As I was drying my hands in the bathroom I heard a loud knock on the door.
I looked up in the mirror and noticed my hair was slightly messy and I pushed it down and fixed it.
I'd just spent god knows how long dancing with Rae. We sang multiple pop songs that came on through the speakers as Austin and Luke laughed at us from the sofas. Austin tried to sneak a beer before Rae scolded him and snatched it from his hands.

I can't remember how much I've had to drink but it was a lot. My feet wouldn't firmly stay in one place on the ground and I felt a soaring feeling in my chest.

Another loud knock came from the door.

"Hey dude! Occupied" I slurred while shaking my hands dry.

Then the door opened.
"Whatever I was done anyway" I mumbled and looked up to see Natalie standing in front of me. She was wearing a green mini dress and her hair was different from her natural curls as it ran down her back and looked straightened. She wore a light face of makeup and her eyeshadow was dark.

I was having too much fun to deal with her right now. "Oh hey," I greeted and her expression didn't change.

"What do you think you're doing?" She threatened with annoyance in her voice.

Okay?

"Peeing" I smiled and laughed. "And if you don't mind..."

I tried to get past her to the door but she slammed it shut and moved in front of me.

"Natalie please move" I muttered but she didn't budge. Okay, now she was pissing me off.

"Who do you think you are?" she hissed pointing her finger into my shoulder. I stepped back and stared at her in disbelief. What was she talking about?

"Look, whatever your problem is, take it up with someone who cares" I stated.

I was on strict instructions not to speak to this girl.

"You think you can just come here and steal everything from me?" She asked and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"It's a bathroom" I mumbled. I was very confused and drunk.

"Because of you..." She shouted. "The guys won't talk to me"

"That has nothing to do with me"

"It has everything to do with you! Ever since you came, Rae and Austin hate me and Luke will barely look at me" Her voice was rising and I nearly laughed.

"Look..." I tried to talk but frustratingly she wouldn't let me.

"You don't even know him," she said through her teeth.

"Know who? Luke?" I asked. I was about to call the nearest mental hospital on this girl. Her eyes narrowed in anger staring at me and her arms crossed again.

Suddenly I felt a hand grip my arm and my back collided with the bathroom tile wall. The pain grew at the bottom of my neck and my face screwed up.
