Deception Or Exception

2. the party

𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝,
The strong smell of alcohol hit my face as soon as we entered the door and the sight of drunk and wasted teenagers repelled everywhere.

Mindy & Anika made their way to the alcohol section leaving me alone 'Of course..' i say to myself standing alone awkwardly.

I walk past people bumping into them and made my way to the kitchen. Grabbing some cranberry juice in a cup & sipping it, i stared around everyone and spaced out.

A few minutes passed by and i spotted Mindy & Anika getting too comfortable on the couch which made me NOT go up to them 'Damn it' i say to myself.

'Hey' i turn around and see a kid from my Econ class 'hey y/n right?' i fake a smile & say 'mhm' taking no interest whatsoever in this conversation.

The guy kept talking making convo until i spotted Chad, finally someone else that i know.

'Oh yeah uh-huh.. yeah sorry i have to go, my friend has been waiting for me but great chatting with you' i say as i walk past him 'but-' i hear him say but left ASAP i really don't like socializing with people.

Chad & his new roomie 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐲
Ethan was Chad's new best-friend you could say, only talked to the guy once or twice i think.

𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙥 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 𝙖𝙜𝙤,
i got an 𝐨𝐟𝐟 vibe with that Landry guy.

I go frequently to go visit Chad to either study (mostly hang out) & forget about his little roommate. 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧

Ethan was the dorky & nerdy best-friend which is why Chad liked him. Couldn't find interest in the guy, all he does is study sticking his head in books all day reminding me of Alex Dunphy. Which is not bad but him rooming with my popular jock best-friend Chad, who's outgoing & could've possible slightly changed him by now surely did.

There are times where he's glaring at me for periods of time & me glaring at him back with wide open eyes asking him 'What's your problem?' or 'Do you need something?' his responses are either silence or his all time favorite word '𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲'.

Don't know if those glares are full with 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐝 or being it something else, either way i could handle him.

"Cheers, man, to the dynamic duo " Chad said to Ethan. They shot their glasses up gulping the strong alcohol down his throat, Ethan found an agitated taste toward the drink before spitting it out.

'𝐘/𝐍.' Chad yelled as i walked towards them.

Me and Chad do our signature handshake that we created when we were in middle school while Ethan just stared at us do it.

'Hey Chad' i say smiling 'Ethan.' i look at him blankly and then back to Chad 'It looks like you aren't having the time of your life right now there sister' Chad says taking another shot in his cowboy accent.

'I was forced by your kindly sister & her lovely girlfriend' I said 'ahh makes sense, but cmon now take a shot with me' he says

'No i'm good trust me' i say backing up with his alcoholic breath.

'What are you supposed to be?' I hear a familiar voice i forgot was next to us.

'The real question is what are 𝐲𝐨𝐮 supposed to be laundry bin?' I said raising my eye brow

Ethan looking shocked at what i just said, opened his mouth to say something when Anika approached us.

'You're needed cowboy' She comes & tells chad while they leave me & Ethan standing.

'You were about to say something hm?' I said

'Looks like you tried something different with your make up.. maybe don't try it again' He said grinning.

I was about to say something when we hear people creating a crowd & having a feeling it was about someone i associate with, as always.

I shot him a glare before running off beside Anika & Mindy 'What happened?' I asked

But before any of them could answer i see Sam approach the scene and tase some college guy in the balls.. 'Don't ever lay hands on my sister' She said to the guy in agonizing pain.

'You fucking bitch!' He yelled

My eyes widened but smiled due to Sam always having a good reason to defend her loved ones
knowing he probably deserved it.

Tara came from the crowd & acknowledged her sister 'Sam! Are you fucking kidding me? You're stalking me now?' She yells stating the obvious.

A guy yelled out from the crowd. 'Holy shit, it's that psycho girl'. People started taking out their phones and whispering about Sam.

I looked around about to say something but saw Tara storm out & we all followed her out.

Tara shook her head in frustration. 'What are you doing here, Sam? In New York? You're working two shitty jobs to pay rent. Whatever, but what's your plan? I know what I'm going to do! Okay? Because I'm going to keep going to college, I'm going to get my degree, and I'm going to live my life!'

There was a moment of silence while the two sisters argued.

'My life. Okay, I know. You just followed me here!' Tara said, 'And you won't let me out of your sight!'

'I'm just trying to look out for you' Sam justified

'I know. I know you are, but you can't do it for the rest of my life. You have to let me go' Tara justified back.

The argument soon settled down until some random girl approached us & targeted Sam. 'Hey!' She yelled throwing a drink at her, drenching her shirt. The girl's friends were recording the whole scene while yelling 'Murderer!'

Sam lunged at her pushing her shoulders. 'What the fuck is wrong with you bitch?!' She yelled as Chad held her back.

I however went towards the phone and smashed it straight to the pavement floor 'Fuck you!' i yelled and i was about to throw a round 2 when someone grabbed my waist pulling me back from the scene. Strong hands.

'Hey calm down now don't go all Krueger on us' I hear Ethan's voice behind me as i pushed him off 'Get your hands off me cardboard head.' i say wiping my shirt back straight up.

'Geez someone is on her-' He said 'On her what?' i cut him off saying.

'Okay we just ended like 2 wars around here we can't deal with another one' Anika says grabbing my arm as we walk away from the chaos that just happened.

'Would you give the kid a break' Anika says

'Me?' i scoff 'Never'
