Millie had got pissed at me for wearing jeans and a t-shirt to this party, but at this point I was pretty thankful I didn't wear something tiny. It was 1am, and the party had descended into a drunken game of Spin the Bottle, with those not participating passed out over a chair or sneaking upstairs with someone. I was bored to the point of wishing I was drunk, but it was looking like Millie was definitely going to need her designated driver and I couldn't let her down.

I sat perched on a bar stool, no longer fazed by the fact I stuck out like a sore thumb in my jeans and Led Zeppelin shirt, sneakered feet swinging aimlessly as I watched Millie climb on top of a pretty girl and giggle drunkenly as she slipped sideways off her lap.

"You look a lot less drunk that everyone else here."

A hazel eyed guy about my age has sat down on the stool next to me.

"So do you."

He cracks a smile

"I'm Ashton"

"Maya"

"You know, I'm normally a lot more intoxicated when I try to talk to girls, but I heard you chatting to your friend over there earlier-"

I raised my eyebrows

"Eavesdropping, huh?"

"No! Fuck that sounded really creepy. No, I mean I heard you talking and you're Australian and I'm Australian and I was curious...Jesus now I get why I do this when I'm drunk"

"You're doing fine, don't worry. Where you from?"

"Sydney"

"Me too! What brought you to LA?"

"Work, I'm in a band..."
