The first thing I felt when I woke up was, pain. My head hurt. No, scratch that; it was throbbing violently. My eyes slowly peeled open only to immediately close as I winced at the instant pain the beaming sun brought me. 'What the actual fuck happened last night?' I groaned, rolling over, pushing my face into my pillow. My eyes slowly began to close again when my door suddenly smacked against the wall making me whine out involuntarily as it caused another sharp pain to fill my head.

"Rise and Shine my little princess!" Miles shouted far too enthusiastically for the dreadful pain I was feeling. I grunted wanting him to shut up. "Does someone have a hangover?" he chided, teasingly. Again, I grunted in return to which he chuckled. "Maybe next time you'll learn to not drink so much."

"Stop being mean," I whispered, lifting my face from the pillow but keeping my eyes closed.

"I'm just talking to you." He snorted.

"Shh."

"No thank you. It is, however, time to get up so let's go."

"I think I'm just going to stay in bed all day but thanks," I whispered.

"It's three in the afternoon cupcake, you need to get up and eat. On second thought, shower first and then eat. You go get the shower started and I'll bring up some Tylenol and water for you. K?"

"Do you I really have to?"

"You do unless you want my mom coming up here before she leaves for work which is in about an hour."

Groaning, I pushed my blanket back and slowly began opening my eyes. .I winced in pain, slowly bringing myself to sit up. "I hate you." I grimaced, looking at a bright-eyed, smiling Miles.

"Oh Sweetheart, you wound me." He raised his hand to his heart.

"Fuck off." I smiled, shaking my head. "Shit." I groaned, , grabbing my head. "I'm never drinking again."

"That's probably for the best."

"What's that supposed to mean? I don't even remember drinking enough alcohol to get drunk."

"Is that all you don't remember?"

I looked over to him, fear seeping through my body and the all-knowing smirk that had suddenly graced his lips. "What do you mean is that all I remember?"

"Well, I mean, you got drunk." He shrugged.

"No duh, you dipshit." I deadpanned.

"Why don't you go take a shower and whatnot and then we can go out to breakfast and I can inform you on all of the interesting things that happened last night."

"Why can't you just tell me what happened?"

"Oh I can, you just reek of cheap liquor and I'm tired of smelling it."

"Fine asswipe but as soon I'm done you're telling me everything."

"Sure. Just make sure to hurry up, I'm hungry." He urged, making himself comfortable on my bed while he pulled out his phone.

"I will, just no jerking off on my bed."

"I make no promises." He smirked causing me to grunt in disgust. Ignoring him nevertheless, I shut the door, wincing at the bright lights. I started the shower, making sure to turn it the highest temperature my body would be able to handle. I quickly stripped my clothes off and stepped under the scalding water, flinching slightly as it hit my cold skin. Soon enough, I had finished ridding myself of the awful stench of alcohol. Stepping out, I wrapped a towel around my body and made my way back into my room, ignoring the boy who was, quite enthusiastically, playing candy crush on his phone. He paid no mind to me as I quickly grabbed some clothes and headed back to the bathroom to dress. I chose a grey sweater and a pair of black skinny jeans along with my white Vans. I didn't bother doing anything with my hair, aside from running my fingers through it quickly in an attempt to pull any knots from it.

"You ready to go buttface?" I asked, throwing my wet towel at a still distracted Miles. I smiled as it landed on his face.

"Ew!" He squealed, throwing it onto the floor and sitting up. "That touched your vagina."

My nose scrunched in disgust. "You're so vile sometimes."

"Says the girl who threw her vagina towel on me!" he huffed, shoving his phone into his back pocket.

"It wasn't a vagina towel."

"Did you not dry your body off?"

"I did."

"And is your vagina not part of your body?"

"It is but, It's not like I flossed my vag with the damm thing and even if I did; it's clean."

"Still gross."

"You ever sucked a dick?"

"What?" He asked eyes widened.

"Have you ever gave someone a blowjob?"

"Uh, yeah."

"So, you're trying to tell me that you've put someone's penis in your mouth, yet the fact that the towel I used to dry my clean body off and not specifically my vag is gross?" He opened his mouth and closed it in an attempt to come up with something to say. "S'what I thought. Now can we go? My head still hurts and I need some caffeine."

"You're lame." He mumbled, climbing off the bed. "Let's go."

"Well look who's finally awake." Nico smiled.

"Yeah, yeah. Watch out, we're going to get food." Miles urged, waving him out of the way.

"Food? I want to go. Can I go? Pretty please." he begged.

"Only if you stop whining like a little wank," Miles grunted.

"Woah, what crawled up your chonies?"

"Your vagina towel." He smirked.

"Would you let that go? It wasn't a vagina towel."

"Vagina towel?" Nico echoed, confused.

"What the hell is a vagina towel?" Sutton questioned, walking up from behind me causing me to jump.

"Why are we talking about vagina towels? What even is a vagina towel?" Milo asked.

"Did I just hear someone say vagina?" Kai came out of nowhere.

"Vaginas?" Parker said.

"Vaginas." Beau reiterated

"Can everyone stop saying vaginas." I sighed, wondering why the hell this was even happening right now.

"Technically you just said it again," Nico argued.

"Can we just end this whole conversation?" Miles asked.

"Yes, please. Let's go." I urged.

"Go? Go where?" Parker asked.

"Yeah, where are you going?" Beau and Kai said together.

"Yeah, me too!" Nico practically shouted causing Miles and I to look at him.

"We already said you could Nico, why are you yelling?" I questioned.

"Oh. Yeah, sorry. I got a little too excited and was pulled into all of the hype." He shrugged making me shake my head.

"I don't care who comes, I'd just like to leave at some point," Miles interjected.

"Okay then, let's go. Who's cars are we taking?" Sutton asked.

"We'll take mine and Miles," Beau muttered.

Everyone agreed and began to make their way downstairs. I climbed in the passenger seat of Miles car, much to Nico's displeasure. Soon enough we had made it the small diner down the street. We filed in quickly and loudly, seeing as the boys never knew how to talk at an indoor level or behave like normal people for that matter. Luckily for us, the only large booth in the far back was free and we promptly slid in, me, somehow being in the very middle of all of the boys. Nico and Beau were sat on either side of me, thighs touching as they squished me between the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Sandra and I'll be your waitress today. What can I get you all to drink?" I girl, no older than eighteen, with long brown hair and caramel skin, smiled shyly; I'm assuming by the various attractive boys surrounding me.

"Orange juice."

"Hot chocolate."

"Chocolate milk."

"Lemonade."

"Sprite."

All of the boys began shouting their drink order out, the poor girl attempting to scribble out everything in time.

"Woah, woah, woah." I snapped over them making them all shut up instantly. "She can't hear all of you at once. No everyone wait their turn. We're going to go around the table starting with Sutton. Apologize too."

All of them mumbled a sorry. "Thank you. Now go ahead Sutton." and one by one, they all waited their turn and politely order their drinks.

"So, are you ready for me to tell you what happened last night?" Miles asked as soon as the waitress left.

"Wait, you don't remember what happened last night?" Nico giggled.

"Not a single thing," Miles answered for me causing Nico to giggle like a little girl again.

"So, I'll start from the beginning, yeah?"

"Uh, I guess," I mumbled, slightly worried about what he was going to say.

"So, we noticed you dancing with Piper when we first got there, which you're pretty good at if I do say so myself. Anyway, that was that and we all kind of went our separate ways and whatnot. Then a while later, we found you with Alex upstairs and he was annoyed, as usual, but was trying to get you to come with him. Which you were refusing and singing Mambo Number 5 in bursts, you know, between Alex snapping at you to stop. Anyway, Nico ended up singing part of the song with you and as per usual, Alex got fed up with everything and threw you over his shoulder."

"Oh." I sighed in relief. "I mean, the whole singing things embarrassing but it's not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be."

"Oh no, that not the end," Miles smirked. "So Alex threw you over his shoulder and then you started shouting about how rude it was of the unicorns to flip the world upside down or something." I covered my face, embarrassed as the boys chuckled. "Then you let Alex know that he had a nice butt and continued to ask him if he did squats."

"No, I didn't." I gasped, mortified.

"Oh, but you did. Not only that but you reached out and pinched one of his ass cheeks whilst you commented on how firm it was."

"Oh my god." I cried, my entire body heating with embarrassment.

"Then you said he smelled yummy and continued with, 'I could just eat you up like a box of candy. Maybe licorice. No Snickers, Snickers are my flavorite.' and then went on to name which candy you liked and whatnot.

At this point, everyone was laughing and I was bright red, wanting the floor to open up and swallow me whole. I could never face Alex again. Of course, all of the things I said were true, he did have a nice butt and he did, indeed, smell good but it's not like I ever wanted to let him know that's what I thought. Nor did I ever intend to pinch his butt. Oh my God, I can't believe I did that.

"Would you all quit laughing." I groaned.

"We're sorry Mase but really, you squeezed his butt." Parker weezed out.

"You all suck," I muttered, laying my head on the table.

We had all finished eating and were now on our way home and they had yet to let up on the teasing. Stupid boys. I rushed out of the car as soon as the car shut off, doing my very best to ignore the mean, giggling boys trailing behind me.

"Oo, Alex. You're so cute." Sutton squealed out in an attempt at a feminine voice.

"Oh Alex, I love your firm butt." Miles followed.

"Oh Alex, you're so dreamy." Kai squeaked.

I whipped around, tired of their constant teasing.

"Oh Alex," Nico began but instantly stopped, looking past my head. "Alex." He swallowed, eyes widened slightly.

My stomach dropped instantly, my eyes widening as my body refused to turn around.

"Why the fuck are you all in here squealing like little girls and saying my name?" Alex grunted.

"We were just talking about last night." Sutton defended.

"No, I thought we were teasing Mason," Nico spoke up, confused causing all of the boys to look at him.

I bit my lip, my head lowering to focus on my scuffed up shoes wanting this to all be over.

"Do you seriously have nothing better to do?" Alex deadpanned.

"I mean, you have to admit, it's funny," Beau argued.

"And what about the time Nico got drunk and tried to kiss Beau because he thought he was that girl he liked? Or what about when Sutton and Parker got so drunk they puked on each other and then continued to sleep in it. Oh yeah and the time that Miles made out with the tree in the front yard because he thought it was Zac Efron."

Miles choked at Alex's words. "Oh shut it. We all know you're gay Miles. Even mom and dad know, so quit acting like it's a big secret." Alex rolled his eyes annoyed. "Anyway, I have a ton more stories about you dipshits and all the embarrassing shit you've done so I'd quit while you're ahead and shut the fuck up. Yeah?"

They all nodded, silently. Milo looked to me, "Mase, I'm-"

I cut him off. "You know what. It's fine. I'm just going to go up to my room and rest for a bit." I mumbled out quickly and pushed past the circle of boys that had surrounded me. I ran up the stairs, praying that none of them would follow me. I was embarrassed beyond belief and although I wasn't mad at any of the boys because let's admit, I would've found it funny had it not been me who had done it, I really just wanted to wallow in my self-pity and embarrassment.

I had just made it to my door when I felt someone behind me. I knew exactly who it was by the incredible smell that had suddenly surrounded me.

"Alex," I muttered, goosebumps rising on my skin as his breath brushed over my shoulder.

"Mason."

"I just,"

"No need. I think you have a great ass too." He whispered and pressed a soft kiss into the crook of my neck before continuing to his room.
