I IGNORED RIDDLE'S STARE as I sat down next to Z, removing my headphones. I couldn't tell if he was surprised, angry or just zoned out but I decided not to question it. I looked across the table.

"Boiled potatoes and fucking chicken with salt?" I asked. "I'm white but this is just too white. I want like Mexican food, that's what I'm craving," I huffed. Z beamed at me, happy to see that I wasn't pale and hunched over. I'm a great actress. I ignored the potatoes and reached for the chicken, hoping there was at least some type of spice on the table, I'd even settle for barbecue sauce. I bag an eating and I could still feel the stare of Riddle, making me shift in my seat uncomfortably.

Suddenly, and thankfully, everybody's phone went off at once, summoning us to our phones to open the notification. Of course it had to be Malfoy's fucking gossip account. I rolled my eyes and put my phone face down before I could even read what he said. "Another party?" Mason grinned. I bunched my brows together as I stabbed my chicken aggressively with the fork. I had grown a hatred for parties. Probably because I'm very sure Warren had put something in my drink that made me really drunk which caused me to hook up with the my friend who was no longer sitting with us. I grew uneasy in my stomach and quite sad that I lost one of my greatest friends because of a teenage boy who had nothing better to do. "I expect you all to be there," Mason continued, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"I'm not going," I said plainly, not making eye contact with anyone.

"You don't have to drink," Theo offered. That wasn't the problem. I didn't know who was going to be there and I definitely wasn't ready to be surrounded by a bunch of people.

"It's okay," I sighed, searching for an excuse. "I... I probably have a lot of work to catch up on. Y'know. Since I was sick." God I hope that sounded at least a little bit like the truth. I avoided Riddle's and Z's eyes at all times.

"Who the fuck would want to do homework instead of going to a party?" Blaise asked as if I was dumb. "No, I refuse. I'm dragging you if that's what it takes." I felt the corners of my mouth twitch upward slightly. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
