Rothwood High

Chapter 8

Anastasia’s P.O.V

I get home and change into my sweatpants and a hoodie and turn on my music. I wonder about Ansel, should I call him? Tell him about the divorce papers? No, he’s probably busy with Naomi. Ugh, Naomi. I don’t know why I’m so angry at Ansel for letting her sleepover, it’s not as if it’s any of my business, it’s his relationship… but it still annoys me. I get a text from Julien.

Julien-“Hey, Logan and Dylan Chase are having a party tonight, wanna go?”

Anastasia-“Yeah, what time?”

Julien-“9:00, I’ll come pick you up.”

9:00 that’s 10 minutes from now, crap! I rush to get ready. I throw on a black bodycon and black Louboutin’s. I grab my jacket and rush out the door. I’ll text my mom and let her know where I am. Later Julien pulls up infront of my house. I hop in the car and Julien whistles.

“What?!?” I laugh.

“You look hot,” he replies.

“Haha, I thought you were gay?” I reply.

“Just letting you know, you could turn a gay man straight.” And with that he speeds off.

***

We pull up to the party. I get out of the car and shut the door behind me. Someone taps me on the shoulder, I look back its Ansel. He whistles.

“Damn that’s two tonight, I’ doing good.” I laugh.

“Two, who was the other one?” He asks.

“Julien” I reply.

“That doesn’t really count” he says with a smirk.

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?!?” Julien butts in.

We all laugh and make our way up the stairs to the front door.

Ansel’s P.O.V

I heard about the party at Dylan and Logan’s and decided to go. They’re old friends from when I lived in Cali. I didn’t realise they had moved.

***

We all entered their house and I looked around. I didn’t see anyone I recognised.

I made my way to the kitchen to get a drink leaving Julien and Sia behind. As I walked into the kitchen I saw Dylan and Logan and shouted “Hey!” they turned round. As I walked over I noticed a girl standing beside them, she looked pissed. As I got closer I recognised her face, Naomi.

“What the hell are you going here? And with a bottle of vodka in your hand?” I shout.

“God, calm down dude.” Appears Justin.

“Oh and you too, even better.” I say.

“Listen were her just to have fun, loosen up a little bit.” Naomi says grabbing my arms throwing them about. She was stinking of alcohol and weed.

“What the hell, have you been smoking?” I yell pulling her arms off mine.

“Ugh, shut up.” She says grabbing Justin’s hand. They walk off.

Anastasia’s P.O.V

I hear shouting and tell Julien to come over. We walk over to the kitchen and I notice Naomi and Justin.

“I didn’t know Naomi was coming.” Julien says.

I ignore him and Naomi pushes past me, holding Justin’s hand. I pull Ansel’s arm turning him around.

“What’s going on.” I ask Ansel.

“Just leave it.” He demands.

He grabs a red cup and fills it with drink and downs it. He walks over to a group of girls and starts flirting with them. ‘Do you know what I’m not even going to bother’ I think to myself. Julien grabs my arm and pulls me on to the dance floor. I look to my right and notice Willow and Thea standing next to us.

“Oh my god! Yay” I say hugging them.

“Have you guys seen Dylan and Logan?!?” They say.

“God their fit!!” We laugh.

“Not really my type” I reply.

“Eh speak for yourself.” Julien says.

We all laugh and continue dancing.

***

After a while of dancing we decide to leave.

“I just need to go to the bathroom first.” I say.

“Okay we’ll meet you outside.” Replies Julien.

 Willow and Thea decide to get a ride with us since they had both been drinking.

I make my way up the stairs pushing past people. I walk to the bathroom but I catch something in the corner of my eye. I look to my right. Naomi and Justin…
