It's Not just a Game

Chapter 13: Mending a Breaking Heart

"The regulars? E what kind of bull face lie is that? I would not have bought Ulta chunky salsa for 'the regulars"

I just shrugged and grabbed a handful of chips, prepared to walk out and go get myself ready.

"E... how many people did you say were coming?" Beck asked curiously.

"Only like... a few, dozen. Okay, maybe like... most the- all the school?"

Beck looked at me in shock and I heard Carter's laugh echo from the kitchen. Tonight was going to be amazing.

---------------------------------------------------------

Soon enough, people began filing in. Music cranked from the gym's speaker and I watched as people gridded upon each other. I only laughed and swallowed the watered down Cola in my glass.

"Hey there beautiful," a deep and husky voice whispered in my ear.

I smiled and turned around to face Terran, yum was the only word that came to mind. He wore a light blue button-up and a pair of dark jeans, the top three buttons of his shirt rested undone and a black beany sat upon his head.

"Hola handsome," I whispered back, wrapping my hands around his neck and pulling him down for a kiss. Still, his kisses were absolutely amazing. Like wow.

We broke away and he flashed me a charming smile, taking my hand in his and pulling me towards the dance floor.

"Ter, I don't dance," I stated.

"Well, tonight you d-"

"Hey, Terran!" A guy yelled over the music, Terran sighed and turned to face the voice before flashing an apology and letting go of my hand.

I can't say I wasn't a bit disappointed, I stood there awkwardly for minutes before returning to the food table and filling my cup up once again with cola.

"Some party." A deep voice said beside me, I turned to face the side profile of a man. His facial expression was hidden in the dark, so I couldn't tell who it was.

"I'm gonna take that as a compliment," I said, attempting to figure out who I was exactly talking to.

"Well, you do that and I will try to enjoy this shitty party," he said taking a long swallow from a can. What! Where the hell did he get that?

"Where the hell did you get that can of beer?" I asked trying to snatch the can out of his hand.

"Whoa, slow your role there E, it's just cream soda, ya know the root beer kind, not related to beer at all," the guy said finally turning to look at me. Alec.

"When the hell did you get here?" I asked, yelling slightly over the music.

"A few minutes ago, Carter invited me and I thought I take up the invitation since I didn't have anything else better to do with my Saturday night," Alec explained staring aimlessly into the dance floor. I tensed not knowing why Carter would invite him.

"Relax their sunshine, I don't plan on ruining your 'precious party" He exclaimed, making air quotes with his finger. "Besides, I don't plan on staying long. Just making sure Carter stays out of trouble."

"According to her, you're the one that needs to keep out of trouble," I stated, crossing my arms over my chest.

I heard a low chuckle enact from his chest, he raised his soda back to his lips and locked eyes with me.

"You could say that."

We stood in silence for a moment, his gaze was fixed upon the dance floor; an evil smirk resting upon his face.
