Clearwater [Mikey Way]

The next day, Mikey and I are getting ready for our scheduled activities (Mine band practice with Sage and Alice and Mikey's music theory. Haha.) when Magda knocks on the door. Mikey and I just kinda look at each other.
She never goes around knocking unless someone is in trouble and, that I can remember, I haven't killed anyone here.
Mikey opens the door and she just smiles and says "hey Mikey. Mind if I talk to you two?"
He nods and lets her in.
She smiles when she sees me.
"Hey Missy. Jack said he's gonna call tonight. He misses you." She said with a chuckle and I smile genuinely.
Now, I just want to point it that Magda is pretty freaking awesome.
Like, she knows we go to the treehouse and sneak off almost every night and she lets us because she knows what it's like being stuck here.
She even kept it just up punk rock kids who know about our little activities.
Hence why she roomed me with Mikey in the first place.
So they had a new toy to play with.
Magda nods and continues.
"Anyway, as you know, tonight is Sammi's birthday." She says and I shoot a glare at Mikey.
"Why didnt you tell me?!" I ask and he shrugs and answers with "I forgot to tell you."
Magda just laughs at us.
"Anyway, it's her 16th so, just this once, I'm letting you throw a party for her okay? Ive already talked to the others, besides Sammi of course, and they like the idea." She says and I grin.
"Awesome!" I say with a grin and she chuckles.
"But now the downside. Okay, I know you guys all go to the treehouse to drink, okay, and I ignore that because I know you don't go stupid with it. But, I can't let you have any alcohol at the party okay?" She says and Mikey groans.
I chuckle.
"You can't have a party without booze, though!" I whine and she shakes her head.
"Nope. Sorry. If you want to have the party ON PREMISES then no alcohol." She says winking.
She stands up and walks right out the door without a second word and Mikey and I just look at each other.
"She's awesome." I say and he nods.
"Fuck yeah."

As soon as the two of us get out of our activities, and when he managed to shrug Taylor off, we go to help the others plan this party.
We're pretty surprised when we get there to see that they've already pretty much done.
Just a simple party.
Music, dancing, booze.
Perfect.
"So, well have it here. And when she comes tonight for our regular get together thingy, she'll be surprised." Alice declares and earns an approving of from the others.
Seems Mikey and I have come in late.
We take out seat in the circle none-the-less.
Sage smiles when she sees me.
"Hey, Sammi's taken a shine to you. Any ideas on what to get her?" She asks and I thinks for a second.
"Hmmmm... Band merch. Or find out what you tubers she likes or something and get her merch. I'm bad with presents so I'm just getting her DesAndNate shit." I say and Sage laughs.
"It's hard to believe we've been coming here for three years straight and were this close. This is your first year and you're already one of us." Sage's twin Jade says, making me smile.
"Exactly. She IS one of us that's why she fit in so quickly." Mikey says and smiles at me.
I know it's cliche but I actually did feel butterflies.
"Anyway, we just gonna have it tonight?" Alice asks and the rest of the group nods.
"Okay. We'll meet back here at four to start setting up. Sammi should still be in art class with Gerard by then." She says and I chuckle.
"Sorry, I can't help but ask, but is there something going on with them?" I ask and they all laugh.
"Oh god yeah. They refuse to admit it but they're too stupid, or too smart. I can't tell, to hide it." Mikey says, making me chuckle.
Well, that would make sense.
Sage chuckles
"Speaking of couples, have you admitted that you have a crush on her yet, Mik---""SHUT THE FUCK UP" Mikey cuts her off, yelling and blushing madly.
I chuckle and find myself blushing bright red and looking down.
"Sorry. But have you?" She asks and Jade rolls her eyes.
"If he reacted like that, I don't think he has." She says and Sage makes and "oh" face.
Mikey's just blushing crazily and glaring at them.
I do pretty much the same but keep my eyes on the ground.
Alice just chuckles.
"Look, I don't mean to make it awkward, but you need to cut the shit and get together." She says and I hear a fake cough from the door.
I don't even bother turning around.
I feel Patrick kiss my cheek anyway.
He sits next to me and pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around me.
"So, what's this about my girlfriend cutting the shit and getting with one of my best friends?" He asks and Alice, Sage and Jade IMMEDIATELY shut up.
Mikey just looks down though.
I sigh and look at them.
Alice breaks the silence again by, finally, taking about the party again.
I kinda tune out then but I get the outline of it.
Hopefully, we won't get any trouble tonight.

We head back to our "rooms" to get ready after the meeting but, of course, Mikey has to go see Taylor first.
By the time he gets back to START getting ready, I'm sitting the with five bottles of clear nail polish, finished mostly.
He just looks at me.
"Okay. What are you doing?" He asks, watching me break five different coloured glow sticks and pouring the shit inside into each bottle.
"Making glow in the dark nail polish." I say like its the most obvious thing in the world.
He laughs slightly.
"By tipping glow sticks into nail polish. Are you sure?" He asks and I laugh, gesturing for him to come over.
I cover over my first hand that I did with my other one and show him.
It's not dark enough to work proper,y but you can see that it does.
He chuckles.
"That's kinda cool. You know, for nail polish." He says and I laugh.
Anyway, I need top get ready." He says and walks into the bathroom.
I look at the clock and see we only have half an hour before we're supposed top be there.
"Dude, you have half an hour." I call out.
"Nah. That clocks half an hour fast." He says and I facepalm.
"Are you kidding?! I've been ready for, like, and hour." I say and he laughs.
"Well, just sit quietly and wait." He says and I sigh.
I finish my nails and sigh, waiting for them to dry.
Sighing, I look around.
"Hey Missy, can you help?" He calls from the bathroom and I walk over.
"Yup." I call through the door.
He opens it and I smile slightly.
He looks pretty cute, wearing a black button-down and black skinny jeans.
Like, super cute.
"Can you do the back for me?" He asks and I nod, taking the straightener.
I quickly set to his hair and he just stands there.
He turns around when I finish and smiles.
"You look nice." He tells me and I smile.
"Thanks. So do you." I say and he blushes slightly and thanks me.
I can't help but notice he's wearing a little bit of eyeliner too.
Fuck.
Bassist AND wears guyliner.
Why must you do that to me?
I find myself staring and snap myself out of it.
What the fuck Missy!?
I quickly walk out of the bathroom and look at the clock.
"Okay. Lets go." I say and he nods, fixing his glasses.
I grab my phone and little black clutch and we walk out.
