Hate me i don't mind

I invited Kayley and Jane to my house after class for our practice for the project next week and Chloe will be joining us late 'cause she has a music show to attend to and here i am freaking out.

"Jane will be coming at my house," i said to myself. I am in panic. What do i do? I should fucking chill. Calm down Aria. Okay i got this.

It's just a group project.

So apparently they made me the group leader since yes because of that incident..

I made a couple of dance choreo already but it might change i don't know if they can handle it well. Chloe can handle it she's an idol i don't know about those two though.

I'm going to my locker to get some stuff and when i opened it a lot of letters just fall out from it. Well, they are mostly from my fans, admirers or some fucking lunatic haters.

I don't really have the interest to read it all so i grab all of it and throw it in the trash can.

"Sup Aria?!" Someone called me. I looked back and saw Caleb running towards me.

Caleb is a friend, more like a brother to me. Can be annoying sometimes, that's why Chloe hates him.

"What's up?" I asked him while i rummage something in my locker.

"You want to come tonight? I'm having a party at my place and pretty much people from our class will come and i heard Ian invited some hot girls we haven't met before" he said.

"I can't bro. I have some important things to do" YES very important, much important than anything else right now. Jane is coming to my place i can't miss that.

"Oh that's a shame you're gonna miss a lot my friend.. c'mon pretty girls are coming!" He insisted.

"I really can't Caleb, maybe next time?" i said and tap his shoulder.

"I'm just wondering since when you said NO to pretty girls?" He teased.

"Fuck off."

"Okay okay but if you change your mind you can just crash at my place anytime," he said.

"Yeah sure" i said and we did our lame handshake. His idea of course.

I went back to class.

I'm sitting at the back and finally, it's my last class for the day i got to go home early 'cause i need to prepare my place.

And the bell rings.

Finally!

I went outside hurriedly, ignored some people and got inside my car 'cause i need to buy some snacks for the practice later i remember i haven't buy some groceries yet.

I texted Chloe after i bought some groceries, notice her that i'm home already and she said she's wrapping up there.

So while waiting, i'm here in the 2nd floor of the house it's pretty spacious compared to the first floor 'cause usually, this floor is where i mostly do all some kinds of stuff like i have my mini-game room here and also a dance room which is my favorite. And a little studio for my photography stuffs you know i love doing photography it's one of my hubbies. The third floor is where the rooms are , including my room. I lived alone my parents are separated.. I have never seen my Mother for a long time and my Father got a lot of business here a CEO of one of the prestigious company here in Korea, he owns this school too. Okay enough with that.

I'm getting bored already it's almost 6 now and no one has come yet. Damn.

I tried to call Chloe but she doesn't answer her phone so i tried calling Kayley yes she gladly gave me her number, unfortunately, Jane doesn't want to give me her number. She basically hates me.

It's just ringing i wonder if they are on their way here now. Yeah probably.

I'm sitting on the sofa watching tv, damn i'm so bored. What's taking them so long?

That's when i heard the door downstairs opened. Dollface!!

"Chloe!" I shouted.

"Geez Aria you startled me!" I just laughed.

"I'm dying out of boredom here finally you're here"

"Wait.. why? I thought they're here already" she said looking around as she drops her things at the couch.

"I don't know and it's almost 7 now" i said as i sat down with at the couch.

"Did you try calling them?"

"Just Kayley i don't have Jane's number"

"Yet" I cleared my throat.

"They are probably on their way here now let's just wait a little bit, chill" she chuckles as she walks on her way to the kitchen as usual.

"But i told them that practice time is~ it's 7 now." i whine.

"Maybe their class ended late? Or they have to drop by somewhere else before coming here?"

"Maybe, anyway I'm hungry . Have you eaten yet?" I said and went to the kitchen as well.

"No and i'm am starving we could just eat first while waiting for them."

"Good idea" While waiting i cooked some food for us.

"How's your show?" I asked her.

"Just fine. Tiring but i'm happy, a lot of fans came in just to watch me performing two songs"

"Just two?"

"Yeah sadly it got cut" she pouts.

"It's fine i'm sure your fans are happy even it's just 2 songs seeing how great you are on stage" i smiled reassuring her.

"Thanks~ You actually did say something good." She mocks.

"I just hope they did not notice how you gain weight lately" i grin at her.

"Okay. Forget i said that." She throws a cherry tomato on me.

We forgot that the time already passed while eating and talking nonsense.

It's past eight now..

Damn where are they?

"They will not come" i said looking sad while i drink water.

"Shit what time is it already?" She asked.

"Pass 8" i plainly answered.

"Okay where are they?"

"I'm asking the same thing wait where's my phone anyway?" I looked around and found it at the couch.

I checked it and got a message from Kayley.

"We can't come sorry Aria. Jane got invited to a party she asked me to come i forgot to tell you earlier i'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting" The message was sent 7:35. I read it out loud.

"What?!"

"Did they just ditch us for a party?!" Nice. For once i made an effort doing something for a school project, Made some groceries, and Clean the house a bit. This is rewarding.

I mentally cursed myself.

"Hey.. so what now?" Chloe asked me.

"I am pissed."

Wait..

Party?

"What are you thinking?"

"Shit" that's all i can say.

"What?" She asked looking so confused.

"Could it be they are at Caleb's place?"

"Caleb? That annoying friend of yours you mean? Why there? "

"I remember him asking me to come tonight at his place he said he's having a party with Ian and his other friends" i explained.

"They better not be there Aria, damn those friends of yours including their friends are some freaking douchebag" She is not entirely wrong about that i admit.

If they really went there and i strongly hope not oh god i better go there right now.

"I'm going there"

"If you're going then I'm coming with you" she insisted..

I just change my clothes just some black jeans a maroon stripe crop top long sleeves and a denim jacket and a pair of white sneakers.

We are currently in my car on our way to Caleb's place Luckily his house is in a private and secured location so we don't have to worry about some paparazzi and party crasher since he's an idol too so we don't have to worry about that.

I parked my car inside.

"Let's go?"

We entered the house and we could already hear the loud music and some people are already drunk. We are having a hard time looking around damn this is just a mess.

"How about we split up? I'll look for them at the pool area you go upstairs call me when you found them okay?" I suggested.

"Got it I'll ask anyone too if they saw them here catch you up later!"

I walk inside and heads to the pool area. I can't seem to find Caleb and his friends though.

Surprisingly there are a lot of people here right now some are familiar faces some are not. Just where are they?

I grabbed some random guy's arms and asked him.

"Have you seen a gorgeous girl here?" Shit that doesn't seem right.

The guy looked so lost at me thinking of an answer.

"You are gorgeous.." He said as he eyeing my body.

"I mean have you seen a girl here with this height? Black hair about this length? her name's Jane sound familiar?" I said as i grab her shirt's collar and look straight at him in the eye.

"Ah y-yeah. I saw her with Luke awhile ago" Luke?! What the hell?

"WHERE?!" I shouted at him.

"I-in there?" he said stuttering pointing at the corner of the pool.

I finally saw her. I can't believe she is really here.

I finally saw Jane she's dancing with that guy Luke , He's a shit head sorry for the word but that guy's really a.. shit never mind.

I approached Him and grab Jane's arm.

"You are coming with me." I said and then she looked at me. I can tell she's drunk and i can smell alcohol all over her damn where's Kayley leaving her all alone with this fucking guy?

"Hey!" He grab my shoulder and stopped me.

"Oh it's y-you. You look different. But hey Aria, i thought you weren't coming," Luke said grinning at me.

" Jane let's go" I just ignored him as i tried to make Jane come with me.

"A-aria?" She said when she finally look at my face.

"Noooo! Why w-would i? I'm still having fun here.. get l-lost" I groan out of frustration. This girl really.

"Hey Aria? the girl doesn't want to go yet in fact we are just about to have fun" He moved a bit closer to me and whispered it to my ear.

This damn guy really.. i swear i am itching to give him a punch right now.

"Jane, please. you're drunk let's get you home" She's still resisting my grip trying to removed my hand to her arm.

"Let go.. s-since when did you become my Mom?" Fuck. Jane just shut up and come with me. Why is she even this drunk? it's still early. This is not good.

"Aria, don't be such a party pooper. She already said she doesn't want to go. Let me just have fun with her or we can just share you know" He grins and his friends just laughed, I swear I'm going to fucking punch him now if he don't stop saying shit.

He grabs Jane's arm removing her from my grip and puts his arms around her waist and she doesn't seem to mind it yes, she's too drunk to even care from this nasty piece of shit.

I gave him some dirty looks and clenched my teeth.

I'm really getting angry now.

"I don't mind sharing though just let me have her first" he grins again.

I smiled at him as i face him.

"Don't." I warned him.

"Or you can have her first. Just like old times." He added as he laughs.

That's it. I grasp my fist tightly and gave him a strong punch in the face.

"Shut the fuck up." I said as his friends helped him to get up.

He's all mouth, he got a dick but acts like a fucking girl.

I grabbed Jane and place her behind me.

"What the hell?" He shouted and swing his fist to me.

I effortlessly avoided his fist and gave him a kick in his thigh instead and that makes him fall in his knees.

He said as he groans from pain. His friends just laughed at him this time.

"Back off. Are you forgetting who i am?!" I said as i grab his shirt's collar.

He was about to get up when his friends tried to stop him.

"That's right. Take him home or he won't get out of here at least with his face not bleeding" i said while grinning.

They seem to understand what i meant and took Luke away from me.

I looked at Jane who seems shook at the moment.

Is she sober now?

"Let's go and i'm not taking a No for an answer again" i plainly said.

"I hate you.. you know that? Why are you even here?" She said as her face looks away from me. Did she just forgot that we are supposed to meet at my place?

"I know. Hate me all you want. I don't mind" i said to her.

I grab her hand and we went outside. She doesn't seem to mind me holding her hand she just followed me, not saying anything.

I picked up my phone and answered it's Chloe.

"I found her and she's fucking drunk," I said.

"I found Kayley too, take her home then, it's fine i can go home alone don't worry"

"Okay. Thanks." I hang up and we went inside my car.

She surprisingly quiet.

Where does she lives though?

"What's the address to your place?" I finally broke the silence and asked her.

"That's a s-secret." Are you kidding me?

What the hell is wrong with her?!

"How can i drive you home if you won't tell me?!" She's getting on my nerves.

"I can just ride a cab you know" she rolled her eyes.

"You're drunk and alone. I can't let you do that"

"Why do you care?!! Can you just mind your own business? Geez" I can't believe this.

Yeah she's not my business. She's right though.

But i can't just leave her there? And she can't go home alone.

"I don't know.. i just.." i said and looked away.

"Just.. what?!" She said crossing her arms.

I like you.

"W-what?" She asked me.

"I hate you but i can't let you go home alone and since you are with me. Why can't you just let me take you home?!"

"What? You hate me?" She asked and raised her eyebrows.

"Yes i hate you i don't know why am i even here with you." I lied again.

"Well I hate you too! Really! And i don't know why? The first time i saw you and have that photoshoot with you i already hated you i don't know what particular reason i just hated you.. the way you looked at me i don't like it I h-hate how annoying you are!" She shouted at me.

She looks away and was about to open the car's door.

"Where are you going?" I asked her and grab her shoulder.

"Anywhere, away from you."

"What the fuck"

I grabbed her and locked the door.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Why are so stubborn? Do you really hate me that much?" I said looking straight at her not breaking any contact.

" Y-yes " she said

"Look, i just want to get you home safely. Nothing more." I honestly said.

"You're so n-nosy you know that?"

"Am i?" She groans and pushed me.

She finally said her address.

Finally. She's so stubborn.

I drove and she's quiet again.

"I'm sorry if i am being nosy but trust me you wouldn't want to be in that party especially with those guys," I confess.

"Whatever."

Does she really hate me this much? I don't mind. As long as she gets home safe. As long as I get to talk to her. I really don't mind.
