SCARLETT'S POV
I've only made one friend in the past week of being at this school.
Grayson Dolan.
turns out he's ethan's twin, which makes sense considering they look extremely similar to one another. but grayson is different. he doesn't give off that "arrogant asshole" vibe, unlike ethan.
on my first day of school he walked into lunch after me, sitting across the table from me. I was sitting all alone with my earphones in until he walked up.
*back on the first day of school*
(still scarlett's pov)
I sat at the lunch table all alone. I acted like it didn't bother me to be more of a loner. but, deep down it kinda hurt. I sighed and put in my earbuds, playing my rock playlist on spotify. the first song to come on was 'I Get Off' by Halestorm. I played around with the food on my red school lunch tray with my plastic fork when I saw someone sit across from me through my peripheral vision.
I looked up to see a boy in a 1975 black tee shirt and black adidas pants. his hair was slightly pushed up and put up to the side with gel. he had a single dangly earring of an angel wing. he smiled at me with his straight white teeth before speaking. when all I saw was his mouth moving, I realized I still had my earbuds in.
"I'm sorry, what?" I spoke ripping out my earbuds.
he slightly chucked before speaking again. "hi, I'm grayson. what's your name?"
"uhh, Scarlett." god why am I so awkward.
"well nice to meet you. I saw you sitting all alone so I figured I'd come introduce myself. plus, it looks like we have similar interests." he smiled without teeth, point to my metallica shirt.
"heh, yeah.." I mumble.
"what are you listening to?" he tries to keep the conversation going.
he picks up my earbuds and puts it in. he nods his head to the music for a few seconds before taking it back out, placing it on the marble looking table.
"halestorm, huh?" he asks.
"yeah.. I love them honestly. and metallica, obviously." I motioned at my shirt, trying to be a little less awkward.
"like I said, similar interests. so what's a pretty girl like yourself doing sitting all alone?" he smiled cheekily.
"oh, uh, well. I'm new here. It's my first day." I blush, pushing a strand of my brown hair behind my pierced ear.
"don't worry, I'll keep you company at lunch. it's not that bad here, I think you'll make friends fairly quickly." he gives me a reassuring smile. I return the favor.
*end of throwback*
he kept his promise, he has kept me company at lunch. he's really sweet and grunge like me and we just click. I'm thankful I actually have a friend.
my phone dings, snapping out of my thoughts. I reach over beside me on my bed, unlocking my phone.
ethan: hey, will I see you at the party tonight?
shit. I totally forgot about it. I think for a second before texting back, "I guess so. what should I wear?"
after I sent it, I realized how stupid I just sounded asking a guy what to wear. but, I mean I have no girl friends at the moment so I at least need someone's opinion. my phone goes off once more.
ethan: something that'll keep you cooled off. ;)
I narrow my eyes at my screen, reading the text.
cheeky bastard.
I leave him on open and walk to my closet trying to find something to wear. I decided on a black low cut dress that showed cleavage. I paired it with a body chain along with some necklaces.
I check my phone and see that it's 5:30pm. while I'm at it, I text ethan and ask him for the time and address since he never sent it to me. I throw my phone back down and walk to my bathroom. okay, time for makeup.
I throw on some powder, concealer, winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow, mascara and red lipgloss. I fill in my eyebrows and spray on some mac setting spray. I mean it's a party, why not be a little extra?
I simply straighten out my natural waves with a flat iron before brushing my teeth, putting on perfume and deodorant. I walk back to my bed, sitting down. I pick up my phone and see a message.
ethan: 672 creekside dr. starts at 7. hope to see you in what I said to wear ;)
I purse my lips and lock my phone, leaving him on read once again. I'm not gonna lie, he's extremely hot. I honestly wouldn't mind if he took me in his b-
wait, what am I saying? no. he's an asshole.
I huff and lay back on my bed, letting my mind wander. after a few minutes I sit back up and go to my closet again. I pull out some black 3 inch heels and put them on.
I grab my phone and small handbag before walking out the door. I was home alone, like always, so it's not like I had anyone to say goodbye to.
I dig for my keys and start the car. the party doesn't start for another hour, but I was bored out of my mind sitting in that house. so I decided to grab some food before the party.
I drove through the drive through at zaxby's, ordering a cobb salad and iced water. I didn't want to drink tonight on an empty stomach, but I also didn't want to fill up on greasy foods.
I pulled into a parking spot and peacefully ate my food. once I finished it was now 6:45, so I began to head to the address ethan had sent me earlier.
I drove down the road, blaring pvris and singing along to the lyrics. before I knew it I was at my destination. I parked down the block, not wanting my car to get wreaked. walking closer to the house, I heard the booming music.
I probably looked like an idiot being all by myself, but I didn't let my nerves get the best of me. I walked through the already open door and immediately saw drunk teenagers everywhere.
and when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere.
boys had girls pushed up against the walls with their tongues down each other's throats, people deadass asleep on the floor, people playing beer pong, and I think I even saw a dude puking by the stairs. gross.
I made my way through the sweaty bodies, finally making it to the kitchen. I poured myself a mixed drink and downed it quickly. I'm an extreme lightweight so I was already feeling fuzzy.
I stepped outside and lit up a cigarette, easing my nerves. I took a drag when I felt a hand go over my eyes. I froze before hearing a husk voice in my ear.
"hey pretty lady." the boy spoke, brushing his lips against my ear.
I turned around and was faced with ethan. he smirked at me. I probably look all bug eyed right now at what just happened. he grabbed the cigarette from my hand and took a hit.
"gross, what is this?" he coughed.
"it's a black menthol, pussy." I smirked.
he chuckled before stepping closer to me.
"I prefer smooths. but, you look absolutely stunning. I see you chose to wear what I said." he smirked once again.
I nodded and bit my lip.
"don't do that." he said watching my lips.
"don't do what?" I asked innocently.
he continued staring at my lips, jaw clenched when I heard a group come out behind ethan.
"yo, dude! come inside we're taking shots." his, I assume, friend motions at him.
"see you later, princess. you know where to find me." ethan winked at me before walking off, into the house.
I was completely baffled by what just happened. what was he staring at me like that? why didn't he want me biting my lip? just an all around, what the fuck?
I sighed and continued smoking, before going back inside to get another mixed drink.
