Today was the biggest party of the year, the white party. The rules were simple — no white, no entry. Any hint of color and you were turned at the door.

Whoever came up with the idea watched way to many re-runs of gossip girl and white chicks but I wasn't complaining.

"Only you could make an oversized blazer and stockings look good." Sade complimented Rhegan as she looked at her figure in the mirror. Sade was wearing a white mini dress with lace detail and an open back.

Yes, she did buy those jimmy choos and she was rocking them.

Lizzy strutted into the bathroom looking a few inches taller, showing off her sexy smooth legs in her white mini skirt.

"Can you zip me up please?" Skylar waltzed over to me and turned around. I zipped up the open backed jumpsuit before she turned around and planted a fat one on my cheek.

"Ok i'm done." Rhegan announced as she put her deep red lipstick on the counter. "Finally."

"You take ages to get ready." I groan standing up and grabbing my phone. "It takes time to look this fine." She sang motioning to her body.

"I can't with your ass, Rhegan." Jora laughed as we existed the room. "Don or—" Jora didn't even get a chance to finish asking the question as we all shouted out Don.

It's Don or nothing baby.

"Cheers bitches." Skylar says as we all clink our glasses. My brows bunch together as I make a face at the taste of the liquor. Expensive liquor is just as nasty as cheap liquor.

"Your tits look great by the way." I tell Rhegan as we walk out of the house. She had on a white lace bustier bra underneath the blazer . " Your ass looks even better." I felt a sharp sting on my ass from the slap she gave it.

"You and Lizzy are going to start making welts appear on my ass." I joked as we entered the elevator. "Right. You're going to end up having a permanent Lizzy sized hand print on your ass."

The white party was hosted at one of the rich sorority girls family home in bel-air this year. Each year a different person hosted it and each year it was at a different location.

Last year some genius decided to host it on a yacht. Alcohol, drunk college students, and a yacht didn't really mix well seeing as someone fell overboard.

No one got hurt though, surprisingly.

We pulled up to Carina's home and walked through the entrance. As soon as we entered we were offered champagne. "Oh that's the bougee stuff." Skylar scrunched her face up in disgust.

Like I said — the expensive stuff is just as nasty as the cheap stuff, maybe even worse. It may taste smoother and have better quality but it's just as nasty.

We made our way through the party making our rounds, saying hey to people here and there before walking towards the bar. "Dirty Martini , extra dirty, and three olives please." Rhegan ordered her usual.

"Can I get a wet martini, three olives ." I order as a tattooed hand grabs my waist .

I turned around to find Carson dressed in all white— looking fine as hell, I might add. His tattoos really popped out due to the lack of color he was wearing.

"Nice shoes...and toes ." He smiles down at my freshly done white painted toe-nails. "Thank you. Some rich asshole brought them for me even though I didn't ask him too." I furrow my brows towards him as he chuckles.

"Just accept the nice gesture, damn it."

"She can't." Sade chimes in as the barkeep passed out our drinks."She has a problem accepting hand-outs."

It's not that I have a problem accepting them , I just always feel the need to pay the person back or give them something in return.

"I could tell." Carson says as he orders a whiskey neat.

Just as I was about to ask Carson a question , some bitch pushes me out of the way and starts feeling him up. Rhegan's brows shot so far up her forehead before she turned and called the bartender.

"Hey Carson." She purred as he scrunched his nose up in disgust. "Uhh, hey." He says quickly and turns around to his boys, completely dismissing her.

"Did this bitch just push you out of the way?" Elizabeth asked as she came up next to me."Sure the fuck did." I mumbled out. We watched her try her hardest to get Carson's attention.

My eyes then flickered back to Rhegan who had a glass of red wine in her hands. I looked towards Skylar who was trying to hide the smirk appearing on her lips.

We all knew what was about to happen and it wasn't going to be pretty.

Carson looked completely disinterested in what the girl had to say. Rhegan walked past him and then "stumbled" spilling the glass of wine on the girls dress.

"OH MY GOD." Rhegan gasped out, hand covering mouth. "I am so so sorry. I get so clumsy when i've had one too many."

If you knew Rhegan, you would know that that was a straight up, bold faced lie. The girl knew how to drink— she was not a light weight.

"Oh shit." Abel chuckled as the boys turned around to look at the scene.

Now would be the time where you call Rhegan a bitch, but like I said — Rhegan was not to be fucked with when it came down to the people she loved.

She would be that one parent that would drag her kid to a bully and allow them to get into a fight.You'd better believe she would be kicking ass right along side them.

"My dress." The girl screeched as Carson covered his mouth with his wrist and let out a chuckle. "That dress was two seasons ago." Jora mumbled under her breath before sipping on her vodka on the rocks.

"You bitch." The girl shouted drawing more attention to the situation. She lifted her hand and was about to slap Rhegan until I stepped in.

"Unt uhh. No ma'am" I tutted stepping in front of the girl as Rhegan egged her on.

"It was an accident." Lie.

"She didn't mean to pour her drink on you ." Another lie.

"So if you put your hands on her, I'm not going to hold her back when she beats your ass." The girl scoffs slightly before she stomps past me."You'll pay for this bitch."

"Oh!" Sade exclaims,"She must not know."

"Is that a threat?" Rhegan asked stepping towards her,"because if it is you better act on it. I'm the queen of threats baby girl, give it your best fucking shot" she whispered just loud enough for the people surrounding her to hear.

"You have a nice night now." she pulled away smiling as the girl huffed and turned on her heels.

"I don't know if I should thank you or call you a bitch." Carson laughed as he came up next to me again.

"Both." We all answered for him.

"I may be a bitch but at least i'm not straight up rude. She pushed past Yaya like she wasn't even standing there. No ma'am, no ham, no fucking turkey. That's unacceptable." Rhegan nodded her head as I throw my arms around her.

It was starting to get darker and music took a turn. Skylar dragged us to the floor as soon as she heard "wild thoughts " come on.

"I don't know if you can take it ." She yelled at the top of her lungs as she grabbed my arms ."I know you want see me nakey, nakey, naked ." I yelled back as we danced together.

Elizabeth came towards us and started dancing ... on beat surprisingly. "Get it Lizzy with the glizzy." I hyped her up as she started moving her hips along with skylar's.

I came up with the nickname while we drunk one night and she just so happened to be eating a 7/11 hotdog . Thus, the name Lizzy with the glizzy was born and stuck ever since.

"You know these cookies for the baking." Rhegan and Jora yelled at the top of their lungs.

Right now we were the only people on the dance floor and we didn't care that almost everyone's eyes were on us. This was us in our natural habitat.

Sade had grabbed my hands and we began to dance together as we sung to the music. Then Skylar got even more rowdy when work came on.

"The DJ must have read my mind ." She yelled out as she began to move her hips to the song.

I bent over and began to grind on Sade. "Single Yaya is a whole new fucking person." Jora yelled as I stuck my tongue out at her and just let go.

I felt like a new person , a free person. I never would've said this out loud, but I always felt that Edwards was a weight dragging me down. I haven't had this much fun in such a long time.

I was lost in the music that I didn't realize a different pair of hands gripped my waist and a something very hard was pressed into me.

Oh.

My body tensed but then let loose once I smelt the familiar scent of Bleu de Chanel waft up my nose. I interlaced our hands as we danced together. I was the happiest I'd been in a long time.

The girls were right — Single Ayanna was a new person.

"Oh great." Kyler groaned as we turned around to see Skylar pulling the girls to a dance floor. "They just had to put on Rihanna."

"What's wrong with Rihanna?" Rookie asked with raised brows.

"Skylar literally worships the women ." Marcus spoke and then stopped talking when we snapped our heads in his direction.

At this point , I had already figured out that something was going on between Marky Mark and Skylar. Kyler on the other hand, hasn't.

I don't think he would be pissed about Marcus and Skylar being together or doing whatever the fuck they are doing. What he would be pissed off about, is the fact that they are hiding it. More so at Skylar since that is his bonded person for life.

"How do you know that?" Kyler squinted his eyes at Marcus almost accusingly.

"You've seen the girl at parties when she comes on." Marcus quickly points out, saving his ass. It was no secret that Sky would push people out of the way for Rihanna.

It was kinda ...scary.

Kyler shrugged his shoulders as we turned back around to see the girls grinding up on each other. "Shit." Dominic groaned looking straight at Rhegan as she twerked on Elizabeth.

He's had a thing for her for the longest time even if he won't admit it out loud, but I know him. He wasn't even down bad. He was down atrocious at this point.

"Just ask her out already." I nudge him. "I will when Abel asks out Elizabeth." Abel's head shoots up and sends a scowl towards Dom,"I'm working on it."

"Well work faster. There's a dude that's walking over to her right this second." Rookie lied, making Abel snap his head towards the 5'8 blonde.

"Fuck off rookie ." Abel turned his head back around towards us." This should motivate your ass." Marcus spoke nothing but facts.

Elizabeth was a beautiful girl and guys would practically drool over her, but she never paid them any attention because she's had eyes on this idiot. " When she's had enough of your shit and moves on, I don't want to hear a damn thing." Kyler warned." Not a whine or cry."

Abel shook his head as he gulped the rest of his beer down,"If you must know, I plan on asking her out tonight before we leave ."

"Sure you are." I drawl out in amusement as he flicks me off. "I am."He shakes his head as if he was convincing himself.

"It's not fucking rocket science dude." Haze says.

Deciding to move on from this topic of Able being a pussy , I asked," What are you guys doing over Thanksgiving break?"

"My dad is having his new girlfriend and her daughter over for dinner." Dominic said as he finally turned to us. " How do you feel about that ?" Marcus asked.

Dominic's adoptive mom died just before we entered freshman year of college. He took it hard because she was the first women to show him a mother's love. I was just glad that he didn't spiral down a dark hole, and grieved the healthy way.

"She seems to be making him happy. I haven't seen him smile and truly seem happy in a while."

I was happy to hear that. Jax was like a second dad to me since I basically spent all of my time between my house and Dominic's.

"Skylar and I are getting dragged to our grandparents house in the south." From Kyler's frown I could tell that he was not too happy about that. I've heard some crazy stories about what happens when both sets of grandparents are in the same room.

It wasn't pretty.

"Good luck with that." Abel snickered. "I'm going to my dad's this year, mom gets Christmas."

Abel's parents went through a nasty divorce two years ago so he made them split holidays. They alternate every year, that way he won't have to pick and choose who to spend the holiday with.

"I'm headed to Boston." Marcus loved his family. He really did, but they refused to let him take his own path in life.

If they had it their way , he would've been shipped off to MIT instead of USC. Marcus was stupid smart, but his dream wasn't to own a tech company or cure cancer. He wanted to play ball. He had to practically beg them to let him come to USC.

"I'm getting dragged to Spain," Haze sighed. "My mom has been nagging me about how her family hasn't seen me in ages."

I scrunched my brows up in confusion," Didn't they come down when win we won states."

"My point exactly." He whined. We all shook our heads, silently laughing at Haze's dramatics.

"What about you ?" He asked me .

"I think we're going to Dom's this year, right?" I ask and he nods his head. Ever since his mom died we would spend the holiday's together.

"It'll make meeting my father's new girlfriend more tolerable." he nodded his head.

The song changed to yet another Rihanna song and our heads turned to see the girls still grinding on each other. " Help me, Jesus." Abel mumbled as Dominic mumbled his agreements.

"I'll see y'all later, yeah." I finished off my drink and walked towards the girl who has been on my mind the last few weeks.

"Take notes Creed." I heard Marcus say as I walked towards Ayanna.

Elizabeth tipped her chin towards Sade as Jora yelled something to Ayanna. Sade looked behind her, a smirk formed on her face as she backed away and let me take her place.

I placed my hands on Ayanna's hips as she continued to dance to the song. She jumped realizing that it wasn't Sade behind her. I felt her body relax when she somehow realized that it was me and interlocked our fingers together.

I turned my head to see that Abel had enough liquid courage in his system and was dancing with Elizabeth. His palms laid on the small of her back, a little bit above her ass. Elizabeth leaned forward as he whispered something in her ear.

When she pulled back she was nodding her head with a excitement on her face. " It's about damn time." She smacked his shoulder.

Abel shook his head before grabbing her chin and placing his lips on hers, kissing her pink lips, once, and then twice before she pulled away and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Nah uh, rookie." Sade shook her pointer finger as Haze tried to make a move on her. "Come on, Sade." He begged, bringing out the puppy dog eyes. "It's just one dance."

Sade was quiet for a second before she let out huff. "Fine."

I looked around to see Kyler and Jora awkwardly standing beside each other as they nursed their drinks.Rhegan and Dominic were now at the table that we had just left, talking.

Dominic flashed her his winning smile and she was quick to look away. She spotted Jora and tried to make her way over there but Dom was faster. He grabbed her waist and pulled her against her chest.

Rhegan was still as she listened to whatever smooth bullshit he was whispering into her ear.

"They're so cute." Ayanna mumbled watching our friends. "Rhegan will act like she doesn't want him to make him sweat a little bit though."

"That'll only make him want her more." I laughed.

Dominic didn't give up without a fight. Hell, he hasn't even talked to another girl since the game a few weeks ago.

We watched as Rhegan bit her bottom lip and nodded before pushing him away from her. Her attitude changed from giving in to get the fuck away from me in .5 seconds.

Skylar and Marcus were no where to be found.

"Told you." Ayanna turns around and places her arms around my neck. I stare down at her as she sways to the music. "And what about you?" Her brows furrowed in confusion.

"Are you going to make me sweat?" I clarify.

"Are you going to give me a reason to make you sweat?" I didn't even to think about an answer.

I wanted this friends with benefits because I like Ayanna. But I don't want her rushing into another relationship so soon after her last one.

I want her to be ready for me.

"No." I answer truthfully.

"Then no,"she tightens her grip around my neck. "I'm not going to make you sweat... not in that way anyways."

Fucking tease.

"Oh really." I pull her closer to me, out of the corner of my eyes I spot Skylar coming from around the corner wiping her eyes. "Oh shit."

I look around and see Marcus coming from the same corner. It looked like he was sniffling as he rubbed his nose.

"Fuck." I groan out. Ayanna is already looking at Skylar." I'll be-" "I'm go-" We spoke at the same time before nodding and going to our friends.

I walked up to Marcus and pulled him into the corner. "What's going on?" I ask as he kicks the trash can, bottles and trash fall out.

"We decided to take a break."He sighed, running his hands through his hair. "My fucking parents man."

"It's always about what they want but never about what I want. I have this girl that i'm head over heels in love with, but I keep putting them

before me and her."
