My head is fucking pounding right now from last nights action. I woke up in the morning with the worst hangover possible because it's the first time I was drunk. Jace gave me some Advil and told me I'll be okay and hoping that I will be, here I'm in the college sitting for my lecture where Mr. Keys is talking about why communication is necessary and I have no interest in communicating with anyone but still I'm listening to it.
"Do you know about the Ball?" Emily asks me, who is sitting next to me.
"No? What Ball?" I ask her.
What ballshit is this now, I mean bullshit. My college doesn't keep calm.
"I heard there is going to be a Yule Ball in the college and everyone has to be there. They will give the details later." She says gathering her strawberry blonde hair into a ponytail.
"Oh."

When the lecture is over I decide to go to the cafeteria to get myself a cup of coffee because my head is still paining. I haven't seen Dylan after yesterday night, after the kiss he was very chilled about it and it's not like I care but someone gave him a dare to make out with Sara and he did it and I don't know how I feel about. It must be my dislike towards Sara for sure and I don't even lik-"Oh shit" I spill my coffee on someone, "I'm so sorry, shit" I get my cup and look up at the person on whom I just dropped my coffee.
Austin stares back at me, his face emotionless, "I'm sorry" I apologise again.
"It's okay Piper" he says and chuckles, there is a coffee patch on his light blue shirt and it's clearly visible.
"Ya" I don't know what else to say. It is so awkward right now and I want the earth to swallow me. He is looking at me and I'm looking everywhere except him. 
He has a girlfriend.
My subconscious wakes up from her slumber and reminds me.
"Why did you leave early yesterday from the party?" He tries to make a conversation. I don't know if I want one.
"I don't know, I was pretty drunk last night." I state the obvious.
"Oh I could see that." He smirks.
What does he mean by that?
"You kissed Dylan so obviously you were drunk." He says and I don't know I have this strong urge to defend Dylan and for what? I don't know.
"So?" I say in my most bitchy voice and he just shakes his head.

"All the students please pay attention," a voice speaks from the speaker attached in the cafeteria and foyers "There is an annual ball in the college on Wednesday and everyone has to be there. All the students has to show up with a partner. Thank You."
What!!!!!!!! A partner. I'm totally not going to this stupid ball and I don't even have anyone to go with. I'll just be home with my book and Wednesday is day after and there is no way I'll find someone to go with.
I turn around to leave, "Piper, will you go to this Ball with me?" I freeze and look at Austin as if he's grown three heads. Austin just asked me to go to this ball with him. We did not speak for almost a month and now he suddenly just asks me to go on a ball with him and that to an annual one. "Why are you asking me? You can go with anyone you want." I say.
"That is what I'm doing." He fires back.
"Okay." I don't know what I'm okaying.
"So I'll pick you up at 6:30 Wednesday." He says and walks off.

What the fuck just happened! The guy for whom I still have feelings but we were not speaking for almost a month just asked me to go on a ball with him. My heart is in my mouth and I hate him for this. I get another cup of coffee and decide to walk home. Thinking about how yesterday I kissed Dylan and now I have this agreement of going on a ball with Austin.
My life is really messed up and I have no clue what to do with it.

I get home and change into a baggy tshirt. I make myself some mac and cheese and get myself settled on the couch. I put Harry Potter on DVD and I'm ready totally ready to not get disturbed.
15 minutes in the movie and there is a doorbell.
Ughhhhhhhh.
I open the door to see a guy with a pony standing in front of me wearing a black sweater and black sweat pants.
"Dylan you always have wrong timing" I scowl at him and he gulfs me into a teddy bear hug. I hug him back and sigh. I like his hugs. He enters the living room and directly grabs my bowl and takes a spoonful of mac and cheese.
"Wwhis is swooo sgoood" he says and I throw a pillow at him.
"Gross don't talk with food in your mouth." He laughs.
"Seriously, Harry Potter? Don't tell me you are a Pothead." He looks at me dead seriously.
"It's Potterhead and yes I'm a big one" I fold my hands and he fake shoots me, I fake die.
"But why were you not in college, I was looking for you" he asks me sitting down on the couch.
"I was, I just came"
"So I just came to tell you that you are going to the ball with me." He says and my head snaps up in his direction.
