Y/N picked up Yumi and Paris up from their house and was told to meet Aicha in the club. Paris kept on telling Y/N how beautiful she really looked, but being as stubborn as she was, she wasn't convinced.


"Y/N, don't be so hard on yourself" Yumi said, with a sad look in her eyes. "Okay" Y/N said faintly as Paris squealed. "I need a new hottie in the club, help me hook up with one" Paris laughed.


Classic Paris, being so cocky and full of sexual humor. The girls parked their car in the car park, and entered the club. Loud music bursted into their ears, and colorful lights flickered into their sights. Y/N wasn't really fond of big crowds, but it was worth a shot for her. Paris and Yumi dashed to the girls' bathroom, while Y/N looked for Aicha.


What Y/N didn't notice, was Dan's eyes burning just at the sight of her. It was true, Daniel James Howell indeed had a crush on Y/N, and there was no point denying it. He kept it all to himself, and was embarrassed by it.


As Y/N talked with Aicha, they were giggling and having girl talk. That was the perfect opportunity for Dan to tip some alcoholic substance on her dress, staining the £60 dress shamefully. Groups of gasps chorused throughout the room, and Y/N felt tension in between the room.


"Prick!" Aicha screamed slapping him harsh on the face. Y/N found it hard to keep it together, because she was really close to breaking down into tears. Dan may be a nice person, but he sure was a jerk to Y/N.


Y/N lightly dabbed a tissue paper on her eyes, hoping that the tears won't ruin her eye makeup. "Y/N, please don't be sad. It was supposed to be your night" Paris sighed, looking at her with empathy.


"He just likes you, boys will be boys" Aicha said. Yumi nodded her head and agreement. "Don't you see the way he looks and talks to me? Of coarse he doesn't!" Y/N denied. There was silence for a while, before Y/N gained the courage to go back.


Aicha stood by Y/N's side, being the loyal and faithful one. If some jerk tried to pour a drink on Y/N's dress again, Aicha bash whoever's skull. That was the thing people liked about Aicha. Y/N crashed her shoulders against Dan's by accident, and gulped loudly.


"Oi!" He snapped. "Watch where you're going, you little piece of shit!" He yelled, shoving Y/N's shoulder, causing her to slam against someone else. Y/N mouthed the word sorry to the stranger who gave her a death glare, and headed to see Paris and Yumi.


They partied for a while, but Y/N couldn't lift the weight off of her shoulders, no matter how many times she danced with her friends. She didn't bother drinking at all, since she was going to drive them back home. The girls had a sleepover at Aicha's house.

It was a casual Saturday; Y/N would be found reading her book in her bedroom while sipping Jasmine Tea. But things changed, causing her Saturday plans to crumble. "Y/N, we're having tea with a friend of mine's family" Noah informed.


"Alright, I heard you the first time" she said through her teeth. Noah lightly chuckled as he fixed his collar. Y/N slipped on her grey socks and black vans whilst humming through the song 'Run Free'. Noah tapped on Y/N's door, signaling her to hurry.


Y/N grunted as she walked down to see Marco and Emerson looking blank and bored. "Y/N, we've been waiting for you in ages!" Mom piped. She nodded her head, as they got into her car. Their mom and Noah drove in their own car while Emerson, Marco and Y/N drove Y/N's car.


They followed Noah's car to the place, and ended up in a fancy restaurant. Y/N gulped, hoping not to end up causing the whole tea party a wreck. As the family got in, Y/N's jaw dropped in the realization of knowing that they were having tea with the Howell's.


When Dan noticed, he shot Y/N a cold glare. She wasn't surprised by one bit, since he was really hateful towards her. "Hey, play it cool" Marco reassuringly whispered into her ears while they took a seat. "Y/N, have a seat next to Daniel" Mrs Howell said sweetly.


Y/N faked a smile,while she heard Dan grumble under his breath. After what felt like forever, it was time for them to part. "I really had a great time with you Howells, can't wait for dinner" Noah chirped, making them chuckle.


"Wait, dinner?" Y/N blurted unwarily. Soon, all eyes were darted on her. Emerson swatted her shoulders and hissed at her. "Sorry" she muttered.


As Y/N flicked through another page of Gone Girl, Emerson entered the room. "Y/N, I know he's a bully to you but just play it cool to the Howells, okay?" Y/N nodded her head, while feeling a pang of hurt hit her.


Y/N's POV


"The Howells are here!" Mom exclaimed from downstairs. I cursed under my breath and got down stairs groggily. People could blatantly see that I'm moody. It was in the way I walk down the stairs. Dan's younger brother was drinking the water while he glared at me.


"Y/N, look at you! I like your dress" Mr Howell gushed. "Thanks, you too" I said back. Mrs Howell and Mr Howell looked into each other's eyes in utter confusion. Oh. My mom cleared her throat as she placed a meal on the table.


I ate casually while seated next to Dan's little brother, Adrian, and Emerson. "I need to go to the bathroom" Dan stated, shooting up from his seat. "Oh! Yes sweetie, maybe Y/N can show you the way" mom flashed him a bright smile.


Mom and I exchanged looks towards each other and then I sighed in defeat. I gestured him to the end of the hallway. "Here" I said plainly. "Bitch" he grumbled, slamming the bathroom door shut. How nice.


After our meal was over, the Howells left. Emerson waved goodbye to Adrian and I just stood there with my arms crossed.

I pulled my phone up to see a text.


Dan: Bummer. I was hoping you'd choke and die on the damn food.


Marco was caught looking at my phone, and he growled.
