Everybody Needs A Cupid

Chapter 3

I sat on the couch, watching people drunk as ever, dancing to the music, and stumbling after every five steps. I've been sitting on the couch ever since Ashley left, which was an hour and a half ago. I haven't even seen her since.

What a great friend I have. Please note the sarcasm.

Just then a boy came over and sat next to me. "Hey, beautiful" he said. Player, player, I thought to myself.

"Hi" I replied politely. "Wanna dance?" He asked. Well i'm pretty bored, and don't really have anything to do so, "sure, why not" I replied. We made our way into the mass of teenage bodies, that were glued together, and danced.

After about fifteen minutes of dancing, I left him and went back to the couch. As soon as I sat down another guy sat down. "Hey chica" he smiled. Give me a break. "Hi". I replied dryly.

"Want a drink?" He said shoving a red cup in my direction. "You know, yea I actually do want a drink". I told him, he smiled. "But I will get one myself" I said getting up and leaving him shocked on the couch, heading to the coolers. As if I was accepting a drink from him, at a party, or any guy for the matter. It was most likely spiked.

I grabbed a coke, and popped it open. I didn't even realize how thirsty I was until now. I through the can in the bin and went to see if I could find Ashley.

While I was walking, I was on my phone looking through my mail.

"Oww!!" I yelled as I bumped into a broad, muscular back. A smell of strong cologne hit me as the person turned around. I looked up into the deepest set of brown eyes I ever saw, but my mood immediately changed when I realized who they belonged to.

Taylor. Urgh, I can't stand the guy.

Why couldn't he just be like, super ugly so I wouldn't have to give so much advice about how to get his attention. I mean seriously, I may be Cupid but I have a life to people. Sigh, but it's what I signed up for, so no complaining Autumn.

"Watch where you're going!" He said. I was at a loss for words, at the moment and was not really an openly mean person so I just stood there with my mouth slightly agape.

"No you watch it tough guy!" Did I say that? I asked myself, but then I noticed my best friend with her hands on her hips, waiting for him to reply.
"Tell that to your lil friend here! She is the one who bumped into me girly, get your facts straight!" He said and walked of unfazed.

I stared at his back as he walked away "Autumn! You good?!" Ash shouted above the music.
"Yeah, i'm fine but I could have handled that myself you know!"

"Uhuh, sure you could" she said rolling her eyes. "So?" She asked me.

"So what?" I replied.
"Are we gonna just stand here or are we going to turn up!" She yelled. "Yassss!" I said doing a little dance.

"I'm gonna love yuh, until you hate me!" Ashley and I were currently singing karaoke on a small stage at the party. Everyone was clapping by time we were over and we were feeling pretty proud of ourselves. I'm not really one to brag but lorrddd we sounded amazing as hell.
I looked down at my phone and saw that it was quarter to one, I was ready to go home. "Hey Ash" she turned to look at me. I gave her my keys and told her to wait for me by the car while I went to use the bathroom.

As I came out the bathroom door someone bumped into me, nearly knocking me over. I looked at them and saw that it was Taylor. "Why don't you watch where you're going?!" I yelled at him. He looked surprised for a moment, then his ever so familiar scowl returned to his face. "Whatever" he replied nonchalantly, "I guess you can say we're even now".
"Hmph" I flipped my hair dramatically then strutted outside to my vehicle.

I saw Ashley sitting in the passengers seat texting on her phone, patiently waiting for me. "Finally, I was just about to call you, coulda sworn you fell in or somethin" she told me. So much for 'patiently' the voice in my head said to me. "Girl stop exaggerating" I rolled my eyes "I barely took six minutes, and two of those minute were wasted on Mr. I'm so badass and cool I gotta mean mug everybody in school" Ashley burst out in laughter. For what reason? I would really like to know.
"That is the stupidest Mr. name I have ever heard" she told me. "Being mean is truly not your thing Autumn".

I playfully hit her then drove off. "Why do you hate him anyway?" She asked, and to be honest I did not know the answer. " I don't hate him just dislike him and i'm not sure my reason is rational but, since he came to school I have had alot of persons to help". I could feel Ash's eyes on me and glanced at her and the look she was giving to me was really making me scared but anyhow.
"Really A?" She replied "Just for that. It's not even really his fault that he has the genes of a greek god, you are something else". Ashley had a point but I didn't want to look bad so "Oh and every single afternoon since he's moved in next to me he has been blasting his stupid music making it impossible to concentrate" I smiled liking my reasoning.
"Well that is a reason but barely rational, all you had to do was kindly ask him to turn it down" she said. "But you see the way he looks at me in school" she argued.
"Only because you been glaring at him Autumn" Ashley told me and I knew she was right but oh how I hated to have to admit it.
Thank goodness I rolled up to her house at that time, Ash got out and looked at me. Her facial expression alone told me that this conversation was far from over.

I entered my house and made my way up to my room. All the lights in the house were off so I was guessing that my mom was asleep. I stripped out of my clothes, and went to take a shower. The hot water ran down my body, relaxing my muscles. I dried my skin with my towel and went back into my room.

As I was putting on my pj's I realized that my window was open. "Strange, I could have sworn when I came in it was closed" I said to myself. I peeped outside my bedroom door and my mom's light was still off so it couldn't have been her. I looked out the window and saw Taylor's bike parked in the driveway.
"Hmm... Oh well" I said as I got into my bed going to sleep.
