This is War

Three

Guests had started showing up and everybody is 'mingling' except me because none of my friends are here.

The doorbell rings so I get up and go to answer it. I've become the official door opener apparently because nobody else will do it.

I open the door and see four tall guys. One seriously looks like fourteen and he's still taller than me. That's total bull. There's also a lady and a little girl. I am totally spacing out right now.

" Uh... hi " o say yet again not knowing who the heck they are.

" You must be Hailey, do you know where your mom is " the lady ask.

" Probably in the kitchen " I answer and he nods and goes into the kitchen with two of the guys and hands the little girl to the boy that looks my age. Matt's friends probably.

" Do you know where Matt is " the youngest one asks so I shake my head.

" In this house somewhere, you can find him " I say and the little girl's eyes light up.

" The sass is real " she says snapping her fingers so I look at the boy holding her and see he's trying not to laugh.

" Here can you take her " he asks shoving her into my hands. Well dang. I don't really want to babysit her.

" No I'll take her if Nash won't " He says grabbing her out of my hands.

" Shut up Hayes " Apparently Nash says and we all walk into the living room and there's my idiot brother and his friend pigging out on the cupcakes mom baked.

" Oo I want some " Nash says as he and I walk up to the table they're sitting on. He goes to grab one but I take the whole plate before anybody else came grab another. I wake it into the kitchen and set it on the counter. A hand reaches between my side and arm and grabs a cupcake with blue frosting. I roll my eyes and turn around to come face to face with the Nash guy. His eyes doe. They're even a prettier blue than mine.

" You know, that wasn't very nice " he says as he takes a bite of his cupcake.

" You know it's pretty disgusting when some teenage guys are pigging out on cupcakes at a formal party " I retort causing him to roll his eyes.

" I'm glad Matt's not as sassy as you " he says so I clench my jaw.

" And I'm glad I have much better taste in friends than Matt " I say so he narrows his eyes. " Except for Johnson, he's good "

" Johnson's the only one you've talked to isn't he " he questions.

" I'm talking to you aren't I " I ask smiling fakely as I grab a cupcake.

" Stop being a smart a... " he starts but I cut him off by smashing the cupcake in his face.

" Oops " I say as I grab his hand and quickly pull him up the stairs and into the closest room which is mine. I pull him into the bathroom and hand him a washcloth.

" I should totally just walk back down there to get you in trouble " he says so I cross my arms.

" Tattle tale " I mutter as he wets the washcloth and starts cleaning his face off. " You take forever, just do this " I groan as I grab the wash cloth spread it out and wipe it across his face then through it into my bath.

" What is your problem " he ask as he rubs his nose. I sigh.

" I'm sorry, I'm just not in a very good mood right now. It pisses me off that Matt got to invite his friends and I didn't " I explain and he nods as he extends his arm out motioning for me to grab his hand so I do and we go back downstairs and sit on the couch with the boys.
I sit between Carter and Matt and my mom comes over.
