CHAPTER I

CLOVER'S POV

My cousin Tara has me going to a party right now, and I know Sam is going to kill us. But do we care? No!

We just want to move on with our lives after the whole Ghostface incident. We shouldn't have to live in fear or stay stuck in the past forever.

I still think about it, though, not gonna lie.

Anyway, Tara has me walking into the frat house looking like a bad bitch. Everyone and their mom is at this party.

Tara disappeared and started dancing while I was looking for a drink. I wanted to get fucked up tonight. I passed by Mindy and her girlfriend, Anika, and started chatting with them before grabbing a drink.

"Okay, Ms. Betty Boop, where's your Popeye the Sailor Man?" Mindy laughed. Anika laughed too and pointed to a corner where Chad and Ethan were hanging out.

"Go tell him how you feel!" Anika shouted over the loud music. I laughed at her comment.

Anika is funny for telling me to confess my feelings to Ethan. Oh please, best joke of the day goes to her. Ethan would never like me the way I like him.

"I need a drink!" I told the couple before disappearing.

I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a cup. I looked at the table to see if any of the bottles still had alcohol in them. Every bottle I picked up was empty, which made me sad.

"Who's trying to get fucked up drunk?" I laughed. I opened up a cabinet and found a bottle of Fireball. I took it and chugged half the bottle.

I pulled the bottle away from my lips and wiped my mouth. After putting the cap back on, I took the bottle with me to find my other friends.

As I walked away, someone grabbed my arm. It was Chad, standing in the doorway. "Hello, my lovely people," I said, smiling at Chad and Ethan.

I hugged Ethan before staring at his costume. "You must like what you're looking at, the way you're staring," Chad said to me.

"Well, his costume is cute and creative!" I yelled over the music.

Ethan blushed before glancing at a girl. I turned my head along with Chad. "Clover, help Ethan get out of his shell and talk to that girl over there," Chad pointed.

"Stop pointing, that's rude!" I told him.

Honestly, I didn't want to help Ethan because I wanted him to be staring at me. But if he doesn't like me, as long as he's happy, that's all that matters.

Did you really think I would say something like that? That boy is mine—he just needs to realize I'm the girl he wants, not the one he's staring at.

"What plan do you have?" Ethan laughed. His laugh was so cute. And that little smile of his...

"It's obvious you think that girl over there is hot. You're just too scared to go up to her and tell her. This is where Clover comes in!" Chad said, wrapping his arm around me.

"Okay, mission will be easy then," I fake-laughed. Honestly, I was just jealous he wasn't acting this way with me. "Hold my bottle!" I yelled over the music.

I walked over to the girl in the slutty Harry Potter costume. I could see why Ethan thought she was attractive. She really was.

"Hey, pretty!" I smiled at her.

She smiled back and asked what was up. "You see those two boys over there?" I asked, and she nodded. "The one on the right thinks you're really cute," I said, noticing her face fall with dissatisfaction.

Now I know she did not just try to play Ethan like that.

"You know what? I was trying to be nice, but you're not gonna sit here and waste my friend's time. He deserves a girl who's way better than you anyway. You're missing out," I said, rolling my eyes.

The slutty Harry Potter girl flipped me off, and I stuck mine up right back. "You're mad because Chad doesn't want to fuck you, huh?" I laughed, then walked away. She looked furious.

The boys stared at me in curiosity. "Now what did you do?" Chad asked.

"I told her Ethan thinks she's cute. After that, she looked dissatisfied, so I had to check her. I wasn't going to let her play Ethan like that. He deserves better!" I smiled at the puppy-eyed boy.

Ethan grinned at me while Chad laughed. "Oh, and she also flipped me off, so I told her you don't wanna fuck her and that's why she's mad," I added, smirking at Chad.

We all started taking shots from the bottle I had.

After about four shots, Anika came up behind us to talk to Chad. "Hey, big guy, we need you right now," she said. The way she said it reminded me of Black Widow talking to the Hulk.

Chad rolled his eyes before following Anika. I grabbed Ethan's hand.

"Let's go, pretty boy!"
