Habits

chapter 2|school society

Kacy's POV

after the party on Saturday night I didn't remember what really went down. All I really do remember is being high and drunk on about 1,000 different things. Luckily when I woke up I was ok. I was passed out on Jack's couch with Matthew laying on the floor below me. There was about 7 other people scattered through the living room and 10 throughout the rest of the house. Jack was no where to be found. Weird considering this is his house and his party. Jacks parents where also no where to be found.

Deciding to be nice, I shook Matthew until he woke up.

"Whatttttt" he groaned.

"I'm taking you home cmon" I said lifting him off the ground.

He slowly lifted himself and leisurely started walking through the house. I assisted him down the porch steps and into the front seat of my car. He curled up in it like a baby. I laughed and walked around to my seat. As I started the car, the engine revved making Matthew sit up.

"Wooooo dude you have a sick car" he said sitting up

"Well thanks" I said speeding away from Jack's house.

My car was pretty nice. Black BMW M3 with matte finish. On the inside it was white leather and I had subs to make my bass super crazy. Of course this $125,000 car was fully paid for by my dad.

As we continued to drive I asked where I was going.

"Starbucks" Matthew said messing with the radio.

"No Matthew where's your house" I said.

"I want Starbucks" he said.

"Dude I don't. I wanna go home and see what my apartment looks like at this point" I said.

Ignoring my comment Matthew continued. "I'm not getting out of this car unless it is at a Starbucks"

"Oh my gosh you little baby fine" I said turning into the strip mall.

Sure enough there was a Starbucks. Matthew was staring to regain is consciousness and wasn't as drowsy. But boy was he hung over. He ordered a vente mocha frappichino and a lemon cake while I got a grande black tea. Tea always helped my head. We sat down at a table and dug into our hungover cure.

"Happy now" I said fixing my lid

"Yes thank you Kacy" he said grinning like a kid on Christmas

After we ate I drove him home.

His house was in a new neighborhood close to my dads. The houses weren't as big as my dads and were smaller than Jack's, but made my apartment look like a box on the side of a road.

"This is me" he said showing me into a long driveway.

"Thanks babe" he said popping a kiss on my cheek.

"Excuse you" I said pushing him away from me.

"Oh so you like that" he said trying to actually kiss me this time.

"No perv I don't" I said laughing.

"Ok you'll be back" he said shutting the car door.

Then he walked up his porch and was sucked into his house. I pulled out of the driveway and started home.

When I got back to the apartment it was in shambles. My mom was sound asleep on the couch with some nasty looking dude. I shuttered thinking about what might have went on last night and got into the shower.

I chilled in my room all day with surprisingly no interruptions. My mom didn't bug me once. I went to bed actually feeling like a normal kid.

When I woke up Monday morning I finally realized I have school. I started with straightening my hair. It gives it a shiny touch. Then I did my mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, and powder. I decided to wear leggings, a baggier vans shirt, and my black vans. I grabbed my purse and went down to my car. My mom was no where to be found. She wasn't even in the apartment. I shrugged it off and went down to the garage to get my car. It was there in perfect shape. I started it and drove to school.

When I got there I walked in the school towards my locker. I opened it and started unloading things from my backpack. I was startled as a face popped up next to me.

"BLAH" It yelled.

It caused me to jump and I hit my head on the locker door.

"Owww what the hell" I said looking at the face.

It was jack

"Well hello to you too" he said closing my locker.

I walked the opposite direction from him and he followed.

"Why you so salty" he said chasing me.

"Jack it's too early to be all happy and hyper" I said walking towards my first class.

"Well sorry that I'm excited" he said.

"What are you so excited about" I said now interested.

"Well, after the party on Saturday I basically picked someone up" he said smirking

I was kind of baffled. Jack and I had so far liked each other and I didn't know he stopped. It hurt a little because I thought he was still interested.

"Oh. And uhhh who is that" I said.

"Madison? You know her right?" Jack said back.

"Oh yeah she's in my photography class" I said.

All I knew about Madison was that she was a slut who tried to see how many times she could get laid in one year. She was never really mean to me but I just didn't like her attitude.

"So do you like her?" He asked me.

"Madison? Ah well I don't really know her or anything" I said

"Oh well she's cool well have to hang with her sometime." He said.

I was really done talking to him so I said goodbye and went into my class.

At lunch I was sitting with Jack, my friend Sabrina, and my other friend Lavender. Sabrina and Lavender were basically the only friends I had that were girls. Shawn usually comes to lunch but today he left early. I secretly searched the lunch room for Matthew. Sure enough he came around the corner with an apple and a juicebox.

I was waiting to see where he would sit. I wondered where he would fall into social society. He looked over at me, looked both ways across the lunch room, and then came over and sat down right next to me.

"I'm sitting here" he simply said.

"Oh. Well I guess I can't say no then" I said taking a bite of my Oreo.

"Please don't socially humiliate me today" he said almost begging.

"I'm not that mean jeez" I said.

"Everyone has been giving me dirty looks all day just because I moved here from California." Matthew whined.

"Ok well Matthew. Colorado is going to turn into a mini California if any more of you guys move here." I said rolling my eyes.

"It's not my fault my parents were obsessed with the stunning mountains and whatever kind of lifestyle you guys have here" he said giving me all kinds off sass.

"Matthew..." I said trying to calm him down.

"The only good this about this place is that weed is legal, where's the joint stand in this place" he said. He continued to stand up and look around like he was actually going to find one in the high school cafeteria.

"Ok well first of all you have to be 21, and second of all they don't sell it in the damn lunch room stupid" I said.

He gave me a dirty look and sat back down.

I watched Matthew flounder all day after that and I do have to say I really enjoyed it. He seemed so lost and out of his world which ALWAYS has to be perfect when he wasn't high.

Wait. Why was I watching Matthew.

The last 3 years I've been paying attention to Jack.

Was Matthew changing me?
