Hidden ➳ [h.s]

14.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I groan as Courtney walks through the door and searches through the crowd. Her eyes land on me.

She prances over to where I'm sitting with Harry and Anthony, in the same fucking dress as me. She exact same dress. How? What are the chances that in the whole city of Perth, she manages to buy the same dress as me?

"Hey darlings" she says to us

"How the hell are you wearing the same dress as me?" I ask

And why isn't she as unhappy about it as I am?

"It's just fate" she says giving me her most smug grin

Fucking bitch, I hope you die.

"Hey baby" she coos to Harry

"Don't" Harry says shaking his head

"This is all to prove to you that I'm better than her. I will prove it to you" She says moving in closer to him.

I take one of the cups from Anthony's hand and drink the whole lot in one go to stop myself from throwing up due to the proximity between them. Harry pushes her away, she comes back even closer. It fucking pisses the hell out of me.

She finally gives up and walks to the mini bar in the next room.

"I hate her" I say to myself more than anyone. "If I'm going to win, I need to introduce myself to people. Anthony could you get me another of that strawberry flavoured drink" I say starting to feel the buzz of the alcohol

"It doesn't sound smart" Harry says

"I have to Harry. I don't want to lose to her"

He sighs in defeat. "Just be careful" he says

Anthony hands me the drink and I drink the whole cup again before setting it on the table.

"Do you want me to help you?" Anthony offers.

I nod. "Thank you"

"I'll introduce you to some people I know" he says taking my hand in his and leading me towards a group of people.

They're all sitting on some couches with drinks in their hands, laughing and dancing on each other's lap.

"Hey guys" Anthony say bumping fists with a few of the boys.

"Hey man, where have you been? It's been about a month since I last saw you at this place"

"I just wanted to introduce you guys to a friend of mine" he says pointing towards me

"Mia, nice to meet you all" I say in my most polite tone

"Friend did you say? Not girlfriend right?" One of the boys say

Anthony shakes his head. "Just friend"

"She's fucking hot. I'm Caleb" he says reaching out to shake my hand and I allow him.

"Christian, that dress fits you. And I mean really fits you"

"Are you a virgin Mia?"

"Do you have a boyfriend Mia?"

"Sit on my lap Mia"

They all talk at the same time, I can't focus on who's saying what.

"Who's that chick?" A guy behind me asks

"Mia Hayes" I give him my best smile

He returns it with a smirk and winks at me.

I turn back to Anthony as he leads me towards two girls.
