"Nothing really, just life" I say, and I hear him hum.

We spend the rest of the afternoon like that, laying on top of each other looking at the sky talking pretty much about nonsense, just enjoying each other's company.

"So, how long has it been now?" Angel asks while getting out of her car

"Erm, about two weeks" I say looking at the date on my phone "Nope, three actually"

"And you aren't mad?" Angie carefully says

"Why would I be" I nonchalantly say closing the car's door.

"Maybe because he ghosted you?" she answers

I hadn't heard from Clay in almost three weeks now, but he didn't owe me anything. We were not really friends either, we hung out two times.

"Yeah but I cared until half of week one, now, I don't give a shit" I say once again.

Truthfully, I was kind of mad, what was his deal? Get all nice and comfortable just to drop me off at my house and disappear off the face of the earth?

"I don't buy a single thing you are saying, but ok" Angie says while squinting her eyes, earning an eye-roll.

"So, where are we partying today" I say

Angel quickly looks over at me and starts to celebrate "Yey, finally, it's boring going out alone"

After the second time Clay saved me from a disastrous night, I didn't feel like partying much, so I've been staying home since.

I grab my phone and unconsciously go back to our chat.

Clay<3

thank u for today, had a blast

just lmk when ur free and we can go to the beach:)

seen

Did I do something wrong? Maybe he didn't want to see me anymore, but he could've just said so what the hell is his problem.

As I get inside the house to go and do some school assignments I hear his voice.

"Clay?" I shout

I follow his voice into one of our common rooms. There I see another member of our sorority sitting on a couch watching a Minecraft gameplay.

'C'mere Sapnap' Clay's voice erupted from the t.v

"Oh give me a fucking break" I say a little bit too loud.

"Huh?" Amy says diverting her gaze from the tv towards me

"What are you watching?" I ask

"Just a minecraft youtuber, his name is Dream I think, I found his channel not long ago and I'm obsessed" she says.

"Well he looks like an asshole" I say a little hurt.

"Do you know him?" she asks

Shit

"Uhhh, no why would I? I mean he is from Florida but that's it we never spoke, I have never seen his face and yeah because he hasn't shown it yet" I say

"No but- I meant it as in watch his videos..." Amy says looking very confused.

"Nah, I don't do... uhm- Minecraft?" I say

"Right, so... I'm going to get back to the video, nice talk though" Amy says turning back around

That couldn't have gone any worse.

Once inside my room, I lock my door and sit down on my desk determined to get some schoolwork done.

I take my notes out and start going over them, I get distracted quite easily but I'm reading something for my Economy class so it's not too bad.

I suddenly hear a knock on the door, and a very angry Angel shouting behind it.

"What?" I scream not wanting to stand up

Between a lot of shuffling I hear a loud "Open"

I groan and get up to finally see what the heck she wants now.

Once I finally unlock and open the door I am greeted by Angel being all dolled up. She stares at me blankly and then it hit me.

I check my phone to see the time and see it's already 9 pm. When I look back at her I smile and try to close the door, but she puts her hand on it stopping me from doing so.

"We are going with my car, please be ready in the next 15 minutes or i'm officially going to lose it" She calmly says. I just nod not wanting to say anything dumb and upset her even more.

I quickly go over my makeup and clothes and make my way down the stairs to see Angel standing next to the door.

"Sorry I took a bit longer" I say

"Don't worry, I said 15 minutes knowing you'd take 30, I just like messing with you" she says

I roll my eyes and walk outside to get into her car. The party is at my brother's frat house so I'm kind of nervous to go back there after the incident.

The drive there is usually pretty short but we had to pick Jacob up so we took a bit longer.

Once in the house I am immediately greeted by my brother, who's not in his best state.

"Hellloooooo thereee little sis" he shouts while giving me a big hug

"Hey there Jake" I say returning the hug

"Is the blond dude coming as well?" he asks

"Who?" I say

"The one who picked you up from that party the other day" he explains.

Fuck. Me.

"Not really no, I haven't spoken to him since" I answer

"Do I need to beat him up?" Jake says

"Well, if you are able to locate him..." I stop when I see his expression turn into an angry one

"I'm just kidding, he didn't do anything I was joking"

"Right" he says quite unsure "Just let me know if you need me to do so ok?" and I nod

I'm immediately pulled away from Jake and dragged to the alcohol table with Angel

"So, you are getting drunk end of story" Jacob says

"When did I agree to this? No" I say

"I know you still think about Clay, just, come on I don't know why he affected you that much, you knew him for like half a day" Angel rightfully adds.

She was right, I don't know why I got so frustrated on the idea of him not contacting me anymore. I barely knew the guy.

As she begins to walk away I grab her by the wrist say "You know what, you are right, pass me the bottle" she immediately hands me a bottle and I drink from it, not bothering to mix it with anything.

I was feeling quite tipsy already, and being tipsy makes me bold, so I grab Angel and get on the dance floor.

I know I will get more drunk as the time passes because I know how this works, the vodka still hasn't had it's full effect on me.

While messing around with Angel, I see a tall brunette guy staring at me, I look back at him intrigued and that's when he noticed me staring back.

He looks down, then back at me and turns around to go to the kitchen. Instinctively, I leave Angel behind and follow him.

Once in the kitchen I can't seem to find him, maybe he went outside or-

My thoughts are quickly interrupted by a presence behind me, I turn around to face this mysterious guy.

"Hi" I simply say, encouraged by the few shots of vodka I had on me.

"Hi there" he answers

Now, with a bit more of light I can see his face more clearly, he is handsome and has brown eyes and hair, very different from Clay.

However, I can't see myself getting lost in his eyes just like I did with him.

Feeling bold I ask "Why were you staring at me earlier"

"Well, I like to look at pretty things" he answers.
