Alyssa PoV:

We drank the shots and not long after people started to barge in and fill the house. My friends were already having the time of their life while I patiently waited for Chase, but my peaceful waiting was interrupted by my brothers friends.

"C'mon Alylili! Play with us!" Luke pouted

"No, thank you! I'm fine here" I said sipping the diet coke on my cup while waiting patiently on the soft couch

"Just a simple game" Cameron insisted

"I don't think so" I muttered

"Look at Mason! Even Mason wants you to play" Luke pointed at Mason who was leaned against the kitchen aisle with some girls next to him

"Yeah I can see it" I said analyzing Mason's face

"Oh you want it don't you, Mason?" Luke questioned caughting Mason attention

"What does it matter if I do?" he spoke in such a harsh manner like he was upset at something "she'll lose anyways" he said shrugging his shoulders and playing off a small smirk on his face while grabbing the ping pong ball.

I snorted at Mason words, but I couldn't deny is words kept replaying in my head.

"Don't say those things about Aiden little sister dude!" Luke warned and before he could say anything I stood up from the comfy couch.

"I would like to play " I said looking at Luke, he gave an excited smile and grabbed the ping-pong ball from Mason's hand.

"Let's play!" Luke exclaimed giving small jumps of joy and organizing the red cups over the table so we could play and win this freaking game.

I put myself next to Luke, it was us two against Cameron and Mason. For some reason Mason's words and posture were getting the best of me and leaving me very competitive.

" You know how to play this right?" Luke questioned me before we start

"She knows" Mason mumbled with his monotone voice

"I do"

"Ok!" Luke exclaimed excitedly " I go first then Cameron then you and then Mason" he explained while positioning himself for the game.

I noticed I was just about to start a game of beer pong with the famous guys at school and everyone was watching us, the pressure felt upon me and I realized I was with the main centers of attention, however, all that worry was washed over when Luke screamed "YES!"

"One down! Your turn, Cam!"

The ball fell inside one of their red cups, Cameron took the ball shaking the rest of vodka on the cup and drank the shot effortlessly.

"Ahhhh" Cameron shook his head while finishing the drink and looking fiercly at Luke.

Gladly his try was in vain and he failed the cups, it was finally my turn. I took a deep breath glancing at the famous cups, my eyes drifted for small moments at Mason, who seemed to be having much fun at this, his smirk was making me furious. Was he mocking me? Thinking I can't do this? Who the hell is he?

I shook my head trying to not be angry right now and prove them I can actually do this. So I looked down at the red cups, I took a deep breath, and I throw the ball carefully hitting the table and jumping again falling right into... a cup!

"yes!" I exclaimed

"YEAH!" Luke jumped while everyone cheered with him "Looks like someone knows how to play" he said side hugging me and giving me a kiss on my head

"Or it was just luck" Mason mumbled as he drank the shot without effort or making any weird faces, he looked at me right in my eyes, and just like that with his eyes on me he throw the ball falling in one of our cups.

"Ohhhh" the crowd cheered for the adored team as my face of disgust started to appear

"C'mon Alylili... we cannot let them win this! Bottoms up!" Luke said as he handed me the red cup. I drank it quickly while angrily looking at Mason, he didn't know but he just began a war, because I'm very... extremely competitive! - that's the side effect of having siblings.

"She is down to business! Damn Aly! "Cameron shouted impressed

"Lets do this!" I said fiercly looking at the cups of their side.

I guess they realized I wasn't joking when I kept hitting all the cups, Luke and Cameron kept missing ones but Mason was a good match to my consistency, that wasn't good... since everytime he hit the cup I had to drink and vice versa. I am quite tolerable to alcohol but I hate to admit that it damages my aim.

We were able on the final cup and I was almost preparing myself for my victory if I got this one right I would win and I would smash it onto Mason's and Cameron's ridiculous faces!

"You can do it Aly c'mon !"

"Aly!"

"Aly!"

"Aly!"

At that moment everyone was cheering my name, well half of it but it was still mine. It was definitely better than Aiden's sister I could finally be recognized by - Aly, the girl who defeated the popular guys at beer pong.

It's not a bad name if you think about honestly at this point, everything is better than Aiden's little sister.

"Aly!"

"Aly!"

So as I heard the cheers I got myself some courage to flick my hand and softly launch the ball but a small chuckle from the other side of the table made me lose balance and drop the ball too early. Everyone wached the ball travel to the other side of the table in small jumps, it all seemed to be played in slow motion. The ball jumped into the last cup, traveling around its edges and finally hitting the sh- THE TABLE?

What?

"Oh no! It was so close!" Luke deseperated

"Are you kidding me? That should've got in!" I said revolted

"We are done" he fake cried

"What do you mean? He might miss it" I said still with my hopes up but Luke gave a sarcastic laugh accompanied by a small tear... yes, he was already drunk.

"Miss it? It's Mason... he never misses. He is like an incredible beer pong machine" he explained as he said those last words I heard the splash of the ball onto the liquid inside the last cup of our side making everyone scream and cheer Mason and Cameron's name.

I looked in defeat at Luke, he had a pout on making him look like a toodler. "Thanks for being my partner this was literally the farthest I ever got against Mason..." he said while placing the red cup in front of my face

"He is that good?" I groaned side looking at the golden beer pong boy who was receiving all types of congratulations

"He is... well... it's life... more of the same... LETS PARTYEEEH!" Luke said screaming and lifting his arms up taking everyone with him for the dance floor. I looked at the red cup in my hand while doing a disgusted face, I hate the taste of losing, and right now that taste was a mix of all types of alcholich drinks all in one.

"Not accepting defeat?" I heard an annoying voice say from the other side of the table making me realise that everyone left.

"You're a sore winner, I see" I commented looking at the liquid one the red cup

"And you're a sore loser" he said making me lift my head and look directly at him, he was no longer on the other side of the table he was now in front of me looking at the cup I held. "Bottoms up"

"You are really annoying" I commented making him shrugh his shoulders

"I have my days" be smirked

"And what is that? 7 days of the week"

"How would you know? You aren't with me that much time"

"And... thank god I'm not or I would go insane and drunk" I said looking at the cup

"Can't handle your liquor?" he asked making me gulp, I usually don't get tipsy or drunk even, I'm pretty good handling my liquor. I am not a lightweight, I am basically the mom at parties, I am the one that helps all the others to find their coats and send texts to their moms, I'm the one who reunites and takes care of the group by the end of the party. But for some reason, this weird shot mixture was taking the best of me and I was feeling touched, I knew if I drank this last shot I would be a mess in the next 30 minutes.

"I can"

"Good"

"Good"

"Go for it"

"I will" I debated trying to push him away so I could put this down the kitchen drain but he was challenging me and I knew he wouldn't leave till I take this shot.

"Great!"

"Yup!" I said as I slowly took the cup to my mouth, I saw his hand getting closer to the cup probably to force me to take everything but someone was quicker taking the cup out of my hands and drinking it all.

"Ahhh... woo that is strong!"

"Chase?" I said in surprise watching him just saving me from the devil, isn't he cute?

"Did I make you wait too long?" he asked

"Uh no? I was just playing beer pong"

"You finished"

"Uh yeah"

"Great... I can steal you then! " he gave a soft smile and handed the red cup at Mason, which didn't seem that pleased but I couldn't understand that well since Chase grabbed my wrist and pushed me all the way through the crowd till the dance floor, wich was in fact the grass outside.

"Thanks!" I said truthfully once we stopped in the mist of the sweaty and mostly naked dancing bodies.

"It's okay, I saw you uncomfortable I knew I had to barge in," he said smiling while taking his curls behind his ears. Gosh, he was hot...

"Thanks again" I smiled shyly, we danced for a bit and laughed while he kept saying the most cute things in my ear, damn did he knew how to flirt.

"Gosh you are the cutest when you look shy" he laughed as he took his hand to my cheek brushing it slightly making me felt unease

"Your skin is soft" he giggled as I moved my face out of his hand

"Thanks- are you drunk?" I questioned him as I realized he kept smiling at me

"No... I just think you're really pretty"

"Ok..." I smiled a little

"And I think you're cute "

"Okay" I smiled more

"And I think... I really want to kiss you right now" I stopped smiling, his eyes were stuck in my lips and I didn't know what to do. Did I wanted to kiss him?

"You do?" I asked taken by surprise

He nodded happily and grabbed one side of my face pulling me towards him. And like I had no business in the matter he kissed me.

His lips fell upon mine without a warning and I waited till the butterflies come. I was having all sort of mixed feelings, this wasn't my first kiss... my first kiss was on a wardrobe after choosing a dare when I was 12. I have kissed before...a few times... and I was just waiting for it, waiting for those butterflies.

And as I kept waiting, time passed and he pulled me away making me frown, this was just a simple peck but I hidrate my lips often... so the problem isn't mine.

"What's wrong?" I asked trying to catch his eyes but all I could see was his hand covering his mouth. Is he about to vomit? Is he that repulsed by me?

"I don't feel good" he said and as I catches his eyes I saw his pale skin and weird eyes. I grabbed his pulse imeddiatly pushing him towards the crowd to the outside, I didn't even try to go to the bathroom because I knew it would be occupied by someone possibly doing everything but using the bathroom correctly.

I took him outside... maybe the fresh air would help. Once we were outside he walked and sat down on the ground his back supported by the small stone flower bed that my parents had on the front yard.

" I am a little bit tipsy like Kesha..." he giggled sitting down, even drunk he was cute

" are you better?" I asked taking a good look at him, he was such a lightweight...

"Not at all" he snorted while looking at his hands. I frowned to myself, was he hallucinating... was this all just from that one shot that he took from me?

My mind was distracted by one girl laughing and walking inside my house she was adjusting her shirt and skirt while she had a smile on. Followed by her was the guy I least wanted to see now or at any time to be specific.

I was praying he ignored us and walked away following the girl in front of him but my prayers weren't loud enough.

"So... what happened to your hero?"
