Chapter 6.

I seem to have lost Mia in the crowd. I don't know why I even decided to come, I guess some part of me wanted to see Hunter and another part of me wanted him to see me.

I'm so stupid and pathetic. This was a terrible idea. God why did I come.

Welp, I don't have anything to do, so I'll just get really drunk I guess.

The day before:

"Hello?'' I ask

"Do you not look at caller ID or something." 

"Hey Mia." 

"So Alexis... Tom is hosting a party in a few days. And well I thought that it was about time for you to get out of the house, meet some new people, primarily boys and flirt a little. Right?" Mia says very quickly and in a small voice.

"Let me guess, you want to see Tom and you're using me as an excuse. Right?''

"Yeah pretty much" Mia replies.

That girl has no shame.

"But I have nothing to wear." I say to tease her.

"We can go shopping!" Mia instantly replies.

She knows my weaknesses to well.

"Fine, I'll go." I reply defeated.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Mia cries . "Well let's go shopping then!"

"I'll see you at the mall in 15 minutes okay?''

"Okay.''

When we arrive at the mall, I make a beeline for my favorite boutique. I immediately see a cute shirt, but there's a cute dress over there, that one over there would make me look hot though. And Hunter knows Tom, so I'll have a do over on the 'I'm so over you strut' instead of the 'oh crap it seems I'm at your house drenched in sweat, let me sprain my ankle while I'm at it strut'

I go into the changing rooms with three dresses. One of them is a black halter romper with lace detailing, the other is a lot more girly and has triangle cutouts at the waist and a floral print, the third one is a black bodycon dress with black and white stripes at the sleeves and neck with cutouts at the shoulders.

Mia was waiting for me outside the changing room. So I came out and showed her all the dresses like in some bad montage in a rom-com. She makes a few comments but you can tell that she likes the third one the most because it quote on quote makes me look like a total babe. 

In the end I decide to take Mia's advice and go with the third dress. I think that I'll dress it down with some sneakers. To make it seem more laid back.
Mia decides to wear a cropped black shirt and a black skirt. 

When we're done shopping we decide to go to Jet's. Xavier's flirty cashier is still there and apparently still not too happy about us. But she manages to plaster on a fake smile and take our orders. When she's turned around Mia whispers; 

"Horton hears a hoe.'' Making me burst in a fit of giggles.

God I needed that burger. But I must say the milkshake also helped.

"So Mia... What level of crushing are you with Tom?"

"Well I haven't developed a full blown crush on him yet. And I can still listen to cutesy love songs without him immediately popping up in my mind, but I wouldn't mind if he asked me out. To put it lightly." She replies before popping an onion ring in her mouth.

"That's a pretty good summary."

I look up and guess who walks in. Tom.

Speak of the devil.

"So Mia I think I'm gonna go."

"Wait why?" Mia says kinda scared.

I wave Tom over and whisper a quick your welcome to Mia.

"Bye guys!''

I am such a good matchmaker. Hair flip.

------------------------------------------------------

Mia's over at my house putting on make-up and talking about how awesome the party is going to be. I start to get nervous, what if they're there together. Probably, maybe I should start getting used to it. 

I start applying my own makeup and create a nice smoky eye which I'm quite proud of. I wonder if Xavier is going to go to the party. I walk over to my window and start rapping on his. He opens it. And not to be too thirsty but he looks kinda hot. He's wearing a blue button up and some nice jeans and his hair is styled into a quiff. Apparently I was staring a little too long. Because when I make eye contact he's giving me a puzzled look. Does he not know that he's hot! My god I've found a hot one without an ego twice his size. Eureka.

"Hey, I was wondering if you were going to Tom's party."

"Yeah." He says gesturing to his outfit. "What about you guys?"

"Yeah." I say gesturing to my outfit, not to brag but he was definitely staring too.

"Okay, if you want to carpool with us, we're leaving in ten.''

In the car I see Mia taking a sip out of her flask. Which I slap out of her hand.

"You're the designated driver remember!" I receive a pout back.

I pull up at Tom's house where the party's already started. You can already hear the music.

Five minutes after being inside I seem to have lost Mia in the crowd.
I shouldn't of come, I guess some part of me wanted to see Hunter and another part of me wanted him to see me.

I'm so stupid and pathetic. This was a terrible idea. God why did I come.

Well, I don't have anything to do, so I'll just get really drunk I guess.

I go to the makeshift bar and start taking to a random guy about doing a game of shots. He, not surprisingly goes along with it. After six shots of vodka I sit down, my throat still burning from the last shot, when it passes my stomach gets warm. Where my shot partner has gone I don't know. I stand up to look for him, when I'm on the dance floor I start jumping around until my foot slips and I fall down on the floor. I stay there for a while. I start giggling because the floor just looks so darn funny up close. Whoa everything is swirly. I stay there for a while till a good looking stranger picks me up.

"Hey there stranger, did, do you know that your super hot." I say, then I start laughing again at how funny I am. Then I start babbeling about potatoes. Al the while the stranger keeps carrying me. He seems to be grinning know though. He smells so good. Suddenly I get scared and start squirming. I have to get out.

"Alexis could you stop squirming." The guy says. I start to pout but I relax, I think I know this bundle of hotness who is carrying me. 

After what seems like forever the bundle of hotness puts me down. For some reason we're outside.I see a half empty beer bottle and start drinking the contents. Before it's taken away from me.  

"Alexis you're piss drunk, I'm taking you home."

"But I don't wanna go home.'' "You can't make me!"

"Yes I can." He says crouching next to me.

"Okay but only for a kiss." Before Mr. Hot can respond I already crash my lips on his. For a second he kisses me back but then he breaks it off. 

"Let's go Alexis" He says before helping me in the car. Then I black out on someones lap. I still don't who the guy I kissed was.
