Here I am, at a fucking school party I didn't even want to come to. My friend decided that it would be a good idea to socialise.
I'm standing in the corner by myself with my friend occasionally coming to ask if I needed a drink.
As the night went on, more people left and the quieter it became. It was soon just me, my friend and the guys that hosted the party.
"Come on Y/n, we're gonna play a game," my friend was trying to drag me by my arm towards the guys.
I gave in,"Fine, but I swear if we play truth or dare I'm willing to stab someone"
We sat down on the floor with the guys. I sat next to my friend and as far away as I could from James (I really didn't like new people.)
"So what do you guys want to play," Lars asked looking in my direction. I caught his eye and looked away rapidly.
"How about truth or dare?" Kirk said enthusiastically.
Cliff got up straight away and went to the kitchen to grab another beer. I was going to follow him but my friend grabbed my arm and pulled me back down.
"Just play, for me?" She whispered in my ear, catching the attention of the rest of the guys.
"What's she saying?" Lars asked me.
It was like he was trying to get me to talk. I just looked at him and shook my head, willing him to go on with the game.
I started looking around nervously, I hated this game. As I did so Kirk made eye contact with me and gave me a thumbs up, silently asking if I was ok.
I nodded my head back at him and averted my attention back to the game.
When I turned back I saw that my friend was on James' lap getting ready to kiss him.
I quickly got up and headed for the door, I didn't want any part in this whatsoever.
As I was walking out the door, I felt a hand on my wrist. I turned around expecting it to be my friend, but it was actually Kirk.
"Where are you going?" He questioned.
"Leaving. I didn't want any part in this anyway," as I went to leave again he kept his hand on my wrist and pulled me back.
"I didn't know the guys were gonna ask dares like that," he asked genuinely.
"I don't care, I'm going," I tugged my arm towards myself viscously and stormed off into the night towards my home.
~time skip~
I hauled my school bag downstairs, already wishing the day to be over. My friend called last night to check where I'd gone and also gave me the worst information ever.
She kissed Kirk.
I tried to get it off my mind, but nothing was working.
I ate my breakfast and started the trek towards the school.
When I was about halfway there I noticed Kirk on the path opposite me. He noticed me too and crossed the road. I didn't exactly want to talk to him right now, but I couldn't just ignore him.
"I'm guessing she told you then?"
"Yeah," I wanted to keep my answers as short as possible.
"I didn't want that to happen"
"I don't care, ok, it happened, can we just get over it?" I finally burst, making Kirk jump a little.
"It sounds like you care a lot," he continued.
"She's just a flirt and I don't like it, it's not a good way of living"
"Exactly why I'm not attracted to her"
"What? You don't like the flirting," I questioned.
"No. It makes you seem too desperate"
I silently nodded and we walked quietly the rest of the way.
Once we had gotten inside the school I found my friend and walked over. She looked too happy with herself for kissing the guys last night.
"Can you believe that I kissed half of the guys last night," she was bragging to a bunch of girls in our Grade.
"It's not something to be proud of," I butted in.
"Your just jealous 'cause I kissed Kirk and you didn't"
She was really trying to ruffle my feathers, so I rolled my eyes and walked away before there was an argument.
"Where are you going?" She called after me.
"Away from your slutty ass"
I thought I did well until I felt my hair being pulled by her. She tugged with all her might until we were both on the floor with a teacher trying to break us up.
"Get off each other!"
The teacher pulled us from the floor and dragged us into isolation. We sat there in silence and then the door opened to reveal the one person I didn't want to see.
Kirk.
He walked over.
"Why were you fighting?"
"I wasn't, it was her that started it"
"Why?"
"Because I called her a slut," I said it like it was nothing.
"Why did you call her slut?" I felt like there had been a murder because of all the questions I was being asked.
"Because she kissed you and James last night"
He sighed and got up.
"I can't believe your making a big deal out of this!"
"Why shouldn't I be making a big deal out of this?"
"Because I told you I don't like her"
I looked at him confused,"You think I'm jealous of her?"
"Maybe," he shrugged his shoulders."You should have been there to stop it"
"Didn't you try?"
"Yeah, of course, because I don't like her, but I had no choice after you left"
"What are you trying to say?"
"I wanted to kiss you, not her"
I felt so stupid for not seeing the signs. But I felt so elated that the one thing I had wished for had come true.
I ran up to him and kissed him, he kissed back almost immediately and we would have stayed there longer if the teacher hadn't walked in.
"Detention for both of you, after school"
We both sighed, looked at each other and giggled.
