Chapter 3

     So there I was, talking with the guy that made me nervious the most and made my heart skip a beat, but I was handling it well, acting like he was just a cousin to me. He was so damn attractive, I was trying not to look like a total retard staring at him, I had to put my shit together  and stay focused on the conversation.

    "So you girls have something planned for tonight?" Alex asked as he passed his arm over Marie's shoulder and smiling at her, Marie looked stupid as well smiling back at him.

    "Actually, yes" I said. I didn't want them to think that I didn't have a life. I mean, I'm supposed to look deserable, and fun and what not. The One that got away. "We're heading to a party later, we're only staying a while to meet with the family and congratulate you guys for doing well. I heard the first year is a little hard since you're barely getting used to the new envirement" I wanted to look mature as well, the damned whole pakage if I could.

    "Agh, yes. I hated it. I hope the second year is better. Not for this guy, though" he said as he gave Rick a playful punch, who seemed rather quiet and staring at me. "He's a smart ass" Alex laughed.

    Rick gave a small smile at the compliment and rolled his eyes embarrassed. He didn't stayed quiet long, though "If you actually payed attention to the classes then they wouldn't be so damn hard, you idiot... Anyways" now asking Marie and me, but looking straight at me, "this party you're going...?" he seemed interested.

    "Oh yeah! It'll be awesome!" Marie decided that moment to finally get out of her dream world and speak, too bad that bitch had a plan of her own . "You guys should come!" Marie suggested with an ear to ear smile.

    The invitation caught me by surprise, but I knew what she was up to, so apparently she was as surprised when my precious elbow met her evil little self. I didn't want him to come!! I'm supposed to not care about him and treat him like he didn't matter, not invite him to parties and spend time with him. Plus, I hate parties, I just agreed to go because of the situation, besides Marie practically begged me to come, since her grandma doesn't trust her by herself; she's the one who loves parties. Now I had to act like I was a fucking party diva. Great.

     Marie just kept laughing. She KNEW this would happen. And the bitch was enjoying it! Sometimes I really hated her.

      "Alright, yeah" Alex replied with a big smile. "You're going bro?" he asked Rick.

      "I- HEEY GUYS!" Rick got cut off by a very femenine manly voice . "OMG! Alex! I... I... I... Fuck." he then droped the gay crap and used his normal manly voice "I can't even try to be gayshly happy to see you... I mean, it's cool that my older brother came back to visit, but I don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal about it..." the guy said with a boring tone.

     "Dylan!! Don't say that, you're being rude" Marie said punching his arm.

      Here we go... That? Is Dylan. He was my very attractive and openly gay cousin; well at least open to us he is. That was a secret between us cousins, but we supported him. Even though he is gay, he is very manly and very nice; except when he chooses to become the 'Drama Queen beneath him', as we call it. It's really all just an act, but we -speacially him- use it as a joke. We all think it's really stupid when people think that gay guys should be such pussies, or believed on stereo-types.

     He was my favorite cousin. Yes! I do have favoritism. Fuck it! He was always there for me and loves to mock me, a lot; and I hate that, but that is what family's for, right?

     "Well geez! I am very happy to see you too, bitch!" he said sarcastictly, giving a special diva tone to the last word. "Give me a hug! I haven't seen you in like, forever!"

     "Dude, we go to school together and it just ended last week" I said matter-of-factly.

     "Yeah! A very horribly lonely, fucking boring week! That's the longest I haven't seen you. It sucks not having people to talk to. All alone at that lonely, big and scary house... Sometimes I wonder why I don't make the coolest parties..." he said suddently daydreaming.

     "Talking about parties, Rick! You're in or out?" Alex asked.

     "Wait, what? There's a party? And you guys didn't invite me? And how come I don't even know about this party anyways? I'm more popular than both of you two together" Dylan said dissapointed.

     "Yeah, a friend from school is having a house party, it's for seniors only" I replied to Dylan -ignoring his stupid comment about popularity-, but looking directly at Marie with a winning smile.

     "Yeah, but we can invite whoever we want!! Soo... Rick decide already!" pushed Marie.

     "I don't know, I don't really feel like being around kids..."

    Oh, so he think I'm just a kid....
