with Gabriella, so she
invited her cousin, Becky, and her boyfriend, Charlie with her
instead. Becky was only nineteen, with long blonde curly hair, and
green eyes. Her boyfriend was twenty-one, short, with dirty
blonde hair, and dark green eyes. Gabriella thought bringing a
couple along, would fathom Joey she saw the night as a date.
Beisdes, she a couldn’t ask any of her other friends to come, and
she even concealed from them, Joey even invited her to the party.
    When Joey got off from work on Friday, he went home and
took a long, hot shower to relax his nerves. When he got out, he
proeceed to styling his hair. His hairstyle was cut short in the
back, and longer up on top. He gelled the longer pieces forward,
tipping up the ends. He smiled at himself in the mirror, in a way
he hadn’t smiled before, he felt the same joy in his heart he felt,
when he saw Gabriella for the first time.
    He then put on the outfit he had laid out on his bed. He
decided to wear a pair of dark demin jeans, and a plain black
button down shirt. He chose to wear his pair of black timberland
low top boots right along with it. He wanted to look exceptional
for Gabriella, to match the way she made him feel. He put one his
signature scent of cologne, and then headed for Gavin’s house.
    Gabriella had Becky come over at eight to get ready for the
party. She figured they’d leave around eleven, and arrive to the
party around eleven fifteen. She figured it started sometime
around ten, but didn’t want to walk in too early looking eager.
Besides, she thought when she chose the time to arrive, ‘I want
him to sweat it out a bit.’
    While getting ready, Becky curled Gabriella’s hair with a
large curling iron, and the result, like Gabriella had worn it several
times before, thick, large, shiny, beautiful, ringlet curls. Gabrielle
loved how her hair came out. She put in just the right amount of
hair spray to hold the curls without stiffening her hair. She did her
make-up, simply putting black eye liner on the tops of her lids,
extending the line past her eye lids, and then up in a curl. She then
penciled eyeliner on the inside of her bottom eye lid as well. She
strategically brushed purple eye shadow on her eyelids because she
read somewhere, purple was the best eye shadow color to bring out
brown eyes. She then applied her mascara, using the outside of her
index finger to curl her lashes, and took a good look at herself.
She was smitten by herself, and as usual, was thankful for her good
looks.
    She then put on her outfit she shopped for down at the
Jersey shore; black jean short shorts, with a white glossy shirt, that
had slits to show off her cleavage, but not reveal too much. She
put on her new pair of black flip flops with a heart charm, that had
a slight heal. When she looked in the long mirror in her room, she
thought she was wearing the perfect outfit for a house party in the
summertime. She was also a knockout and she knew it. Gabriella
was pleased with how she came out. Becky had admitted to her,
she looked even better than usual, and she knew it herself, Becky
was telling the truth.
    Joey arrived to Gavin’s house early to pass the time. He
wasn’t sure what else to do with himself.
Joey and Gavin road to
the liquor store to pick up a few bottles of liquor. They then went
to the convince store to get beer, and stuff to mix with the liquor
they had just bought. Joey wasn’t sure what Gabriella liked to
drink, and he wanted to make sure he had a good selection for her
to choose from. His intentions were definitely not to get her drunk,
but drinking at a party is just something you did.
    Gabriella was nervous by the time Charlie had gotten to her
house. The girls were all ready by ten, and Charlie had arrived by
ten fifteen. It was way too early for them to leave. Gabriella
offered them drinks while she made one for herself to settle down.
As she took her first sip, her stomach was all twisted in knots. .
“What’s wrong?”
