(Scarlette's POV)

He looks into my eyes and then at my lips hungrily while biting his own lips. I look at him intensely and he starts leaning in and I instantly close my eyes waiting for something to happen. I remain like this for some while but nothing happens. When I open my eyes, I see him walking away. What the hell just happened?

Embarrassment takes over me and I quickly head to look for Katrine. Finally after some minutes, I find her. She is sitting with a bunch of people on the couch. They are drinking bottles of beers. My heart is still racing from what just happened but I quickly try to burry that. I head towards her and she notices me.

"Hey Scarlette." she waves at me.

"Hey." I reply.

"All good?" she says while looking at me up and down. I nod at her.

"Guys, this is Scarlette." Katrine introduces and everyone greets me.

"Take a seat, beautiful." a guy says and I nod nervously.

"Yeah, thanks." I say.

"So what's up?" he asks while checking me out.

"Nothing." I reply not wanting to keep the conversation going on.

"My name's Mike." he says, conversing with me again.

"Okay. I'm Scarlette." I tell him.

"Yeah, I know." he smiles and we talk for a while. He says some weird stuff that I don't have any idea at all when Katrine joins me.

"What are you guys talking?" she says in a teasing tone.

"Oh hmm nothing." Mike says while winking at me.

"Hmm suspicious." Kat says while thinking and they laugh together. However, I'm still overwhelmed with what just happened a while ago. My heart is still beating like a trunk thinking how close Zac and I were. He was all over me..The way he was playing with my hair and looking at me seductively. Why didn't he kiss me? I wonder why I'm feeling such disappointment that he didn't. I feel sad that he left and suddenly I find myself missing him but I'm also mad at him. Why did he seem so close but yet so distant? Freak! What the hell is wrong with me?

"Scarl, you okay?" Kat sounds worried.
"Yeah, actually I want to leave. I'm feeling tired." I say.

"What? really!? Are you not enjoying?" she asks.

"I am but I'm feeling tired."

"Okay, let me go find Zayn." she says.

"Okay I'll wait here." I answer.

I sit nervously on the couch while waiting for Kat. I really want to get out of here. I realise that I'm alone since Mike is not here. He must have gone a while before.

"Scarl, Zayn is waiting for you outside." Kat arrives while telling me.

"Ok thanks, bye Kat, see you tomorrow."

"Bye Scarl, text me when you get home." she says while giving me her number.

After that I head outside where everyone seems wasted. I find Zayn's car and I head towards it.
"Hey thanks for dropping me home." I tell him while putting on my seatbelt.
"Sure, but are you okay?" he asks and i reply,

"Yeah just a bit tired."

"Oh okay." he smiles and starts his engine. Why didn't he come to my help earlier? I find myself a bit deceived but I don't want to tell him anything so I just play normal.
After a while he pulls up in front of my house.
"Thank you." I tell him while getting off the car.

"Night, Scarlette." he waves at me and he leaves. I open my door where I immediately  head into the bathroom and I strip off the clothes. A hot shower is what I need to process the situation that I got into today. First a creep, then Zac coming to save me. I still cannot believe that we were about to kiss. How will I face him now? Maybe I should have stayed?

After sometimes, I get out of the hot shower, wrapped in my white towel. I look myself in the mirror. Am I attractive? I examine my face and I take eternity to leave the bathroom but at last I have to go back to my room since I start sneezing, obviously I just had to catch a cold. I go in my room and change into my pyjamas. I look through the window when suddenly I hear a growling. What was that? I start panicking but then I realise that its my stomach telling me that I'm hungry. I'm so dumb!

I go downstairs and I grab whatever there is in the fridge and I start running at full speed towards my room since I just turned off the lights. I don't want to encounter any ghost soon. Yes! I'm a coward, okay!

Once there, I start eating like a pig. I'm really hungry. After that I text Katrine that I got home safe. She replies a couple of minutes later telling me she's still at the party. I wish her a good night and then I prepare my things for tomorrow. I also set up my alarm then i jump into my bed and I cover under my fluffy blanket. Can't wait for tomorrow.
