It was around 6:00pm and Dean's birthday party was in full swing. Music was blasting through the house as people rushed in and out of the house.

The whole place was beautifully decorated with disco lights and balloons, the work was done so beautifully that one wouldn't believe that it was done be Stella with little help from Dean, Mary and Kayode who came back from his "group assignment" while they were still in the mall shopping.

The sitting room which is now the dance floor is filled up with teenagers dancing and having fun as they drank to their fill.

Stella was in the kitchen packaging the gift bags that is to be shared amongst the teenagers along with Mary.

"Is that all the gifts aunty" Mary asked Stella who was leaning on the kitchen counter after closing the last bag.

"Yes my dear that's all. Now go have fun with your mates." Stella beckoned Mary out of the kitchen.

"Okay ma, if you need help with anything else please call me." Mary said before she walked away.

"Such a hard-working girl. My friend is doing a good job bringing her up." Stella thought with a smile.

Mary walked through the dance floor bumping shoulders with people as she searched for familiar faces around. She finally saw Angela talking to kefas at the side and smiled as she hurriedly made her way towards them.

She saw Angela turn in her direction and waved at her eagerly. Just as she was about to reach them she saw a guy running towards her and before she could walk out of his way he pumped into her and they both fell forward with him falling on her body.

Mary felt her eyes twitch in anger as she felt a heavy load on her body, she looked down and glared at the boy who fell on her.

"What are you looking at? Do I feel like a bed or couch to you? You fool?" She yelled as she smacked him on the cheek.

By now so many eyes were on them as the boy gave Mary a hurt look and slowly stood up.

"Are you waiting for me to beg you before you help me up after making me your fucking bed!?" Mary glared at the boy from the floor.

He shook his head and stretched out his hands to her. She placed her hands in his slightly larger and cold hands.

Mary shivered at the cold feeling as he helped her to her feet, he dragged her forward with a little too much force and she fell forward straight into his arms. The boy instinctly wrapped his arms around her to prevent her from falling as he staggered backwards.

"Get your filthy hands off me you pervert! How dare you grope me in such a way!" Mary yelled as she forcefully pulled away from him.

"I was just trying to prevent you from falling" the boy explained

"Really! Well I wouldn't be in that position if you only know how to properly help someone or how to walk and not run in a hall filled with people!" She hissed at the dumbfounded boy.

"What's going on here?" Mary felt a warm breath on her neck as Dean whispered the question in her ears.

She turned around and glared at him. "First of all never come so close to me again and this is none of your business!" Mary hissed and walked away.

She angrily walked up the stairs to the room Stella assigned at her and plopped down on the bed.

"Stupid stupid idiotic boys!" She yelled in frustration and threw a pillow at the door just as it was opened by Dean.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Dean asked with a scowl as he held his nose.

"For coming Into my room uninvited". She replied with an eyeroll.

"Last time I checked this is my house so I can go wherever I feel like and whenever I want" Dean replied with a smirk.

"How about I tell your mom that?" Mary replied with a mocking look.

"Bitch" He muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?" Mary glared at him

"What you heard or are you suddenly deaf?" Dean replied

"You are the deaf one hobo" She angrily rhetorted.

"Whatever and I'm here to warn you to respect my friends. The guy you slapped and insulted earlier is Samuel my friend and he might have spared you but I won't if anything like that repeats itself" Dean warned and walked out of the room without waiting for her response.

Mary glared at the door in disbelief and anger. "That fool! How dare he say that to me? He should be warning his useless friend who can't seem to be able to keep his miserable hands to himself. And he even has the right to say I slapped him? I should have beaten him black and blue or even hit him where the sun doesn't shine so I'll know I did something worthy of getting yelled at. Stupid boy, idiot and that Dean....arghhhhhhh!" She yelled out in frustration.

Angela was walking up the stairs looking for Mary when she saw Dean walk out of a room. She held her breath as he passed by her without sparing her a glance. She breathed a sigh of relief as she hurriedly walked to the door and knocked.

"Who is there?" Mary yelled

"It's me Angela" Angela replied.

"And what are you waiting for outside? A written invitation?" Mary replied

Angela felt a smile make it's way to her face as she opened the door and walked in. She looked around the room and hummed in appreciation of the design as she sat on the bed beside Mary.

"Mind telling me what you are doing in a room at Dean's house? And why he just walked out of said room?" Angela asked while wiggling her eyebrows.

"Stop doing that! And this is my room, remember what I told you about our mom's being bff's?" Mary said.

"Oh yes, does that mean you'll be staying here from now on?" Angela excitedly asked.

"What? No! Why would I do that when I have my own house? And why is the idea somewhat so appealing to you?" Mary replied with an arched brow.

"I was just imagining how you and Dean living in the same will be. What a sweet drama it will be" Angela giggled as Mary glared at her.

"Joseph the dreamer keep imagining ooo" Mary replied

"It's not my fault I have a colourful imagination. Now stand your lazy ass up let's go have some fun!" Angela yelled.

Mary laughed at her cute behaviour.
