Addiction

24 || A crush

Everyone just got back to campus because we were away for Thanksgiving. I was in New York. We had the classic Hayden's Thanksgiving. My grandparents came from France, along with an annoying cousin, my other grandparents came too from Long Island. So does aunts, uncles and cousins. It was chaotic. The ones that don't live in New York stayed in our house. I never understand why my mother wants them to stay with us. It's been proven that isn't a good idea.

This year Nate and our cousin Finn got into a fight for the fun of it and Finn ended up with a fractured wrist. I cheered for Nate when he won but my mother didn't appreciate that. Megan, our cousin's Brandon new girlfriend, threw herself at Logan and Brandon noticed that and they got into a big fight and he kicked her out of the house.

Surprisingly, I stayed away from most of the drama but I can't say that I didn't fire back at Violette's insults. Violette is the cousin that my grandparents brought from France. We actually call her Violet. She is the grandchild of my grandma's sister. Two years younger and insanely jealous of me. She wants to go to Yale too.

I was just drinking with Ellie. My mother's little sister. She is the coolest and the funniest. She lives in LA, she is single and hot. The rich and funny aunt everyone wants.

Anyways, now I am back at Yale. It's Thursday night and the six of us have a small gathering in my room. It's raining a lot outside and it's so cold. December is showing his teeth.

We are playing Trivial Pursuit and we are eating pizza. We are playing as couples and me and Dylan won all the rounds and Chase and Olivia got really mad and started complaining that they don't want to play anymore. So, now we have to find something else to play.

"What about pass the lighter?" Olivia suggests.

"No, Ol, friendships got ruined because of this stupid game." Grace rejects her idea and she is low-key right.

"I wanna play!" Dylan exclaims.

"Of course you do." I roll my eyes.

"I am in." Chase shrugs.

"I am not sure." Lucas looks skeptical.

"Come on, it will be fun!" Dylan groans.

"Fine, let's play. But only if we avoid questions that could make us uncomfortable." I give in and then Lucas and Grace agree too.

We have been playing for a while but we are taking it easy.

Olivia just got the lighter as the cheap drunk of the group. Lucas gave it to her.

"Okay, Dylan." She turns to face him "Pass the lighter to the richest baby in here." She gives him the lighter. Dylan passed me the lighter "It's you, obviously." He says and all of them nodded their heads in agreement. I guess I am. "It makes sense, dad Hayden is a multimillionaire." Olivias adds.

"Billionaire." I shrug casually and I hear Lucas choking on his coke and Dylan laughing with him.

"Okay, Grace!" I begin giving her the lighter "Pass the lighter to the person you believe that could drop everything to follow the love of their life in another country." I say and she chuckles "Easy." She passes Dylan the lighter. He chuckles too knowing it's true.

Then, Dylan gives the lighter to Chase "Okay, bestie, pass the lighter to the prettiest person in here." Dylan smirks "Can I keep it?" Chase smirks and everyone rolls his eyes. "No!" Dylan spat "Fine." Chase sighs and then he passes me the lighter.

What?

Everyone smirked except for me. I blushed, yeah. I am that pathetic. Chase kept a blank expression.
