"be good okay?" i ruffle my little brothers hair as he leaves with mattia's mum and brother.

he waves goodbye and i jog over to mattia's car where they're all waiting for me.

"sweaty asses." i say as i jump in the backseat next to ale.

"you know we showered after the game, it's our kits in the back." mattia looks at me in the mirror and then starts driving to hayden's.

"is it gonna be busy?" i ask.

"no, it's usually just the team and some girls from the cheer squad." kairi replies.

"well zoe and her friends know about it." i say.

"chill out, elle." ale ruffles my hair. "phoebe is hayden's sister." oh, i probably should've known that.

"i'm chill. i just wanna know if anyone from my old school is gonna be there." i shrug, pushing him away and starting a play fight.

"if there's anyone who tries their old shit- i'll beat their ass. just tell me." mattia says and turns on some music.

everyone's in a good mood and i should be too so i just drop it.

we pull up outside a house, which doesn't look packed, so i let out a sigh of relief as we all get out the car.

mattia throws his arm around me as we walk upto the house and enter. "are you drinking tonight?" i look up and ask him.

"fuck no. you?" he asks me as we walk into the living room, where music is playing.

"maybe." i reply and he nods, greeting his friends.

the boys sit down on a couch and kairi begins rolling a blunt.

"why are you so good at that?" i ask, impressed as i watch the boy.

"his little hands have little fingers." alejandro laughs.

"i simply will just not pass this to you." kairi says as he places the blunt between his lips and attempts to light it.

"yes you fucking will." ale tells him and kai succeeds at lighting it and takes a few drags.

"why you still stood up? weirdo." mattia looks up at me.

i gesture to the lack of seats. "hm i wonder." i say sarcastically and roll my eyes.

he pulls me down to sit on his lap. "you ever smoke before?" he asks as kairi passes the blunt to alejandro. one of his hands is on my thigh and his other arm is around my back, my nerves almost make me miss the question.

"we've talked about this before mattia, yes. i'm just not very good at it and prefer drinking." i shrug. he takes it from ale and holds it up to my lips. i shake my head, making my decision and he chuckles before smoking it himself. my eyes are drawn to his lips as white smokes escapes between them.

"i'm gonna see where zoe is." i stand up but he grabs my hand.

"don't wander off alone, elle." he shakes his head, my heart warms at his protectiveness.

"no, i'm just going to the kitchen to call her, it's quieter in there." i walk away and pull out my phone, pressing zoe's name as i hop up onto the counter.

"hey girl, you here?" i ask once she answers the call.

"just got here, where are you?" zoe asks.

"in the kitchen, i'll wait here." i say and end the call. i talk to a few guys from the team but all their heads turn at once.

the bitches from my old school walk past the kitchen and into the living room. great.

"oh my god. i'm so annoyed." zoe says as she enters the kitchen.

"me too. wanna get drunk?" i ask her and jump down from the counter as she nods. "why are you annoyed?" i ask her.

"i was coming to find you and the girls were stopping to talk to everyone so i just ended up leaving them." she explains as i pour our drinks. "what about you?"

"you were right, they're here." i say and hand her a cup.

twenty minutes later i'm fairly tipsy and becoming bored of singing in the kitchen.

"i'm going to find the guys." i tell zoe as she's occupied in a conversation.

i walk into the living room again but don't see them so i decide to go into the backyard.

i exit the house and see jasmine making out with some guy. she was the worst one from liberty, i genuinely hate her.

i watch as she runs her hands through his shiny hair and reveals his face.

it's mattia.

of course it's mattia.

i laugh and turn back around and go back into the house. i'm laughing at the chances of it being him, the one who makes my heart sink.

i don't know why i even care- he can do what, and who, he likes.

"elle!" zoe grabs me and pulls me close. "i'm leaving with ale." she whispers and smiles.

"no, zoe you've been drinking." i say.

"he hasn't, he can drive my car." she nods. "and don't worry i'm not drunk, i know exactly what i'm doing." she winks and i laugh as she leaves doing a little dance.

i walk upstairs to find a bathroom for some time away from the crowd.

"daniel, where's the bathroom?" i ask as i see him at the top of stairs.

"follow me." he says as he takes the lead. "me and hayden were just going to smoke in there so loads of people don't try hop on, but you can use it first."

"i don't need it i just wanted a break, outside is full of people." i explain. well, just one person, one person who i do not want to be around.

i follow him into the bathroom and sigh sitting down on the edge of the bathtub as hayden walks in and locked the door.

"hey elle." he greets me, clearly confused.

"hi hayden." i smile and pull out my phone as the boys begin to smoke.

"you want some?" hayden holds it out to me.

"she won't, she's a pussy." daniel says.

"no i'm not, don't be childish. i'm good thanks." i shake my head.

"told you, she wouldn't even kiss me." daniel tells hayden.

i snatch the joint out of hayden's hand and put it to my lips. "did it ever occur to you maybe i don't find you attractive?" i joke, coughing which causes them to laugh.

"nah, that's not possible. i know it's cause you're too hung up on mattia." dan shrugs.

"okay, either i'm high already or you're dumb as fuck." i shake my head and continue smoking.

"everyone thinks it." hayden chimes in.

"yeah, cause of vic's stupid ass lies." i roll my eyes and take my final drag before passing it back to dan.

"you've not been drinking have you?" he asks.

"obviously." i chuckle and stand up as someone tries the door handle.

"you idiot, you can't drink and smoke! you're gonna be fucked up." daniel says, like i was already supposed to know.

"oops." i shrug and unlock the door before opening to see jasmine and mattia.

"no fucking way-" mattia says.

"elle-marie!" jasmine finishes his sentence with a smirk on her face.
