school feels like a never ending thing , like it just continues no matter what. and currently , i was at school sitting with my three best friends. which made it a little bit more enjoyable.

doing this every week day , im used to it now. but it's still annoying.

"did y'all hear about that party someone's throwing?" anna asked , making all of our heads go to her.

"you would be the one to know about a party." hazel smiled , hitting her arm.

"but no , i haven't heard anything about a party." she answered her question after a few seconds.

"i haven't either." i answered , turning to sage who only shook her head.

"i think that one boys throwing it.. what's his name?" anna said , turning to us like we knew who she was talking about.

"kinda tall.. brown eyes.. black hair.. fuck , i don't know." she shrugged , pulling out her phone.

"oliver?" i asked , causing her head to shoot up and point at me.

"him! yes."

i nodded , it's not a surprise. the guys one of those who's parents are barely home , always having a big house to yourself and popular , you throw partys.

"anyway , if it's true , y'all wanna go?" she asked all of us , putting her phone down on the table.

"yeah." hazel answered , as sage turned to me.

"i'll go." i shrugged , i've only been to two party's , their alright.. definitely overhyped but , it's something to do.

"okay , sure." sage answered , just as the bell rung and we all split to go to our classes.

-

"ashtray." i walked up to him , school over.

"what?" he has the normal , harsh tone he always had with me.

"is oliver throwing a party?" i asked , before i forget that annalise asked me to ask him.

he squinted his eyes , "i don't know."

"how do you not know? you're his friend." i rolled my eyes , jogging to fezcos car so i could get front seat.

"that doesn't mean shit. and i'm not even friends with him , i just hang around him." he replied , opening the back door.

"same thing." i pulled out my phone , texting anna , ashtrays response.

fezco ignored us , turning up the radio.

"yo.. mouse is gon be coming over to the house in a few days." he informed both me and ashtray.

i watched ashtrays head snap in fezcos direction , making me a little worried. ashtray is.. well he's ashtray. but he has some sort of anger problem , short temper. but i guess he doesn't like mouse , i doubt he'd do anything to him since mouse is like a really buff , fully tatted out guy.

named after a rodent though... how tuff can he be?

"what the fuck for?" ashtray growled.

mouse had came over before , a little while ago. and from what i heard , since i was in my room the whole time he was there and didn't see anything. he was a dick. he gave rue something , and just overall seemed like some creep.

"business , man." fezco answered him , keeping his eyes on the road.

from the side mirror i saw ashtray roll his eyes and sit back , looking out the window in deep thought.

arriving at home , we all walked in the house. and i made my way to the bathroom , only to be pushed out of the way by ashtray.

"what the fuck?" i said , going back by the bathroom door.

"you take forever , im going first." he said , walking in the bathroom and standing to look at me.

"i was going first , no you're not." i grabbed his arm , trying to pull him out but he barely bugged.

he shot me fake smile , making me roll my eyes and walk off to my room.

i sat on my bed , turning on my tv and scrolling through netflix to find something new to watch.

while doing so , my thought took over and i lost focus.

why did ashtray have that look on his face when fezco mentioned mouse?

why is he always such an asshole?

is miles gonna be at the party?

is Oliver even throwing the party?

new years is soon , maybe it's a new years party.

a freshman throwing a new years party? weird.

ashtrays voice took me out of my thoughts , he was talking to fezco which meant he was out of the bathroom.

i used the bathroom , before going back to my room just as my phone buzzed.

anna

annalise's contact name was on my bright phone screen , making me grab it and sit down.

anna
anna
oliver is throwing the party
i think it's for new years
anyways
you still gonna go?

mal
yeah

so just as i thought , it is for new years.. well maybe. but since new years is coming up , someone is definitely gonna throw a party for it. pretty sure it'll be him.
