REAL LIFE.

"so, where's that cute boy i see all on your instagram?" mariah said as she looked over at me.

heath quickly turned to her with his eyes squinted and head tilted.

"what? cute for her, not for me." mariah responded before they both looked back at me.

"harrison? he's just my best friend, nothing more or less. he's with some family in burbank, he said he'd stop by later if he wasn't too tired." i said, glancing around at everyone's face as i spoke.

"just best friends? great to know." todd commented, earning a groan and eye roll from corinna in return.

"anyways, adelaide, how does it feel to be able to drink?" kristen questioned, removing the awkwardness from todd's previous comment.

i never met kristen. i've heard of her, we follow each other but we've never interacted. when i met scott he was having a fling with some girl, but we won't get into that.

my head was rested on ilya's shoulder as natalie rested her legs on my lap, my hand trailed up and down her ankle.

i giggled at her question. "it feels the same as it did to feel twenty, and nineteen, and eighteen. the only thing that's different is that i can drink now. legally."

"ooh baby, we've got ourselves a drinker," zane grinned at me. "i can make you a drink right now if you want."

david had his camera out, recording every minute of our conversation, even though nothing of this would probably make into the vlog.

"i've actually haven't even had a drink ever since i turned twenty one. and i cant drink on a empty stomach, let alone in the daytime." i looked around the room and everyone's face lit up.

"what?"

"we're gonna show you a great time tonight." david said from behind the camera, letting out a giggle before turning his camera off.

"what d'ya wanna eat?" jeff looked over at me from the opposite side of the couch, his accent was thick. from the videos i thought he was over exaggerating but it's real.

my cheeks turned red, i hate picking what to eat. especially since i haven't seen them in years i don't know how everyone eats, or what everyone eats. and plus all the attention was on me, so i felt like i had to make my decision in .5 seconds or less.

"whatever you guys want, it's really not big deal, i eat every-"

"looks like we're getting chipotle." david cut me off with a grin that showed off his chubby face causing everyone to chuckle.

two? three? six. it was six shot of vodka, a steak burrito and a half of a quesadilla later.

we were sitting in around, laughing like crazy and telling stories from when we were years younger.

our words seemed slurred together, but i still managed to understand every word even with chuckles erupting every second.

"okay, okay, i propose an idea," i rubbed my eyes so that i could clearly see who was speaking, and to my surprise, it was a very intoxicated matt king. "spin the bottle."

everyone cheered, me included. david was tipsy but had stopped drinking about thirty minutes ago due to him not wanting to become too drunk. i mean, who else would record us being idiots?

"lets fucking DO IT!!" ilya yelled, finishing off what remained in his in his beer bottle before setting it in the middle of our newly formed circle.

"addy goes first, since she's our guest." corinna said as she fixed a few of my hairs that stood up.

i nodded, knowing they wouldn't take no for an answer. a quiet laugh escaped my lips as i spinned the bottle, the room was so quiet now as they waited for the bottle to land on someone.

and it did.

causing them to cheer loudly, once again.

it landed on todd. todd eric fucking smith junior.

my heart fluttered and butterflies bloomed in my stomach as i looked across from me to see a smug todd.

i looked at corinna first. i'm not breaking girl code. but she managed to give me a nod of approval through her laughs.

never did i ever think about kissing todd smith. i mean, i did think about it, a lot. but i never thought it would happen. 

"kiss! kiss! kiss! kiss!" all of my friends chanted around me. except dima, ilya, natalie and david, who were giving me looks over disapproval causing me to chuckle.

i glanced around our circle, everyone was cheering and happy. except jeff, i mean he was laughing but it wasn't genuine, i could tell. our eyes met after a few seconds which caused me to revert my attention back to todd.

"c'mere toddy boy." i said finally, blinking a few times to clear my vision before leaning over at pressing my lips to todd's.

his lips were soft. but it wasn't what i imagined nor what i hyped it up to be. i imagined it to be something passionate. but maybe the buildup to the kiss is what made it bad, and plus we were drunk. nonetheless it wasn't good.

i could sense myself leaning back against the couch as todd came closer, my hands playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

"what the hell? what's going on here? is this some type of vlogsquad orgy or some shit?" harrison's voice broke our kiss.

"harrison? how'd you get in here?" david said as he laughed, pointing the camera towards harrison.

"you guys left the door unlocked, anyone could've came in." he managed to keep a straight face even with everyone, including david laughing.

"chill, man, we're just having a bit of fun." todd responded, preparing to kiss me again but was pushed back by harrison.

before i knew it i was being picked up bridal style, and harrison was carrying me out the door.

"bye guys!!!" i managed to say right before the door shut and i was sat in the passengers seat of the rental car that me and harrison got.

"god, you smell fucking horrible." he said, scrunching his face up as he began to drive down the street.

"you couldn't smell better even on your best days, bitch." i said, squinting my eyes as harrison rolled down the window, letting the air hit my face.

"what were you thinking? kissing todd?" he glanced over at me, chuckling a bit at my last response as he sat a bottle of water in my lap.

"we we're playing spin the bottle and i was being stupid," i shrugged. "he wasn't even a good kisser anyways."
