Him ; Bastille

Friends Only ; 16

Wednesday night was honestly the worst thing ever. But I feel like that might become an overstatement after tonight.

Tonight some of Kitty's mates are coming over for this one big 'friends only' sleepover thing. I'm not sure what it is to be honest, I'm pretty sure Kitty doesn't either. It sounds like her mates invited themselves over to take advantage of the apartment and her wealth — they seem like the type of lot to do that to her without any guilt or remorse — which is exactly why I hate all of her so called 'mates'. But Kitty is too nice to notice that they're using her. She's too sweet to tell them to do one.

"Where are you going?!" Kitty shouts as she literally jumps over the sofa looking fucking demonic. For the past day she's been hoovering and polishing like a mad person. I point to my room and smile, "I'm going to have a early one." It's barely six in the evening. What's probably going to happen is that I'm going to be awake all night listening to the latest university gossip and getting jealous of the continuous clinking wine glasses.

"No you're not!" Kitty sternly says as she points to the kitchen area. "You're going to order pizza." I told her this morning that I don't really want to be around the type of people she hangs out with. They aren't...nice. Especially those bitches...

"But-" before so can remind her of exactly what I said she looks at me almost desperately. "I'm doing this for you, Dan." Me? What does she mean she's doing this for me? "I told you before, I don't want to date anyone. Especially no one at Atlas!" Kitty shakes her head vigorously whilst I cringe — I mean I want to date Kitty. She's at Atlas. That's what I want but she's something I'll never be able to get.

It's fucking bullshit.

"There's no girls coming around, Dan." But she doesn't have that many guy friends? "Then who is coming around?" With that someone knocks at the door as I shake my head. Kitty mischievously smiles as my heart pulsates ten to the dozen. I swear down if she has flew my family over from the UK I will go batshit crazy. No....surely not. She wouldn't of...would she?

While I shake my head begging her not to open the door she does. Thankfully Syd doesn't burst into the room. "Come in!" Kitty cheerfully says as two guys and Will Farquarson...shyly come through the door. Neither one of them look like they've ever talked to each other before. "So..." Kitty closes the door and literally locks us in. The tallest guy with the weirdo beard legitimately gulps. His big brown eyes looks almost pained with awkwardness.

"This is Kyle, Will and Woody. And this here is Dan." We all awkwardly say hi to each other in a deep tone. The funny thing is that all of us except Kitty looks confused. "Make yourselves at home, do you want any beer or..." With that Kyle, the one with the beard, smiles nodding his head. "You got any of that vodka?" The vodka trend. All thought this semester term...thing...everyone has had a blue frozen vodka with jelly cubes stuck in the middle. I mean, it's just different types of vodka...it takes ages to drink because of the defrosting process.

"Yeah...of course. You guys make yourself at home..." with that Kitty goes out of the room and into the kitchen. I on the other hand face the other guys, "do you know why you're here?" I look at Will.

Will is the only one to crack a smile and nod his head like he knows what bloody well is going on. Because I don't, not does the others, I mean they might know but they look in the dark about everything. "Kitty asked if I can take you under my wing. Innit." Under his what? What is Kitty trying to do? "Huh?" With that the shortest guy with the medium length hair points at me. "Means you're now in our friend group...more or less."

I know exactly what this is all about.

The other week I confessed to Kitty that I don't have any friends after she saw my contact list. Maybe this is Kitty's way of finding me friends? I mean I'm not incapable of finding friends — it's just that I don't like people in general.

"I gotta go...for a minute..." I point to the kitchen as I quickly put it the room. As soon as I step foot in the kitchen I shake my head wanting to laugh. I mean...Kitty is sweet and she really does mean well. "Seriously?" I whisper shutting the door behind me. With that Kitty turns around and smiles. It looks like the drinks have been done for a few minutes. She's eavesdropping.

"Don't fuck this up! They're the nicest guys in Atlas." Will I know for a fact left Atlas a week ago. Woody is graduating any day now and next year I'm going. Kyle is the youngest so he probably is going the year after next. I mean...I probably screwed up their ages. "I already have a friend and that's you." With that Kitty sighs as she sits on the kitchen counter looking like a total fucking queen. "Dan. Guys your age don't sit at home watching shitty movies, eating ice cream and having a glass of red wine." I point at her. "But you do?" With that she looks away almost embarrassment. "We're different Dan." But...she does that? I don't question her, she seems pretty sad. "You can't just have me as a friend. I as your best friend have to give you access to my other friends...best friend code." We're best friends now! That's even better than being normal friends! Fuck yes. I got a major upgrade.

"Just...be nice yeah. You need guy friends, I know you say you don't...but you do." With that the kitchen door opens up before I can tell her that I'm fine having one — best — friend. It's Kyle. "You play PS4 right?" He asks pointing a a blue controller at me, I don't think Kitty owns a PS4 so one of them brought there's here. "Of course he does!" Kitty answers for me as she hops off of the kitchen side and pushes me towards the door.

She's either doing this out of kindness, or trying to push my clingy arse away. But one thing is for sure...I'm falling more and more in love with her every single day. I feel like I'm loosing my mind...
