Chapter 5

"Hey" she said, smiling

I raised my eyebrow and looked at her confusingly.

"I'm Octavia, your next door neighbor" she said to my confusion while looking me up and down.

I remember I'm dressed in a large t-shirt and underwear, definitely not appropriate to welcome the neighbour.

Thank god she doesn't recognize me. For a second I thought she will recognize me up close.

"Hey you" I said confidently remembering I'm not in school

I looked at the cookies she brought, she gave it to me, "I brought these for you guys, I saw you all moving, thought I'd introduce myself."

Yeah, I know who you are, not the first name though til now.

"Well hello, I'm Alex, your neighbour, my family's not home yet so I think you can meet them some other time" I fake smiled at her.

I'm definitely not letting her inside.

"Yeah sure, I'll come by next time" she said while looking inside house behind me.

Don't tell me she is nosy and wants me to invite her. Well, not gonna happen.

"Bye" I said.

"Yeah, bye" I closed the door

Who even has time to get all friendly with neighbours? Atleast she seems nice and definitely not a bitch like Ashley.

Agh! You know when someone's an angel but their personality's shit.

I so want to beat the shit out of her. Don't get me wrong, people don't really bother me much but she's just a freakingly- annoying-bitch who's way too gorgeous and immature.

I went back to cook something for my stomach.

How hard will it be to be neighbours with the teacher? Well as long as she doesn't recognize me, it's all good. I'll be low-key and off the radar, so it won't be a problem.

I ate the lasagna, and sat on couch. I took the controller and started playing Tomb Raider. It's a killer game.

While I was playing, my phone ringed letting me know of a message from an unknown number

"Hey Dorky, It's David"

"Dorky?"

"Let's just say I saw you in huge dorky glasses"

"Stalker much?"

"haha no, I saw you waking on street, and good thing I recognize you"

"Was it obvious?"

"Ah no, I just have good eyes"

"Cool"

"Hey wanna come to a party?"

I thought about it, I wanted to avoid parties and stuff but then again only to avoid interactions in school. But I can still have fun when I'm not with school's people

"sure, I'll come"

"Great, text me your address and I'll be there in 15"

He hung up and I texted him my address.

I ran upstairs and started looking through my closet.

I took out a white tank top, a black leather jacket, black jeans and white sneakers.

Black all the way.

I love black, it's simple yet classy and sophisticated.

I texted my dad and told him I'll come late at night, out with a friend. I'm pretty sure he'd be grinning cause I made a friend.

David really gave a good vibe. I feel like I can trust him which is rare for me.

I heard the knock on door. I opened and saw him standing while checking me out with a stupid grin on his face.

I gave him a slap on his shoulder.

"Stop checking me out Dork" I said, rolling my eyes

He chuckled, "Dude, you look hot! I bet you'll get lucky tonight"

"yeah yeah, not my plan" I said while locking the door.

We went to his car, and he started driving.

"How much do you workout?" he asked while looking straight at the road

"Not daily, I just work on my punches and kicks. I used to fight back home" I answered.

" Ah huh" he said and had a longing face which confused me

"What?" I asked

"Do you wanna, maybe, fight here?"he asked me hesitantly

"Where?" I asked

" I know a place where you can fight and earn extra money, but there's someone who wants to see your capability before you do. So?"

"Sure, I'd love to." I answered smirking

"By the way, there'd be drugs in the party, I won't tell you what to do or not but it's better if you stay away from them"

"I know dude, drugs literally damage the brain and I'm so in love with mine" I said chuckling. He smiled showing his teeth.

If I were not gay, I'd be drooling over this smile.

I chuckled at the thought and saw him pulling up in a driveway. We got out of car and there was a huge house. It was more like a mansion. The music can be heard here

"Wow" I said in awe.

He chuckled, "I know, it's my friend's house and it's his party."

"Hmm, what's his name?" I asked

"Brian, he works in his dad company, grooming to take the company. He's a good friend of mine. C'mon, let's go inside." He said as we were walking inside the gate

As we entered I heard music blasting, people were dancing, more like grinding, making out at different weird spots. Some were inhaling powders. Damn

"Hey, I know you can take care of yourself but if something gets out of hand just tell them you're David's girl" He said loudly cause of noise.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go smoke up" I said while looking at bunch of people smoking weed.

"You smoke?" He asked shockingly

"Don't be my dad and yeah I do occasionally" I answered while heading towarda the people.

I sat and a skinhead with tattooes gave me a joint. Skinheads with full body tattooed sure screams danger. I used to hangout with these kind of people back in New Jersey. I loved doing anything that won't bore me and for me, fun means getting in trouble, doing illegal shit.

People always told me it's a blessing I have an innocent yet badass looks. That way you can fool anyone with your sweet talks and innocent looks.

I took a sharp inhale. Ah, it's good to be home. I took some vodka shots as I smoke up. I ain't no hypocrite but I do have my share of fun once in a while. It's a way of keeping myself sane.

I so missed this feeling. I started to feel tipsy as I took more shots.

A redhead sat beside me and took it out of my hands.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I snapped at her. Who the hell does she thinks she is taking the shots out of my hand.

"I'm doing this for you so you won't regret tomorrow, you already had a lot"

"Who are you? My mother? Let me have my fun" I scoffed

"Well, there are more ways to have fun" she said while looking at my lips.

I smirked and pulled her on my lap. I took in her features, Red hair, grey eyes lust filled, prominent cheeks, luscious lips ready to be kissed. She smelled like lavender.

"And what that might be?" I said as I brushed my lips onto her lightly.

She pulled me in as she grabbed my neck, my hands snaked around her waist and we kissed fiercely. I asked for entrance which he didn't give me so I bit her bottom lip, she moaned. I took the opportunity and entered my tongue. She tasted like vodka with hint of smoke, probably same as mine. We were on full makeout session. She sure is a great kisser. I started making my way under her t-shirt but she stopped me by grabbing my hand. I groaned.

"Not so fast tiger" she whispered in my ear as she nibbled there. I tried not to moan, I bet sex will be so hot with her.

She looked me in eyes and sat on couch beside me. "Hi, I'm Addison" she introduced herself while taking her out.

I shook her hand "I'm Alexandra and you can definitely call me Alex or Lex"

"What brings you here? I haven't seen you before, are you friends with Brian?" She asked

"Booze" I said raising the vodka shot "and no, I don't know him but David invited me. I'm new to this town, moved last week" took the shot, feeling the burning sensation in my throat.

A guy came from behind and whispered something in her ear. "Well Lex, I'll see you around and I'm pretty sure we'll cross paths." She gave me a peck on cheek and left.

And here I thought I'd get laid with a beautiful woman. As she went, I noticed she was wearing a tight dress which hugged her perfectly making her curves come out in classy way.

Someone tap on my shoulder and I find David looking at me, amused.

"What?" I asked

"Nothing, let's go. I'll drop you off" he said

"Yeah" I stood and we made our way back to his car

"So did you enjoy the party" he asked opening his car door

"I did, it's been a while I went to party" I said

"I see, you seemed to have good time with Addy" he said with hint of something in his voice

"Yep, she's cool and hot. I'm thinking to hook up with her even though she never gave me her number" I chuckled remembering

"That's cool but .." I paused

I waited for him to continue

"Addison is Brian's younger sister. She can be a great friend but definitely not as someone in a relationship if you're looking for that. Brian is very protective of her and trust me, these guys are dangerous as you've seen skinheads doing drugs and stuff. I'm not saying not to be friends with her but it's just my suggestion, don't hookup with her. She'll hurt you so bad Alex."

I looked at him confusingly "but she was nice, literally stopped me from taking more shots since I definitely did not know my limits"

"She's emotional Alex, if she trust and love you, she can die for you, but if you hurt her, Brian will kill you. Addy falls in love very soon. It's better if you friendzone her". He said

"What makes you think I'll hurt her?" I asked him even though I know the answer.

"From what I gather, you definitely don't do relationship, even if you do you don't fall in love or better say, don't want to fall on love" he answered

"What are you? Mind reader? How can you know me so fucking well in such a short time when my parents cannot even know me in these years?"

"Cause I'm genius" he said with a cocky smile

I rolled my eyes "Well the last thing I want is a crazy psychopath girlfriend. Don't really want anything dangerous now"

I looked outside the window. It's calm. I wish my mind can be calm as this breeze.

David pulled up in my driveway and we got out. He gave me a hug. "Hey, you can always talk to me about anything you know"

I pulled out of hug and looked up to with smile "I know"

"Good night then, and ...why are you not drunk?" He looked at me shockingly confusion

I laughed at his reaction, he's adorable. "Cause I've good control and I don't get hangover" I smirked

"Damn girl!" I laughed again

"I gotta sleep now, already tired" I said as I went inside the house

"Bye" he said while getting inside his car.

I'm pretty sure my parents are home now so I went upstairs, changed my clothes into comfortable ones. Washed my face.

I'm really glad that I finally have a friend with whom I can share stuff. I'll always be grateful to David. I lied down in bed and went deep into sleep with a smile on my face.

Author's Note-

I won't make it confusingly complex, will make things simpler. My brain is getting so many ideas from it's daydreaming so I'm still putting up the ideas.

Thanks for reading
