"School's finally out, bitchhh" my best friend, Natalia, said to me.

"Thank goodness, I'm so stress free now. Hallelujah." I looked back at her

Natalia Woodman, the school's so called "bad girl" She never showed up to class, barely passed all four semesters, and goes partying almost every weekend just to get wasted. She has her nose pierced and got a secret tattoo of a butterfly on her lower back.

Me on the other hand, the absolute complete opposite. I pay attention in school, push myself to the limits for work, and spend my weekends hanging around.

I try to rub off on her, but it'll never work. We are so different and I think that's why the friendship works so well. I met her when I was 15, freshman year. She was the new girl and I was getting over the loss of my mom. We both kinda just fell into each other's arms and now here we are, 17 years old and pretty much seniors now.

"You coming to the end-of-school party tonight? I heard there's gonna be some hot ass guys from Sugarwell school. " Natalia asked me, almost like she was pleading me to go.

"Sorry Nat, I made plans with Gray for the marathon movie night, tonight. It's a tradition." I swung my backpack over my shoulder before hopping into my car, parked next to Natalia. "Just don't do anything stupid and call me later."  She nodded while driving away in her own car.

I stared my dark blue Jeep and grabbed my phone. I clicked on Spotify to play "Shotgun" by George Ezra. A personal favorite song.

I pull into the driveway seeing everybody was already at the Dolan household. I put my key into the hole and push in.

"hello hazel, how was your last day?" Lisa looked up at me while she was cutting some vegetable up on the board.

"It was pretty good, we didn't do much, but I enjoyed seeing some of my friends." I smiled at her before heading down into the basement.

My room was the back basement bedroom. There was a living area where everyone kind of hung out but mainly everyone was stationed upstairs.

"Hey G, what's up?" I smiled at Grayson while he set his game set down.

As soon as I was moved into this house, Grayson became like the other half of me. Not in a weird way, but he has been one of my closest friends since the beginning. We had on and off feelings with each other, but they never did align. Over the years, we've figured that we'd be better off as friends.

"Nothing much, I've been chilling here for a while now. Would you happen to be going upstairs because this juice tastes like monkey ass and needs to be thrown out?" He smiled at me with his pearly whites that could make any girl swoon. And his hazel eyes, brown hair, and built body, was sure to attract anyone.

"Yeah sure, we still on for movie night?" I asked grabbing his drink

"You know it. And you pick this time." He grinned at me as I headed upstairs.

I kept my head facing the ground because it looked like there was some type of bug attached to my sock, but I couldn't figure it out.

My body crushed into another, bigger and stronger body. Intimidatingly taller than me.

I look up and see the devil himself. I locked eyes with him and they seemed so dark. Like there was no soul in them.

"Watch it bitch" Ethan spat at me.

"Fucking douche" I fired back while walking to the sink.

"What was that?" Ethan stopped in his tracks getting closer to me

"You heard me, prick" I dumped the juice down the drain when a dark shadow flew over top of me.

"Watch yourself." Ethan whispered into my ear  sending chills down my spine. He backed off and walked back to his room where he spent most of his day.

Ethan and I never got along. And when I say never, I mean never. As soon as I moved in, he wanted me out, just as much as I wanted out and everything back to normal. His dad left before I came. All these years, I believe the reason he hates me is because he doesn't want another presence in the house and he wants it all back in order. I couldn't grasp what I did wrong, so I choose to leave him alone.

Lisa walked back into the kitchen and threw the veggies into the pot.

"Was Ethan down here?" Lisa asked me while stirring the pot of hot water

"Yeah, he was." I said before continuing downstairs.
