It's funny how one moment you think everything is okay... The next it's not..

(Continued)

The party was obnoxiously loud and decorated with wasted teenagers by the time Peter and I got there. He kept grinning and shouting his hello's to certain friends I were aware of seeing before. It turned awkward for me the minute i stepped in the house as the atmosphere bathed me with a unwanted feeling.

I smiled with the best of my abilities, clenching on the stem of my cardigan and itching my neck nervously as I moved along the room.

I was thankful no one payed more than two seconds on me, but at the same time insulted with the underestimated glances I got.

The only good thing about all this was holding onto Peter's hand while he pulled me through the sweaty body on body crowds.

As insecure as I was with what i was wearing and how big of a sore thumb I looked like, he held on no matter what.

We made it to the kitchen which was totally destroyed with various of things I didn't want to describe. Trash in general. Lots of it.

"I pity the parents who are going to find this," I murmured under my breath.

"What?" Peter shouted amongst the exaggerated loud music.

"I pity-"

"You want a drink?" Peter shouted not hearing me.

"Sure," I chuckled. "Why not!" I shouted.

Peter nodded with a flush grin and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. I breathed in the musky smell of the kitchen combined with trashy perfume and god knows what was on the floor. It looked like barf.

I looked away immediately as my stomach began to feel queasy and placed a hand on my gut. "Nasty," I huffed.

A group of large bulky guys entered the kitchen all of a sudden with a few hoots and screams. I flinched from their caveman ways and watched as they single handedly destroyed what was inside the fridge and leave like nothing happened.

I crossed my eyebrows together and shook my head laughing.

"What's so funny?" Someone whispered in my ear.

"Oh!" I shouted jumping forward. I touched my ear and turned to see Peter with two drinks in his hand. It looked like punch, but I wasn't so naive to think it was only that.

I took it anyway and sipped it lightly.

"So.." Peter shoved his free hand casually into his pockets.

"So," I repeated him.

Peter laughed.

I leaned in forward not getting it, but laughed anyway. My stupid laugh eventually making myself laugh.

"Seriously Kyro you're still the same!"

"You mean I was always like this?" I frowned.

"Yeah!" Peter enthusiastically.

"I find it weird how you remember me though.." I murmured taking a sip. "It feels as if I should remember-"

"Nah it's nothing big," he shrugged. "Just that i did like you."

I fell silent.

Peter smiled drinking his punch.

"You're smooth you know that?" I slowly smiled into a grin.

"I know," he winked.

I couldn't help it, but flush slightly. I covered it up with a cough and turned to the side to hide my face. I smiled widely and casually turned back to Peter as if this was no big deal.

However that miserably failed when I saw Jerro in the distance eyeing me as if I was octomom herself.

I stared at him giving him a look stretching into the fact that I wasn't his business. He rolled his eyes and took a huge sip of whatever was in his red cup. He looked annoyed. Not at me, but Peter.

I wondered why he disliked Peter, but I didn't care. For me, I needed personal problems with people to genuinely dislike them. It was like a human condition logic in my mind. Even if they come off as snotty i just can't hate people if I just don't know them.
