"Guess people crashed" I said as we pulled up to Ang's house. There was an empty spot in the driveway where I parked my car. Ang always made sure that no one would park in my spot. "I'm so fucking hype" Bri said, "Wait do you have a juul?" I asked. Ya know me, juuls are always my first priority. She pulled a rhinestoned juul out from her back pocket, "Who doesn't" She said practically running to the porch. "Slow down there kid" I said opening the door.

"Welcome to your first real high school party" I said as we walked inside. "So alcohol is in the coolers our back. Know your limits, don't get me in trouble" I said to Bri. "Oh let me introduce you to my friend" I proceeded to say as I grabbed her arm and pulled her over to Pony. I didn't even say hi to my friends yet, I just wanted to make sure Pony and Bri would be together.

"Ponyboy" I said tapping him on the shoulder. He was sitting with some of his friends around the round table just talking. He turned around and instantly locked eyes with Bri and they both just stared starstruck at eachother. I waved my hand in front of Pony's face, "Hey Pony, wake up, stop drooling" I said teasing him. "This is Brianna, she cousin" I said, she awkwardly waved at him and he awkwardly waved back. Freakin freshman... well I guess sophomores.

"Well I'm gonna go and get drunk, Ponyboy... stop being so weird and talk to her please" I said walking away. She pulled over a chair and sat next to him. I see it already, how cute. Wish I could find love.

I ran out to my car and got the drinks I put in my backpack, one for me and one for Bri. If I need more (which I will) I'll just grab it from the cooler. "Hey Bri catch" I said throwing her the can. She wasn't paying attention as usual, she was staring into Ponyboy's eyes the whole time. Luckily Johnny was because he caught it before it nailed her in the head. "Thanks Johnnycake" I said winking at him, "Anytime" he said sitting back down.

"Ang! Gina!" I yelled to them, they were in the kitchen. "Look who made it!" Ang attempted to yell back. She was high out of her mind so the words that were coming out of her mouth were barely english. They were with Dal, Two, Soda, Steve and some other guys from school. "Yup, I brought my cousin but she's too busy drooling over Ponyboy over there" I said directing their attention towards Ponyboy who was facing the opposite way.

"Aye Pony's finally got a girl!" Steve yelled. The rest of them followed by teasing him more. Ponyboy just turned around and gave us all the finger then proceeded to talk to Bri. Wonder what was so important that those two were talking about.

Ang and Gina were sitting on the counter and I was leaning up against the counter between the two of them. I was just looking down at my phone while scrolling through my vsco feed. I looked away from my phone, I was still looking down. Gina was kicking Dal's leg, was she flirting with Dallas? I looked up, shooting a dagger stare at Dallas. I don't know why that just bugged me a little that Gina was flirting with Dal and he wasn't doing anything about it.

Stella why the fuck do you care?

An hour went by, an hour of smoking, drinking, yelling and dancing. I genuinely loved getting drunk with my friends. Really there was no better feeling than letting loose, not giving a fuck, with your best friends.

"Hey Ang" I yelled over the music trying to get her attention. "What's up?" she said back as I weaved my way through the crowd to get to her. "Have you seen Dal?" I asked. I was lookin for that kid everywhere. Either I got really bad eyes or he's hiding somewhere. We always take this picture at parties when we get obliterated. I got on his shoulders and chug my alc while he's doing something stupid. I don't know it's just a tradition type thing. Reeeeel vsco goals am I right?

"Nah I haven't seen him since he walked off somewhere with Gina"... what. He walked off somewhere with Gina? If Gina was gonna hookup with Dal, this was gonna cause some issues. I just walked away trying to find them. I invited Gina to this party, yea I invited her, and she's gonna go off and hookup with my best friend. "Stella where are you going!" Ang yelled but I just ignored her.

I was fired up. Like actually fired up. My skin was hot. But why? Why was I so angry that Dal was probably grinding up against Gina right now? I don't fucking know. I was just mad about it. I didn't like Dal like that- I couldn't be crushing on Dal. He's my best friend, that's like not allowed.

I walked into the "pool room" which was basically a small room that had a pool table in it. The first person I see is none other than thee Mason Redd. "Hey Angelo, Ya look a little fired up" she said smirking placing his hand on my shoulder. "Not now Mase" I said shrugging my shoulders indicating for him to move his hand. I looked around the room and spotted Dal and Gina. I was right... well when am I ever wrong. Dal and Gina were hooking up in the corner of the room, barely being seen by the clouds of smoke and crowds of people. You could barely walk.

"no fucking way" I huffed under my breath. The only way I can explain my anger to you is as if I was the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes. Smoke could come out of my ears at that point. Why was I so fucking mad?

I thought for a hot second about how I could relive my anger, maybe get back at Gina...
or Dallas. a ha I had an idea.

I walked over to Mason grabbing him by the collar area of his hoodie and just started booking up with him. "woah, woah" he said breaking the kiss. "What got into you" he said with a smirk. "stop talking" I said breathing heavily pulling him back into the kiss. We leaned up against the pool table. No one was phased by this, happens all the time. Mason and I became secret hookup buddies, wasn't so secret anymore though.

It felt like hours of us just hooking up, I didn't mind. Mason was good. But the hookup was abruptly broken due to Mason being ripped away from me. "What the fuck" I said groggily opening my eyes. Low and behold, Mr. Dallas Winston came to the rescue.

"What the fuck Stella" Dal said pushing Mason out of his grip. He wasn't mad at Mason, but he was mad at me. Mason hit the wall causing a loud bang, which caused people to crowd around us. Mason wanted to fight Dal but he wasn't interested... but the entire party seemed interested in what was going on.

"What now Dallas!" I yelled back. My drunken mind was rambling with what to sentence to choose to say next. "Are you fucking stupid! I don't know if you can remember but five seconds ago you were all over Mason again after I told you to stay away from him!" What does he think he's my fucking dad or something. "Well I can say the same for you... just five seconds ago you were all over Gina!" I yelled back. Dal and I have never gotten in a fight like this. We were screaming.

"What does that have to do with this?" He said back. "It's the same exact fucking thing." I said, "Oh no it's not" he said. How the fuck would me hooking up with Mason be any different than Dallas hooking up with Gina. "Please enlighten me on how me hooking up with Mason is any different than you hooking up with Gina huh?" I said as my accent thickened. You could tell I was infuriated at this point. "You know why" he said flatly.

"Why do you care so much that I got with Gina anyways!"

"Because i'm fucking in love with you!"
