Mila POV
"How ironic. You have a crush on the same boy you suspected of being a vampire, what's more you guys are lab partners now." Maria chuckles sitting down beside me.
"I don't have a crush, I just told you he's cute." I grab a pillow off her bed screaming into it. "Fuckkk."
"The fuck is up with you?" Her older brother walks in.
"Nothing, fuck off." I respond but my voice was muffled from the pillow.
The pillow is snatched away from me and I glare up at him. "What?"
"What's with the attitude?" He returns my glare.
Maria watches from her bed eating a candy bar with an amused smile.
"What attitude Marco?" I ask sweetly.
"Alright." He rolls his eyes throwing the pillow in my face. "Moms went out so I'm bout to dip over to a party, you gon be good?"
Maria eyes light up. "I wanna come."
"No."
"I'm coming." She argues.
I watch them bicker from the floor, though the only thing my eyes seemed to be focusing on was Marco.
I had a crush on him for about four years even though he's the epitome of a fuckboy but,
He's so fine, with his loose curly hair and medium build body, and those pink plump lips. My eyes drift down to his arms taking in his tattoos.
Those tattoos of his are so fine. I can just imagine how hot it'll look when he chokes me—
"Yo."
I blink snapping out of it. "Huh?"
They both stare at me. "Are you coming or what?" Marco questions.
"Uh to the party?" I ask confused from my daze.
He gives me a dumb look. "No shit."
My face falls and I quickly flip him off.
"Yea sure whatever."
"Hurry up and find something to wear." He turns to his sister. "Your friend is weird istg." He leaves after that.
•••
I regret coming.
The music was insanely loud I could barely hear my thoughts. The smell of liquor was making me sick and having so much sweaty bodies rubbing up against was beginning to work my nerves.
This is totally Maria's scene not mine. Maria and I are total opposites. Most of the time the reason we get into trouble is because of her, plus she's popular with the guys and I'm like...not.
Don't get me wrong, guys are attracted to me but they don't pursue me for much other than sex and sex is rarely ever good.
Nothing can really top sex with Felix, now though.
I push my way through the crowd of bodies going to the lounge area. I quickly notice a familiar face smiling.
I walk up to where he sat, sitting next to him. I whistle quietly looking around the room.
"Uh hey..." I tried to start a conversation. "Didn't peg you as the party type."
I glance at him the same time he does. "My friends forced me to come."
"You have friends??" I cover my mouth quickly embarrassed.
"Why is that so shocking?" He chuckles.
"You just seem like a loner." I shrug.
"Well you don't peg me as the party type either." He looks at me.
"I'm not but I didn't wanna be by myself so I agreed to tag along with my friend and her brother." I reply snapping the hair tie on my wrist.
"Oh." It falls silent after that, neither of us knowing how to continue the conversation.
I tap my leg to a rhythm of the song currently playing. He shocks me when he suddenly asks,
"You smoke?"
I slowly turn my head to him. "Um you mean like weed?"
"Yea." He digs in his pockets pulling out a blunt. "Wanna smoke one?"
"Sure." I agree smiling.
He gets up. "Let's go outside, it'll be less stuffy."
I nod getting up and following him.
•••
"Is this your first time getting high?" He laughs as I cough.
"Yes, don't laugh at me." I hand him back the blunt, glaring slightly.
"Yea you're not inhaling it right, you won't get high like that." He takes a hit inhaling it before slowly exhaling it.
God that's so satisfying to watch.
"You make it look so easy." I frown.
"I smoke a lot so that's probably why." He takes another hit. He exhales it and I accidentally inhale it.
I tried to fight the urge to cough but my throat hitched and I coughed hard slapping my chest.
"Fuck."
He laughs. "Bruh."
"Shut up." I huff embarrassed.
"I'm sorry it's funny, I didn't expect you to suck this much." He chuckles.
"Fuck you." I glare at him.
He puts his hands up in defense. "I'm sorry."
"Here, let's try this." He takes another hit and my eyes couldn't help but focus on his lips as he inhaled.
He grabs my face. "Open." I blush opening my mouth and he exhales the smoke.
I slowly inhale it letting it sit in my throat for a moment before exhaling.
"Good, just like that."
My eyes couldn't help but light up at the praise and I hummed softly in delight. He backs up a bit smiling,
"Good job." He praises me more.
He lets my face go and I felt a bit disappointed, I was kinda expecting a kiss.
We continue to smoke outside enjoying each other's company.
A few minutes later two guys walk outside coming over to us.
"Yo Angelo who's the shorty?" One of the guys ask.
"A friend." He replies.
The other boy walks up to him. "You got anymore blunts? I need a buzz."
Like earlier Angelo digs in his pocket again pulling out two blunts. "Here."
"Wait you had extras and you made us share?" I look at him in disbelief fighting back my embarrassment.
"You can't even smoke properly, I wasn't about to waste a whole blunt on you." He shrugs.
"He always got extras ma." His friends chuckle and I just stood there dumbfounded.
"You're making me look like a pothead Mordecai, go away." He turns to his friends looking annoyed.
"I meannn are you not?" Mordecai chuckles.
The other guy taps his shoulder. "Come on he obviously wanna be alone with shorty." He chuckles.
"Fine fine."
Mordecai turns to walk away and the other guy who's name I still don't know turns to me.
"Don't break his heart."
Is all he says walking away with Mordecai, leaving me confused and Angelo embarrassed.
He rolls his eyes turning back to me. "Sorry about that."
I giggle. "It's okay." I pull out my phone reading the time, "11:23pm."
My eyes widen. "I need to get home."
I stuff my phone back in my pocket about to head inside in search of Maria and Marco but stop remembering something.
"Oh should I come over to your house this weekend or you wanna come to mine?"
I notice his eyes widen momentarily. "Um anything you wanna do."
I look at him confused. "Alright."
"Then I'll come over this weekend so we can start our assignments, thanks for the weed." I smile waving him a goodbye before heading inside in search of Maria and Marco.
