She's My Air

• chapter three

H A Z EL

I did not want to go to this freaking party, the last time I went to a party I lost my dad. Who am I gonna lose this time?

No.

I'm being ridiculous right? I mean I can't be scared of parties.

But I am. I'm scared of long car rides, I'm scared of parties and and most importantly I'm scared of losing someone I love again.

I've been scared this whole car ride, been watching out the window just waiting for something bad to happen.

I know I'm being paranoid but just the thought of this car ride and going to a party where I'm gonna know nobody except Zack and Jerkface make me sick.

Okay I know he has a name, and I should probably start calling him it instead of the nice nickname I gave him considering he almost heard me call him Jerkface a few minutes ago.

I didn't mean to mumble it, I was just thinking it and I guess I said it out loud without realizing it. I don't think Jerkface, I mean Asher, likes me very much. He just kept watching me the whole car ride, I don't know what he expected me to do. I mean, I cant even form a sentence with him let alone start an actual conversation.

Why did he keep staring at me? Does he really not like me that much that he had to judge me the whole car ride. Of course my luck, the first person I meet in this town is a douche bag.

"Finally we're here, I can get away from mute over here" Asher mumbled.

Was that about me? Of course it was who else would it be about.

"Asher watch it" Zack warned him.

"I'm not a mute" I all but whispered.

I don't know what his problem is. He doesn't even know me, and he's already decided he doesn't like me. What if everyone else I meet feels the same as he does. I know I'm not the most exciting, and I like to keep to myself a lot but he didn't even give me a chance.

"Yeah whatever, I'm ready to party" Asher said while he was already getting out of the truck.

I really don't want to be here, but I didn't have the heart to tell that to Aunt Judie. She looked so happy of the thought of me going to this party, so here I am.

"He's not usually like this, I'll talk to him about it" Zack said.

I really didn't want him to go and talk to Asher about me. He probably already thinks I'm weird enough, Zack talking to him about him teasing me will just make it worst.

"That's okay, thanks though" I told Zack.

Zack and I got out of the car and headed up the stairs to the house. As I'm walking towards the house I slow down, realizing something.

"Is this a frat party?" I ask Zack.

"Yeah, we have some friends who are freshman in college. They'll be on their best behaviour though."

Great. I bet he thinks this is my first college party. Sadly, it's not. I've been to too many frat parties and I definitely am not in the mood for another.

"If you feel uncomfortable being with college kids, we can go." Zack offered.

I'm a junior in high school and I've probably already been to more parties than he has. I don't want him to know about my party past though, I want him to think highly of me.

"It's okay, let's rock and roll."

Ew.. did that really just come out of my mouth. I mean I knew I was lame but that's next level dork, even for me.

I kind of hope Zack didn't hear me but when I look at him and see his smirk and amused eyes, I know I couldn't have been that lucky.

We walk in and musics blasting throughout the big house. At least I like the song that's playing. All I need to do is stick with Zack and I'll be fine.

This plan goes downhill when I lose Zack within the first three minutes we're here. I kid you not, three minutes. That's all it took.

Now I'm here. At a party, in my pyjamas with nobody I know. Maybe I can just hide out in the bathroom.

My new plan sounds better by the minute and I rush to the bathroom just to get away from all these people.

I finally find the bathroom, after manoeuvring around everybody in this jammed packed house. I knock on the door. I don't know what the point is, it's so loud in here I wouldn't be able to hear if someone answered me anyways.

I open the door and almost scream. My hand flies to my mouth.

Ashers in there.

With a girl.

Did I mention we've only been here for like five minutes?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TW: next chapters gonna contain some form of sexual harassment so if this offends you or anything in any way pls skip or don't read :)

Anywaysss

It's Asher kissing another girl when there's obviously attraction between him and Hazel for me. I mean Hazel and Asher have only known each other for like an hour but so besides the point.
