"Okay, someone needs to fucking inform me because P-Chris just told me that Lilly and Jonas are officially dating." Eva yelled as she stormed into Noora's kitchen.

I blushed and took a sip of my wine. I then threw her a sheepish smile and Eva plopped down on the kitchen stool next to Chris, sitting opposite of me.

"Hva. Fæn." She said and threw her hands up in exasperation. "I sent my phone in to get it fixed for once in my life and I miss this?!"

"Sorry." I muttered and Noora and Sana who were preparing guacamole at the counter chuckled at my facial expression.

"You didn't even say anything to me in school today?"

"I thought one of the girls had already told you." I defended myself. "And you didn't ask about it so I didn't really feel the need to bring it up."

Eva grunted loudly and shook her head. "I'm happy for you though." Her face lit up with a grin after a second of hesitation.

"Takk." I smiled and refilled my glass with the white wine I had brought.

Sana and Noora finished preparing the food and sat down next to us with the bowl.

"Do we have any special plans for tonight?" Chris asked and grabbed a Nacho out of another bowl that had already been set on the table a few minutes ago.

Vilde shrugged. "Be cool, get girls to like us?"

"We seriously need to switch up our strategy." Noora admitted, dunking her Nacho into the guacamole. "This one doesn't seem to be working."

"Actually, it does." Eva grinned and lifted a finger. "This Emma girl, you know, the one Isak kind of had a thing with before he got with Even, well, she came up to me the other day and asked if we also recruited younger girls."

"That's stupid though." Vilde scrunched up her nose and shook her head. "She won't be Russ at the same time as we will so why would she want to be on our bus?"

"Probably the parties." Chris muttered, lifting her beer to her lips.

"Actually." Eva's eyes zoomed in on me. "She mentioned Lilly, asking if she was still in contact with the ex-third-year-guys."

"Why is everything about those boys?" I groaned and rubbed my forehead. "It's like their celebrities. They're not even at our school anymore but people still think of them as famous. How does Emma even know them? That was before she was even at our school."

"Word travels." Chris shrugged apologetically. "And they're really hot."

"We're not recruiting her." Sana shook her head. "She's too young and only after guys. No way we'll be affiliated with her."

"Cruel, but true." Eva agreed.

"She's sweet but we can barely handle us on the bus." I pointed out and leaned back in my chair. "How are we supposed to deal with even more people?"

"We'll end up on a loser van, I'm telling you guys." Eva sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

I grinned. "Los Losers." I said, quoting Sana at our first bus meeting.

"There's still time." Vilde pointed out and we all nodded.

"True, there's still time. And there's also time before the party at Ingrid's tonight so we need to use it to get Eva changed." Chris motioned towards Eva's skirt.

"What's wrong with my skirt?"

"It's too long." Chris snorted. "You want to hook up with someone tonight, you gotta show the goods."

"Fy faen, Chris."

"We need cred, girls!"

—————

"I want to live here." I muttered as we arrived at Ingrid's house. "Look at the view."

"Her parents are loaded. What did you expect?" Sana snorted and pushed me towards the door to the huge house.

Chris, Eva, Vilde and Noora had already disappeared through the doorframe.
The music was loud. However, Ingrid had been smart enough to close all the curtains inside so at least nobody saw the flashing neon lights from the lighters she had borrowed from the theatre group from our school. The only thing indicating there was a  party, was the constant booming of the bass.
I looked up to the windows in the first floor. They had beautiful small iron balconies in front of them and I instantly got jealous.

"Is Jonas going to be here?"

Sana ripped me out of my thoughts. She already stood in the hallway of the house whilst I was still gaping at the facade like an idiot.

I shook my head and also stepped inside. "He said he would. I don't know if he really is here though. Wait." I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

"He texted me a while ago, saying they're here."

"I'm so happy and excited for you." Sana clapped her hands and grinned widely. "First boyfriend."

It was hard to have a conversation because the music was so loud but I had heard her nonetheless. I rolled my eyes, pulling off my coat and hanging it over a hook at the wall.

"Now we just have to get you one and everyone's happy." I winked and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Not happening."

"Sure, sure."

We walked into the living room together.
It was a huge room with a fire place, filled with drunk or tipsy teenagers, smoke, the smell of alcohol and music.

I scrunched up my nose in disgust and sighed. "Remind me why we come to these parties again."

Sana chuckled next to me. "To get smashed and hook with strangers."

"Ew."

"Don't be so middle-class." She mocked me and pointed towards Noora who was leaning against the wall near the fire place. "Let's go there."

Before I could answer, a voice came up from behind me, tickling my neck.

"Hei, babes. Here often?" Jonas' breath was warm on my skin and I couldn't help but smile.

"Depends." I said and turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck. "How often are you here?"

"Okay, I'm off." Sana patted my shoulder and disappeared in the mass of bodies to our left.

Jonas looked after her for a second before returning his gaze to me. "Some times. Not too often though. It's not my crowd." He snaked his arms around my back and pulled me closer.

"What is your crowd then?" I grinned, tilting my head to the side.

"You." He smirked and leaned down to kiss me.

As soon as his lips touched mine, I relaxed and buried my hands in his locks.
The butterflies in my stomach were raging. I would probably never get used to this feeling.

We pulled away after a minute and Jonas grinned down at me. He slightly leaned back, nodding his head.

"I appreciate this very much." He licked his lips and I contemplated to kiss him again. "Now I can just kiss you whenever and wherever I want. My life is finally complete."

"Aren't you a charmer?" I laughed and pulled myself from his neck, turning towards the living room again. "Let's get something to drink."

"I have a better idea." Jonas wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his head on my shoulder. "We'll get something to drink and then we'll ditch this party and sit outside in the garden."

"The ground is ice cold. I'm not going to sit there. I'll get sick." I snorted.

"Who said anything about sitting on the ground?" Jonas chuckled, pushing me in a direction. "They actually have this little patio thing that you can sit on or in and overlook the harbour and the whole city." He let go of my waist and took my hand, pulling me behind him.

"Fine." I groaned into his back. "But as soon as I get cold, we'll go back inside."

"I'll keep you warm." Jonas said over his shoulder.

I raised my eyebrows in question. "Is that a promise."

"It's a deal proposal." He shrugged. "So?" He turned and I realized that we were standing in a kitchen now. "Deal?"

I nodded. "Deal."
