Suddenly it felt like he was just inches away, so close I could smell his cologne, his alcohol breath fanning my face as he looked down at me.

I furrowed my brows slightly, slowly getting angrier at the fact that I'm going to continue getting black mailed all because he isn't into her.

"No, and I don't really care to be honest." I snapped, moments after I took the entire bottle of vodka with me as I walked away.

When I got back to them, they all -except Kaeli, she was looking at the vodka, licking her lips- eyed me in a weird way (i couldn't really read their emotions because they were a mixture of anger, curiosity, and envy.)

"So? What did he say?" Tiffany said finally breaking the silence.

I felt like doing his all mighty smirk at how she has such hope In him saying yes...but I decided not to because that would just make my life worse.

"He said no." I said, realizing I could have just lied and said 've said yes' but no...I mean that wouldn't work anyway since knowing Gray, she would trot over there and kiss him...not like I care but how he would react would show that I told the whitest lie ever.

"How could he...?" Gray sighed and pouted...but that pout quickly turned into a scowl as she turned to me snapped, "Its your faullt!!"

I rose a brow, "And how is that?"

"BECAUSE HE LIKES YOU BETTER!!!" She shouted so angrily, she got saliva on my right cheek.

Oh for the love of...

"Now now, Gray don't be causing a bunch of drama, especially since he is like, right over there, just a few feet away..." Nicole interfered...and I feel like this will be the only time that I'll be mentally thanking Nicole.

Kaeli took one more swig of the vodka, before Nicole swiped it away.

"Don't get drunk too quickly...We still haven't played any drinking games..." she said while grinning evilly before walking away, us trailing behind.

"Well I'm not taking any part in it." I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest, narrowing my eyes my eyes at the beverages.

"Yeah, well, We'll see about that..." Nicole said while turning to someone playing beer pong.
"Move." she snapped, and he turned around heavily intoxicated and at the sight of the host, Nicole, he started wobbling off...making sure to fall and pass out in the middle of the living room.

Nicole turned to everyone, a ping pong ball in her hand, "who's going first?"

"Oooh i-" Kaeli started speaking but got cut off by Nicole.

"I heard Kenzie. C'mon Kenzie." She threw the king king ball at me, which if I was too busy in thoughs, it would have whacked me in my forehead.

"No." I said bluntly.

"Okay..."

I made a confused look...
Is she actually going to let me not do it?

Nicole walked to the middle of the room, next to the passed out intoxicated guy from earlier.

I dropped the ball on the counter as they started to follow her, me trailing behind.

"SOMEONE GET THE KEG STAND!" Nicole shouted and almost everybody either turned their heads or randomly passed out on the ground.

"Ooo...who is doing the keg stand?  Can I do it? Can i? Can i?" Kaeli sounded like a child asking their parents if they can eat all their Halloween candy in one night.

"Our friend here, Kenzie...is doing the keg stand."

I suddenly became alert when she said that I was doing the keg stand.

I wouldn't dare do a keg stand.
Keg stands are basically the easiest way to get drunk...and if your really unlucky, alcohol poisoning and death...
I honestly actually don't understand how they even have a kegstand in The first place, I mean, This is a high school party, not a college party.
Honestly, the only way I would do a keg stand was if I wanted to die.

"I'm not doing a keg stand." I spoke in an annoyed tone as a guy brought over a keg stand.

"Oh really? You got out of the last one. This is a make up for not doing the beer pong." Nicole snickered.

I should have known that Nicole wouldn't let me get off the hook with beer pong...
It's Nicole, And Nicole is my enemy...And enemies don't let each other off the hook.

That is unless they fall in love with each other, like how it happens in romance books on wattpad.

"I can't just do the beer pong?" I snapped...obviously knowing that she most definitely will say no.

"No."

Not surprised by the answer I looked at the keg stand, then back at her, "well, then I'm not doing it."

She tilted her head, evil in her eyes, as she spoke "I guess you don't have to...I mean...unless you want to be exposed?"

"It can easily be exposed if I get drunk, so how is this even a fair deal?" I crossed my arms, angrily, staring back at her...she did nothing else but grin widely as before speaking...saying,
"That's the whole point!"

I gawked at her evil plans of making me a drunken idiot that will expose my ownself...or get organ failure from all the sudden alcohol going into my clean system.

"You going to do it?"

I glanced at the keg stand, then back at Nicole.

I basically have to choose between not doing it...and getting exposed...or do it, most like get sick, And risk exposing my own self If I get too drunk.

I nodded, "Fine, I'll do it..."

I walked closer to the keg, now noticing that there was a crowd of people surrounding us all...

I put my hands on the keg stand, i stood there waiting for them to lift me up...
Nicole pushed me up with the help of Tiffany.

I closed my eyes and before I knew it I felt myself upside down, the blood from my body rushing to my brain...my mouth on the knob.

I chugged, quite slowly so that I don't get drunk too quickly, and honesstly I feel fine.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." Was what everyone was counting upward to see how long I could chug it.

Probably a minute in...i heard nonsense going on between a male voice and Nicole and Tiffany.

"Put her down!"

They only listened when being told a second time which was when the dropped me to tumble to the ground.

Real nice...cause a concussion and organ failure...
Totally could have just put me down on my feet.

I went to get up but before I could, someone grabbed my arm...
And they started dragging me away.
