"Hi there fellow skipper." I awkwardly laughed and let my camera dangle around my neck.

He was not amused at all.

"Okay. So uh. I. Um-"

"Shut up Kitten."

"That is very rude Mr grumpy."

"Does my face look like I care." And I did look at his face. Blank. Beautiful.

"Sorry then," I mumbled out and shook my head. "But I brought cupcakes since I wanted to know if you could-"

"No."

"But I didn't even say anything though." I scrunched my nose up.

" Well I don't fuc-"

"Hey, Hey. No swearing. You are not a sailor. I mean you could be if you wanted to be but you'd get sea sick wouldn't you? Well I get sea sick." I cringed remembering when I went on a boat with Aunty Macy. That was not a good day.

"Fine. Where is your car?" How did he know?

"Yes. lets go, would you like a cupcake?" I smiled sweetly at the delights that I had.

"No." He snapped but I shrugged it off, maybe he was allergic.

We walked past Joe, I began humming a tune that suited the moment. Adrian's strides were fast long, I had to skipp in order to catch up with him.

After a battle with myself I ate a cupcake and moaned in delight. "Oh my god, it tastes better the next day." I tell him offering him one and he glares at me.

Finally we stood in front of my cute little Volkswagen, it had a rusty blue colour with a light grey silver rims. Mr Grumpy was talking about how I don't take care of my car. Pshh. He brought some tools and began fixing away. He didn't talk to me once and I frowned a little bit.

"So uh what's your favorite colour?" I chirped out as I tapped my feet on the grass.

He didn't reply, maybe he didn't hear me. " Okay so what's your favourite chocolate? Mine's crunchie. You know the honeycomb one covered in chocolate? Yea-"

"Will you shut up already?" He yelled out as he turned around and I flinched at the sudden noise. I felt my eyes tear up and I watched his cold eyes soften a little bit.

"I-I'm s-sorry, I just.."

He stared at me as I wiped my eyes, pathetic. Geez I am getting so emotional these days. He ran his fingers through his hair looking frustrated. Sighing he says, "It's fine."

* * * *

"Hey girl." Bethany shouted as she saw me on my bed with Alex. The cat just wouldn't stop rolling over. Its been a week since I saw Mr grumpy, he hadn't shown up at school nor was he at the gym. Not that I was stalking him or anything. I had kinda given up on him. Maybe I scared him away.

"Hey B." I said jumping up and ignoring Alex's whines. I launch myself onto her and embrace her into a hug. "It's been too long B. "

"I literally just went to the shop to buy some things." She stared at me weirdly.

"Did you buy me that weird fish thin- what's it called? Su- sushi! Yeah!" I smiled brightly when I remembered the name and got off her.

"Yes I brought you sushi." She says and hops around my room chucking me the flimsy container with 12 pieces of sushi. Yum.

"Don't throw food around." I said as I ripped the tape off of the lid. Grabbing one piece then stuffed it into my mouth. "Fank you." I tried to say thank you but it didn't really work out.

"Yes mom I won't throw food around no more." She rolled her eyes at me picking up one of my sushi's.

It was Friday night and it was traditional that Beth would sleep over at my house since her mom and mine's always had their girly night. The house was empty seeing how dad was doing a late night shift again.

"So what should we do first?" I said as I jumped onto my bed with the box of sushi whilst Alex hissed at me then stalked away.

"Hmm lets watch this movie I found on Netflix." She says grabbin her Mac book out from her duffel bag. Moving over, she squeezed her way into my bed and situated the laptop in between us.

"Oh and I got us this." She bent down and tossed me a bag of sweets. I am not even kidding, the size of the bag was half the size of me.

"What the chum bucket? Where did you get this from?" I said while I put my hand inside taking out a crunchie.

"I stole it." She says and I nod slowly, only then I realize what she said.

"YOU WHAT? YOU STOLE?" My voice screeched out and I heard Alex hiss from the hallway. Had my best friend become a criminal? Already? I mean I knew this day would come, but not so soon.

"Woah calm down Ana, I stole it from Ben." She says as she looked for the movie Bad Neighbors. Apparently it was a really good movie starring Zac Efron and Dave Franco. Hopefully it wasn't R rated like the other movies Beth watched.

I calmed down when I heard who she stole it from.

Ben Sanders was Bethany's older twin brother by 2 minutes and 13 seconds. They competed against each other for everything, Im telling you, if there Becca asks who could clean better they would compete. They just don't know that Becca is just using them to clean the house. She so sneaky. Ben looked like the boy version of Beth. Shaggy blonde chocolate locks, although his were a tad darker, grey eyes that always held mischief. Exactly the same. I remember when we were little he used to shove me into the sandpit, claiming that I had tried to kiss him. Lies. I just really wanted the swing that he kept hogging the whole lunch time.

"Are you sure this doesn't have any R rated scene in here?" I asked quietly as the movie started.

"Yes. Now shh." She smacks my arm and munches on the sweets.

4 minutes and 14 seconds later she shut the laptop. My eyes were wide from the scene that just occured before.

"Holy shi-shillings that was like watching porn." She cringes and pushed the laptop away. I winced at her word choices.

"Remind me to never let you choose the movie." I shake my head and smiled when I saw Alex stroll into my room. He hissed at the sight of Bethany.

"God, I swear your cat is out to get me." She says as she sees him before getting up. They never did like each other.

Alex jumped onto the bed and meowed at me before plopping himself at the end of the bed. He stared at me with his green cat eyes, analysing me.

"Ooh I know what we can do tonight. " Bethany says before tucking her Samsung back into her pocket. She walks towards my closet which had a poster of a grinning Flynn Rider on it. I giggled when I saw the poster. It was a picture of Flynn winking, so cute.

"What do you have in mind?" I finally reply stroking Alex's coat. He purred under my touched and I smiled.

"We, my friend are going to a party." Bethany twirls around wiggling her eyebrows. Beth usually spent her weekends at parties. She threw a bunch of my dresses on the ground. Dang it, now I have to clean that up.

"I don't think I am allowed B." My parents didn't like the image of the teens today, well so did I. Drinking, smoking, drugs, and all those bad things.

"C'mon Ana, do something reckless for once." She drops the clothes in her arms and walks closer to me ignoring Alex's hisses.

"B-But Bethany, I might get in trouble." I pick at my nails before lifting my head. I didn't like getting in trouble. It felt bad. Sneaking out I mean.

"Okay how about we go only for a hour? And if you don't like it we can leave. Plus we will make it back in time. Also Reece wants you there." I grin at the mentioning of Reece, don't worry I don't like him. He's one of my closest friends. I mean sure when I was younger I had a bit of a crush on him, but that died a while ago.

Smiling I give her my response." Okay lets do this." Even though I feel guilty.

* * * *

I grinned at my reflection. I was wearing a lacy blue sleeveless dress. It had cut out triangles around the waistline leaving my bare skin exposed. I felt a bit self conscious. It had a white collar attached to it. The dress stopped just above my knees. Bethany had bought it for my birthday last year she reminded me. My face was left untouched except for my peach lip gloss. I didn't look half bad. My honey brown hair was left in it's natural curls. I felt like me.

"Thank you Bethany." All of a sudden I was shy when I gazed at her. She wore a white bodycon dress that emphasized her curves. Around the waist line was a sheer piece giving people a look at her flawless skin. She had dark smoky eyes that definitely made her piercing grey eyes stand out. Her lips were painted a ruby red colour. She totally oozed with confidence. Her straight blond locks framed her narrow face nicely.

"You look gorgeous Ana, damn that dress really brings your eyes out. It looks so blue. Come here." She beckons me with her narrow finger making me giggle. "Woah, I wish I had your eyes, they're so cool. It's so bright with a little bit of grey in them."

"Thank you Bethany, but I adore your eyes. They're so stormy." I giggle as I stare into her eyes.

"Okay enough of this, if someone were to come inside here they'd think we're lesbian. And trust me honey I prefer the D." She moves away and smirks at me before slipping her shiny black heels on.

"Bethany!" I gasped lightly and slipped on my shiny white flats. I'm really not handy in the heels department. Trust me.

"Come on my lover." She yells out dragging me, and I rolled my eyes grabbing my purse.

* * * *

"Who's house is this again?" I yelled over the music, even though we were outside, it was excruciatingly loud. My ears were ringing, it almost felt as if they were going to pop off soon. I looked around as we stepped out of Bethany's car. The front of the house was decorated with beer bottles and soda cups. We walked down the pathway and I noticed a girl puking on a boy. Gross, see they make a bad image.

"Jasper. He is a total hottie. What I would do to him if we were alone." She says dreamily. As you can tell Bethany doesn't really like the idea of a boyfriend so she spends her time hoping from one to another. I know it sounds bad but she just has trust issues with them.

"Oh okay. " I mutter softly as we enter the massive house. Jasper apparently is one of the most richest kid in our school, so I wasn't really surprised when I saw the mansion like house come into view.

"Ready?" She asked me with a gentle smile. I nodded and then she dragged me into the crowd. I felt so claustrophobic in the small space everyone provided for me. Girls were dancing on boys. Everyone was drinking beer or something. The music was pounding against my ear. A couple of guys stared at me like I was some eye candy but I just smiled at them. I didn't want to offend anyone even if it was creepy.

We were walking to the kitchen when I got tackled into a warm hug. I smiled once I smelt the familiar scent of Reece. Pulling back I grinned at him. With light brown shaggy hair that fell flat on his forehead and blue eyes, my friend was a total looker.

"Hey Annie. Didn't think you would come. And you look very pretty." He said in my ear since I wouldn't of heard him if he talked from a distance.

"Thank you Reece, and you look very handsome tonight." I grinned out and waved my hands around making him laugh. I turned around for a moment to say something to Bethany but I saw her dancing with some guy.

"Awh, stop it darling." He feigned a giggle and made his voice higher than needed. "Come, let's get you a drink." He pulled on my arm to lead us. On the way a couple of the football players said hi to us. Another thing I forgot to mention, Reece was the star quarterback of our school. I kinda envied him, since he could play sports.

Only cause you can't do any physical activity.

"What would you like Annie?" He pointed at the different varieties. God there were so many different bottles of alcohol.

"Can I please just have a glass of water?" I asked shyly before looking at him beneath my lashes.

Laughing he nodded, "So how is your first party going?" He passed me my glass and I took a sip.

"Mmm," I didn't realise how thirsty I was before this. "Oh, it's going great thank you. " I wasn't about to tell him how I would rather go home and watch Tangled with Alex.

"Good. So lis-" He got cut off by one of his friends.

"Bro, James got into a fight." The dude yelled at Reece and stormed off. Reece sighed before putting his beer down with force that made me flinch.

"Sorry Annie, I gotta go, stay here though. I don't want you to witness this." He shook his head before running out the door. I took a sip of my water, even though the curiosity was burning through my veins. I really wanted to see this fight. Every time there was a fight at school, Reece or Bethany would make sure that I didn't see it. I don't understand though. I wanted to see if it was like the movie fights.

I stared at the door, hoping that it would force me out, so I could see it.

Do it Ana.

No, he told me to wait.

What is he? Your dad?

U-Um no.

Exactly! Do something Reckless!

Great I was talking to myself. I giggled softly before placing my glass in the sink. I slowly walked out the kitchen as if someone was watching me. I kind of felt like a spy.

The music was softer compared to the roaring of the people. I watched everyone form in a circle making me wonder who James got into a fight with. Apparently James was a really physical drinker, well that's what I hear from Bethany.

I walked closer trying to ignore the guys that were trying to latch onto me. I shuddered as they came into contact with me.

"Excuse me? Can you please move to the side?" I asked a random dude politely. He grunted at me before moving to the side. I finally got a good look at the fighters.

I gasped at who I saw.

It was thee Adrian Miles.

Great now i'm speaking as if he was noble knight.

Adrian Miles was pounding his fist into James's head. It was almost as if I saw it was in slow mo. When his fist came into contact with James's jaw, his saliva was shooting out. The crimson liquid was running down his face. Intense.

I gaped back at Adrian. Flawless. Not a trace of blood on his face, I squinted my eyes and saw that he was sporting a nose ring. Hot.

His punches were effortless just like the ones in the gym. His face completely blank as if he wasn't attempting to kill someone. His eyes were dark under the lights making me shiver, even though he wasn't directly looking at me. He wore a plain white cotton tee. The plain white tee hid the tattoos I knew that was behind it. But his arms were covered with beautiful tattoos that had me drooling. He was merciless.

"Miles! Dude stop, you're gonna kill him." Reece interfered and signalled a couple of guys to pull Adrian away from the limping, beaten up James. I cringed as I saw his swollen face, awh the poor guy.

After about 2 minutes Jasper came into the circle. He pulled Adrian back and whispered something in his ear and Adrian stopped. I watched James sigh in relief as Adrian stormed upstairs leaving everyone gaping and scared.

It was scary and dare I say it cool! It was just like the movie fights.

Am I a bad person if I thought that?

"OKAY SHOWS OVER!! CARRY ON, WE'RE DOING STRIP POKER IN THE 3RD LOUNGE!" Jasper yells out making all the girls drool. He then winks at them before heading to the 3rd lounge. I mean who even has a 3rd lounge?

The party resumed and James was carried to the bathroom by Reece and his friends. I looked at everyone and giggled trying to shake the fear from the recent scene.

Hoping that no one would notice me, I did the craziest thing I could have done tonight.

I went upstairs hoping to see Adrian Miles.
