"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYA!!" a huge group of people screams as i walk through my front door. i'm hit with the smell of alcohol as soon as i walk inside, my eyes scanning the room to look for katrina. i walk through the crowds of people, getting a few 'happy birthdays' along the way. i finally reach the kitchen and spot katrina talking to her boyfriend in the corner with her back to me. i walk over there, tapping her shoulder and crossing my arms as i wait for her to turn around. i side eye her boyfriend, sam i think his name is. she's not been dating him long so i haven't officially met him yet. i see he's dressed in all black, a chain hanging from his hip and his ring clad hand gripping a red solo cup. "mya!" katrina yells making me look away from the blonde boy. "katrina, what's all this?" i say motioning around the people filled room. "it's your birthday party silly! happy birthday by the way!" she squeals as she wraps her arms around me. she pulls away with a concerned look as she notices me not hugging back. "what's wrong?" she says rubbing my arm. "kat, i asked you not too do anything too big, and this, this is big" i say looking around at all the random faces. "oh mya, i'm sorry, i just thought it would be nice for you too let loose for a night" she says pouting at me. i've never really been the type for partying, or anything in that sense to be honest. i'm quite the quiet type, i prefer movie nights and sleepovers. i don't mind a party once in a while, i guess i could just let loose and have fun for tonight, i've got nothing to lose. i let out a sigh as i look at her, a small smile growing on her face. "i guess this could be fun, but i'm nowhere near prepared, i don't have a good outfit! i'm literally in my work clothes right now!" i groan looking down at my coffee covered clothes. typically a bag of coffee beans explodes all over me the day that kat plans a surprise party for me. "that's what i'm for! come on, let's go get you party ready" she says with a smirk. she grabs my hand before kissing her boyfriend and then leading me upstairs. i giggle as she runs through the crowds of people, i never thought this many people could fit in our house, it's not the biggest house you'll ever see, but i guess i was very wrong, there has to be over one hundred people here. we finally get to my room, the muffled music roaring through the closed door. "ok, first, outfit!" she says before searching through my closet. i let out a sigh as i flop on to the bed, watching her skim through the clothes. i mainly have jeans, hoodies and oversized t-shirts in there. i've got a few dresses that i've worn maybe once, but i don't know if they even fit me anymore due to how long they've been stored in there. "perfect!" kat says as she pulls out a plain black mini dress. i feel my heart rate pick up as i look at the small amount of fabric that kat is going to make me wear. "kat, that looks way too small, have you seen how short this thing is!" i say as i get up and hold the dress up against my body. "it's perfect" she says with a smirk. i roll my eyes as her as she starts going through my shoes, i don't own any pairs of heels, i find them too girly, vans and nikes have always been what i go for. "you're not going to find any heels in there kat, i've never owned a pair in my life" i say with a small giggle as i watch her concentrate on what she's doing. "i know, i'm just looking for- ahah! these" she says handing me my white air force with a gold badge on the laces and gold lettering on the back. "these? these are my favourite pair!" i say looking slightly shocked. i barely wear these because i love them so much, i don't want them getting ruined, and wearing them at a party is definitely not a good idea. "oh come on, they're your best pair, now get dressed!" she says shoving the shoes at me. i drop them down on the bed along with the black dress and begin to strip of my work clothes. i slip on the skin tight dress and turn to look at kat who's jaw is basically on the ground. "how do i look?" i say throwing my hands out at my sides. "you look amazing! you're going to have all the guys on you. i better keep sam's eyes covered or he might ditch me for you" she says smirking at me. "oh shut up, no one would ditch me for you" i say smirking back at her, eyeing her up and down. i look at myself in the mirror, scanning my body. kat was right, i did look pretty good. not to be big headed but this dress really did my figure some justice. the tight material clings perfectly to my curves and the straight neck line shows just enough cleavage. it's not something i usually feel comfortable wearing but i actually feel confident in it. "alright, now take your hair down" she says pointing to my hair that's still tied up in a low ponytail. i undo the hair elastic and let my long dark hair fall across my shoulders. i suddenly feel kat running a brush through my long locks, pulling at it a bit too hard every now and then. "do you want to wear makeup?" she says as she looks at me through the mirror. "you don't need it but i thought i'd ask?" she says with a smile. "i really can't be bothered to put on makeup" i say with a sigh. i don't really like to wear makeup, when i do it's usually just a bit of mascara and lipgloss but i rarely wear any at all. "perfect, let's get partying" she says with a smirk before leading me back down stairs. we open the door and immediately the music is 10x louder. "i'm gonna have a headache from the music after this" i say gripping my head and giggling at kat. she giggles back before rushing down the stairs and back towards the kitchen. we make our way back over to kat's boyfriend who's stood in the exact same spot we left him at. "finally, you're back" he says with a smirk as he grabs kat's waist and pulls her closer to him. their lips connect as kat lets out a little squeal. i pull my hand away from hers, not wanting to keep holding her hand while she basically swallows her boyfriend. i stand there awkwardly for a minute before they finally detach from each other, both breathing heavily. "sam, this is mya, mya, this is sam" she says smirking back at sam. i look to sam who's eyes are trailing over kat's body, making a smirk crawl onto my face. he must notice me looking at him because we then make eye contact, his smirk growing wider as he notices i'm staring. i quickly look away feeling my cheeks heat up, "it's nice to meet you" sam says, his voice coming out a lot more gentle than i thought. his dark clothes and stern look on his face are so misleading. i reach my hand out to his, his hand gripping mine more harshly than i thought, almost shocking me slightly. he's stronger than he looks. "you too" i say sheepishly, feeling the blush creep up to my cheeks once again. he pulls his hand away and leans back on the kitchen counter, crossing his arms over his chest. my eyes trail up and down his body, noticing more clearly his good sense of fashion. my eyes first land on his black doc martin boots, with his black ripped jeans tucked into them. his black t-shirt has some sort of angel design on the front, more of a messy sketch than a clear drawing. i know i shouldn't be staring at my best friend's boyfriend but damn did she get lucky. this man is hot, there's no denying it, he just seems to have a weird vibe about him. i can tell just by his body posture that he's a secretive person, his crossed arms make him look closed off. maybe that's just my over thinking or my weird ability to feel vibes from people, but as of right now, i don't think i trust this guy. "mya? you ok?" kat says snapping me out of my trance. i look to kat who's giggling. "he's hot right" she whispers in my ear making me blush again. at least she's not mad at me for checking out her boyfriend. "sorry" i whisper back with a slight giggle as i look at sam, his eyes already on kat and i. "oh my gosh mya! happy birthday!" some random girl comes up behind me. i spin around to be faced with a blonde girl, her skin almost orange and her dress even shorter than mine. i turn back kat who gives me a sheepish look. she probably doesn't know who this girl is either. "thankyou" i say putting on the most realistic fake smile i could. "enjoy the party" i say before turning back to kat. "seriously? you don't have any idea who half of these people are do you?" i ask mocking her. "sam helped me get some more people over here, i wanted this to be big and i only know a limited amount of people" she says almost whining. "you hang out with people like her?" i ask pointing with my thumb behind me, referring to the girl i just met. not that i had anything against her, she just doesn't seem like the type of girl a guy like sam would hang out with. "hell no, that's just some girl my bro colby knows" he says giggling. i guess he does have a more tender side to him. "wait, did colby come tonight?" kat says looking almost concerned. "um, yeah, why?" sam says sounding confused. "oh god, he better not hook up with some random girl. in our house!" kat says in an irritated tone. "don't worry, i already told him no messing with girls. he's just here to party" sam says shrugging his shoulders. "good" kat says with an accomplished look on her face. "ok ladies, let's get some drinks" sam says rubbing his hands together and pushing himself off the counter. he grabs kat's hand who grabs mine and leads us to the drink table. "what can i get you girls" sam says licking his lips and looking at all the options in front of us. "a white claw sounds great right now" i say practically drooling from the thought of downing a white claw. it's been a while since i last had a drink and i was excited to have one to say the least. "you're kidding right? this is your birthday! you gotta have something better than that!" sam says giving me a look of concern. "alright then, surprise me" i say smirking and crossing my arms over my chest. i stand back and watch sam start mixing the drinks, one for kat and one for me. after about 2 minutes of watching sam flick bottles and cups around he hands us both a red solo cup with some sort of red drink inside. "drink up" he says looking proud. kat and i glance to each other before bringing the cups to our lips and letting the liquid run down our throats, a burning sensation taking over as it does so. i bring the cup away from my lips and smile as the taste of the drink finally hits. "wow, this is good! what is it?" i say taking another sip. "it's just a thing a like to call the cherry bomb" he says smirking proudly. "well thankyou, i think it may be the best drink over ever had" i say taking yet another sip. "right, come on, let's dance!" kat says slamming her cup down on the counter and dragging me away from the kitchen, sam grabs my half full cup and places it down on the counter. i smile at him appreciatively, earning a nod back. i turn back to face kat who is now dragging me towards the dance floor, i try to pull back, not feeling drunk enough to start dancing yet. kat stops abruptly and stares at the dance floor, her eyes glaring in the direction of some guy who's got girls dancing all over him. i stand next to her and find myself staring too. "who's that?" i ask in curiosity. "it's colby, sam's best friend" she says through gritted teeth. "why do you seem to hate him so much?" i ask with a slight giggle. "he's such a player and he's so mean to everyone, i just don't like him, he gives me bad vibes" she says looking up to me. i've always been a little taller than kat, but still short enough to be considered a midget by most people. i look back towards colby, my jaw almost dropping as i now see his face. he has red coloured hair that loosely falls onto his forehead, almost completely covering his eye brows, a few gaps making them more visible. as i find myself looking more closely, i can see his nose and ear piercings, one on each lobe and a helix piercing, all with black studs in them. his fashion sense is also extremely hot. he's wearing black ripped jeans with a loose black and white striped shirt, a few buttons undone at the top revealing part of his tanned chest. his jeans have a silver chain hanging from his belt loops that continuously hits the side of his leg as he sways with the girl in front of him, and his ring clad fingers are tightly gripping the hips of her. i feel a pang of jealously as i continue staring at the boy, or man i guess i should say. kat clears her throat to the left of me making me snap my head in her direction. "what?!" i ask nervously. "you better not be thinking what i think you're thinking" she says sternly, her arms crossed over her chest. "what? no! he's hot yeah but you told me he's a dick, i wouldn't get involved with someone like that" i say sheepishly, feeling embarrassed that she caught me staring. "good, because he's not good news. i've not known him long but i can tell he's not someone you wanna get involved with" she says with a sigh, letting her arms drop to her sides. "trust me, i won't" i say taking her hand and leading her back to sam. "back already?" sam says cutting off the girl trying to talk to him. i see kat glare at her before she scurries off. sam giggles at kat's actions before taking her hand pulling her into him. "colby has some girl grinding all over him and i caught mya staring" she says with a huff. "kat!" i say slapping her arm in embarrassment. "ladies" sam says holding his arms out. "he's not that bad katrina, yeah he's a bit of a dick sometimes but you don't know what he's really like. but yeah i agree, you shouldn't get involved with him mya, i can tell you're a nice girl, i can't really say the same about colby at the moment" he says with a sigh. what does he mean by at the moment? has colby not always been like that? "alright, i'll stay away" i say with a giggle. "here's the rest of your drink, didn't want anyone spiking it so i kept it with me" sam says sweetly, handing me my cup back. i take it with a smile before downing the rest of the sweet liquid inside. a burning sensation hits the back of my throat as i finish the drink making my face screw up in disgust. as much as i love the flavour, i really don't like the after taste it leaves. i put the empty cup back down on the counter before letting out a sigh. "why don't you guys go and dance now? i'm sure colby has moved on from dancing" sam says letting out a small laugh. "i'm not in the mood anymore, he just gets on my last nerve" kat says through gritted teeth again. why does kat hate this guy so much? he can't be that bad surely. "why do you hate him so much kat? i know you said he's a dick but you really seem to have something against him" i say leaning back on the counter opposite them. "the first time i went over to sam's place colby was so rude to me. he'd never met me before and he acted as if i'd killed someone he loves. he never once spoke to me personally and referred to me as 'her' the entire night, not once introducing himself or even looking at me" she says letting out yet another sigh. "oh" is all i manage to say. maybe he is just that bad. "oh come on, yeah he's a dick but he's just a very closed off person, you don't know him well enough yet. he likes to keep it tight knit and he's very particular about who he lets into the group. i think he was so agitated by you being there because he doesn't really have a choice about wether or not you can hang around, considering you're my girlfriend, not some random girl that one of the guys bought over" sam says wrapping his arms around kat's shoulders. "he'd usually kick the girl out in a second but he couldn't do that because you're my girlfriend so he got frustrated that he couldn't boss people around like usual" he says shrugging his shoulders. considering sam is supposedly colby's best friend, he doesn't talk very highly of him at all. "what so he's like the boss of your friend group?" i ask confused. "pretty much, he was the one who kind of brought us all together. i've known colby since high school, the other guys we both met together but because of his rules about who we let in, he pretty much had the decision of who got to stay and who didn't" sam says looking at me. "so he's basically a control freak?" i ask letting out a giggle. "not a control freak, just someone who doesn't trust very easily" sam says sternly. obviously there's a reason behind why colby is the way he is, or sam wouldn't be so quick to protect him. "oh, i'm sorry" i say sheepishly, looking to the ground. "there's nothing to be sorry for, there's just reasons for why colby is the way he is. a lot of people say he's a control freak but he's isn't, he's just very particular about who he lets into his life after what happened to him" sam says more softly this time. "alright, that's enough about colby, how about we go get you girls some food, obviously neither of you are really enjoying this party" he says letting out a small giggle. "i'm sorry mya, i thought this party would be fun but now i'm just not in the mood for partying" kat says sympathetically. "it's fine, i wasn't in the mood to party in the first place" i say giggling at her. suddenly the sound of cop sirens fills the air as we see red and blue flashing lights through the windows. people start rushing out as they all realise what's happening. "i guess we don't have to worry about the party anymore" i say to kat as we watch all the random people rush out of the door. "hey sam, what's going on?" i hear a gruff voice say as i spot colby walking towards us. "the cops showed up" sam says letting out a laugh. "shit, what do we do?" kat says looking panicked. "hey, it's ok, there was probably just a noise complaint, nothing serious" sam says wrapping his arms more tightly around kat. i hear the front door slam shut as the last of people leave, a knock following shortly after. i rush over to the front door and open it to reveal two rather large cops stood there. "good evening, we got a noise complaint from the neighbours" one of them says, his voice sounding like gravel. "well, everyone is gone" i say motioning to the empty house behind me. "i can see that, i guess the problem has been dealt with then. goodnight" they say before heading back to their cars and pulling away. i shut the door and head back to the kitchen where sam, kat and colby are stood waiting. "they're gone, the neighbours put in a noise complaint" i say rolling my eyes at kat. "seriously? their house ain't even that close to ours! god they're so stuck up!" kat says rolling her eyes also. "well at least you guys don't have to deal with the party anymore" sam says trying to make light of the situation. "well i guess so" i say with a sigh. "where'd the rest of the guys go?" sam says directing his question to colby. "i don't know, probably rushed out with the rest of the crowd" he says with a shrug. "call them to come back and help clear up, it's mya's birthday and i'm sure they all contributed to the mess in here" he says motioning to the house around us. i look around and notice the hoards of red solo cups and empty drink bottles. great. our house is trashed. at least nothings broken though. "this is gonna take forever to clean up" i say letting out a groan. "don't worry about that! we'll get the guys to clean up, meanwhile we can go out for food, it is your birthday after all" sam says with a smile. "are you sure?" i ask sheepishly. "of course i'm sure, anything for the birthday girl" sam says wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "thanks" i say smiling back at him. suddenly the front door bursts open revealing a group of guys, who i'm guessing are sam and colby's friends. i see six guys walk in, all looking a bit drunk, some more than others. "we're here to clean up" the tallest one says, his arms flailing in the air. he's got a black muscle shirt on with some sort of red design on the front and a pair of black jeans. his arms are covered in tattoos and his nails are painted a light baby blue, i must say he's hot, they all are. the next guy is the shortest of them all, he's wearing a similar outfit to the first guy but his shirt has a different design on the front. he also has a moustache and blonde coloured hair. the next guy i lay eyes on is dark skinned and is dressed a little more smartly. he's got a pair of plain black jeans and a white long sleeve on, a lot simpler than the others. the guy next to him is probably the hottest of the guys who just walked in. his dark hair is styled to the side, facial hair covering his upper lip and chin area. he's wearing a black t-shirt with playboy written in small letters across the front and a pair of yellow tartan trousers with a thick chain around his neck. the guy stood behind him has his hair in a man bun, the sides shaved. he's wearing a large oversized hoodie with some black jeans and some very flashy shoes, not my style but they suit him well. the final guy is a bit taller than the rest but still shorter than the first guy. his hair is coloured half red, half black in a middle part, and he has a nose ring along with an earring in each lobe, just like colby. he's wearing a pair of read plaid pants and a black nike sweatshirt. all these guys are so good looking. how can one friend group literally all be such hot guys?! "happy birthday mya, i'm mike, this is aryia, kevin, brennen, corey and jake" he says embracing me in a hug, the others doing the same. "alright, we're going out to eat, you guys get cleaning" sam says in an authoritative tone. i guess he has some sort of control over them too. weird. they all nod and get cleaning, "you ready to go?" sam says looking to kat and i. "yeah, let me just grab my purse" i say heading for the stairs. i feel a strong hand grip my arm, i turn my head to sam, "it's on me" he says with a sweet smile. i decide not to fight against it as i know he'd probably win anyway. "thanks" i say with a smile before following him and kat to the door. i hear footsteps behind me, i look and see colby following us out the door. "you're coming?" i ask confused. "yeah? am i not allowed to?" he says bluntly. i decide to ignore him and catch up to sam and kat who are already at sam's car, a white audi, how in the hell did he afford such a nice car? "oh, shit, i'm really sorry mya but is it alright if you ride with colby? my car only has two seats" he says sheepishly, knowing i'm probably not gonna be happy about having to ride with colby. "sure, no worries" i say with a sigh before turning on my heel and heading over to the only other car in the driveway that doesn't belong to kat or i. i notice that it's a corolla, not the car i imagined him having, i expected some flashy expensive car. i get in the passenger seat and automatically it feels awkward. "sam said i'd have to ride with you cause he hasn't got enough seats" i say clicking in my seat belt. "i know" he says bluntly before starting up the car and driving off. the whole car ride is pretty much silent except for the sound of colby's phone ringing every so often. "would you mind putting that on silent? it's really bugging me" i say bluntly. without saying anything he grabs his phone and puts it on silent before going back to concentrating on the road. "who's calling you so much anyway?" i ask trying to make it less awkward. "it's just some of the girls who i usually see at night" he says implying that it's the girls he hooks up with. "lovely" i reply back not really knowing what to say to that. i look down at his phone and see quite a few missed call notifications on the screen, he must have so many girls on there that he hooks up with. my eyes begin to wonder as i find myself now looking at his hand that is gripping the steering wheel, the tattoo and the veins popping in the light. my eyes trail up his arm, noticing the prominent veins. he must work out. my eyes begin to wonder all over him, my mind being flooded with images of what he'd look like without that shirt. i know he's a dick but god dang he is hot. i can understand why so many girls throw themselves at him.
