thamana's pov :

"he didn't even say anything. can you believe that?"

i watch as grayson runs off as fast as he would as he steps out the car, as if he didn't want to be seen with us.

i give ethan a weak smile and follow his lead into the front door of the house.

a sharp smell of weed and alcohol fills up my nose and my nose scrunches up in disgust as i step into the house.

ethan laughs at my reaction and grips onto my hand and i grab onto aria's as he guides us to the kitchen.

i watch ethan as he makes a drink and smiles once it's done, offering it to aria.

"i don't drink. i never have." 

"just drink it." ethan urges

she looks at me with an unsure look but grabs the red solo cup from his hand and chugs it down.

"that was putrid." she says, chuckling a bit and holding onto her throat from the burning sensation

ethan laughs and makes another drink, offering it to me.

"i'm not drinking." i state

"you sure?" he asks

"yes. very sure." 

"ok. i won't push you. i already dragged you here and that's enough."

i watch as he drinks the drink that used to be for me and he wipes the access with the sleeve of his shirt, shaking his head and chuckling a bit.

he grabs aria's hand and drags her over to the living room that's filled with teenager's dancing.

i smile weakly and play with my fingers, confused of what to do.

my eyes look around the house and my eyes land on the staircase, not seeing any sign of anyone going up there. taking my chance, i run up the stairs without aria and ethan noticing and i scan the doors.

i walk up to one room and take a deep breath, opening the door slowly.

taylor and grayson look at me with crazy eyes as they pull away from each other's embrace and i quickly shut back the door, running into a different room.

feels like i'm in a high school drama movie for god's sake.

i take a deep breath as i lock the door and take a deep breath, tying up my hair with my rubber band that was placed on my wrist.

i walk back out the door again, deciding its best to leave.

i don't dare to look for aria and ethan, knowing for sure they're going to stop me and make me stay.

as i make my way outside, i realize i don't have a ride making me groan in irritation.

"you need a ride?"

i turn around seeing one of ethan and grayson's best friends.

"alex, right?" i smile

he nods and spins his keys on his index finger.

"so you need a ride?"

i nod shyly and he smiles guiding me to his car.
