Weakness

25. "You noticed"

LIA

"What's up babe?" Joseph says once I enter my third class of the day. Can this day get any more weird?

"Hi." I respond, not giving him that much attention as I used to back when I used to like him.

"I miss talking to you almost everyday," He tells me.

"Yeah.. me too," I lie. Well not really, I mean I just don't think about him so It's not like I miss him or even think about him?

"Are you coming to my party tonight?" He questions.

"I don't think so. I may do something else." I tell him.

"You should come, It's going to be sick. Besides, your friends told me that they'll be there." He says.

"Yeah I'm just not sure yet but I don't think I'll be able to make it.." I tell him in hopes that he'll stop asking.

"Oh that's alright but if you're free then stop by and come find me, we can talk and catch up or whatever." He says.

"I'll keep that in mind." I reply.

I'm now in lunch sitting right beside Justin because I decided to sit next to him to clear some things up.

"Are you still mad?" I ask him.

"I was never mad." He says, looking the opposite direction of me.

"You were and you still are." I say.

"I was just irritated alright? can I just stay alone for a second damn." He snaps.

I roll my eyes and stand up from the lunch table to sit somewhere else because I won't be sitting here if he's going to act like this.

"Lia hold up!" Callie says as she runs up to me to catch up to where I'm currently standing.

"He's such an asshole." I say once she's standing in front of me.

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just... I don't know, I guess this shows that he cares."

"I'd rather him not care then." I sigh.

I'm currently home deciding on what to do tonight. I can either go out with Chris or go out to that party...

In all honesty, I'm kind of leading towards the idea of the party more. I know I said I wouldn't go but my friends will be there and Justin is still mad I guess so this should be more interesting. Besides, shouldn't he be glad that I won't be hanging out with Chris after all?

I decide that the party is where I'm going to. I tell my mom that I'm going out and I pick out an outfit. I pick out a wine bodycon red dress to wear that has cut-outs on the sides along with black heels. Now I'm ready.

"Here, drink this." Joseph says, handing me a drink.

"What is it?" I ask him although I know it's most likely something with alcohol.

"Don't worry about it, it's good trust me." He responds and I don't ask him anything else. I take a sip of the drink. It tastes a bit strange at first but as I continue to taste it, I get accustomed to the taste.

Three... or probably more drinks later and I'm still not having that much fun.

I trip on something or rather someone's leg as I hear their voice speak. "Woah." The awfully familiar voice says.

JUSTIN

"Amelia how much have you drank?" I question as soon as I find her. I was not expecting to see her here but now that I have, I would have rather her not come because she could have gotten into trouble if someone else would have found her this drunk instead of me.
