We walked into Austin's house. It was pretty big, well big enough for a party. Right when we walked in, we were hit by the smell of smoke, sweat, and hit by body heat in the room. It was so stuffy but I shrugged it off. I'm used to these kinds of parties. The music was so loud, I could barely make out what song it was. You had people dancing everywhere, whoops of people playing beer pong or body shots, and couples hooking up in every corner of the house.

This random guy came up to us handing us drinks. He was already wasted. You could tell by the way he slurred all of his words when he offered. I saw Aileen about to open her mouth and deny the offer but i accepted them and said, "Thanks man."

He walked off with a goofy grin obviously approving. I rolled my eyes then turned to Aileen.

"Here." I said and handed her the drink.

"I don't drink and I don't want it." She declined.

"If you don't take it someone else is going to come and bring you another one." I countered. She thought it over. Then agreed and held it in her had.

I took a sip of mine due to victory.

I smiled after and asked, "Wanna dance?"

She shook her head. She looked bored. "No thanks."

I wasn't going to argue. I saw no point, she'll blow up. Girls with their emotions and such.

I shrugged, "Whatever I'll be back in bit, I'm gonna go say hi to my friends. Miss me baby." I blew her a kiss then smiled.

She just rolled her eyes and walked away. Wow show me how you really feel about being here why don't you?

I took a gulp of my drink as I walked out back. I spotted my group of friends.

"Espinosa! You made it!" Austin cheered.

"Austin, my man! Nice party!" He stood up to give me a bro hug.

"Okay so dude who's that chick you walked in with? Looks like a total prissy bitch. Did you give her a drink?" Gilinsky remarked with a smirk evident on his face.

"Nah dude she'll need something stronger than that then." Nate joked. "We all know how those girls are."

You heard 'true' or 'yeah' or hums of agreement. I kept my calm demeanor but they can't trash her like that, right? They barely even know they girl. I barely even know the girl.

"Who Aileen?" I shrugged, "I gave her a drink I don't think she'll drink it. She's cool I guess. Kinda stubborn but it's too early to call her a bitch so can you guys just chill?" I defended.

"Yeah whatever." Carter called then hooted. "Espinosa's getting some isn't he?" He smirked taking a giant gulp of whatever was in his solo cup.

The whoops and hoots were loud making me slightly embarrassed and ashamed I feel lame. I know what they're gonna ask next.

"Tell us Matt, is she a baddie?" Sam wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yeah was she good?" Nash teased.

"We gotta know if we wanna be next!" Taylor said.

"Guys guys," I sighed, "I can't say." I shrugged with a sly smile.

And I literally couldn't. Nothing's happened yet. I don't want to say anything about Aileen, it feels weird because she's so, I don't know, innocent. I wanna know her. If I say anything I'll regret it and my chances of that narrow. So, I didn't deny nor agree. Plus if I deny I'd sound like a total pussy.

The whines and scoffs were audible.

"C'mon" someone one yelled but I didn't really care.

I smiled, "Sorry keeping my mouth closed." I shrugged, "Alright see you guys later I'm gonna go look for chicks." I winked and walked away. Hoots found their way back to our conversation while I bid my goodbye.
