This Can’t Be Happening-Chapter 2

 It was nighttime, and the girls were already on their way to Reko’s birthday party. It only took them a 20-minute walk for having no licence, but hey, at least they all live a little close to each other. As soon as they arrived, Reko greeted them at the front door and led them to the living room full of all their friends they know from school.          “Sophie!” The anonymous person shouted in joy. She knew that high but not so high-pitched voice, and who it belonged to. Before she could think she felt arms wrap around her neck and pull her into an ever so tight hug.       

   ‘Yep’ Sophie thought and turned her head to see a male smiling a childish smile at her.      

   “And how are you, Julien?” Sophie asked.
 

   “I’m doing good, doing better now that you’re here!” Julien tugged at her more.
   

 “Would’ya quit being lovey dovey for a second? For 1. you’re in a room with many people, and 2. It’s not the time cause it’s, MY PARTY!! So sit your tiny butts down and hang out with the rest of us.” Reko shouted with sarcasm and worked her emotions up to joy. 
     “We-were not together!” Sophie shouted while her face was quickly turning into different shades of red.
     ‘Besides… Even if I were to like anybody, I wouldn’t be interested because I have school to get by” She thought as she was pulled to sit down right beside Julien and Amber. As if on cue, Reko wanted to watch a movie of her choice it was a scary one since it would be funny to see most of her friends suffer, but for Sophie, she wanted an out. That was until Amber glanced at her and smiled for reassurance.
   

 “Ready guys?” Reko smirked as she looked at the ones who were already frightened. She then jumped into the middle of the couch between two girls named Erika and Angelica. The set up was Reko, Erika, and Angelica on the couch, Sophie, Amber, Julien, Angel, Ash and some others gathered and cuddled up on the floor altogether. While the movie was going, you could hear a few people yelping whenever there was a jump scare. Sophie got up to get some water for herself until she had the urge to use the bathroom. When she got to the bathroom and did her business, she heard a gentle and creepy voice saying, “Be careful… watch.. watch your back!..” She shivered in fear and ran all the way back to her spot in the living room. When she sat there with her legs tucked in and arms around her legs, she felt someone pull her in. She looked up, and it was non-other than Julien. He knew that she was frightened and had a wild imagination, so as always when things like this happen, he cradles her for reassurance.
   

 “That was a good movie.” She heard Reko say as she stood up to stretch. As she looked around, some people were asleep.        

 “Huh, guess this is a sleepover. I won’t bother to waken any of the others up, so I’ll grab blankets for all of us” Reko said as she walked off. Sophie felt a tug and realized that she was still being cradled by her friend, but, she was tired to move and he was asleep, so she stayed in that position without a care in the world of who is staring or if she was falling in love or being the same old Sophie she is. 

   “Here, take two blanket for you two, I know you want to move but you can’t cause of this guy. So, night Sophie, I’ll handle the rest.” Reko said in a quiet voice. Sophie then nodded and gave her a goon night back. And within just a few minutes, Sophie dozed off into slumber.
