Veronica's POV

When we arrived at the party, there were already bunch of people at my age who was drunk. Many couples were making out as if they are the only in here. The music is loud. The house was filled of smokes of cigarettes and weeds.

Ashton and I walk to a small room upstairs where Calum told us to come. The small room was occupied by a large couch in center with a round table on front of it where the vodkas and some chips are placed.

"Hey!" Ashton shouted to the people sitting on the couch. They look at us. Calum immediately stand up and approach me with a hug.

"You're late Veron." He whisper on my ears and slightly squeezed my bum. I giggled.

"Blame Ashton not me, pervert!" I laughed. "Did I missed something here?"

"No. There are just some strippers that made a show a while ago." Calum smiled. He was fond of this strippers all along. "There's someone I want you to meet. Come."

Ashton was already sitted beside a blonde girl who named Gemma? I can't remember. Next to her is Michael who was drinking with a dirty blonde and blue-eyed guy. I haven't seen him here lately, I think he is a new here. 

Calum lead me to the guy. "Luke, this is Veronica. Veron, this is Luke Hemmings, my cousin from Australia." He introduced.

"Too casual." Luke smiled and turned to me. "Hi, nice to meet you." He has a lip piercing that suited him.

"Same." I answered. "Are you serious that this guy is your cousin? You two don't look the same.. I mean you don't have any common features." I look at Calum and back to Luke.

"It's a long story Veronica." Calum chuckled. "You better get some drink. I'll go get downstairs to check if everyone was okay. Suit yourself." He walk away.

"Want some vodka?" Luke offered me a red cup with a liquor in it.

"Yeah sure. Thanks." He handed me the cup and I sit down beside him. I crossed my legs. It just that, if someone was on front of me, he will definitely see my panties.

"Is Dad at home?" Michael ask me. I take a sip of the vodka before answering.

"I don't know actually. I'm not yet gotten home since this morning. I'm at Ashton's." I explained. He just nodded and continue to drink.

"So you and Ashton are dating huh?" Luke turned to face me. No emotions on his beautiful face. Wait what? Did I just said this Lukey guy is beautiful? I can't believe it.

"No, no, no. We aren't." I laughed at the thought that me and Ashton were dating. We are just like bestfriends but most like fuck buddies.

"Oh." He sip some of his drink. I waited for him to continue. He look at me again, now with a smirk on his beautiful face. Oh Veronica! Stop it. "So you guys are one of those who just-"

"Yeah yeah yeah! You don't have to say it." I snapped. I don't want to talk about my life. "So you. Why are you here?" I ask to change the subject and I'm just curious.

And the night was spend talking and listening to Luke. He told me that he is here because his aunt who is Calum's mother offered him to go to college. He also asked me about my life but I always ended up dodging his questions about me because I don't want anyone to know about my lame past. No one knows about it except my mother, James and Michael, of course.

We just ended our conversation because Ashton threw a game which is Truth or Dare. All of us enjoyed it. And when its my turn, I always choose Dare. I kissed a nerd guy because Calum demanded it. Smoke weeds. Drunk a one cup beer. And many more.
