this past week flew by quickly and i'm thankful for that. i've tried my best to avoid explaining to travis what happened at the movies and in the bathroom. the last thing i want is for him to be mad at me because i talked to jack and not him.

"ready to go?" i shout to travis from the bathroom, referring to karina's bonfire tonight.

"i think i might just stay in tonight, baby." travis says and i pout.

"you never miss these kind of events."

"i know... but that jack guys makes me uncomfortable." he chuckles and i kiss his cheek.

"fine, i'll let it slide. make sure that if you are cheating on me, she's prettier than me." i joke.

"i would never cheat on you." he kisses me deeply on the lips.

when we pull away, i laugh at the little bit of lipstick stuck on his lips. i use my thumb to wipe it off.

"you would too cheat on me if someone really hot were in front of you." i tell him.

"what are you talking about? you're in front of me and i can't cheat on you with you." travis grins.

"cheesehead."

"i won't even deny that i am one." he winks.

i wave goodbye to him and head towards karina's place. i feel like all of us girls should just move in with asia. we'd save so much money. i get into my car and quickly drive to karina's.

everyone's car is here. this is the perfect time to arrive because the sun is just setting and the sky looks so breathtaking. i hope i have a good time. i don't want jack to bother me or even look at me.

"hey." jack smiles, as if he were waiting for me to show up.

"hi." i reply, walking past him and into the backyard.

he sighs, "kendall."

"where's trav?" naomi asks me.

"he's not coming." i shrug, walking past her too.

all of the chairs are set up in a half circle and i choose the middle one, like always. i ignore lizbeth who's on the end chair, waving jack towards her. he ignores her too and takes a seat next to me.

"great." i mumble to myself.

"why aren't you talking to me?" jack's eyebrows pull together.

"i am right now." i say.

"okay." he purses his lips and i watch as sam tries to start the fire up. "you cold?" he asks me.

it's a little chilly, but i'm not freezing. i shake my head no to him.

"you can take my hoodie if you want." he says to me.

"you can stop acting nice." i sigh, leaning back against the chair.

"i'm not acting. i actually want to talk. i want to be the boy you liked in the beginning and not the one you loathe." jack tells me. "you can stop acting like you hate me."

"who said i'm acting?" i raise my eyebrows.

he clenches his jaw, watching sam attempt to start the bonfire.

"i think lizbeth wants you over there." i point to the end.

"kendall, stop. i wasn't trying to lead her on. i wanted to make you jealous." he confirms.

i raise my eyebrows, "wow, good job, gilinsky." i sarcastically reward him and he clenches his jaw again.

i rub my hands together. this awkward air needs to be cleared and it would be so much better if travis was here with us. him and asia would be sitting next to me instead of jack.

johnson starts blaring music from speakers he brought. who would've know that he listens to kehlani. The Way begins to play and me and asia look at each other instantly.

"you so damn important. everything you do shows me you know it. behind it all you are the motive. don't tell you enough, but baby i'll show it, show it." she sings to me.

"he say he the king where he come from. take a young queen just to know one. so, baby, imma drive it like it's stolen, imma fix it like it's broken." i add, singing and laughing at the same time.

"you can sing, too?" sam stops what he's doing to look at me. "makes you even hotter. damn, jack's missing out." he shakes his head and resumes.

"it's not a bonfire without booze." karina exclaims, walking towards us with many bottles.

sam finally gets the fire going and i take the strawberry vodka from karina. i open the top and take a sip straight from the bottle. i stand from my seat, motioning for asia to dance with me near the fire.

"holy shit, i'm hard." i hear sam say.

"they dance like this all of the time at the club." naomi laughs.

johnson chimes in, "why is this so amusing to me?"

"baby boy you gotta be the dopest, gotta be the one to fuck with the coldest." i get a hold of the strings on jack's hoodie, dancing towards him with my bottle. "drink some."

i'm such a lightweight, this is terrible. after me drinking half of the bottle, i set it on karina's fake grass. i know that everyone is getting drunk tonight. johnson's music plays on shuffle.

i accidentally bumped into jack and he sits down on the chair. being the clumsy person i am, i fall in his lap.

"you are wild. i think that's enough. i don't think your boyfriend would like you too drunk." jack says, shifting me on his lap.

"boyfriend?" i ask, laughing. "i don't have a boyfriend. travis never asked me out."

jack's eyebrows raise at my words and he chuckles, taking another sip of vodka. i'm so fucked up right now.

"atta' boy." i slur, pinching his cheeks together. "come dance with me."

i stand up, feeling wobbly, but jack steadies me. everyone is grinding on each other and who needs to go to a club when you have these people? i sling my arms around jack's neck, grinding our lower halves together, making his eyes widen.

i feel him grow inside of his jeans and i know i'm doing a good job. i continue to do what i'm doing, not caring who's watching us right now.

"you over lizbeth any day, baby." jack raspy voice whispers into as he grips my hips tighter, stopping me from grinding on him.
