Bullied- a Jenzie story

The party that ruined her life- 07

Mackenzie's POV

Lauren. Lauren showed up. When Lauren got there she barely noticed me. She talked to Nadia more than anyone else, so John talked to me. Nadia was upstairs helping Lauren get ready, she told me she didn't want me to come because she wanted it to be a surprise. 

"Mack Z?"

"What do you want John?" I said in an annoyed voice because I felt like Nadia and Lauren were trying to ignore me

"Why are you crying?" he asked

wait, I'm crying? Wth. and surely enough when I actually snap into reality I see there are tears coming out of my eyes.

"Oh, umm. Allergies?" I say it more of a question than an answer. I mentally face-palm.

"Kenz, I don't think people actually have tears streaming down their face when they have allergies." 

I keep mentally face-palming.. why am I so awkward?

"But it's just a wild guess." he says in a sarcastic voice

"I just don't want to lose Lauren, she is so close to me and I acted like a total bitch around her. She didn't deserve it. Anyone in their right mind knows she doesn't deserve it."

"She'll forgive you, Mackenzie." Johnny says in a soothing voice as he rubs my back. It sends shivers down my spine. I look up and see his face is right next to mine. His eyes meet mine and flicker down to my lips. It must've been a good 10 seconds before I backed away. I know Johnny is just another heart breaker and he is my best friends boyfriend, I'd be a total slut to do anything like that. He cleared his throat after I backed away. It made the whole atmosphere tense.

Thank god Nadia and Lauren came down, I was about to hop out a window because it was so awkward.

"TA-DA!" Nadia is speaking like she just pulled off the biggest magic trick of all time.

"Thanks Nadia." Lauren said as she hugged Nadia.

I was like fourth wheeling. Nobody liked me.. maybe I'll have to get used to it.

"okay, we get it. You all look good, now can we please just get ready for the party and have real fun?" Johnny asked. He was definitely getting annoyed by all this 'girl talk'.

After some games and getting set up for the party, people started coming through the door. By the time I knew it, so many people were there. There were a lot of kids drinking, some getting high and some just chilling out. I was none of those, I was sitting on a bench outside... alone and with just the silence. It was calming, I haven't said hello to anyone, no body. I guess I have been getting bad anxiety being around people, I'm starting to think that everybody hates me. For literally the 100th time, I was zoned back into reality when someone started to speak.

"Hey Mackenzie" said a male's voice

I looked up and saw a guy I wouldn't expect to see, it was Hayden Summerall. 

"Oh, Umm, Hi Hayden." 

"Do you think there is room for me on the bench?" he asked

he looked really good right now, like almost as hot as Johnny. I started to blush as he looked at me.

"Yep, there is a spot right next to me." I say

He sits down, there is a pretty big gap between us.

"So, I know this is probably weird but I just was outside and then I saw you." he says

"Oh, okay." why the hell am I being so damn awkward.

"And I've never really talked to you, I wanted to get to know you better. I'm one of Johnny's best friends. I know you guys are really close."
