I wove my way through the endless hallways filled with exited teenagers. The bell had sounded three minuets ago and already students were crowding the lockers throwing out papers and tests. Two holidays are something to get exited about. No more homework. No more tests or assignments. No more waking up early.
My thoughts were interrupted by a girl. She stood three feet away and flipped her dark hair behind her back. "Jasper" she purred. A shiver went down. "Hailey, hi" I say. "If I can remember you owe me something," she winked. "and what would that something be?" I sigh. Obviously I was drunk when I promised her. She's hot yeah but not my type. She stepped closer so our faces were only half an inch apart. She leaned in and whisperd into my ear. "Katy Walsh is having a party tonight, and I need a date." She murmerd. Her sweet smelling sent washed over me. "That all? Well sure." I say.
I was bracing myself for something else.
She smiled and stalked off her hips swishing. I rolled my eyes and turned around. "Ugh bro, what she want?" Jay said coming up behind me and bit his lip. "A date to the party tonight." I answer simply. "You didn't accept, tho right?" He said frowning. I stopped suddenly. We had reached the end of the corridor just before the exit to the oval. "Of course I did, she's hot man. What do you think I would say?" It was my turn to frown.
"Well you know... I thought, cleo an you were, hitting it off. And she'll be upset.. If she sees you." He trailed off.
"Who cares? There's nothing going on between us for God sake! Why does everyone keep saying that?" I Seethe.
"Mate she likes you."
"She dose not. And I couldn't care less. I'm going with Haley and that's that!" I say storming off.
What is it with people these days?I walked into the cool air outside. The oval was covered in jocks as they ran up and down the field. I was late.
"Owens!" Coach called from the stands.
"I'm sorry coach, had extra touring this Arvo." I say.
"All good son, we are just warming down, your free to go." He said dismissively waving a hand. I nod once and step back into the crowded hallways. A hand claps down on my shoulder. "Heya, jas" the voice sounded. It was Jay. "What do you want?" I snap. "Calm down okay. Seriously you can't take everything out on me." He says. "Watch me!""You've gone too far!" He says.
"I don't like freeking cleo!" I yell.
"Yeah whatever, go find stupid Haley to yell at!" With that Jay strode off meeting Cora halfway down the hall. She latched her fingers in his and hugged him tightly.I turned and kicked the locker close to me. "And what had this locker done to deserve you kicking, mr Owens?" A voice comes from behind me I turn to stare at cleo. "What do you want" I mumble. "Just wanna say hi!" She says frowning. "Are you okay?"
"Of course your here right now! I'm fine!" I roll my eyes. "Hey? What's got your knickers in the knot?" She asks leaning her head to the side. "Nothing!" I growl. She walks up and places a hand on my shoulder. "Get off me!" I snap. She steps back and I see the hurt in her eyes. "Jasper what is wrong with you?" She says. "Nothing, you know what go away I don't like you, go hang out with Flynn seemed you two are getting comfy."
"What?" She says. "You herd me. Go away!" I yell. "What the hell! What have I done for you to hate me?" She quizzes sniffing. Her words hit me. I don't hate her.
You love her idiot!"I don't hate you..." I start, what can I say to fix this?
"Well you could've fooled me." Her words stab me in the heart. I watch her face crumple and walk away. Her hair falling to her side.

I walked towards the girls bathroom tears running down my cheeks. I push open the door, and collapsed into Coras arms. She knew that I would be there as I sent her a text before. She walks me to the window seat at the end of the bathroom. She rocks me back and forth. "You don't know how many girls walked in here and were hugged by me." She laughs lightly. She told me of her plan of hugging me as soon as I walked in. The only flaw being she didn't know who it's was when the door opend. "I bet they all think I'm wierd but!" She said. I sniffed
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked socket. I shook my head. "Okay let's get you fixed up and then we have a party to get too!" She squealed. I moaned in protest. "No parties please!" I beg.
"Nice try, but we are going!" She fixed my hair and washed my face. Then smile on her lips dragged me out the bathroom."Hey babe!' Jay says coming up behind Cora and placing a kiss on her cheek. She smiled adoringly at him. I pretended to be sick. "I'm with you cleo." Flynn said coming up next to me. I smile. "Are you coming to the party tonight?" He asks. "I would but billy..." I start. "Alice is staying home with her." He finished. "Well sure I'll come." "Great."
We drove out the school gates. Flynn was giving me a lift home seeing as he was staying at our house. We pull up to see Jasper getting out his car. Flynn climbed out and walked over. I followed. "Hey Jasper what's up?" He said. Jasper looked from Flynn to me and scowled. "Seriously?" He hissed. "What?" Flynn asked.
"I would say I'm happy for you but I'm not."
"What are you going on about Jasper?"
"You and cleo. I hope you used protection." With that Jasper walked away.
"Jasper! Wait! It's not like that!" I shout after him.
He stopped and turned his head ever so slightly.
"It's not? I thought you were smarter than that cleo, guess I was wrong."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask.
"He's a player!" Jasper snapped. "And your not?" I accuse. "Whatever have funny playing with each other I'm done!" Jasper walked into his house and slammed the door. "Jas...." Flynn started. I pulled my hands up to my head. "What the fuck." I sate. Flynn sighs and follows me inside."Cleo hurry up, I wanna get there before christmas!" Flynn calls. "Shit!" I curse. I pulled one my black leather jeans and black heels. My white billowing shirt was a little see through but I pulled my mums jock styled jacket one. It was red and I applied some red lipstick and mascara. My straightened blond hair flowed down my back and I grabbed my phone.
I climbed down the stairs. "I'm ready!" I call. Flynn waits at the bottem. "Damn Cleo you look sexy." He smirks. I punch him lightly. "You flirt. Come on let's go, I bet Cora will be waiting."
Alice waves us away from the front door. "Don't drink too much! Be home by 1." She warns. I smile at her and blow her a kiss.
Then we were off.We sped down the road and across the small high way that converted into streets. "Cleo, why are you shaking?" Flynn asked. I looked down only to realize he was right, I was shaking. "Just a tad nervous." I admitted. "Of what?"
"I've never been to a party before!" I said sheepishly. "What?" He says raising his eyebrows."I mean, like I've been to parties but not like THEESE sort!" I point out as we pull up. "Just act casually and flirty and you'll be fun. Come on cleo loosen up." Flynn says before jumping out. I reluctantly followed. The front door was covered I. Streamers and inside was covered in uv lights. The music blasted through the speakers. I jumped at the sound. "I'm just gonna go say hi to...." Jasper said but I dint catch the end. He walked off leaving me standing in the hallway, looking like an odd one out.
A guy with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up and stood next to me. "You want a drink madam?" He asked. "Ah no thanks!" I say stepping forward slightly. "Come on princess just a glass." He said grabbing my arm. I shook him off. "She said no!" A voice came from the hall exit. Cora and Jay stood five meters away. "Oi sorry mate." They guy said before walking away. "Cleo!" Cora said rushing over to me. "I'm so glad you came.!" She said. I nodded in jays direction. "Come on," she led me to the kitchen where the music dulled and people stood mingling and drinking. I grabbed a can of lemonade but cora stopped me. "Cleo, Hun live a little." She said handing me a cup that they have in movies. "What is this?" I ask eyeing it. "I dunno!" Cora said taking a sip of hers and throwing her hands up.
She waddled over to Jay and smacked him playfully. "Hey, there you are come on some guys and I are going to play a game in the attic." Jay said. Cora beckoned for me to follow her.
We trudged up the stairs along with a numerous of others. I picked out Flynn ahead of us and he offed me a broad smile. We sat down in the dark dusty attic. Someone placed a bottle in the middle. "Anyone fancy going first?" A guy with glasses asked. A boy with a built bod and dark sleek hair raised his hand and smirked. "I not chicken. But ah I ask what is this game?" The boy with glasses wiggled his eyebrows. "Seven minuets in heaven." People exchanged knowing glances, some gulped and other squirmed. "You must spin the bottle to decide your partner and then step in side the closet with that person. You then can do anything you want for seven minutes. But it must be heaven." He smirked.
The guy who raised his hands placed them back down. "Let the games begin!" The nerd cried smirking.
