"I don't feel like it's highlighting my body" Amy commented looking at the mirror with a pout. We were now getting ready at my house to go to the party. Amy is going with the boys since I was able to blackmail Aiden.

As to me, Emily, Selena and Nate we are going in Amy's car... well her parent's car, and somehow she managed to make Wellington to be our driver back home.

"It's not highlighting your body because it's barely covering it up" Nate mentioned while applying some makeup on and making the whole room laugh.

"Stop being meanie" Amy pouted seating in my bed

"You look great Amy. But maybe you should take a coat it's not that hot outside" I proposed

"And cover these two heavenly blesses?" she asked while bouncing her boobs making me chuckle

"I don't want you sick" I replied

"Sure Mom"

"Everyone's ready?" Emily asked smiling at us

"Yes!" we exclaimed. A loud rhythmic knock followed, I got up knowing it was my brother.

"Yes?" I asked opening the door a bit

"Is she ready?" Aiden asked referring to Amy who was arriving at the party with them

"I AM! I AM HERE!" she screamed opening the door forcedly while fixing her boobs in that small crop top.

"Ok. Then we are leaving" he announced. After they left we followed them to the party, and I was sure the moment I saw Amy's face that my blackmail scheme was worthy. She was on cloud nine having such a great moment, not to mention how shocked everyone was when they saw a plus one on the boy's jeep.

"She is more than happy" Selena laughed watching Amy leaving the jeep while recording the moment probably to show her followers

"I am glad my sacrifice compensated" I joked

We walked inside watching Amy have fun but once inside the house the boys let her go "Well- it was the best ten minutes of my life " Amy smiled

"Let's drink to that!" Nate exclaimed guiding us to the kitchen. We were in a big house, right before the entrance hall there were some stairs filled with people already, the living room was the first thing to meet once we walked through the entrance, it was a big and cozy living room that had turned into a foggy and loud party room.

The kitchen wasn't that filled with people, mostly a few people making drinks and others talking. I looked outside watching the neon lights from outside catching a glimpse at the pool which was filled with mostly girls with almost no bra.

"A tequila shot to begin the night!" Nate cheered as he poured tequila into out glasses. Once he was finished we toasted and drank the tequila, followed by some ugly faces.

"Ok!! Lets go! Who wants beer?" Amy questioned looking our for the beer keg and filling some cups

" I want !" Selena cheered "Me!" Emily and Nate joined

"I prefer something stronger" I said in a disgusted face as the taste of beer ran through my mind. Gosh, if there was something that I hated was beer, it wasn't good and I am pretty sure that I won't ever like beer. Just the smell of it made me want to vomit.

I took a red cup filling it with tequila and orange juice, and just like that we had a simple tequila sunrise.

"I want this too" Nate said taking the bottle of black vodka with him, we followed him outside to the pool and we took our time to relax, have fun, dance and drink... drink a lot.

- few shots and drinks later -

"You know I love you so much Amy!" Emily exclaimed

"I love you to Em!"

"But I hate you because your perfect boobs!" Emily yelled

"I hate you because you have a perfect blonde hair!"

"You are so cute!" Emily yelled while puting

"No... you're cute" Amy insisted, both started to cry enveloped in each other making me laugh

"Aly! You are way too sober! Bottoms up!"Nate said while handing me a drink, I smelled it and I flinched at the awful smell...absinthe.

"Thta is awful Nate!" I said in a disgusted face

"Stop being a pussy and drink it" he laughed I rolled my eyes took a deep breath and drank the absinthe shot. The terrible taste was lingering in my tongue making me want to spit the whole shot out, and not letting it pass through my throat, I felt like if it reached my stomach I might vomit it all out.

"No! Be a good girl! Swallow it! " he grinned placing a hand on my chin so my mouth was closed and I couldn't spit out.I rolled my eyes at his choices of words and swallowed the absinthe. Gosh who invented this-

"Luke!LUKE!LUKE!" my thoughts were interrupted by some cheers nearby the pool. I looked over as did everyone and my eyes landed on Luke, my brother's friend, doing a keg stand with Jaden and Cameron holding his legs.

"He is still handsome, even upside down" Nate commented looking at Luke

"Hm-" I hummed watching the three guys

"Oh you have to admit it he is handsome"

"Sure"

Nate rolled his eyes at my monotone comment. "There's more beauty than Chase Baron, Alyssa. You need to wake up!"

"Well I prefer Chase" I commented happily when my eyes landed on him. He was at the party I had seen him already but I don't have the courage to talk to him...

"You are still under his spell after 6 years it's ridiculous" Nate commented making me giggle

"Let me be happy"

"I will let you be happy but not deluded" Nate remarked "You had a thing for him since he helped you on 4th grade" I smiled at that thought "Are you still thinking about it? You are ridiculous"

It was 6 years ago. I was young and clumsy like always. I was heading up to class running since I was late, the corridors of the school were full of kids entering their classes already and I was running past them as fast as I could.

But in the middle of my running, my foot got stumbled on my other foot making me lose my balance and fall to the ground, the books were spread across the hall, my knees were bledding and the laughter of the kids was penetrating in my ears, the embarrassment took the best of me and like a ten-year-old I started to cry my heart out, making other kids laugh even more at me.

That's when an angel from above appears in front of me, helping picking up my books and also helping me stand up properly. I will never forget his words 'Don't cry, is not worthy. Everything is fine now' and truth was I really felt relaxed and fine with him.

I have had this celebrity crush on him since and time only helped me to grow my crush because he turned out to be a hot surfer but like I said I just watch him from affar and it's enough for me, its not like I am in love with him or something like Nate make it sound like it.

I have to admit, time was really nice to him. I bet he doesn't even know my name our remembers our first and only meeting.

"Hey!" Nate exclaimed snapping his fingers in front of me "Are you done of reminiscing your past?" he asked making me nod "you look crazy... why don't you do something ?"

"With who? Chase?" I asked making Nate nod an obvious yes with his head "Nate you know that I can't, plus he is way out of my league?"

"He is? " Nate looked at him with an unease face "I think you're out of his league"

"You're being generous"

"I am being realistic. Go there and talk to him"

"About what?" I asked already nervous while Nate pushed me through the crowd

"I don't know ... waves? What do surfers like?"

"I am not really good at talking"

"You are the most fearless person I know and you can't talk with a surfer boy? Please... "

"I am not really comfortable with this, you know he is the type of guy that knows me as Aiden's little sister!"

"Do you only want to be Aiden's little sister?"

"No..."

"Then go meet the popular surfer guy"he pushed me through the crowd and we stopped once we were near Chase. I kept nodding a no with my head signalling Nate to not do anything. However my begging did not result, when I realized Nate pushed me making me bump into Chase startling him, when I looked again Nate wasn't there.

I put on an angry face due to Nathan's behavior, but I suddenly regret it when Chase looked at me with a dumbfounded face. "Uh- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. It was -"

"It's ok." he throw off his prefect smile "are you ok?" he questioned.

"I am, thanks" I smiled shyly, the silence set in as he kept looking into my face examining it.

"I know who you are" he smiled "Alyssa" he mumbled my name making my heart beat faster, he knows my name "Aiden's sister right?" he questioned making me nod, well at least I'm not Aiden's little sister, that's an improvement I guess.

"That's me" I said in a straight smile, familiar iwith being my brother's shadow

"Right! The clumsy and cute girl I helped picked the books in the middle of the hall" he said looking into my eyes with a small smirk on. I can't believe he remembers it.

"That's me" I blushed hearing him calling me cute on loop

"I see you are the same" he commented
"still clumsy..."

I frowned my eyebrows as he didn't continue the phrase "Not cute?" I blurted out... oh god what am I doing

"Yes" he paused eyeing me up and down "and pretty"

As I felt my cheeks turn red... I was wondering if it was the absinthe or his words.

"Thanks" I murmured shyly

"See... still cute even when you're shy" he chuckled

"I see you're a bit cheeky now" I commented

"I always was. Do you think that my help gesture was just polite? I was secretly flirting with you..." he said making me chuckle...

"And here I was thinking you were just being a gentleman"

"What can I say- I am many-sided" our conversation was very fluid, funny and with some flirty comments here and there but my attention was pulled from Chase when I see a blonde known face smiling and talking with one of the quarterbacks. Regina Adams was here and that could only mean one thing, my brother was a mess.

I rolled my eyes and mentally cursed myself knowing the right thing to do would be to check on my brother and leave this golden opportunity of talking with my crush "Chase- I need to just check on my brother for a minute"

"Am I bothering you?" he questioned with puppy eyes.

"No, no- I will return I just need to check on him, Aiden and alchool were never a great combo"

"I understand... I will wait for you" he smiled making me only harder to leave him but I had to. I walked among the crowd trying to see my brother or any of his friends...gadly they aren't hard to see, Cameron was shirtless on top of a ping pong table dancing and yelling the words of the song playing.

"Cam!" I called trying to catch his attention "Cameron! CAM!"

"Alylili! There you are come dance with me" he said extending his hand totally drunk

"No thanks! Where's Aiden?"

"Who?"

"AIDEN"

"With Mason somewhere outside on the road"

"On the road?" I asked but it was useless because he got back to dancing. I walked outside looking out for my brother a bit worried all because of Regina Adams.

Who's Regina? Probably my brother's first love. She was a pretty popular cheerleader girl, she was a very pretty blonde, she was on the same class as my brother, he wasn't really looking for something stable. My brother always had some sort of pride in being a fuck boy, he had no attachment or what so ever. He was a free bird... then she came. It was all funny games at the beginning but then things got serious, they were referred as the cutest and most popular couple on school, my brother loved do be adored by everyone but things got complicated when Regina kept telling him they weren't a couple and she didn't want any of that besides of his attempts to begin a serious relationship.

To everyone on that school they were officially a couple but on the inside things were different, so one day she got tired I guess. She went to a frat party and some people saw her kissing some guy, the word spread and so did the photos on every social media. My brother saw it and was a total chaos because he realized he wasn't just happy for them being popular but he was actually in love with a her, the saddest part is that Regina clearly knew about it all long... everyone knew it but my brother... see stupid like I said.

He drank so much that day, that he entered an alcoholic coma. Thankfully it wasn't that bad since he woke up on the next day, but that was a big scare that he played on us. My parents never discovered what really happened that day, but till this day talking about Regina makes him go insane.

I just hope he hasn't seen her — but once I saw him on the ground I knew that he did.
