I walked into the large french doors that led into a empty hallway. I was home alone, again. I heard a excited meow and four little paws running. The small white persian cat ran straight to me.
"Hey mel, how are you doing baby?" the small cat rubbed her face on my legs waiting for me to pick her up. "Look at me 17 and talking to a kitten."
I laughed at myself and carried the fluffball into my bedroom. The little white cat looked out of place on my black bedspread. She watched as I walked around my room grabbing different things and getting organized for the next two days of school. This week was easy we started on a wednesday meaning I had only two more days to go.
My phone rang loudly blaring Helena by My chemical Romance, caller I.D said Kwan. "Hey Kwan, whats up?"
"Sam, back to school party this friday night at my place." kwan practically yelled over the phone. I couldn't help but smile at the oversized goofball.
"I don't party, yo know that" my voice was stern but my smile was betraying me.
"Common just once you and me, I wont leave your side, but no Mikey." i could hear his voice drop slightly at mikey's name. It was no secret that after star dumped Kwan for dash he turned towards me for help. The poor boy wasn't used to being an independent variable. But at the time my friendship with mikey was getting stronger and he really didn't like competing for attention.
"Fine, but if one thing goes wrong I leave." I smiled.
"Wicked, be at my place at eight."I could hear his grin.
I sighed, knowing what I signed up for. Mel Felt my frustration and rubbed against my hip from the bed.

Friday morning was something else. Kwan would not shut up about his party all day. And Mikey was being oddly protective of me, Danny was avoiding me at all cost. I knew I'd see him tonight though.
Classes went by and next thing I knew I was home getting ready. My lilac crop top and black shorts showed how much I had filled out from an awkward fourteen year old. The amount of cleavage was tasteful and I stopped right above my belly button. My skinny jeans were comfy and worn and a simple pair of black creeper boots were on my feet. I put on my black lipstick and eyeliner and called it ready. Putting my hair in a ponytail leaving my bangs and some stray hairs out. I looked fine.
Entering kwans place was like entering a bad high school movie. Walking in felt like I was transported to another dimension. The strong smell of liquor and weed hit me.
I caught sight of kwan who happily ran to me. "Sam!" He drawled out my name picking me up in a hug. "You actually came, dash owsd me fifty bucks now." he was obviously drunk.
I went to the table all the football players were at and grabbed a cup to down. The harsh liquid burned. But i took another sip of it.
"Damn Manson, you can drink," a kid in a letterman jacket (scotty, sullivan something with an S) "and you are looking fine." his eyes trailed me. I rolled my eyes. Kwan wasn't taking it either he put his arm around my shoulders a glared.
"Let's go to the back yard," i told him knowing more people were out their but i haven't really gone out during highschool, excuse me for showing i was way stronger than others thought especially after the whole Danny thing.
"Sure we can play beer pong," he sounded hopeful the tone bordered questioning. I nodded and he smiled at me like i just gave him the world. As we walked out the glass door i saw him, the reason i felt the need to prove that i'm okay. Looking like the typical movie rebel in a white t-shirt and leather jacket.
Paulina was in a barely there shirt and skirt hanging on to him like he was a flotation device. "Danny baby let's play with kwan and sam i bet we can beat them." she whined.
"Sure lina lets do it," he glared kwan down barely looking at me.
We set up not even starting but gathering a crowd. Danny took his shot first missing the cup. Kwan goes barely doing the same.
Paulina takes a shot hitting one right next to me and making it in. "ladies first?" kwan handed me the cup. I took it and drank it quickly. The game went on and it fineled that we (barely) won. Paulina seemed to be a lightweight. Barely able to walk away angrily.
Kwan picked me uo throwing me over his shoulder in victory. I laughed a little too tipsy to care. I felt fine i had a somewhat interaction with danny, no fights and no issues. Pnce kwan got inside he put me on the kitchen counter. "We were awesome sam, I think we make an amazing team. He was inanely close to me a little too close, yet i didn't seem to mind.
"Kwan let's dance." pushed him back and grabbed his him guiding him to the living room. I moved around him ridiculously using my hips when he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him grinding into me. I was shocked to say the least it had been a while since a guy had been so close. "I'm going to pee." i ran off to the upstairs restroom.
Opening the door was the last thing i wanted to see. Danny had Paulina on the counter his hands up her skirt and tongue down her throat.
"Oh sorry-" i closed it almost wanting to cry but knowing they'd be wasted tears. I went for my phone. "Mike, can you come get me im at kwan's."

So then i ended up in mikey's parents can feeling sick to my stomach. I shot Kwan a text saying i called an uber because i wasn't feeling well.
"Thanks mike your my Bestie," i grinned at him overly grateful at his save.
He sighed, "sammie we talked about this, you really shouldn't drink especially around others, remember what-"
"Yes i do, i was in a bad place leave it there we agreed to put it past us and move forward-" i grumbled. "It wasn't a mistake and i don't blame you but, come on Mike, we both know i'm not over it.
"I know sam and im not saying it was i just don't trust those guys that were there," do you wanna tell me what happened." he kept his eyes straight, almost refusing to look at me as we parked outside my house.
"I caught Danny and paulina in the bathroom and the…" i trailed off feeling sick. "Im gonna barf." i opened the door and let it out.
Mikey got down and helped me into my house and up the stairs. We got into my bathroom and he handed me water and helped me clean off my makeup. I showered and round him in my desk chair waiting for me. "Mikey, thank you."
"Anytime sammy." he kissed my cheek tucking me into my blanket and then leaving.

I woke up yesterday with a killer headache and my body aching. I called Kitty to get a ride to kwan's, she had johnny's motorcycle so she took me down and we went to skulk and lurk books. The cafe that had branched off of it was a nice place to catch up.
"So any reason why you wanted to talk?" kitty was never one to be sensitive or stall.
"How do you deal when you and jonny break up."
"She's the wrong person to ask little girl." ember walked over to us with her apron and notepad.
"She's kinda right kid, johnny and i are always fine in the end."
"Look i'm gonna be nice and honest, the kid misses you. You are just as pathetic as him but you should show him you are moving on so he gets a taste of his own medicine." ember grinned with a sinister hint to it before smiling sweetly. "That's one black iced coffee and an ecto frappe, right?"
