"Hey, Hayes!" I call out to him as soon as my eyes spot the blue eyed boy.

"Dino, what's good." He says before putting his hand out to fist bump me, which only earns him a glare.

"Um, Mike from your football team invited me to the get together on Saturday." I murmur, nervously rocking back and forth on my feet.

"Oh, I don't think that's a good idea." He looks up at me with worry and sorrow in his eyes. Why isn't it a good idea? I mean, nothing will happen right?

"What, why not?" I ask, raising my voice slighting.

"Because Dino, it's not just a get together, it's a huge party with alcohol and probably drugs, you shouldn't be around them type of people." He whispers, as if he's pleading me not to go.

"Oh, I get it. You can go but I can't? Well, I'm gonna go anyway and that's that." I give him the fakest smile before walking away, i silently hope he follows me but to my surprise, he doesn't.

*Skip to Saturday*

"Hey Hayes" I smile, opening the front door. He apologised for the other day and realised it was stupid for him to not let me go, so we decided we would go together.

"Wow, you look great" he says whilst eyeing my outfit, I was wearing simple black high wasted shorts with a black crop top that comes off my shoulders and a pink sleeveless long coat thing (I have no clue how to describe it). I was also just wearing all black converse, nothing too special.

"Thanks" I blush, looking at everything but his eyes.

He cleared his throat before speaking "uh- we should erm, go now. Yeah, we should go now. I'm still not happy that you're going but you're stubborn as hell and there's nothing I can do about it but I gues-" I quickly cut him off.

"Hayes stop rambling, now let's go and have fun! You need to relax it'll be fine." I smile before calling out bye to Krissy and walking out the door, Hayes following suit.

We're a block from the house and I could already hear the music blaring, I'm surprised the cops haven't been called already.

"It's not too late to turn back now and have Netflix and chill" Hayes says, before realising what he just asked.

"Hayes! Inappropriate, and I'm not going anywhere but that party, so stop trying to talk me out of it." I giggle.

Out of the corner of my eye I see him shake his head and here a quiet "You're gonna regret this" escape his lips but I ignore it and carry on down the road.

As soon as we reach the house the music is unbearably loud and the smell of alcohol fills my nose, all 5 of my senses are going crazy.

"Still not too late to back out"

"Shut up." I state and walk into the house.

I gulp and walk into the kitchen, which is the emptiest room. I see Hayes in the distance talking to some of his football friends, including Mike.

I walk over there with confidence and stand next to Hayes, all eyes are instantly on me.

"Dino! Glad you made it, how you enjoying the party?" Mike asks whilst draping his arm around my shoulder.

"Good, I mean we only just got here but so far good." I smile. He nods at me and then they carry on their conversation. I look over at Hayes, his plump lips are in a straight line and his jaw is clenched. I remember that Mikes arm is draped over my shoulder and quickly move it, which he doesn't seem to mind.

I look back at Hayes and see that his face has calmed down a bit.

"I'm gonna get a drink" I whisper to him, he nods before following me into the kitchen.

I poor some of the punch that's on the table into a red cup and bring it to my lips, only to have it quickly removed.

"What the heck?" I ask Hayes who is now holding my drink.

"You are not drinking that, do you know how strong this is !" I says, pouring the content of the cup back into the bowl.

" stop trying to parent me, I can handle myself" I say before pouring another cup and drinking it all in under 10 seconds, Hayes stares wide eyes.

I smirk before going to dance, this isn't too bad. I don't know why Hayes was so worried.
