i slightly blushed at what he had called me but then ignored it once we got to the party. it was weird because mason never made a reaction out of it when he heard grayson say it.

i shouldn't either.

we all walked inside the house but i stayed back when the smell hit me. alcohol and cigarettes.
today is the first week of summer before school starts so no surprise.

i fucking hate this generation.

my gay cousin gives great advice. especially the one he said during the summer before i became a freshmen.

everything figures it's self out on the path that every individual takes.

i stuck to it. i believed that everything would be okay. one day.

i finally stepped inside the house and quickly rushed past people drinking and making out. i gagged at the sight. i'm not against showing love, i get it. but sticking each others tongues down one's throat in front of people is not a sight i would like to see.

i search for a cup but by that time i lost the sight of ethan, grayson, and mason.

i found an empty cup and cleaned it just in case someone put drugs or something in it. i poured myself a cup of water and drank slowly watching as everyone partied and to the corner of my eye i saw grayson. grayson with a girl sat on his lap. she was pretty but if i saw her a mile away, i could tell she was a slut.

grayson and i caught eye contact but i quickly turned my head and didn't even realize there was some dude coming my way. he had to have at least several drinks which made me feel sick. i was against drinking. my brother mason was too. our grandfather spiked both of our drinks when we were 13 with a little beer and without hesitation we drank it and spit it out immediately. that was one thing we at least had in common.

"come to parties often?" he says in the most douchiest way possible. i shook my head then took a sip of my water and tried walking away. he quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me back to where I was.i struggled getting out of his grip but his arm was latched onto me. i yanked his hand off but grayson then appeared from behind me and threw a couple punches at the guy. he started yelling and then carefully set his hand on my shoulder.

"melody, go" grayson says which made me run off. i ran and ran til i tripped over a tree root that was ingrown into the sidewalk and passed out.

"c'mon mel we have to get ready, it's your first day being a junior" i hear mason say as he opens the curtains to let in sunlight making me groan.

"i don't want to go to that hell hole" i say sitting up with my hair all messy. he looks at me and tilts his head.

"you really do look like crap, i guess we can't go. the principal called for something really important he wanted to tell you." he says swaying me into going to school.

"fine." i say getting out of bed.
