just a nobody. // G.D

part 3 // eva+gray

*eva's POV*
after what feels like forever, zoey finally pulls into the driveway and parks a little to the side, due to the other parked cars of the people already inside partying. we both grab our phones and our purses, and push open the car doors. zoey locks the car behind us, and we began walking in the darkness of night, until we reach the door to the lake house.

i assume their parents are out of town, because i don't think they have ever done something like this before. or maybe they have, but i just wasn't invited.

we ring the doorbell. an unfamiliar guy with tousled black hair and a red solo cup opens the door and drapes his arm around it.
he was clearly drunk, and his words were slurred when he tried to "greet" us.

*grayson's POV*
people just keep on filling the house until i feel as though it's hard to breathe. every corner of the house you turn, there are two people making out. every step you take, you end up crushing an empty cup.

parties just aren't my thing.
i attempt to make conversations with people, but it's just too hard when everyone around you is completely consumed of alcohol.
i make my way over to a table where some snacks have been laid out, and i just eat some chips while i observe the people here.
it's quite pathetic actually.

i never have, and i never will understand the purpose for drinking. it's pointless. if your life is consumed of struggles, work through it. don't resort to such a negative thing like alcohol.
that's why i avoid it.

i slowly walk to the staircase which is across from the front door. my plan is to try and greet people, and engage in conversation before they begin drinking. that way my time at this party, won't be a complete waste.

i'm struggling to make it to the stairs because of all the people standing in the living room. i carefully push past them to get through. there's no point in asking them to move because they are too invested in their conversations, so i just let them be.

*eva's POV*
zoey and i gently push past the obnoxious guy standing in the doorway, and walk in.
that's when i see him.

*grayson's POV*
i sit down on the stairs and pull out my phone to wait for the next guest to arrive and also so that i don't look like a complete loner. some guys open the door for two people. looks like girls.
that's when i see her.
