Chapter 50

"What do you find so funny?" I ask him bitterly as the three of us watch him pour himself another drink into his already empty cup.

"You don’t like alcohol? How many times have you thrown up at parties?"

"Um. Hi." I awkwardly say and he smiles, leaning over to talk into my ear so I can hear him over the music.

"Hey! Is there something going on between you and Noah?"
