The party

Alan's POV:-

As we walked I stared at her, rouge eyes which shone like a little rubies and dirty gray-blonde hair with pink highlights, her imperial red lips, damn. I spoke just to stop myself from thinking anything about her, "So...are you gonna go to the party?" She kept walking her head bent down to read her book, as she answered, "Yeah, my mom won't be bothered. But, I don't have much to wear, so I'll just borrow some stuff from Melissa." Melissa was Pearl's best friend and my best friend, Hunter's girlfriend. I frowned, a little unhappy, "You look great in whatever you wear." I said softly so that she couldn't hear me.

"Check this out." I turned to find Melissa wearing a cute white top with a short white skirt that went up till her mid thigh. She was also wearing a pink sweater with a deep pink ribbon choker. I smiled and said, "You look cute." She smiled, "Thanks." Then she walked over to the bed to see my choices, she frowned. "None of them are cute enough." she went to rummage her closet for something and pulled out a blackish-gray, off-shoulder long sleeved top, with a pair of black shorts and a pair of black Chelsea boots. "Try this one."

After a few minutes I came out of her bathroom, "How do I look?" she smiled, "You look really pretty. See." She pushed me in front of the mirror, and I stared at myself in awe, I could barely recognize me. Surprisingly, I looked like a model. I smiled, "Do you think he'll like it?" Melissa giggled, "Of course, Al will love it! Now come on, or we'll be late for the party." She grabbed our gifts and purses as we strolled out of the house.

I stood against the wall as I stared at my phone.

She's late, I thought as Hunter walked over to me. He slapped my shoulder as he said, "You're waiting for them too huh?" He stood next to me, I nodded, "Yeah. They're late." He gave me a can of beer, "Brought something for you. Come and cool down at the pool, they'll be here soon." Just as I was about to leave, I saw Melissa and Pearl running towards us. They stopped right in front of us, and tried catching their breath. At the same time, they handed their presents to Hunter as Melissa said, "Happy Birthday. Sorry we're late, we had to run all the way here." Hunter and I stared at them and we said in unison, "We can see that."

After they stood up, I stared entranced by how beautiful Pearl looked, "You look beautiful." I said without thinking, Pearl blushed and said, "Thanks." Hunter told us follow him to the rooftop. When we reached we found kids making food and playing games, some were even dancing. "Welcome to the party guys!!!" Melissa went with Hunter to get the cake, leaving me and Pearl standing at the entrance of the door.

Pearl's POV:-

Soon after we got to the party, everyone was already doing something, some were cooking, playing or dancing. Alan was walking back to me with a drink in hand. "Here, thought you'd need something cold after all the running." I took the drink and had a sip, "Thanks." He was wearing a bikers jacket and a dark green shirt, with deep blue denim jeans and white sneakers. It looked cool on him. After talking at me for a while, he went to hang out with the some guys at the swimming pool and some of the girls invited me to cook some stuff and dance with them, I didn't decline and happily went to enjoy myself.

After an hour or two, Melissa and Hunter came up with the cake, he went on top of a stage and grabbed a mike of its stand and said, "Yo, everybody. Thank you all for coming to my birthday party, now who's ready to eat some cake??" Everyone whooped and cheered as we went to take a piece of the cake.
