she said while seating down.

Lesley was on the phone with Julia when trouble Ethan came knocking.

"Lesley, I need your help" Said Ethan barging in into her room.

"Can't you knock?".

He went back to the door that was already wide opened, knocked and then step right in again.

"I knocked now".

"You're seriously knocking after you've already barged in".

"Just forget it. I need your help".

"No".

"You didn't even hear what I wanted to ask".

"I don't even want to hear it".

"C'mon Lesley, please".

"No, go ask mom".

"Sometimes you can be a douche". He said walking out.

"Thank you, love you kiddo".

"Was the Ethan" Julia asked.

"Yes it was".

"What did he want"?

"Don't mind him, he just wouldn't let me rest".

"Well, at least you have someone that would disturb you, unlike me. Sometimes being the only child sucks".

"Siblings can be annoying too you know".

"Anyways do you have any plans for the weekend"?.

"If doing nothing while staying and sleeping at home can be considered a plan, then yes".

Julia giggled "Silly, that's not a plan. It's actually a terrible one. I have a better idea, wanna hear it"?.

"Sure".

"I was invited to a birthday party by a school mate, more like a senior I know".

"Uuuuuuuh, I guess someone is popular".

"No I'm not, he's just someone I've known for sometime".

"It's even a guy".

"Lesley, don't let me deviate from the main point".

"Yes ma'am, go on. What's the main point"?.

"The main point is I want us to attend the birthday party together. He clearly told me I could bring someone if I want to"

"Ok, I'll go with you since I have nothing to do at home".

"Awesome. Do you have a suit"?.

"No, Why"?.

"The theme of the party is office based so we're expected to dress like we work in an office".

"Sheesh, I don't have any suit".

"I could lend you mine. I have two pairs of suit so I could lend you one".

"Thank you".

"Meet me at my house by 3pm tomorrow, ok"?

"Sure".

"Mom, I'm going already".

"To where"?.

"Mommmm, I thought I told you yesterday. I have a birthday party to attend with Lesley today".

"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot. Remember you have a curfew. You should be home by what time"?.

"10pm".

"Good, enjoy your day".

Lesley reached the address Julia gave her of her house.

She rang the doorbell twice and it was opened by a blonde hair woman. Lesley looked at her and knew she was Julia's mom. She had the same color of hair as Julia, also the same features. She was also pretty.

"How may I help you"? She asked.

"Good afternoon Ma, I'm here to meet Julia".

"And you are"?

"I'm Lesley".

"Oh, you're the Lesley she has been telling me about. Come inside dear".

"Thank you ma" She said stepping inside.

"Where can I see her"?.

"Go to the hallway, the second door by your left, that's her room".

She took her direction and saw Julia's door. In front of it was boldly written "Knock before entering".

She knocked.

"Come in" Julia answered from inside.

She opened the door and met Julia laying on the bed.

"Lesley, you're here already".

"Yeah, you aren't dressed yet"?.

"Yes, I was waiting for you so we could dress up together".

"That's sweet".

"Here's your own suit. I already cleaned it up" She said handing the suit over to Lesley.

They both changed into the suit and both were looking dashing.

The suit was a black-trousered suit. They opted for a high ponytail. Looking at themselves at the mirror and being satisfied with the results they went out.

"Look at my two princess, looking all dashing".

"Thanks mom, We're going out now".

"You both have a nice day, ok"?.

"WE WILL" They replied in unison.

Getting to the destination of the event, Julia paid for their ride.

Loud music was oozing out of the house.

"This is going to be lit" Julia said...

They went in and scurried over to a corner. The party was quite crowded.

"What should we do now"? Lesley shouted.

"I can't hear you".

"I said what should we do"? She said this time directly into Julia's ear.

"Have you drank alcohol before"?.

"No. You"?.

"Me neither. Why don't we make today our first day"?.

"I'm not so sure".

"C'mon Lesley, let's try something fun for once. Look at everyone, they're all drinking. Are they dead? No".

"Ok fine".

She grabbed two bottles and handed one over to Lesley. They opened it and took a sip first.

"It's kinda bitter" Julia said.

"I know, but I kinda like it".

"Weren't you the one having second thoughts about drinking. Seems like you're the one enjoying it the most".

Lesley gulped down the whole drink and also helped Julia finish hers.

"Wow, seems like you're an heavy drinker".

The DJ changed the song to "Work by DJ Khaled ft Rihanna".

Julia pulled Lesley to the dance floor and said "This is my jam, dance with me".

"I'm not a good dancer".

"It doesn't matter. Just shake your body to the rhythm".

Julia was quite the dancer. She literally took over the dance floor while everyone was hyping her. Lesley was happy to see to her having a good time. After she was done she met Lesley who had already scurried out of the dance floor.

"That was fire Julia. You're such a good dancer".

"Am I"?.

"Totally".

"Awwwwn, thanks".

Julia saw the senior that invited her to the party and waved at him.

Upon seeing her, he smiled and went to meet her.

"If it isn't my favorite junior".

"Thank you for inviting me senior George".

"Anything for you Julia. So far, how's the party going for you"?.

"So far, I've been enjoying myself".

"I'm glad to hear that".

He glanced at Lesley and asked,

"Who's she"?.

"You told me I could bring someone over, so I brought her. Lesley, meet senior George, Senior George, meet my best friend Lesley".

Lesley extended her hand for a shake.

"Nice to meet you senior George. Your party is totally awesome and thank you for letting me be here".

He Shaked her hand.

"Nice meeting you too Lesley. I'm glad you're enjoying the party. I'll be going now. Enjoy yourselves and extend my greetings to your mom Julia".

"I will".

"He's actually kinda nice".

"Yeah, he's different from other seniors".

Everything was going well for a while, until Rodney arrived. Everyone was cheering him up considering how popular he is. Lesley saw him and ran away to hide. Julia followed suit. They hid in one of the rooms upstairs.

"Why is he everywhere I go"?.

"Maybe you're cursed".

"You know what, I think I am".

"That was a joke, don't take it too serious".

"So what do I do now"?

"Let's stay here for a while, before going home. We've partied enough". Besides this is a big party, so the chance of bumping into him is slim".

"Let's do that".

They sat on the bed and stayed in silence for a while before Lesley spoke.

"Are you on Instagram"?

"Of course. Who isn't on Instagram this days"?.

"How come we haven't followed each other? Tell me your username, I'll follow you ASAP. Mine is leah_ley05".

"Mine is cutie_ju". I use the same username for Twitter. You"?.

"Same".

They were scrolling through each other's page and laughing at their post when the door swung open.

They turned to the direction and saw Nathan, Rodney best friend.

Lesley leaned towards Julia's ear and whispered "Isn't this the boy that's always with Rodney, What's his name again"?.

"Nathan, he's Rodney bestfriend".

"What does he want"?

"How would I know"?.

"Sorry, I didn't know this room was occupied. I was looking for a silent place to make a call".

"We could exit the room for you".

"No no no,Stay, you guys were here first".

At that moment Rodney started calling out Nathan's name. Lesley and Julia realized that that was Rodney's voice. Noticing that the voice was drawing near, they looked at each other and said,

"Oh No".
