Chapter 4

A mass of bodies flooded my house with music booming through the speakers. People were dressed up from just simple face paints to full costumes. Last week I was doubting whether the party would happen or not, but now those worries were gone.

The majority of the crowd was in the living room making it uncomfortably hot with the amount of sweaty bodies. I had to push myself through in order to refill my drink and almost lost clothes in the process. I managed to get to the kitchen taking no time to grab a redbull. 

Moments later Michael arrived placing various types of alcohol on the counter. I was still sober and desperately needed to change that so I chugged the rest of my redbull and took a beer.

"Where's Calum?" Michael called over the music.

"He said he was on his way and that he had a date."

"Dude is that Crystal Pagan?" he gestured behind me.

My body spun around so quickly I almost lost my balance. There was no mistaking the jet black hair that was approaching us. Crystal. She was every guy's dream girl and was getting closer and closer by the second.

"Hey Ash." she smiled rubbing a hand down my arm.

"Hey Crystal, didn't think you were coming."

"There's no way I'm missing a party especially if it's thrown by you." she whispered the last part into my ear slightly turning me on.

But the attention was short lived because she quickly walked over to Michael completely ignoring the thought of personal space, which of course he didn't mind.

Crystal was hot but she was the definition of a whore. I've slept with her more than once and god knows I would do it again. But outside the bedroom she was as boring as could be which is why I generally avoided her.

A sudden uproar came from the living room and I knew Calum had arrived. He walked in with an arm around who I assumed was his date. It was hard to tell who it was because her face was covered in makeup and I was already on my second beer.

"Hey dickhead." Kori's voice spoke breaking me out of my sudden haze.

Of all the people Calum could bring as his date he chose her. Then again the plan was to invite her in the first place.

"How much did Cal have to pay you to be his date?"

She laughed lightly, "He's doing my homework for a week."

"Hey no one is suppose to know about that!" he cut in.

"Shut it Hood. Why don't you get us some drinks." she suggested

He nodded in response and proceeded to grab beverages, bringing back two cups full of spiked punch.

"Well let's get this party started!" he cheered making his way to the dance floor.

I followed behind him moving my body slightly to the beat. No more stress, tonight is all about having fun.

I stumbled to the couch needing to rest my aching feet. Another round of shots was being passed around but I still needed to get down the last one I had.

Unlike everybody else I wasn't completely wasted even though my mind was a little cloudy. Luke disappeared a while ago even though I'm pretty sure he was with some ginger who he was flirting with all night.

Calum and Luke were playing spoons in the dining room and they looked like they could pass out any second. I wiped the sweat off my forehead laying eyes on Kori who was sitting off by herself.
