Katherine's POV


It was Friday and I had just got home when my phone rang. It was Danny. I pressed answer. 'Hey Dan, what's up?'
'Hey K-bear, I was just calling to see if I could persuade you to come to the party. There's still time to get ready..'
'For the last time Daniel, no!' I said adamantly. 'And you can't make me either!'
'Oh c'mon, Joe's already bailed on us because he's got a pile of coursework to do.' He whined.
'Why am I not surprised?' I muttered. 'Look, I'm sorry, but I hate social events, you know this.'
'Okay, okay, I get it.' He sighed. 'Your still coming with us tomorrow?'
'Yeah of course Daniel.' Me, him, Joe and Nick were going to town tomorrow to hang out. 'Bye mate.'
'Bye K.'
I disconnected the call and went up to my bedroom.

Daniel's POV
2 hours later
I found Nick in the kitchen with an empty cup. He had army style trousers with a dark green​ t-shirt.
'Very original Nick!' I snorted. I had a Freddy Krueger costume on.
'Yeah well, costume ideas aren't my specialty.' He said. He didn't sound drunk at all but I'd seen him drink quite a few drinks in the last hour.
'What are you drinking?' I asked him.
'Hmm? Coke.'
'Nah man, coke is for pussies, live a little!' I got a can of beer from the fridge and handed it to him.

3 more hours later
Nick was now completely and utterly drunk off his ass.
'Haha, Haha, hey, Dan, what do you get if you swapped the first letters of our names?' He slurred. 'Naniel and Dick!' He burst out laughing.
'Nick, don't you think you should be heading back home now?' I advised him.
'G-good idea.' He agreed and staggered out.
'Wait, I'll drive you!' I offered.
'Nah, it's alright, I'll walk!' He called over his shoulder.

Joe's​ POV
I couldn't make any sense whatsoever of this equation. Despite the amount of energy drinks I'd drunk, my brain was still sleeping.
I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
I frowned and looked at the clock. It was nearly 10:00pm. Who the hell would come calling at this time?'
I cautiously opened the door.
Nick was leaning against the porch wall. He slowly turned to look at me. 'Hey Cotton Eyed Joe.' He chuckled.
'Nick, are you drunk?' I was surprised. Nerdy Nick, drunk?
'No, I'm not drunk!' He said indignantly. 'Can I come in dude or what?'
I moved aside to let him in and he stumbled into the hall.
'Guess what dude?' He slurred. 'Danny is so bloody funny. He slided down the stairs on a tray!!'
'Don't you mean slid?' I corrected him. But I was amused and irritated at the same time. Amused because I'd never seen Nick pissed before and irritated because Daniel was doing crazy stuff without me.
He collapsed on the sofa in the living room. 'Hey, what do you get when you swap the first letters of Nick and Joe? Jick and Noe!' He laughed. 'Or Nick and Katherine? Kick and Natherine. Hmm... Kick. I like it. Very sassy.'
'Uh huh.' I sat on the sofa opposite him.
'I like Katherine too. Do you Joe?'
'Yeah, she's my friend.' I rolled my eyes.
'No, as in like like. I like Katherine very much. She's beautiful.' He carried on.
I stared at him. 'You what?'
'Have you seen her? She's got beautiful blue eyes, like the sky. I like her a lot.'
'You're not going to remember this in the morning you know.' I said.
'I bet I will. I didn't know I liked her before, but I know now that I do. You never forget things like that.' He said. Then he passed out on the sofa and a few seconds later started snoring. I shook my head and got him a blanket then I went to bed.
