Molded-his first

[8] Whatever you do, DON'T CRY

I knock on the door and Andrés is revealed on the other side once he opens it.

"Carter." He greets me with a smirk on his face.

"Martinez." I greet him too.

"Ladies." He greets he says inviting us in with his left arm.

We all walk past him I turn to look at Ashley who has a frown on her face.

"Why does he talk to you like that and not say a word to me?" She mumbles. "I want what y'all have."

"Girl we don't even talk like that and he's only teasing me because he's friends with my brother." I shrug.

Ashley pouts before interlocking her elbow with mine "You're probably right," she assures herself.

"There's my girl," I say pinching her nose now come on let's go for a swim.

We make our way to the back where most teenagers are. Blue LED lights flash inside the pool letting us be able to see the floor of it. Music is blasting some people are dancing and some are in the pool.

It's beautiful.

Ashley and I find a pool chair and put our stuff on it.

I take off my oversized shirt revealing my one-piece and keep my low-rise jeans on.

I don't think I like the idea of this many people seeing most of my ass.

My hair is put in a half-up half-down hairstyle.

I sit at the end of the pool chair. "I'm gonna go get a drink you want one?" Ashley suggests. I'm good I say hissing remembering what happened the last time I had a drink.

"Ok, I'm coming back." Ashley smiles at me.

I watch her walk away until she disappears then go back to looking at people conversing and dancing to the music.

"I don't remember inviting you here." I look up to see Andrés who is handing me a cup.

"Yeah and I'm kinda offended that you didn't," I frown crossing my arms. He goes down to sit next to me and smirks.

"Why are you here don't you have someone to give herpes to or something?" I shifting from him.

He scooches closer to me. "You're more interesting" he admits.

"That oddly reminds me." Andrés raises his eyebrows to listen to me.

"You wanna finally admit your undying love for me?" He grins causing me to hit him on his shoulder.

He winces causing me to smile. "My friend Ashley kinda has a crush on you," I inform him. Instead of jumping for joy like I would have if I were in his position, he frowns.

He then gets up and goes over to talk to some blonde girl.

Ok, rude.

"I'm back," Ashley announces sitting in the spot Andrés was sitting in just now.

"Let's do something fun," Ashley says before grabbing my hand and leading me inside the house. We go down to the basement where at least two dozen people are.

There are lots of games people are playing but I frown when I realize most of them are drinking games. "Zola?" I turn to see Santino smiling at me. "You look beautiful," he complements me causing me to blush.

"Thank you." I blush.

"Zola let's go play pool," Ashley says pulling me away from Santino.

"What was that for?" I frown.

"Make him want more," Ashley giggles.

We make it over to the pool table, and I spot Katherine and a boy who I assume is her boyfriend making out.

Ashley and I fix the balls in a triangle to start playing.

"Hey you look beautiful can I have your number?" A random white boy who popped out of nowhere asked.

"Sure it's zero, seve-"

"Not you." The boy cuts Ashley off "Her" he says turning to me.

What the.

"Me?" I say confused.

"Yes, you." He confirms.

"Oh sorry I don't have a phone," I shrug knowing very well my phone is in my front pocket.

The boy looks disappointed and walks off.

I turn my head to look at Ashley who is gone. So I turn to see if Katherine is still there to see both her and her boyfriend are gone.

"Why did you lie to him?" I turned around to see the boy Katherine was speaking to. He places both of his hands on the pool table while I'm between them.

"I didn't." I lie.

A chuckle escapes his lips and the next thing I know he's getting closer to me. I didn't even know that was possible.

He leans into my ear and whispers "Don't you want me."

"Ummmm," I shriek uncomfortably.

Suddenly he untraps me and holds onto his cheek.

"Don't touch her!" Andrés yells.

Next thing I know the two boys are rolling on the ground as I watch in horror.

People start swarming like a bunch of bees around them screaming the word 'fight'.

My feet are glued to the ground not being able to move. Suddenly someone grabs my arm and leads me upstairs. I can only see their blonde hair so I'm not sure who it is.

They led me into a bathroom then turned to me and revealed me to be Katherine.

A sigh of relief escapes my lips at the fact it isn't a stranger but it's soon wiped off when she starts talking.

"Who do you think you are?" Katherine starts yelling.

I frown. "What?"

Katherine takes her pointer finger and starts repeatedly poking my chest with it until I move back into a wall. "What just because you lost some weight you think you're the shit?" She spat.

I simply just look at her causing her to get more mad.

"You will never be pretty or beautiful, let alone prettier than me!" She informs me. "You will always be that fat pig that will never get anyone to like them!"

"So stay away from my boyfriend stay away from Ashley's man and most definitely stay away from me." She spat. "The sight of you makes me wanna barf, ok piggy" she smiles.

"You will always be the big black girl who will never get a boyfriend. You hear me." She starts shouting in my ear. "You will never amount to anything in life," she whispers. "So carry on with your role in making us look better and know your place. " She spat before pushing me out of the way to leave the bathroom.

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

I need to see Ashley right now.

I walk out of the bathroom and walk back to the basement to see if she went back but she isn't there, oddly no one is. "Ashley?" I call out. I go back upstairs and start opening doors. "Ashley?" Call after opening each door.

I opened almost every door on this floor but the one on the far end. I walk to it and I'm about to open it when I hear Ashley's voice. "I'm so much better than her right?" She speaks. Relief fills me before I open the door. That relief quickly evaporates when I see the scene in front of me.

Is my heart still beating?
