「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

15 | "Oops?"

I'm surprised someone hasn't had a seizure yet.

Mia grabbed Chase and I's hand and dragged us to the kitchen where it was quieter and where people were getting drinks.

"Okay I'm the designated driver but please don't get drunk off your asses okay? Okay!" Mia beamed while Chase and I nodded,

"Alex you look really good today" and I furrowed my eyebrows at him and Mia discreetly coughed, "oh and you too Mia".

"Um thanks Chase, you should go catch up with your friends" I said and he nodded and walked off into the crowd,

Mia looked at me with a pout, "Chase isn't going to be able to resist you she said, we're going to make him think that this is girlfriend material she said" and I gave her a small smile,

"We've still got the whole night, don't we?" I told her and she nodded hesitantly, "well then let's have some fun!" and she smiled brightly at me as I lead her to the dance floor.

We were dancing for quite a while before Mia said she's going to go meet up with a friend and she'll be back soon, she also asked if I wanted to come but I declined after I spotted a certain someone amongst the crowd. Or a few certain someones actually.

Logan, Kasey, Will, Val, Ethan and Grayson to be exact.

"Hey guys!" I greeted them and I received a chorus of greeting back,

"Having fun?" Grayson asked me and I nodded,

"Alex, let's go for a walk shall we?" Kasey asked me and I was surprised that she wanted to talk to me,

"Yeah sure, just one sec" I told her before turning to the rest of the boys "if I don't come back soon assume I'm dead" I stage whispered so Kasey could hear me too. They laughed and even Kasey cracked a smile as we walked out into the backyard where it was quieter and there were less people around.

"Before I met you" she started, "I judged you based on what everyone said and from what I heard you were the enemy, so naturally I believed it too. I thought you deserved that kind of treatment that I gave you, but when you helped me that day even though I was rude to you, you still helped me and I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for acting that was towards you and I know I said that we won't be friends but maybe we could try that again? You know? Start over, it's okay if you don't want to I totally understand and I-"

"Alex" she started again, "I just wanted to say thank you for you know helping me even though you had no reason to and I'm sorry because I was so incredibly rude to you"

"No problem" I replied easily, "but Kasey? I just wanted to know that when we first met what did I ever do to make me hate you so much?"

"It's gang stuff Lex, I'll tell you when I think you're ready and right now you're not but I can say that before I met you I judged you based on what everyone said and from what I heard you were the enemy, so naturally I believed it too. I thought you deserved that kind of treatment that I gave you, but when you helped me that day despite how I acted towards you and you still helped me -I guess what I'm trying to say is, I know I said that we won't be friends but maybe we could try that again? You know? Start over, it's okay if you don't want to I totally understand and I-"

"Yes" I said cutting her off, "I'd love to be friends",

She grinned and I grinned back,

"I'm going to uh go back inside? You coming?" she asked and I shook my head.

I was enjoying the cool breeze rather than the dense air and smell of alcohol inside.

I stood there for a few minutes just enjoying the fresh air I decided it was time to go inside again but then I saw Chase walk out who could barely walk in a straight line.

"Chase! Mia said not to drink too much" I scolded and he gave me a large grin,

"Oops?"

"Come on, let's get you sobered up" I told him but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back,

"No" he frowned and I furrowed my eyebrows at him, only then I noticed half the football team was staring at our little interaction, they all had large smirks on their faces and they were giving Chase small thumbs ups from where they were standing.

"No?" I asked confused, "why not?"

"Because then I wouldn't be able to do this-" he said and I was about to ask what he meant before he kissed me.

He just kissed me and I could smell the alcohol on him, but I didn't kiss back, instead I shoved him hard enough that he stumbled.

But he wasn't the biggest problem right now,

The biggest problem was the loud gasp accompanied by a shaky voice that said, "Chase? Alex?" and my eyes widened,

I turned around to see Mia standing a few feet away from us her eyes filled with a look of pure betrayal.

"Mia! Mia wait!" I called about to follow her but she didn't stop.

Then I saw Logan who stood near the door way, his face showing absolutely no sign of emotion like every single ounce of what ever he felt the moment before was gone and he was damn good at hiding it.
