"Ugh!" I groaned in frustration, walking through the crowd of bodies.

I can't believe Huey!

I'm looking for Cindy. I'm ready to go.

If I spend one more minute here I'm going to cry, and I don't want to cry. I hate crying, I'm sick of crying.

I just have to get out of here.

I bumped into someone, nearly losing my balance.

"My bad, Jazzy." Caesar said apologetically.

I frowned. "I'm sorry but I really hate your best friend!"

"If I'm being honest, I'm not the happiest with her right now either." He sighed as I looked at him confusedly. "Her?"

"Oh, you're talking about Huey." He shook his head.

"I just need to get out of here." I huffed, crossing my arms.

"You and me both." He sighed again as I met eyes with him.

"Caesar, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. If you see Ebbz just-"

"Oh! There's Cindy!" I spotted her across the room. "I'll see you later, Caesar!" I waved quickly, running towards her.

I saw her twerking with a crowd of other girls. I rolled my eyes before grabbing her by the arm, causing her to jump.

"Oh! Hey b*tch!" Cindy smiled. "Dante went to get me anotha drink. You want one?"

"No, Cindy. I want to leave."

"Huh?" She looked at me confusedly.

"I can't stay here anymore, Cin. I just-"

Riley then walked over, grabbing Cindy's arm.

"Aye! Nigga, get off me!

"I needa talk to you. C'mon." He dragged her away.

"Wait, Cin!" I called but they were already gone.

I sighed in defeat.

I just want to leave.

I groaned, feeling my eyes start to water once again. I quickly rushed towards, and out the door.

"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!"

I shook my head while chuckling, watching Jacob from afar chugging down cups of alcohol with a bunch of guys.

I don't know how he does this. What I do know is that he's going to feel it all tomorrow.

I looked to my far left, seeing that Caesar was sitting on the couch close to where some of the other students were dancing.

I smiled, about to walk over.

I then stopped, seeing Trisha walk over with two drinks in her hand.

I frowned.
