Mira:

"I need you to give us a ride back home when she wakes up, Thomas."

"No way, I have exams to study for. My parents are threatening to send me back home."

"What?! Are you kidding me? How are we gonna get to the dorms at 5 in the morning?!"

"Take the bus, I don't care."

"You're such an asśhole."

"Never claimed I wasn't."

I woke up to the sounds of their bickering, my head was throbbing and it felt like I was sleeping on a rock, I slowly lifted my head and put my hand under it, supporting it so it doesn't make my body fall backwards. I open my eyes and groan, My eyes blink a few times to adjust to the red blinding lights and my nose just kind of closes off from the smell of smoke and puke; not the best combination. In front of me, Thomas and Mia stare at my face, their eyes lingering on my left cheek, I immediately suspect that someone has drawn something on it. I open my mouth to speak, but feel that it's dry.

"Can you guys get me some water?" I rasp, my voice doesn't even sound like me, it sounds dark and scratchy.

Thomas and Mia glance at eachother before she stands up, muttering a 'sure' and starts walking towards the kitchen. I turn to look at Thomas, who is now for no apparent reason smirking at me. He takes a swig from the beer bottle he has in his hand, probably his millionth beer since this party started, A wet rug is placed in my palm, I rub my cheek roughly and look at Thomas, who gives me a thumbs up to reassure that the stain is gone.

I scan the room for anything remotely interesting but just like any other party; nothing, Everyone in the room are either intoxicated seniors or just some freshmen who plain out don't know what to do since their roommates ditched them to go get high and let some senior dudes get what they want. The usual party plan that everyone has drilled for all the 'hot' freshmen girls, and as planned, it always works.

A few minutes later, Mia returns with an open cap bottle of water, she hands it to me and drops two pills in my hands.

"Advil, for the headache." She says, glancing at the pills in my palm ,I take a swig and pop the pills in my mouth, swallowing them down fast with more water, I sigh in content and hand her the bottle back.

The party is as loud as ever, shitty music blaring out of the speakers in an ear piercing volume, no one seems to mind though; all they care about is getting drunk and laid as usual, despite the sun being outside, everyone are dancing and laughing like they weren't gonna miss their morning classes and wake up with the worst hangover,I sigh, From the corner of my eye i see Thomas stand up and wipe his hands on his jeans, eyes following a brunette across the room, I knew he would bail on us the moment we walked in this house, but I didn't say anything, being a part of this fraternity comes with its advantages, one being he doesn't have to drive all the way to the dorms drunk and practically unconscious with the risk of being caught by the police, which would result in his parents to stop paying for his tuition, and eventually he would have to move back to his home town and live with his parents again, which trust me isn't the best choice to make.

"Well girls, I'm sorry to say this but you're on your own. That girl over there is looking for me." Thomas says, eyes never leaving the pretty brunette in the short white dress.

I glare at him, secretly hoping the girl would turn him down and slap him so hard, he would faint but ofcourse that's not the case.

"Yeah but i'm not sure that girl would like to see your dïck, Grey." I say, my voice light, I don't really mind him ditching us, he's done it before a million times, I just like to piss him off , plus it's a known fact that all college friends are asshöles anyway.

"Hey, it's my job to get you here, not to drive you back, I'm not your mommy. Find someone else to do that, plus it is hard enough to get you in these parties without some dick from Jake's not bothering me so be more grateful." I look away, ofcourse he would bring up that destined night, why wouldn't he really? I did jam my knee into the crotch of the most popular slash dick face guy in the entire college, who is my ex prićk of a boyfriend.

"You can't deny that it was pretty sick, he deserved it for being an ass. Anyway, we should get back to the dorms now, I have to kill this hangover and take care of my essays. I think my professors are cussing me out in their heads." I say, getting of of the rock couch that I was laid on after i supposedly fainted, I look down at my feet to see that they are bare, I raise my eyebrows, confused, I look up to Mia and gesture to my feet.

"Where the hell are my shoes?" I ask, arms crossed in front my my chest, She giggles and points to the left side of the couch, where my shoes are safely put beside eachother. I huff and grab my shoes, quickly putting them on and grabbing my jacket to prepare for the cold weather outside, Mia does the same, only she already had her shoes on and I will never get to know why they thought it was a good idea to take off my shoes, someone could've kicked them away or thought that it would be a good idea to pour beer in them, just for the fun of it. That's how creative college students are. I try to look for Thomas, but with failure, i turn around and pass Mia to get to the front door, dancing bodies bumped into me, couples making out are practically in every corner and it wasn't a pretty sight to see, I was approximately two feet away from the door before someone's hard chest bumped into me, making me fall backwards and almost fall on my back, fortunately Mia was behind me so she caught my tumbling body before I crashed on the ground.

My brown eyes look up to the person who bumped into me, he stares back, no guilt or sorry anywhere near his features, and I recognize him, and I wish I hadn't.

"Mira Anderson, never thought I'd say that name again." He says, slightly chuckling. I hadn't seen him since high school. He looks better than ever now, his brown hair is now dyed to a white color, brilliant looking might I add. He adorns a black sweater and black jeans which are slightly faded. He sees me eyeing him and laughs. I avert my eyes.

"What are you doing here? This isn't your type of scene, don't you think?" I accuse, my eyebrows lifting slightly, Kevin only shrugs, mouth tilting in a sick smirk.

"I thought i heard about you getting in a college near here actually, Congratulations." He is so teasing me right now.

"Whatever reason you are here for, it better not have anything to do with me, Kevin." I stare at him, and when he stays smirking, i grab Mia's hand, push past him and walk to the door while trying not to think about his response,

"oh but it has everything to do with you."
