6 Chapter 6- The Party

'Mornin' sis,' Ty grins.

'Hello Ty,' I reply

Tyler keeps looking at me with a huge grin plastered on his face.

I raise an eyebrow.

'So, yesterday after basketball practice I heard that um- what was his name again? Ahh yes. Nate Romano tried to flirt with a girl and then she pissed him off, um- they said she had curly black hair and looked like my sister?' Tyler frowned playfully looking at me.

I sigh and sat on the counter.

'Yes, it's true. He whistled at me! Who has the decency to do that to me!?' I started to ramble on my own.

I turned and saw Mum was looking at Tyler and me.

'It's not what you think Mum. I have no idea of dating, I'll focus on my education for now,' I assured my mother.

What I heard next was unexpected.

'I want you to meet people and have fun. I may be your mother, but I want you to be happy too. Just no funny business...' She chuckled.

I opened my mouth to speak but shut it. You are awesome Mum!

I found Tyler texting on his phone. Must be a friend...

I go and chose my outfit for school today. I decided to keep it casual, so I wear high-waisted leggings with a khaki shirt which I knot at the front. I put on a pair of heels, sunglasses and my H necklace. No makeup as usual. I decide to put a high ponytail with my fringe and now I'm ready to go.

Jaz's outfit:

_____________________________________________-

It's officially lunchtime and I decided to go to the washroom with Jaz to fix my hair. I find a crying Abby Carter standing near the door.

Jaz was right, there are no tears just powdered water.

'I-I cannot believe he dumped me,' Abby cries. 'He said he couldn't bear cheating on her anymore.'

Huh? Did I just hear that right? Nate had two girlfriends? Typical player stuff.

Jaz gives me a look and I shrug.

We leave the toilet after completing our business and proceed to have lunch.

Day of the party

'Ughhh... I don't know what dress to wear!' I exclaimed frustrated.

I start scavenging for party-worthy clothes in my walk-in closet.

'Lemme search,' Jaz said. 'Here you are!'

I smiled. I do not know what I would do without Jaz.

'C'mon we have to get ready,'

Jaz did my hair and makeup while I did hers. I decided to let my hair out and have a half braid, while Jaz decided to ponytail hers.

For makeup, I applied some red lipstick and smokey eyes. Jaz went for bronzer and brown eyeshadow.

I wear my outfit and check the mirror. I gasp in surprise.

I was wearing a black dress with black knee-length high heel boots. I paired it with a Gucci bag and a metal bracelet. Needless to say, I look flawless.

'OMG Han! You look so drool-worthy and downright gorgeous. Poor Lachlan will struggle to keep his hands to himself,' Jaz playfully winks.

"C'mon let's get you ready," I say, changing the subject.

Jaz comes out from the closet and damn- she looks amazing. Her burgundy hair compliments her outfit extremely well.

She wore denim shorts with translucent black tights and a black t-shirt tucked in. She completed her look with a side bag, belt and worker boots.

Lachlan offered to drive us today and we heard his car honking.

Jaz and I went downstairs and opened the door.

"Where are you going, honey?" Dad asked.

"I'm going to a party I'll be back by 11."

"Don't be late Hun. Be back by midnight. And no drinking," My dad winks at me.

I reassure I'll be fine, and Tyler will be there at the party too.

I wave at Lachlan, who leaning on his car and looking at the sky.

He looked at me and I saw his eyes sparkle for a millisecond.

"Damn, Hannah you look g-gorgeous. Black suits you so well," He muttered slowly.

"Thank you, you look great yourself."

"Did I say that loud. I-I didn't mean too-" Lachlan stammered clearly embarrassed.

I gave him a small smile, while Jaz started to scream that we will be late for the party.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Party music blasted in my ears. Jaz and Lachlan went to grab drinks and meet friends.

Here I was all alone slightly dancing to the music.

'Want a drink hot cheeks?'

I turned around to see a drunk jock offering me a red cup filled with alcohol while checking me out. He looked like a goat. With a thin, pointed face and thick eyebrows.

'No thanks,' I replied looking him in the eye.

'Aww... C'mon babe,' he slurred handing the cup.

'Don't babe me, Billy goat!' I snapped fiercely.

'I love feisty women.' He chuckled darkly and pulled my arm.

I struggled and tries to break free, but his grip was strong. There was no point in screaming because the party was too loud and crowded.

Oh, Jaz where are you?

He dragged me up the stairs and along the corridor.

'Leave me, you jerk!' I screeched.

His grip on me tightened and then he grabbed my hair and pulled it.

"Ouch!" I shouted.

I totally lost it. I pulled myself back, loosening from his grip and kicked him in his family jewels. I gave him a fist punch on his jaw and grabbed him by the head and banged it on the wall.

He let out a loud cry and slapped me on the face.

I was stunned. No one has hit me before. I was on the verge of strangling him by the neck when someone came and started punching him.

"How dare you touch her, you imbecile!" the striking male voice said. The voice was filled with burning anger and hatred. It was furious and malicious. Mr Fine Voice landed strong punches on his jaw until I saw blood.

Oh no. Not blood.

I let out a shriek and faint.

A strong pair of arms grab me by my waist and carries me down. That's all I remember before I blackout.
