LILAC (Fred Weasley)

Chapter 50

„Dear Diary,

I have the headache of a century and I was the cause. I don't want to leave my bed and just want to rot away in piece.

Yesterday I met with Guzman and his friends, after his work shift ended. Funnily enough, Guz still wore his waiter uniform, so we made him get the drinks for us. He wasn't as amused as the rest of us.

The evening was nice, I felt like normal teenage girl for once, who breaks some rules, gets a bit tipsy with other and older teenagers and who crashes beer pong. Who could have guessed, I am a natural?

Guzman has a big friend group and I am sure, he doesn't know the whole name of everyone. He was always like that. He had a charming aura, people loved that and immediately got drawn to him. I guess that has to run in the family, since I can't really complain. I know some of his friends, since he was little, so it was nice seeing them again yesterday. However, there were also some new faces. Most of them were alright, except for one. He may have overstepped his boundaries once or twice. I was glad Brandon, Guzmans best friend was there. (Because my fool of a brother had already lost all consciousness)

I watch them carry my brother over to the couch that stays in the corner of our basement. With a loud thud his body hits the leather material. He looks dead. I hope he feels dead tomorrow. I now have to deal with all these people by my own. Great. Just great.

„Jade, your turn!" Linda shouts over the noise, holding up a little white ball.

I grab it, focus on the opponent's side of the table. „Which one would you like to drink boys?" I stare at Gabe and Richard.

Gabe grabs his bracelets around his wrists and plays with them, laughing at my statement. Richard pushes his long blonde hair out of the way, he sways a bit.

„Sweetheart, you are not as good as you think you are", he slurs. „If you don't hit that one, then lets say you have to drink it."

„Deal", I say. I stare at the cup he just pointed at. I angle my hand and throw. I hit is perfectly. I crack a smile.

„Fuck yes, drink up you fools!" Linda breaks into a little dance.

„It's highly unfair that you have an advantage on your side Linda!" Dean shouts, shaking grinningly his head.

„Oh shut up you little baby. You didn't want her on your team before anyways!" She high fives me.

We watch the boys down the content of the cup, grimacing. Richard points to another cup, watching me daringly. I hit it again. Then the other one.

„You get on my nerves", he mumbles, downing its contents, beer dripping down his chin.

„Hey there." Suddenly a boy with dark tousled hair appears next to me. „Didn't know Guz had such a skilled sister.?"

„Well you lack some adjectives before sister, because I clearly haven't heard awesome in there yet," I throw and hit the next cup, giving the boys another winning smirk. „But yes, seeing how Guz is, its hard to believe that I am from the same family."

The boy laughs, raising his cup to his lips, drinking slowly. His eyes never leaving my side.

„How old are you?"

„Fifteen, why?"

„So Guz is only three years older?"

„Yes. Why does that matter?"

„I was just curious. Haven't seen you before." The boy leans against the beer pong table, I have to scoot a tad to the side.

„Jade, throw another one." Linda poked me into the shoulder.
