How To Be Cool (Discontinued)

Chapter 8

Drunk people.

Lots and lots of them.

Every turn you take there are drunk people making out, or doing idiotic things which we know they would regret, or people dancing to the sick music which left me feeling nausseous just from listening to it.

One thing to confirm though is that Patrick Wildman is really, a wild man. No pun intended.

I don't know how he manage to throw something like this every weekend. This doesn't suprise me though as his brother, Sam Wildman threw something like this, if not even worse, during his days in Free Hill Manor. I guess the wildness runs in the family.

"Hey Nick! Glad you could come" Patrick patts Nick's shoulder. "I see you brought company. Who's the chick?" He says, raising his brows at me.

"Jade Miller." Nick puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. I feel a slight discomfort but decide to just go along with it.

Patrick widens his eyes. "No shit! As in Jade Invisible Miller? When did she became so hot? And without makeup too!" Oh so now they have a nickname for me? Jade Invisible Miller. How pathetic.

Nick could feel me tensing up at the nickname Patrick gave me so he starts muttering she has always been hot so slow I think I was the only one who heard it.

"Well thanks for the compliment though I do not appreciate the whole Jade Invisible Miller bullshit" I finally speak up, tired of them two having a conversation as if I'm not there.

"Oh so you can talk" Patrick replies. A slight smirk forms on his face.

"I have a mouth so yeah"

"Why not you and I get a few booze and get to know each other a little better? I'm sure Nick don't mind." Patrick says in which Nick replies with a whisper in my ear. I do. The warm tickling breath made me giggle. Like yeah the full on girly giggle. Kill me now.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'd like to share my first party experience with Nick. Now if you'll excuse us." Oh boy did that come out wrong.

Patrick laughs. "Okay I get it. You're welcome to use any room upstairs though the room with a black door is out of bounds"

"Cheers man" Nick interupts wearing a wide grin on his face. He and Patrick shares a bro handshake. After saying our goodbyes, Nick walks me off to the drink counter.

"Here" Nick hands me a drink.

I decide not to take it. I mean, what if he puts drugs in it or something? Besides, I'm not ready to taste alcohol yet. Maybe if I stare at it long enough, he'd understand and take the drink away from me. And so I did. Stare at it, that is.

"If you think by staring at it long enough, I'll take this away from you? Nah not a chance." What is he? A mind reader? He gestures for me to take it and continues, "It's not alcohol by the way. Mine is. Yours is fanta"

"Fine" I take the drink from him and finishes it with one go. Don't blame me, I am thirsty. "Thanks"

"Um Jade, if you don't want to get hurt, don't look behind"

And of course, being the stubborn little idiot I was, naturally I ignore his order."What are yo-" I let the sentence hang. That's when I see it. Ryan. And Eilsa. Lips on each others, practically eating the other one's up. Ryan's hands go on her back all the way down to her arse and grabs it. Causing Eilsa to pull away from the kiss a bit and chuckle. Then they kiss again. This time, her hands tug on his hair and I decide to look away. Tears swell on my eyelids.
