A/N: Wow this is the third chapter I've written in ONE DAY!...lol I love it though its fun to write! Ok well hope ya'll like the story…? Seems like the typical high school life…because I mean think about it no ones life is like some of these stories (I'm guilty too…hopeless romantic!) this is probably going to turn into one of those too but I'll try not to make it too unreal because so far everything that's happened I've most likely either heard about or experience and seen for myself…well ok I'll stop blabbering here we go…

GOTTA REVIEW OR I'LL STOP WRITING!

Drunken Hook-Ups and Mistakes

The next few days were complete torture for Hope and finally the week ended. On Saturday she went out got her nails done and went to the mall of a new outfit for the party that night.

When she walked into the mall she rushed first to her favorite store. Finally after about an hour she picked out a short black mini skirt, a pair of heels, and a cute red top that was v-cut and pretty far open. It went to about her bellybutton and showed off her ring which was a tiny little butterfly. Being 18 Hope was excited she could finally get her bellybutton pierced without waiting for her parents to come back.

The night came quickly and as she got dressed she did her makeup and pulled her elbow length blonde hair up into a messy bun but let pieces fall out. Her face was glittery from the make up and smiling to herself, finally satisfied, she headed to the party.

Checking her watch Hope noticed it was about 7:30. This would be a long night she knew it and no matter how much she didn't want to be there she was glad she was because Bradin would be there. Why had she fallen for Bradin so bad? She still didn't get it. The girl who had never liked anyone in her life was falling for a guy she barely knew.

Taking a deep breath she rang the doorbell and waited for someone to come and answer the door. Looking around she noticed about 20 cars parked in the very small to begin with driveway and all around the street.

Hope was in her black convertible BMW and noticed all the other cars were pretty fancy too. A few mustangs, Mercedes, and a few more BMW's mainly cluttered the large house. Finally the door opened.

"HOPE you came!" Mike gave her a hug. Mike is one of those guys who is cool with everyone and she loved the boy to death, he was one of her really good friends. "Hey yeah I came" the moment she stepped in through the door she knew she should have turned around and left.

The room was cluttered with bottles of drinks, cups, couples or even not couples making out on the couches, and smoke filled the nearly empty room. Most of the furniture had be removed and she knew it because she had been to his house while it was normal looking and it was a lot prettier then it is right now.

Hope didn't know what to do anyways so grabbing a drink she stood by the bar with her elbow against her chest and her other arms across her waist. This wasn't her thing and she wanted to leave.

"Hey Hope, wanna join" Mike asked handing her a joint. She followed a few guys and girls into the back and after a good number of hits she felt like she was almost completely gone. Walking back into the house the room was spinning to her and she had a hard time walking.

Bradin walked up to her after he saw her and smiled, "Hey Hope, so glad to see a familiar face finally" she smiled her eyes bloodshot and trying with all her might just to stand.

"Hope are you high" Bradin looked at her and sighed. "Great this is going to be a hell of a party now" he moaned sarcastically taking her hand and leading her so that she was sitting down. "You just chill out for a while I'll be back" he got up and grabbed a beer for himself then joined her on the couch; she was still just sitting there.

He watched her for a while till she started coming back. She got up grabbed a drink and started drinking. "Whoa, whoa Hope are you ok" she laughed.

"Yeah just fine" she put the drink down on the table beside him and sat with him. "So this is fun isn't it" she laughed a little and throwing her arms around his neck and got on top of him so that she was hovering right above him.

"Hope you need to sit down you're not quite normal yet" he told her taking her waist to put her back on the chair. "I'm fine" she licked her lips and leaning in farther kissed him.

Surprised, he kissed her back for a minute then remembering she was drunk pushed her away. "Hope, sit down now! You're not clean just yet" she got up and almost fell over. "Hope sit now!" he ordered her and her speech slurred she answered.

"I'm not drunk and I'm not high, so leave me alone" she fell back onto the couch. "Ok you're going home" he picked her up and even while hitting him the entire time he carried her into the car.

After finding out from a friend where she lived he drove her home and helped her out. The house was huge and looked about 3 floors. Her other friend Nick was there.

"Thanks dude, she needs someone watching out for her all the time" Bradin was confused.

"You mean this has happened before" Nick laughed. "All the time, she's like this…she's sort of a whore sometimes we all get used to it, she's cool but just crazy like that"

Bradin was having a hard time believing this, he knew Hope as this innocent girl and not as the whore, the pothead, the drunk, or anything! This was all way new to him. "So does she normally randomly kiss people" he laughed remembering her kiss and somehow not being able to forget it.

"Not usually" that sentence right there brought up something inside of Bradin. He smiled. "Why?" Nick asked. "No reason, she kind of kissed me earlier" Nick looked at Bradin.

"You serious dude" Bradin bit his lip. "Yeah I mean it was out of nowhere but she's drunk so it's all cool" Nick laughed, "Not so sure…when she's sober and clean ask her what that was about…she might remember doing it…or" he laughed again. "Or…" he couldn't say it without laughing and Bradin was getting a little annoyed.

"Or what damn" he hissed. "Or she has a thing for you…but its Hope White, its Hope I mean…Hope, it's not possible, she's not the boyfriend type of person I don't think she's ever liked anyone" Bradin nodded, so much for that idea.

The next day was Sunday and getting online that night he waited for her to get on. He learned the schedule when she got on and was pretty sure she would get on the night before school started. He saw her screen name come up and he IM'd her.

xXxSurferboiixXx: Heyy whattupp gurl, howyaa doin?

0xXHopeAngelXx0: Headache but I'm good…I heard you took care of me…umm thanks :-D

xXxSurferboiixXx: it cool, just as long as yur ok

Bradin was having a hard time accepting that the sweet, cool Hope wasn't the real one.

Hope vaguely remembered kissing Bradin and wasn't sure if she dreamt it or if it happened but she had to apologize being pretty sure she did.

0xXHopeAngelXx0: Hey bout last night…umm I'm sorry bout wut I did it was just like…idk kinda just happened

xXxSurferboiixXx: Yea it cool no worries, I know pple do stupid stuff when they're drunk

0xXHopeAngelXx0: Yeah of course…I feel bad tho cuz I …

She wanted to say that she remembered how soft his lips were and how amazing it felt kissing him and she wanted to kiss him while she was clean so that she felt it for real.

xXxSurferboiixXx: hm?

Hope went to bed thinking about what she would say to him, how she would make it clear but not TOO obvious that she wanted to kiss him again. With a pretty good idea she went to sleep excited about the next day and pretty sure it would work.
