ALLISON

          I felt utterly disgusted of myself as I straightened the hem of the dress Ashton made me wear, which was the dress a drag queen gave me when I was alone outside a bar. He gave me a really nice dress, but it's too short today, for she gave me the dress about a year ago.

"Okay, so... Jump." Ashton's voice echoed as he lifted his arms under the tree, in attempt to catch me when I fall. "Are you serious?" I whisper yelled, and he quirked his head on one side, telling me he's serious with the decision.

"Just jump. I'm here." He said, and I nodded. I took the heels Ashton gave made me wear which is one of her sister Lauren's, held it in between my arms and jumped for my dear life.

And I was surprised to feel Ashton catching me. "You're really muscular." I patted his biceps as I put back on the shoes, and walked ahead of Ashton, grabbing his arm.

"There's too many people." I said, looking back to Ashton whom is typing away from his phone. I smirked to myself as I grabbed it, and he frowned at me in disappointment.

"Hey, Ashton. I'm coming to Riley Fleur's party tonight. You coming? - Amelia."

I nodded my head in an approving manner, and he grinned at me widely.

"So, wittle Ash found a wittle Amelia." I laughed as I said that, and he chuckled at me. "I met her on a public library." He breathed on himself, and I nodded as he grabbed his phone back and led me to the house.

People didn't notice me, or not because of my green hair because I tied it into a ponytail so it won't be obvious.

There we're cups on the entrance lawn, and I tried to pick them up and throw them on the trash. "What the hell are you doing Allison?" Ashton asked as I threw the last piece of cup.

"Throwing trash, duh." I answered and tried to grab another cup, but he pulled me away and into the door of our house. Faint dubstep music can be heard from the inside, and Ashton pushed the door and there, the loud music finally joined my ears.

I wandered everywhere, and I immediately spotted my brother playing beer pong on our family pingpong table. Of course he'll just buy new balls in the morning. Or he often lets me.

"Let's get a drink." I don't really like beer, or any type of alcohol joined drink, because I hate hangovers. My brother experiences them, and he always groans every morning and ignores every person in sight. He's truly grumpy.

"Here." Ashton handed me a cup while I sat on our kitchen bar stool, and I chugged the drink down before it even tried to sting my tongue. "So.. where's Amelia?" I asked as I put my hand on the table, making a loud noise which made Ashton flinch for a bit.

"She said she's in the pool. Just at your backyard." He hissed, and I grinned as I dragged him out on our backyard. And yes, indeed, girls are out on their bikinis, playing with balls or whatever. And what scared me most was that I spotted Luke Hemmings and his group of friends.

Ashton saw Amelia, and immediately ran up to her, leaving me. Bestest friend ever in history.

I ran to a small bench beside a large tree, rather a tree that my father and I usually hang. But he ruined our tree house the past two years which made me really disappointed.

I sat there, where literally no one would noitce my presence, and I removed my hair tie, and let my hair cascade down my shoulders and back.

I saw Luke and his friends go to the place near mine, on the grill, getting food. But the barbecue made me hungry to pieces. It's smell is so fascinating. I resisted the urge to go there, one, because of the food, and second, because Luke is shirtless wet. I buried my head in my hands as I told myself repeatedly not to like Luke, but it's just so irresistible.

I groaned inwardly as I stood up and rushed to the grill, making small tumbling moments because of the heels. I arrived at the grill, and I actually realized that Riley is the griller.

"What are you doing here Allison? I told you not to mess with my party!" He whisper yelled to me, but no one noticed because of the distracting loud party.

"Just give me the damn barbecue i'm hungry! " I grabbed one piece off the grill and munched on it, taking in it's heavenly taste.

"Whatever. Don't make them notice you."

I felt something splash on my back which made me turn my head, and I noticed the jocks splashing water onto my direction. They did not just do that. I dropped the stick and went for the pool, taking my shoes off first before plunging on the pure blue water.

When I sprouted water blurred my eyesight. They're splashing water all around me. I splashed them back, and I sat down on the path walk, trying to dry my hair.

And there I realized what I just did.

"Oh god it's ALLISON!"
