Chapter 8-TEA PARTY
————————————————————
Belly and I went home and got ready quickly we got dressed and then put on some makeup. We looked like lady's. Once we where done getting ready it was time to go to the county club.

Our mom drove us there. The whole time asking if we where sure we wanted to do this.

We finally arrived. "Have fun girls if you decide that this isn't for you the girls or mean or the foods bad or you just don't like it text me and I'll come get you" my mom says

"we will be alright mom" I tell her. "Do you girls remember our code word?" She asks us. "Lemons jelly belly" we both say at the same time.

That was our code word because when we where little I loved lemon's and belly loved jelly belly's.

"Text that to me and I'll be hear" mom says. We nodded at her. "I love you girls bye" she says. "Love you" we both say.

She drives off and we start walking towards the club. Once inside the club we see Jeremiah caring towels.

"Jere!" Belly Calls for him he doesn't notice us. "Jeremiah!" I try but still nothing. He walks closer to us and looks shocked.

"Oh my god Belly, Emma I didn't even recognize you" he says shocked. He looked at me up and down.

Maybe I will finally get him to notice me being a deb. But then he looked belly up and down. Maybe not.

"Tells us the truth ugh do we look like fools?" She asked Jeremiah.

Jeremiah began to chuckle at her question. "Ugh no y-you look good" he says smiling at belly.

For some reason I felt sick. Seeing him smile at her like that made me feel like I was gonna throw up.

"Let me walk you girls over" he says smiling at both of us.

This is gonna sound selfish but I hated sharing his attention his smile his look everything I hated it.

I look down. Belly just stares at him. "What?" Jeremiah asks. "Ugh nothing" belly giggles.

I should not feel like this. I should not feel like punching my twin cuz she is semi flirting with the guy I've liked since forever. She doesn't know I liked him.

"Ok let's go" he says. We start to walk. Jeremiah in the middle. He looked over at belly's dress.

"Are those pineapples?" He asked her. "Pineapples?" She questioned laughing.  "Pineapples ya" he said. "No have you ever seen flowers" belly giggled.

I wanted to cry I wanted to scream I wanted to punch something. I had so many different emotions going through my head.

As we walk up the stairs we both link arms with Jeremiah. He is talking about the cookies of course.

We walk into the room and everyone looks at us. I suddenly feel self conscious.

"Jeremiah" a lady says walking towards us. "Page" he says back. "Where is your shirt?" She asks him. "Always a pleasure" he smiles at her. He grabs her and hand and kisses it and she chuckles a little.

"This is Isabel and this is Emma Conklin" he introduced us. "The young wiman my mother told you about" Jeremiah say. "One of them will be my future wife" he smirks.

If he would have just said that about me I would be over the moon but he was also talking about belly witch sucked all the sweetness out of it.

We both tried to hit him discreetly giving him a look. "There late" Paige says. "We are so sorry" I say. "Your both at table two" she tells us.

Jeremiah eyes go to the food. "Are those those little brilliant fig jam sandwiches with the prosciutto?" Jeremiah asks. "Don't you dare" page says and steps away. "Ok" Jeremiah says while smirking.

"Those are for the girls" she says as Jeremiah charges for them. "Those are for the girls!" She yells. But Jeremiah already has one. "Just one" he says running from the table up to belly and I. "Knock them dead" he says to us then runs off.

Belly and I laugh and go find our table. We sit down and see two familiar faces.

There was the girl with Steven at the bomb fire and the girl that was with Conrad at the bomb fire. Oh great. We all induced ourselves.

"I told my mom I would only do this if I could bring my girlfriend thinking it would be a dealbreaker but I guess the club is totally cool with it" one of the girls say. So Susannah was right.

Steven walks in and pours Shayla some water. I didn't know Steven would be here.

Him and Shayla flirt a little. I mean eww gross but they would be a cute couple Shayla seems like such a sweet girl.

We all start talking about why we are here. "The things I do for college application's" a girl says. They all start talking about collages.

Then we get asked about college. "Oh Emma and Belly are only sophomores right" Nicole the girl Conrad was with says. "I think that is what Conrad told me" she adds.

Belly and I share a look. "Ya Juniors in the fall" I say. "So is this your first summer in cousins?" A girl asks. Belly and I shake or head no.

"Actually Emma and I have been coming here since we where born" belly says. "Ya they are like family friends with Jeremiah and Conrad" Nicole says.

"So you guys like life with Jeremiah" a girl asks. "Yep" I say. "Do either of you like have a thing with him?" She asks.

"Omg Gigi chill!" Nicole says laughing. "What it was just a question!" Gigi defends. "There basically related nothing to worry about" she says.

We aren't even close to being related I was like in love with Jeremiah fisher and belly was in love with Conrad fisher we definitely where not "basically related."

" Gigi has this thing for Jeremiah" Nicole tells us. Oh great another girl who is down bad for Jeremiah fisher. Just what I needed another girl to be jealous of and compare myself to. Shall I say more competition.

"Ya she has had the hots for him ever since he got abs" Shayla giggles. Gigi gives her a look. "Relax I'm not into Jeremiah fisher!" Shayla says putting her hands up. Thank god somebody isn't.

"Ya she is to busy eye fucking the waiter" a girl says. Belly and I cringe.

"Dude that is Belly and Emma's brother!" Shayla says. "Omg gross" belly says. I just give Shayla a grossed out look and we both start laughing.

Then Paige starts talking. She talks about what being a debutant is all about. She talks about how all of us newbies have "big sisters."

Belly's big sister is Nicole oh she must be over the moon. Mine is Shayla witch I love cuz Shayla seems pretty awesome.

As we sit listening to page I notice passing from every table is a flask. They pass it to belly she declines and passes it to me. "I'll be right back" she says. Walking out quick "what's that about?" A girl asks me. I shrug and take a drink out of the flask.

Belly comes back and I give her a look witch she replies by whispering "later."
