Who Knew: A Michael Clifford Fanfic

chapter 2

"Sorry man, but I needed a chasser for this shot when I was 18, I'm glad to say at 22 that I don't need that shit." I say. As the rest of the people came down the stairs we were all in a heated conversation on what alcohol is best. I was standing on the side of the island that faced the stairs, with Kelsey right next to me. Once I see michael walking down the stairs I hit Kelsey insisting to have us walk around the corner of the granite table top island. As we move I want to feel inconspicuous, not letting michael know I am excited to see him, after all we just met today. "Hey, you guys made it, when did you get here?" He asked grabbing a beer from the fridge. Kelsey nudged me so I would answer. "About twenty minutes ago." I am already feeling the effects of the drink. It was a nice tipsy feeling, I was instantly more confident around him. "Dude you should have seen it, Mikaila kicked back a full to the brim shot of the vodka thats in there. No chasser no nothing." Calum bragged. Smiling I bowed a little and say "well it wasn't that easy, it did have a burn but I can handle it, after all I am a woman." He looks at me and says "I hate that stuff, I can never drink that again, it has a horrible taste." He opens his beer and stands next to me. "Is there a story behind that?" I ask. Everyone is laughing and chanting "tell!" "Alright, I was at a party a few years ago and I was told that it wasn't that bad, It was horrible I took one shot and when I was on the the next I spit it out and hit this guy in the face who then hit me in the face with his fist." Everyone including myself is laughing so hard. "No way!" Key says. "It couldn't be worse than the first Halloween we spent at college." She adds quickly. I snap my head around and say "really these are new people they don't need to know that." I say giving her the look that'll kill. "Oh come on and tell" one of the girls say. "Okay, but remember this was my first Halloween in a small town and drinking like that, please don't judge me." They all promise and the story is told.

"So wait you flashed the pizza guy, slapped a guy in the face three times and almost assaulted a police officer?" Leonard asked. I put my head down, "it was a mistake but I don't regret it." "That is so bad ass." Mary-ella added. "Okay what's everyone else's drunk horror stories?" I ask. Jeremy did come, Leonard fell off a balcony, mary-ella and the other girl went streaking and got arrested while the other boys all had the same experience as michael.

"Alright, let's get something to eat" Jeremy said. I was starving.

The walk was quick, only about ten minutes, Kelsey was up walking with Jeremy Calum and the girl whose name I can't ever fucking remember. I was walking with mary-ella and Leonard. While the rest of the people were behind us. As we got to Peties we were seated right away, the place was closed besides a young couple who look as if they are on a date and sitting in the back corner. I sat next to Jeremy and Luke while michael sat across from me, Kelsey to his right and everyone else around us. The night went fast, everyone was talking and enjoying the food. By the time we finished eating it had taken two hours from start to finish. Michael and I paid first and started walking outside, not waiting for the rest of them knowing it was going to take forever to leave. As we started to walk back I looked up at the sky. "You know space is one of my favourite things." I say. "Look there's the big dipper." I point and Michael looks up. "When I was younger I used to wish on the first star I saw each night." I inform him. "What did you wish for?" I look at him and say, "do you really want to know?" He smiles and reassures me. "Yeah I want to know." "Well I used to wish to be a mermaid." He bursts out laughing. "Hey! The little mermaid is my favorite disney movie. What did you wish for?" I ask "I never really made wishes on stars, if I did wish it would be something like I wish I was a Superhero".

The walk was slow and the others were no where to be found, Michael and I are walking in everyway except a straight line and end up hitting each other every couple of seconds. As we are getting closer to the house I feel our hands graze each other. He is so fricken cute. As we enter the house we are the first ones there and plop on the couch. "Do you want to watch tv?" He asks and grabs the remote. "Yeah whatever's fine." As he flips through the channels he decides on house. After about ten minutes I fell asleep. The next thing I know I hear some people come in and Michael shush them. "We have a girl asleep over hear." I try and not smile doing my best to pretend not to be awake. "Ooooooo michael someone's got an admirer." One of the guys say. "No, we just sat down and watched some tv no big deal, she fell asleep. It's not like that, trust me, she isn't my type." I heard enough. That pissed me off. Oh okay I guess not, I guess I'm not good enough. After I hear that I do fall back asleep for about half an hour, waking up to laying on Michael's side.
