Embarrassment

Zayn couldn't rest he felt uneasy about like he was missing out on something so he crashed the party and tried to be as out of sight as possible but he was a known face so people recognized him and from what he overheard everyone knew he wasn't coming which confused him further. Was there beef? What the hell did he do to this girl that seemed like such a crime? He was popular so not receiving an invite agitated him.

He was quiet but he liked the attention he did receive and liked to hear people talk about him but not in a disheartening light. This was a bad idea already and shouldn't have come on impulse.

He was stuck next to a couch with two people he knew who disgusted him with their over use of PDA which was also something that bothered him about other people. Chantelle and some girl from his class showed a completely different personality than he observed. He thought she was a glasses wearing recluse but some drinks in her system and she was out in the open hoisted over Chantelle slopping kissing him like this living room filled with people was just them two. A disgusted look flashed over his face and he rolled his eyes wanting to be pulled out of this uncomfortable position. Chantelle and Zayn didn't get along for many reasons, one reason being Chantelle feeling threatened by Zayn's appearance in school when he first appeared. He felt like they were too similar and like Zayn was copying his mannerisms and attitude but it all were a mere coincidence. It was all one-sided until Chantelle crossed the line and Zayn established their rivalry.

He got up to leave the uncomfortable scene that was spectalized and filmed by other students. This was definitely making it to social media and pecked at considering the girl's father dealt with politics and he was under a lot of attention lately. Bad idea to come here on her end. He faltered for a second and remembered the condoms he was handed today by Mrs. Kady Lin sitting in his pockets that he took up. He pettily threw them at Chantelle whose face was busily stuck to hers. Chantelle didn't seem phased by being hit in the side of the face by a roll of condoms but proceeded to playfully smirk in Zayn's direction and continue doing what he was doing showing he was completely aware of his actions. Zayn rolled his eyes and began roaming around the vast house of teenagers from his school and some who decided to also crash for fun.

His friends were nowhere to be found but he was pretty sure they were all together. He found his way to the punch in the kitchen and got himself some avoiding the people making out all around him. He just felt dirty seeing them. People had no shame. A familiar face walked into the kitchen to grab themself a drink and also didn't recognize Zayn because of the hood thrown over his head.

"Zayn?!" The person said over the loud music that Zayn almost couldn't hear. "Zayn?!" he tapped him on the shoulder once again calling his name. Zayn gave him a small smile kinda happy to see someone he knew. He was friends with Aaron and they did sit together but he just seemed off and they did have beef not anything that runs deep Zayn thought but it was there as they were rivals on the track team but Aaron respected him team captain. They were just as good and Zayn loved a bit of competition and so did Aaron so they always had playful banter before races but other that over their growing friendship he seemed to not like him or have something against him that Zayn could not fathom because why hang out with him if you harbor any resentment but Zayn kept a close eye on him and made a note not to get too personal with as he knew something was definitely up with him. "They all said you weren't interested in coming."

"I wasn't…" He glanced at him a bit. " Invited." Aaron nodded his head like he knew that already but just wanted to hear Zayn say it making him kinda angry inside.

"Uh, Oh, I was supposed to come find extra members for a game… You wanna play?" Aaron asked handing Zayn some alcohol to mix which he gladly accepted.

"Sure." He follows Aaron across the house to out back to a guest house a bit away from the main party that was walled by a pool. He opened the door for Zayn which revealed their friends and some other people he usually found himself in circle with including the birthday girl who looked surprised and peeved at his appearance which was understandable because he wasn't invited hence he wasn't supposed to be there. He joined the group sitting next to Daniela who had a lil too much already and her lil too much as a light weight was 1 and half drinks in her system. He noted he had to make sure she made it home.

The birthday girl and friends seemed to be whispering and Zayn, the party crasher, ignored it and turned to Daniela to ask what game they were playing.

"Oh ah, I don't even know… someone- I think, I dunno suggest the truth or dare." Daniela rambled clutching her bottle. He hummed as a response.

"I say suck and blow." Someone else piped.

"Sucking D?!" Daniela exasperated.

"No dumbass," Lorel flicked her in the forehead, "Suck and blow is where you pass a piece of paper or card around." Daniela rubbed the spot Lorel flicked in a wince.

"That would be nice but that's a single person's game and not everyone is single and I am not in the mood to start something tonight so forget that please." Christian said warningly to everyone sitting around. People nodded in agreement but a few including Zayn felt like that was better than a game to pry into people's lives or embarrass them because three of the school's biggest gossips sat in the circle taking mental notes and Zayn wasn't up for what they had in store.

"Truth or dare it is." Aaron piped. "Who's first? I say, birthday girl." Ebany smiled at the gesture and thought about the truth or dare she might throw it out there and to who.

"Wait no you go first." She offered back to him which he gladly took. He happily turned to Harry who was sitting next to him clutching Lorel who Zayn noted they probably had something going on.

"Uh, Dare i guess."

"Go pour water on Chantelle and Marceline." Harry laughed at his dare he was given and gladly took it and ran off to do it with someone in tow who Zayn considered the most annoying person he's ever met but he wasn't someone he wanted to get into tonight. Minutes later the two bursted back into the room showing the group the video of the couple being drenched in Water and Marceline screaming and Chantelle trying to chase them but failing to keep up and tripping and falling into the pool filled with his peers. Turns went around until Zayn was able to ask.

"Truth or Dare, Aaron." Aaron thought for a second before excitedly answering. "

Dare!"

His friends knew he was gonna suggest something cruel. He was gonna be petty since he felt like Aaron pulled him into this. "I dare you…" He thought about what could be humiliating to a funny point. "Streak! I dare you to streak!" Everyone cheered as this seemed like a great idea and Aaron shrugged and went into the bathroom. They all sat for 15 minutes before Aaron came running out the bathroom door screaming for them to let him out the front door. Hre ran a lap around the pool and at the side of the house and made another around the pool and decided to jump in initiating a good amount of people to start jumping into skinny dip.

"Who's next?"

"Zayn?" Zayn jumped as he was sipping on his drink and surprised she even called him out but he did stick out because he wasn't even invited. He was nervous but kept his composure and turned to her. He smiled a bit to not make things awkward but the girl who was sitting across from him in her flowy type dress and crown and sash to draw attention to her wasn't smiling more like trying but seemed still angry at him. Everyone was staring at him and he felt like he was under scrutiny. "Truth or Dare?"

He had to be hesitant. He could say, truth because they might dig into his life but dare could be something embarrassing as revenge for coming here. "Uh, t-truth." He didn't mean to stutter but he felt like too many eyes were on him and they seemed judging.

"Why the fuck are you here? No invitation means no come. No come means I DON"T FUCKING WANT YOU HERE!" Zayn choked up and she was right. He knew she didn't like him but she never outright said it just mannerisms. Daniela grabbed Zayn pulling him behind her and stood up making a wall with her body.

"You bitch! It's not his fault we all wanted him to come and we asked him to. We pushed him to come." She wasn't like this but because of the alcohol she was more confrontational.

"Don't be angry, we would rather Zayn than you." Lorel added as backup.

"Okay everyone let's reel this in. She didn't mean that?! She didn't c'mon." Mormon, Ebany's boyfriend said, jumping up. Zayn didn't buy that for one second but could put this behind him. "She's under the influence."

"She's a snake. You invite everyone but Zayn, What's up with that?" Daniela said ignore Mormon. She cocked her head at Ebany who stood up mimicking Daniela which irritated her.

"Sure, say that. I don't like him, don't come. That's it. Why did you guys come anyway and leave him behind? If he didn't crash we wouldn't be talking about this?" Everyone fell silent including Daniela who was trying to come up with a comeback.

"It's fine, this was a bad idea anyway." Zayn excused himself and sourly made his way inside the house but he wasn't going to leave just yet he had to push some drinks down his throat to forget this situation. Embarrassment was on his mind and with alcohol could definitely fix this but like the rest of this night it was a bad idea because Zayn got himself drunk. He forgot to nominate a designated driver for this night since he spontaneously showed up. He slid down the wall next to someone who was rambling about something nonsensical that sounded similar to Daniela but he couldn't tell due to his drunkenness.

Zayn felt himself being hauled over the shoulder of someone he didn't recognize but they smelt amazing. He sniffed them and he didn't feel any shame.
