Chapter 24

People were dancing around me but I wasn't in the mood to join in. I sat on the couch and sipped a very strong alcoholic punch. The end of school party was being held at Rich Yarkel house – Rich Yarkel was a guy at my school who I didn't know, or maybe I did I just didn't realise. But it didn't matter who he was, because I was popular now so I got invited to end of school parties.

But, no matter how much Shawna had tried to cheer me up, I wasn't having a good time. After my fight with Seth, he'd stormed out and stayed at Josh's house for the evening. The Beta had phoned me to ask if I was alright, since Seth wasn't talking to him, and I had broken down in sobs of tears. Within ten minutes of the phone call both Shawna and Dean were at my house, looking after me.

I didn't tell them what the fight was about, because I was too embarrassed. I was a bad mate. Seth knew everything about me because he'd been paying attention to me, even when I didn't realise it, but I hadn't been paying enough attention to him. I could defend myself that it was because I was young, in a new pack and slightly overwhelmed. But that was all bullshit. I hadn't paid attention because I hadn't cared enough to.

Not that I didn't care about Seth, because I did, but it was more the fact that I was happy with how our life was going so I hadn't tried to push on. But when I realised that I did want more – it was already too late.

So I didn't mention anything to Shawna or Dean, just went to bed and felt sorry for myself. And at school, all the next day, I was quiet and kept to myself. And even when I'd let Shawna dress me in a flowy black dress and pumps, and pull me to the party, I was still no happier.

I'd convinced Shawna I was fine and she should go and have fun. She'd stayed with me a while, drinking the punch, before she was asked to dance. She was slightly drunk so stumbled onto the makeshift dance floor with the guy. I kept an eye on her but I knew she was sensible enough to look after herself, even with the alcohol pumping through her bloodstream.

"You look like you could use a drink" a voice said to me. I turned to see a human boy, who I didn't know, sit on the couch next to me. I raised my red solo cup slightly.

"Got one" I mumbled, taking a quick sip. The guy chuckled – he was average looking, ashy blonde hair with bright green eyes.

"I can see that. It was actually just a conversation starter" he laughed. I gave him a hard look but didn't say anything. "Ah, so not much of a conversation starter".

"What do you want?" I asked. I knew he was flirting with me, he may have not been the best looking boy at the party but he was still way out of my league.
