Night ⇒ l.h

Kissing

Me and Joey sat outside of the principals office, holding ice to our burns.

"I'm sorry bout that." He laughed.

"Don't worry about it." I returned his
smile.

I knew Joey from play school.

He used to wear his little boots and built sandcastles in the sandpit.

He was an innocent child, really.

As time went on, I started to notice that Joey would stare at me.

His big green eyes would dart away when I caught him.

When I started high school, Joey distanced himself from everyone.

He didn't really talk in class but during lunch, he'd completely disappear.

One day, I caught him under the bleachers.

Joey had his face hidden in his hoody cuffs but I could tell he was crying.

When he looked at me, I noticed that his eye was bruised and a cut on his arm was visible.

He'd told me to not tell anyone what I saw, because it was abuse.

His dad abused him and no one knew anything about it.

Tapping his foot lightly on the floor,
Joey slid into the seat right next to me.

"How have you been? I don't talk to you much."

He lifts the ice pack from his leg and examines the red, tight skin.

"Fine." I say shortly.

"You should come to the party tonight."

"What party?" I looked at Joey.

"It's at Mike's house." He grinned.

Mike was a senior like us and he was the school asshole pretty much.

"Yeah, I'll be there." I say.

That night, I dug through my closet and found appropriate clothes.

Skinny jeans and a dark grey shirt.

"You ready yet?" Calum complained from outside.

"Yup." I laced up my converse and followed him out to his car.

"Don't get too drunk tonight." He laughed, backing the car out the driveway.

"Maybe." I smirked.

At Mike's house, the car was already it full blow.

People were scattered everywhere, cups and music blasting.

It reminded me of the night Luke got so drunk he had to crash at mine.

"I'm gonna go get a drink."

I slowly made my way from Calum and bumped past the crowd to the drink table.

Suddenly, Calum bumped into me and grabbed my shoulders.

"Come on, we gotta go." He said, flushed.

"What?"

Calum gripped my shoulders and knocked the cup of of my hand.

"Zoe, hurry up."

Suddenly, his eyes darted behind me and my breath hitched, my stomach feeling sick.

Luke and Olivia were pressed against the wall, making out.

Luke had a beer in his hand, that was wrapped around her waist.

Olivia was wearing a slutty outfit and was basically all over Luke, running her hand through his hair.

"Now." Calum's lips grazed my eat and he tugged me out.
