A whole two weeks passed by and classes were regular. The first two weeks and I only talk to Marco in my class, Luke hasn't bothered to talk to me. He said hi like twice last week, but that's it. I don't know, I guess that's his way of doing things, he lies to a girl, leads her on, then completely dumps her. I can't believe I was stupid enough to fall for that.
It was friday today and Lizeth invited me to go to Ash's for a little get together, she said just us two, Ashton, Michael, and calum. I guess Luke wasn't going, but honestly I don't care, I don't want to care.
"You ready?" Lizeth said while she grabbed her bag and put on her shoes.
"Yup," I grabbed my bag and went to the door. I was wearing some ripped jeans, a thin, light blue V-neck and my converse.
We headed to Ashton's place and Lizeth just walked in, so I followed after her.
"Glad you guys came, I was thinking of just having a movie night?" Ashton said.
"Sounds fun," I said and we all headed to the living room where Michael and Calum were sitting.
"What's up girls?" they said and we greeted them back.
They went to rent some movies, get pizza and wings, and get beer I'm guessing, me, Lizeth, and Ashton stayed back.
"This past few weeks have been so stressing, I really need a drink," Ashton said and Lizeth agreed.
"Luke just texted me, he's on his way, he'll be here in 10 minutes." I swear I stopped breathing for a second.
"Awesome," Ashton said in excitement but I just stayed quiet.
"Hey Michelle, want to learn how to play ping pong?"
"Sure," I smiled at him and he guided me to his ping pong table which they also use for need pong.
"Okay I'm gonna teach you the basics," he smiled and came next to me, with one hand grabbing mine and the other leaning against my waist.
"Okay Lizeth, you start." He hit the ball then when it came to me, Ashton moved his hand to hit the ball back.
"Awesome!" Ashton complimented , then the door opened. We all turned and saw Luke leaning against the door frame.
"hey!" Ashton let go of my hand to wave at him then grabbed it again.
"Hey," he said and walked up to Lizeth.
"What's up Hemmings?" "The usual," she smiled and he smiled back at her, which caused a bit of jealousy to ignite inside of me. I leaned closer to Ashton.
"Keep showing me yeah? I'm enjoying this." I said without a thought and Luke turned to glare at us, he had a devious stare. It was intense.
"Of course," he turned and guided me again, Luke left to sit on the couch and observe us.
Minutes later we beat Lizeth and I jumped up and down in excitement. Before I knew it, Ash turned me around and pulled me in his arms, I didn't know what to do but to hug him back.
I looked back and saw Luke rush to the kitchen without a look back.
"Oh sorry," he pulled away and I smiled at him, "its cool."
"Let's eat pizza? I'm hungry." Lizeth said and we all agreed, then headed to the kitchen where we met with Luke once more.
"You guys done playing your stupid little games?" he growled and I just rolled my eyes, I don't have time or patience to deal with his rude remarks.
We all got our food and ate in silence until Michael spoke up," So what do you guys want to do tomorrow? There's a frat party I got invited to."
"Oh my god yes, let's go!" Lizeth screamed in excitement, "You wanna go Michelle? Oh please go!" "I can't, I have to study and get some things together."
"Oh come on, please." she pleaded.
"Lizeth, please I really can't." I said and she understood, I really don't want to deal with drama, drunken, hormonal people and all of that.
"I'm still not gonna give up, but I'll stop for now." She smiled and I thanked her.
Everyone just talked and drank the rest of the night, Except Luke, he stayed quiet most of the night. Occasionally, he would talk to Lizeth, but that's about it. Why must he be so complicated?
I was the only one that stayed sober, and Luke too.
When Lizeth had enough, I had to drive her home, Ash, Luke, and Michael stayed at the house.
...
The next morning I woke up early and Lizeth was still knocked out on her bed. I got dressed in a grey tank top and a pretty green khaki shorts with my converse, I let my hair flow in my natural beach waves and put some mascara. I have to take advantage of this heat before its over, winter comes fast here I've heard.
I went to get a sweetened passion fruit iced tea from Starbucks and got Lizeth one too. I have learned to love walking now, back then, I would've horribly dreaded all the miles I walk a day now. I've been here only a a month, yet it feels like I've been here longer.
I got back to the dorm and Lizeth was barely waking up.
"Here, I bought you this. It'll wake you up trust me."
"You're a life saver Michelle." she smiled and drank some before fully getting up from her bed and getting her things together to go take a shower.
"I'll be back, if Luke comes tell him I won't be too long." she said. "So you and Luke?"' I asked before I could process the question, I probably sounded like some jealous little girl.
"Don't worry, what me and Luke had is way over. You don't need to worry about that." she stated and I couldn't believe. They had a thing?
" You guys had a thing?" once again, my mouth spoke before my brain could even catch up.
"It was just something that lasted probably two weeks or something, I think that was some sort of record for him." record?
"What do you mean a record?" I'm not sure I will want to hear this answer.
" Hemmings isn't really the 'Romantic' type. Hes not into the PDA, he never has been and most likely never will. He just fucks around with girls, I mean literally just fucks them, then forgets they even exist. I've been around to see how some of them actually fall in love with him, not knowing what they're getting into, its not pretty." she says and my heart drops. I've only just met this man, and I already regret what I'm feeling for him. What am I feeling?
"oh," was all I could manage to say.
"I would tell you more but I need to shower for the party tonight, which I hope you decide to go to by the way." she smiled and walked out.
"fuck," my subconscious screamed and I just plotted on my bed, and threw a pillow over my head.
Lizeth came back about 30 minutes after.
"Its still early, do you want to watch a movie or something? Oh, by the way, I've been meaning to ask you." She paused and thought about it," You said your birthday was this month right? On the 14?"
"Yeah," I smiled. She actually remembered.
"No way, that's like a week away, how do you wanna celebrate? Tell me and I'll make it happen. Do you want male strippers? Lap dances? I can arrange it." She laughed and I did so as well.
"Oh god Lizeth!" she had me literally cracking up.
"I don't want anything though, maybe just order a pizza and get a cake or something." I stated and she looked shocked.
"You are turning 19 sister. The big 1-9. You have to have something big man."
"I'm not into big parties, I've actually never really had a party. On my 18 birthday, My boyfriend-"
"Wouh, wait you have a boyfriend?" she gasped.
"Had, we broke up a few days before I came here. I didn't want to hurt him by being so far."
"How long were you guys together?"
"2 years."
"Wow, that sucks."
" I guess, I mean we still talk and everything. His name is Shane, he's the type of guy every girl dreams of. He's tall, brown hair, hazel eyes, nice-"
"that sounds fucking peachy." My heart literally stopped for a second.
"Luke! You're here," Lizeth yelled and I just went to my bed again and sat down.
" Yup, what do you wanna do?" he said to her, but glared at me and I just turned and got my laptop.
"Me and Michelle were actually planning on watching a movie, wanna join? We still have time for the party."
"Sure, whatever." he said and sat on her bed.
There was one thought I couldn't get out of my mind. Was I just another one of his "Victims," who he plays with and then ditches? Cause he sure as hell is acting like it.
I'm mentally exhausted right now from this thought running through my mind, I set up the movie and connected it to Lizeths projector and played the movie, but I fell asleep shortly after it started.
