Not So Average Life

26- The Party

I arrived back home after a long day at school. I entered the house into them walking all over the house, busily preparing for a party I assumed. They were putting out snacks and some pink punch. There were paper cups and plates on the table outside, chairs all over, party lights hanging from the ceiling and on the floor. Just then Sean barged in the door.

"Here I bought some more snacks." He carried two bags filled with snacks into the house.

"Another party?" I asked Sean although I already know the answer.

He laughed, "oh yea, I think Andrew and Alex is throwing this one. And this would be-"

"One of the best parties I'll attend?" I cut him off knowing already what he was going to say.

"You're one smarty pant huh." He narrowed his eyes at me.

It was nice to have someone in the house that I can at least talk to although I'm still a little afraid of him.

I smirked to him and made my way into the kitchen to make myself a drink when I ran into Andrew on the phone speaking to Zara. His so called 'sweet girlfriend'.

"Babe, you're coming to my party right?"

"Wait you cant?"

"Oh, um do you need me to drive you here?"

"You're at Derek's?"

"Ok I'll be there in 30 alright?"

"Bye you sweet thing. Can't wait to see you."

Andrew was smiling like a little kid who just got a candy. I hate to see him being played by Zara. He's such a nice guy with dozens of girls swooning over him. I literally have no idea why'd he settle for Zara.

Then he looked over at me. "Why are you staring?" His smile gone.

"Uh no I was just-...."

I should let him know. He shouldn't be kept in the dark like that. He should see for himself what kind of girl Zara was although I am scared of her threat to me to not tell Andrew. But I can't. Seeing him being nice to Zara made me sick to the stomach.

"Ok um... look Zara is cheating on you with Derek." I timidly said.

"What!?" He yelled.

"I... I said.."

"No I heard what you said. Now you listen to me. You, stay the fucking hell out of my business and mind your own." He shouted angrily then stormed off.

"N.. no wait." I tried to stop him to get him to listen to me.

He stopped then turned around and bursted. "Isn't it enough you ruined my family? Why the hell are you trying to ruin my relationship?" Before walking away.

I froze in fear on the spot. Unable to move my feet.

"The mother fuck's going on here?" Blake walked in while Andrew stormed out. Then he turned over to me. "Look, it's actually better if you stayed in your room for the whole party ok."

"But-"

"It's not a bad thing, you're just too young to handle anything that happens at a party and in our list of guests, there's gonna be a lot of people you wouldn't like." Blake finished up his punch. "Well, you should go up now, people are starting to come."

I looked over to Sean who walked in hoping he'd disagree.

"Don't look at me. I agree. This ain't some small party. This is going to be huge and crazy. Maybe next year." Sean suggested.

I sighed.

I made my way up to my room and took a bath. I was in my room just scrolling through my phone. The noise downstairs became louder as people start to arrive. Loud chatters and shoutings overlapping the blasting music. I really want to go down, get a feel of a big party. Soon I felt thirsty, so against Blake's better judgement, I went out. People were crowding all over the hallway. I pushed my way through downstairs and finally got myself a drink.
