"I have never wanted to suffocate someone more." Octavia groaned, leaning her forehead against the window of Mia's car. The duo were on route to the campus after Octavia received a text from Michael informing her of their movie night plans and that Ashton was planning to invite Mia. The redhead girl then informed her best friend she was with said girl and they would just come to his dorm together rather than have Ashton make an unnecessary phone call after Mia had already begun her drive in the opposite direction.

"Baby you wanna suffocate him every time he breathes." Mia shook her head as she let a laugh escape her mouth whilst taking the right hand turn next to her. "Straw." She pursed her lips as Via brought up the cup from the cup holder up for her best friend to drink from whilst driving.

After leaving the coffee shop - Octavia's favourite spot now ruined by the demon who approached her - Mia offered to give the redhead a drive back, in hopes she could pop her head round the door to see Ashton. Then the text from Michael came through and suddenly the girls stumbled into the Starbucks drive thru and the long way back to the campus.

"I just." Via began before cutting herself short with a groan and throwing her head backwards, pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. "I swear to my lord and saviour eyeliner if he turns up at this peaceful evening I will not hesitate to throw a chair in his face." The girl pouted watching her brunette best friend pull into the designated parking area on campus and pulling the keys out of the ignition.

The girl turned to face Octavia, an amused smile tugging at her lips as she opened her door. "Well, let's go and not throw chairs at people." Mia watched Octavia roll her eyes and shrugged her shoulders in response, stepping out the car and throwing the door shut. The redhead doing the same as the two made their way across the site and up the stairs to Michael and Ashton's room.

"Via!" The redhead boy cheered as he threw the door open to be greeted with the sight of his scowling best friend. "Oh you look so happy today." He threw his arms around her, catching eyes with Mia and mouthing a small 'what the fuck' - to which was returned with a 'Calum' and the boy nodded his head in understanding.

"You're hilarious Mike, anyone ever tell you that?" Via pulled away from the hug, dropping her jaw in mock shock. "Ever thought of taking up comedy." Her face fell back into a deadpan as she rolled her eyes and walked passed him to the couch where a head of blonde hair was residing comfortably.

"What did he do this time?" Michael quickly turned to Mia who was still waiting outside of the room after the pair of them had watched Octavia jump onto the couch like everything was fine.

The brunette blew air out her lips letting out a sigh as she readjusted the bag on her shoulder - which also held her friends items - "he spilled his coffee on her, then came over and started saying stuff about how Luke knew she wasn't worth it etcetera." Michael let out a sigh.

Everyone knew when it came to Octavia, not much was a touchy subject. The girl didn't mind the innuendos or the mocking. What she did mind was people who spoke about her family, her friends and the incident with Calum when they first met.

And for not just anyone but Calum himself, to bring up her friendship was Luke - Michael knew that would put her in the worst mood imaginable. Because now she would sit there overthinking everything she said to Luke and everything he would say back, even if she didn't show it.

"Would you let my girlfriend inside please Michael?" Ashton shouted from his own couch having been watching the entire exchange at his dorm door and also listening to the gossip - or trying to - being shared by the duo sat opposite him.

Mia chuckled, politely moving herself passed the redhead boy in a friendly manner before squealing as she ran up to her boyfriend and embracing him in a cuddle.

"I'm gonna gag." Octavia scowled (jokingly) as she turned to look at Luke with an extremely exaggerated throwing up look on her face, making the boy laugh as he hid his head in her shoulder.

"All right!" Michael cheered as he slammed the door shut. "What are we watching - I am throwing out my vote for a Harry Potter Marathon. Via if i hear one scary movie leave your mouth I'm gonna-" the boy was cut off as he tripped over his own foot on his walk to the couch and went flying forwards. Luckily he put his hands out to catch him as he nearly went straight into the coffee table.

Unfortunately he did now have a large graze on his knee from the carpet but at least another hospital trip wasn't in order. The remaining four burst out laughing. Mia and Ashton stifling their laughs into their hands and each-other whereas Octavia and Luke had absolutely no shame and threw their heads back loudly, enjoying the grumbles of annoyance that left Michaels mouth at their amusement.

"Yeah yeah laugh it up fuckheads." He scowled falling down next to Octavia and lying his legs across hers and the blonde boy's she was sat with laps. "Just for that I'm getting movie pick and I'm choosing something that's actually entertaining." Michael then looked at Octavia. "Not the fucking purge at three in the morning on Halloween."

"You're a psychopath." Ashton gasped, running his fingers through Mia's hair with his left hand, his right resting on her thigh. Octavia simply shrugged with a small smile on her face. It was incredibly amusing watching all her friends hiding under blankets and jumping at the doorbell going off randomly - when actually the redhead had planned it all out to happen in an attempt at a Halloween prank. It just ended up that she so happened not to tell them it was a prank when the evening was over because of how scared they were.

"Hey, is cal comi-" Via was quick to place her hands over Luke's mouth before the words could leave his lips. She proceeded to hush him before over enthusiastically shaking her head with an obnoxiously fake smile plastered on. "Nuh uh." She grinned. "I am having a peaceful evening. I am going to enjoy myself and i-"

The sound of the door opening caught everyone's attention, a very familiar face walking in so nonchalant that you would think he was walking into a room with his immediate family.

"And I am opening the fucking vodka." Octavia mumbled, a deep frown forming on her face as she drew her eyebrows in and pursed her lips. A harsh huff leaving her lips as she pushed Michael's legs off of her lap and the propelled herself upwards using Luke's thigh for support.

"When I collapse from alcohol poisoning in twenty minutes I am begging you leave me there to die." Octavia stared at Mia dramatically, placing her hands in front of her in a pleading motion before spinning on her heel and beginning her walk to the kitchen.

As she passed his smug, smug face, Calum opened his mouth to say something but was immediately cut off as Octavia let the word 'drown' slip from her mouth pointed in his direction before completely ignoring him on her trek for the vodka.

I am gonna need a lot of this. She thought to herself, letting out a deep sigh as she unscrewed the lid. Preparing herself for what most likely would once again become an unbearable evening.
